Let me show you how its done

I agree, but this is not the way to get it done. .-.

@Holy Just posted a massive text wall on why AT should be removed.

A short yet effective counterargument to your post:

AT is free. All you need to do to use AT is to log on, and click a box.

Stuff that is supposedly unfair to you:
Gear that is "unbalanced" includes chaos, BK stuff, wolver lines, gunslinger lines, basically anything that buff weapons in any way.
BK stuff is ridiculously expensive. 25k E for a BKC is a very high price. But you get what you pay for.
Skolver? Chaos? 5* Stuff costs like 2k E to make, 3.5k E to buy. And honestly, that isn't much to pay as a one-time price for a good piece of gear.
Trinkets? You have to grind for the stuff to craft them. Then, for the insanely cheap price of 150 E per trinket, you can use it.
UVs? UVs take effort to get. If you buy an ASI High flourish, you paid 8k E. That is a lot of in game money. You get what you paid for.

Basically, everything except auto target reflects how much effort you put into the game. The more effort you put in, the better stuff you'll have.

If you want to do better in lockdown, start grinding vanaduke or pay money to get the stuff you want. You can't expect to bring everyone who grinded for/bought UVs and trinkets and good gear to go all the way down to your level just because you are lazy. Laziness is never a justification for anything, even in an online game.

To give a relevant example, laziness in the real world gives you bad grades, which leads to failure. Put effort into life, and you get good grades, a good job, and could even start a business. This then leads to money, which then leads to hot girls (assuming you are a guy).

In short, put some effort into getting decent UVs and gear and trinkets, and you'll see how easy it is. Just a personal recommendation, medium UVs are the best value. Spend like 2 weeks grinding vana, and you could make a nice UVed skolver set (Get some normal or shock high action going on each piece for like 3k E total), UVed weapons (some ASI medium for 2k E per weapon, then upgrade), then trinkets (easy to make, easy to maintain). Then start hitting 15k a match, and get accused of using AT, and proceed to rage. Then you will realize why AT is extremely unfair, compared to stuff such as UVs and trinkets.

Last note: ASI VH isn't always the best ;)

I assume you have somewhat of a grasp on how mice and dots per inch work, right?
If you do, uncheck "auto target by default"...and play. It's not all about abusing game design you know.

I honestly don't care about the effectiveness of AT in LD, when it's good or bad, when people use toggle, the fact that anyone can use it, etc. It's just a factor that makes the game less about the players' skill, and I want it gone. Same with UVs.

As for making all gear the same and going to that extreme, imo that is a lazy solution. In theory all gear can be balanced so the gear you use is a playstyle choice and not simply picking the "best" gear, because there would be no "best". Plus, making all gear the same gets rid of all the different, interesting ways to play that having a variety of weapons available does. If I want to play a tanky, hard-hitting guardian, or a poky striker, or an area denial haze bomber, I can't do those things if all I have is Azure armor, a Levi, Vali and Nitro.

Also, relevant.

So long as one player has better stuff than someone else there will always be butthurt

Can't call them AT users?

Just call everyone Hammer/Polaris noobs and yell that they hacked SK so they could use AT in non AT matches.

The hate will always continue.......

Don't forget to get a Haze bomb guardian to Pocket you as well as your Pentas and ASI UVs.

Note: For those who don't know Pocketing is a term that arose in TF2 where a Medic would spend the majority of his time healing and buffing one particular teammate, as a typical Pocket Medic recipient the Heavy (AKA Slow tanky massive DPS class) would use his power and items to keep his medic safe and healthy
