I like Lockdown, a lot. Recently however, i have been noticing a problem that really bugs me. BALANCE. Specifically, how balance doesn't exist. I know they have the whole "teir" thing that is an attempt to balance the game, but it doesn't work. You still end up with poor 2*s like me facing people with MUCH better equipment, trinkets, etc. So, I was thinking there should be an OPTION for set loadouts. It would introduce a sort of class-based feel that I think LD is missing. It would promote actual TACTICS and SKILL, not just spamming attacks with superior weapons. This way, the 3 classes (Gaurdian, Striker, Recon) would actually have more differences then just their special abilities. I also think there could still be a "teired" structure. The way the classes are organized would be roughly the same (Gaurdians get the plate mail type armors/heavy swords, strikers get wolver/cutter type swords, and recon gets a balanced set) but the armors and weapons would just be BETTER as you increase in teir. I think this is a good way to balance out LD, and reduce the amounts of rage I tend to encounter when playing it.
Set Loadouts option?

Or you can do what I do, and make a few hundred loadouts to cover every possible gear combination you might want to use in Lockdown, name them all systematically, and then use the search bar to find your desired loadout in-game.
EDIT: Sorry, I've realized that was a bit off topic.
Yes, some people have way better gear, but they paid for it. Its an incentive to spend money and support the game.
Besides predefined loadouts limit options and variety.
Maybe an alternate mode, but leave original LD as it is or find a different way to balance it.
