Idea for a new Lockdown

I've been playing lockdown since the day it came out and I can clearly see that over these years LD has gotten more and more unbalanced mainly being the input of Unique Variants which allowed many of the richer players become seemingly invulnerable due to damage bonus max and attack speed increase max.

So i thought could there be a way to balance all the classes. So not to allow 1 person to take on an entire team.
My idea was to give certain classes such as striker,recon,guardian a set specific gear which can be modified.

ALL THESE ITEMS LISTED WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A LOCKDOWN INVENTORY TO WHICH YOU CAN ASSIGN A LOAD-OUT TO A SPECIFIC CLASS SET.
(Or gotten legit but stripped of their Uv's - Comment on which you see best fit.)

It goes somewhat like this:

Striker: Main offense swords

(up to 3)

Main weapons :

Flourish line
Sealed sword line
Heavy swords line
Etc..

And in no way can these weapons be Uv'ed or sold they are merely a loadout you can set for yourself. So think of it as a load-out only available in Lock-Down.

(Up to 1)

Secondary Weapon :

Pulsar line
Antigua line
Alch line and so on
-------------------------------------------------
Recon: Main offense bomber/gunner.
(up to 3)

Main weapons :

Mist/Explosive Bombs
Alch/Pulsars/Antigua
And so on...

(Up to one) Secondary Weapon : Flourish line
Sealed sword line
--------------------------------------------------
Guardian: All rounder.
(up to 3)

Main weapons :

Flourish line/Sealed sword line
Explosive/Mist bombs

(Up to 1)

Secondary Weapon :

Antigua
Pulsar
Alch
And so on..
---------------------------------------------------

Now for the armor sets

Striker : You can choose between any of the armor sets which give sword bonuses Vog, skolver etc..

Recon : You can choose between any Gunner/Bomber armor sets which give a bonus to gunner/bomber. (Hybrids in this case are allowed.).

Guardian : You can choose any armor set that can fit your desire depending on the situation.

---------------------------------------------------
(IF ACQUIRED LEGIT GEAR THIS ONLY APPLIES FOR TIER 3)
Trinkets:

CTR: Sword/Guns/Bombs (Med,low)
ASI : Sword/Guns/Bombs (Med,low)
DMG: Sword/Guns/Bombs (Med,low)
Health: All classes (+6)

Striker allowed trinkets:

CTR Swords (Med)
ASI Swords (Med)
DMG Swords (Med)

Recon allowed trinkets :

CTR Bombs/Guns (Med)
ASI Guns (Med)
DMG Guns /Bombs (Med)

Guardian allowed trinkets : All trinkets at low (Wasn't sure about this one comment your thought on this.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The weapon selections might not be totally good leave your opinion please.

So....

Lockdown would give us all the Gear we need, but only for LD?
Kinda like Blast Netwrk, everybody has the same gear yet its the one with skills who win.
Im all for it. but SK has a huge immature playerbase. get ready for the whines bro.

Yes

Lockdown will give you all the weapons in a different arsenal which is only accessible in terms of lockdown.

But this idea could work for weapons that you got from farming too.

no

Because this doesn't let me be a striker bomber, or anything else unconventional. The effectiveness of UVs should be reduced, definitely, but not by removing the variety you can have.

I hope this makes sense.

How about you can have any star fitting weapon and armor, and with bonuses for fitting things for the class like we currently have? That way everyone's strategy is a available! Oh and yeah, only allow people with t3 clearance into t3, t2 for t2, it seems just seems fairer for beginners that way (of course, you can still go back down to t1 if you want). Oh, and divide it into star levels, so 4 stars aren't demolished by 5 stars. It also doesn't spoil people by allowing 4*'s to have 5* weapons in LD.

Dividing it into 6 sections instead of three would split the playerbase, so if you just upgraded your 3* stuff to 5* you basically can't play LD (because no one stays at 4* for long) until you get full 5*, which is a long time to wait.
