Bonus question (you can make a long answer for this one):
Do you think, given a large sample size, there will be strong correlations in the responses to certain questions? If so, which ones and how do you think they will be correlated?

Klipik-Forum

1. No
2. No
3. Yes (Chaos, infrequently)
4. Yes, and this question needs to include BTB
5. Yes (Vog set)
6. Yes (~15-20ms)

7. Yes
8. Yes (unless they're changed)
9. No (but BK should be fixed or made more accessible)
10. No, but Acheron should be nerfed
11. No
12. Yes, definitely

Bonus question:

You'll probably get a pretty strong correlation between people who use advantageous things and people who advocate for those things. Obvious reason being, they like using the things they have. Similarly, there could be a strong correlation between people who don't use OP stuff and those who want it removed. It will probably be less strong though, because their non-use could be because they don't want the OP stuff, or because (in the case of BK gear and insane UVs) they can't get it, but want it anyway.

P.S.

It's also worth mentioning that a very large majority of people use stat-boosting gear of some kind.

And you didn't mention HP trinks at all. Or any other trinks for that matter.

8. Yes
9. No
10. No
11. NO
12. YES

13. Yes
14. No

Theirillusion

1. Do you use AT in Lockdown? Never, that means unchecked auto target and no toggle button at all times.
2. Do you use beneficial (ASI, CTR, etc.) UVs in Lockdown? I do.
3. Do you use Black Kat or Chaos equipment in Lockdown? Some times.
4. Do you use Archeron, Final Flourish, or Gran Faust/Divine Avenger in Lockdown? Close to always.
5. Do you use equipment that give damage or ASI buffs in Lockdown? Of course I do, they give more benefit than "defensive" gear does.
6. Do you think your connection is above average compared to the typical Lockdown player? I suppose yes.

7. Should AT be banned from Lockdown? Banned is gor me a completely viable option, but custom lobbies would make more players happy.
8. Should UVs be banned from Lockdown? If we even think about this before AT is taken care of, how will we get through?
9. Should Black Kat and/or Chaos equipment be banned from Lockdown? No, embrace new real items. That means helms, armor and weapons.
10. Should Archeron and/or Final Flourish and/or GF/DA be banned from Lockdown? ^
11. Should all equipment that give damage or ASI buffs be banned from Lockdown?^
12. Does a stable connection and low latency enhance a player's performance more than any other game-dependent factor? No

@Illusion

What was so hard about "yes" and "no"? .-.

And, as a discussion question, do you think BK gear and Chaos are more powerful than other armors, and if so, why is it okay (balance-wise) to leave them in especially if BK is rare?

@Klipik Yeah, I expect that

@Klipik
Yeah, I expect that sort of correlation too, but I'm interested in seeing how many people will have non-intuitive correlations.
ie. they don't use something but don't support it being banned. Or they use something but support it being banned.

@People who didn't read the instructions or chose to ignore them
Obviously most of the questions don't have clear-cut answers. The point is to make you pick a poison, to see "where your true loyalties lie" so to speak.

My answers (as of recently, not in my old days):
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. No

7. No
8. No
9. No
10. Yes
11. No

13. No
14. Yes
15. No

Muffin-Top

1. Do you use AT in Lockdown? Never, it's always off
2. Do you use beneficial (ASI, CTR, etc.) UVs in Lockdown? I do. Medium ASI and CTR, as well as some mist immunities and defensive ones.
3. Do you use Black Kat or Chaos equipment in Lockdown? Chaos and 3-star BK set.
4. Do you use Archeron, FF/BTB, or GFt/DA in Lockdown? FF and GF are my main swords.
5. Do you use equipment that give damage or ASI buffs in Lockdown? Sure
6. Do you think your connection is above average compared to the typical Lockdown player? I don't think so. 3 bars on EU and 2 on US.

7. Should AT be banned from Lockdown? At least from T3.
8. Should UVs be banned from Lockdown? Non-UV lobby would be fine, but they shoudn't be banned for LD overall
9. Should Black Kat and/or Chaos equipment be banned from Lockdown? Chaos full set and BKC are balanced imo. Full BK set is overpowered even in its 3 star form.
10. Should Archeron and/or FF/BTB and/or GF/DA be banned from Lockdown? No, I don't see any reason to do so.
11. Should all equipment that give damage or ASI buffs be banned from Lockdown? ^
12. Does a stable connection and low latency enhance a player's performance more than any other game-dependent factor? No, AT deals better performance.

Added Q's
13. Do you use heart trinkets in Lockdown? Sure
14. Should heart trinkets be banned from Lockdown? I think so, it would make classes more balanced.
15. Do you use trinkets in general in Lockdown? Appart from heart trinkets, I sometimes use sword ASI buff as recon.
16. Should all trinkets be banned from Lockdown? I don't think so.

Bonus question: Do you think, given a large sample size, there will be strong correlations in the responses to certain questions? If so, which ones and how do you think they will be correlated? Correlation does not imply causation.

16. Should all trinkets be banned from Lockdown? Sure would benefit every ASI VH wielding player a lot. Gonna say yes because trinket slots costs too much.

@Illusion - Because your answers were a lot longer, and you didn't say "yes" or "no" at the beginning.

13. Yes
14. No (It would make everything die too fast)
15. Yes (ASI med sometimes)
16. No (more variability of loadouts)

Sorry Irllusion

I didn't mean to call you out, it's just that your response stood out from the others with the massive amount of text. There is an implied "that goes for everyone" since I was just reiterating what was already said in the OP.
What really gets me is that Muffin-Top completely ignored my post, even though it was right above his (hers?). Ah well, it's the SK forums.

@Krakob below
No it's not secretly more than entertainment, but the entertainment lies in comparing answers. You can't compare "eh...kinda" with "yes" and "no" very well.

1. No2. Yes(all of them

1. No
2. Yes(all of them rolled by me) asi low on punch of stuff and asi med on DA
3. Yes,I use chaos when I feel like gunning,and half chaos half vog normally
4. No to acheron,yes to DA and BTB
5. yes I always have at least 1 chaos piece,and the other piece is either vog or chaos
6. No,I'm quite sure it's not above,if not wayy less than the normal one ._.
7. Yes
8. No,they are hard to obtain,that alone is half banning them.
9. No for banning chaos,it's my only set beside vog ._.
10. No to all,that would kill the variety in this game
11. No,A normal player would usually have bonus giving sets only,this will keep everyone gearless in ld,just buff the effect of defense to balance it
12.Yes,if we had better servers,half of players' complains would disappear,including ones about balancing weapons and gear,I won't explain how and why,I know that from a personal experience
13. Yes,two 4* HP trinks,I mean geez,a trink slot is like..1 fsc? oh and 1 elite slashing trinket,I use it when my connection is good enough for me to dodge
14. No,then nerf all weapons to like half or third of their current damage,which doesn't make sense since we didn't need to ban HP trinks in first place
15.Yes,Always,only a fool would go without trinks just to prove a point,they are easy to obtain and it's simply idiotic to complain about them side by side complaining about UVs,high-very high UVs takes tones of rolling and rolling is quite expensive you know,and gear with h-vh UVs are sold for like 10-20 kce ,while getting a 4* trink would take 1 day of grinding or so,if you were a lazy ass who can't afford grinding even after they removed mist and removed all limits,don't complain when players who grinded for weeks to get their hard earned gear and trinks wreck you in second in ld
16.No,just no

Oh and pardon me for not sticking to yes and no,I just feel that my answers would be fruitless if I don't back them up with reasons,I wrote the answer before stating why for every question btw

Edit: oh and why isn't pola involved in any question o.O?

If there were two kinds of LD, neither one would have enough players.
