Hi everybody,

LD has the same options since it was released. We only can choose Tiers, RLD/GLD, server and bribing King Krogmo. My suggestion is the following: Add a roulette to make LD more challenging. This roulette limits playstyles and other abilities that make it unfair for many players.

These are the restrictions:

- No UVs: unique variants are disabled. It doesn't mean you cannot wear UVed gear. You can, but it will work as normal one.
- No CE/ME revs: this option won't be available when you die.
- No AT: auto-target won't work so you will have to aim with your own hands.
- No swords: self-explanatory.
- No guns: self-explanatory.
- No bombs: self-explanatory.
- No statuses: weapons that have status effects will deal only damage.
- No trinkets: both trinkets will be disabled for players who have them.

How it works

Its working is the same as bribing King Krogmo. Players can add energy during the countdown before the match. If the pot is filled, the roulette wheel will start to spin. Only one restriction can be enabled in each match.

eyes trying to see the end to another end

what's happen if:

- come any "no-specific" weapon and this guy only have this weapons?
- come "no statuses" and this guy only have mist bombs?

is better change this to (at least, the "no-specific" weapon):
- 1 random weapon blocked
or
- 1 random weapon allowed

Loadouts.

What if that person has only one set and no specific loadouts?

@Muffin-Top

not everyone who knows how to change loadout in the waiting area...
before that, everybody learn about "never leave one loadout marked" and "if i want change my loadout, i need to leave first"

anyway, random lock/allow weapons sounds better... for me
unless the OOO start to fix this problem... or made one tutorial

@Ink @Zeyez

Loadouts are free, everybody can make some loadouts in a few minutes. It's not easy the first time though. A tutorial is necessary as Zeyed says.

Dude. That's not what I was saying.

Example:

I play Tier 2 Lockdown, and I just have a Dusker Coat and a Swift Flourish. Nothing else. It's the ONLY Tier 2 loadout I have.

We get a sword restriction, and I have no weapons at all, and that's the only Tier 2 loadout.

It's an example. It's not really about me if that's what you're thinking.

Blaster and Blast bomb are gifts in a mission. 2-star stuff costs about 1kcr.

That didn't answer my question.

First of all, they could've sold those objects.. Secondly... you're in the middle of a match, you can't go buy something. Would you just be weaponless?

@ink

that's the point, Ink:
weapon slot restriction sounds more fair
(allow only 1 random weapon or lock 1 random weapon)

unless this guy make triple loadouts, just to allow wield his favorite weapons in any match

"Loadouts are free, everybody can make some loadouts in a few minutes."
-Auto-target is free. Everyone can activate it in a few seconds.

Why force players to use a feature but disable another? Make a game mode where everyone has AT on. That's more fair.

I was hoping it'd be something about Russian roulette :/

@Juances
omg ikr they should remove the AT toggle and make it perma-enabled.

My idea of variation to this suggestion

How about instead of the current set up we have: No UVs, New, Riot, Shady Business, ?̵̷̢̛͠?̸͝͡͞?҉̀͟͜҉ , Radioactive, Dazzling.

alright lets start off with No UVs, obivous what it does, disables UVs on items.

New as one might guess reverts all items to level one FOR THE FIGHTS ONLY. When you leave PvP they will have the same level as before.

Riot will cause the monsters enjoying the show to occasionally jump down and start attacking players! No crown drops or heat, just hearts.

Shady Business makes the visions for players be limited to the health on their shield. They get a flash light powered by their shield, everyone can see each other's flash light but recons turn theirs off while cloaked. The flash light for recons and dashers (god I can't remember the name) will at farthest, go 6 blocks ahead and lowest of 1. Guardians at farthest get 10 blocks and lowest 3.

?̵̷̢̛͠?̸͝͡͞?҉̀͟͜҉ will release the swarm into the battle field, all capture points will have swarm seeds that you must kill in order to capture the point. Swarm spawners will be tossed around the level. Revives will be instant, as dying will happen often for obvious reasons. This event only has a .999 percent chance of happening and should come with some "special" dialogue form king Kogmo if it ever happens during and after the match.

Radioactive causes all non guardian players will be poisoned while outside of the locker room depending on the tire. Guardian shields take away the poison status on allies who are whiten the ring.

Dazzling causes flashes to when ever the fallowing occur: a player with a dies, a point is taken, Kogmo gets bored. Players near these flashes are stunned temporarily.
