A suggestion to possibly relieve the headache of LD players and OOO forum terminators alike?

Alright, gonna poke the pile of cow manure with this one. Whatever that means...
So...Auto Target.
The anti target arguments: NO SKILL NUB
Tha pro-AT arguments: MY CONNEKTUN SUX SEVERS *#/-/% POLARIS
So©, here is a possible fix. I llayed another game, which uodated the ping of each player real time. It showed that some people had single digit ping, while others had over 50) - 1000. I think OOO could implement a feature that only allows auto target in lockdown only, with some code to regulate it.
For example, they could add :
If the ping is over 100 (arbitrary ping value), AT is allowed. Else, AT is not allowed. Then, a player with low ping of, say, 69 (arbitraryily arbitrary) could not benefit from AT, while a player who libves on mars with a ping of 420k would be allowed to use AT.
Sso....let's see how much hate i get. Dont hurt meh! I iz only a paltry dish of pasta D:
Let the hunger games....commence¡

This again...
A suggestion about lockdown in which we attempt to nerf auto-target? Again?
Lockdown is an unbalanced mess with the striker in its current situation. Offense greatly outweighs defense in Spiral Knights, and for whatever reason we've given the offense the same amount of defense as the defense class.
Poor sports are always going to be trying to shame other players who outplay them because they've been outplayed. That's not a thing that's been bred in Spiral Knights, that's in all competitive games. Altering how the auto-target system works will not magically "solve" lockdown, especially because that is a feature that all players, new or old, have access to.
In order to make lockdown more fair, I would recommend giving the striker more status vulnerabilities, give recon a slight movement speed boost while cloaked, and increase the defense of guardians and/or give the shield some status resistances. If we're going to change anything about how the minigame works, we should be changing what is unique to the minigame: the class shields.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
You're missing the point.
The reason AT is around is to ease the skill curve. If you've been playing a long time and STILL use AT, then you ARE a noob and it's your problem. You cannot lead with guns, cannot out-guess people...you put it in the computer's hands, which isn't the best idea.
I don't use AT because it's UP. Google "Balancing for Skill".
the only thing to fix in LD is people with high ego who claim to be perfect with all advantage they have~
LD community in old days is not this bad even lot of people were using AT before.. you know why? it because people with bad ego spreading issue about AT being overpowered, give range, and aimbot. jeez this is just minigame -_-'
want to know other funnies thing?
some people say AT increase bomb range and some people claim "polaris AT mode : on", and running shot while the truth AT on gun not active while walking.. seerusly this already happen in lot match.
