So, I've been playing a good amount of both T2 and T3 Lockdown and I've noticed something strange. Tier 2 Lockdown had more people that were, well, competitive. I found this strange. It seems like more and more skilled players are moving to tier 2 lockdown. Not sure why this is the case, but has anyone else noticed anything similar?

End-Game players have played too much "T3 LD". Therefore, they're moving to T2 since T3 bores them. xP

Good for them - T2 is better anyway.

T2 is way, way way way, less

T2 is way, way way way, less bursty. You can get hit 2 times and still have a chance to pull out some clutch moves and make a comeback. I'm not a top tier player but I honestly feel like there's more of a chance to outplay your opponent and finesse a fight a lot more.

In T3 I feel like I'm walking across a rifle range in a chicken suit.

Recon FTW

It's T3.

It brings many new strategies to play with the wider radi of the mist bombs and the pulsar and brandish lines. And I just love getting a double kill as recon. You also get to experience the diversity of the glove trinkets.

T2 is fun since theres no burst of damage that can kill you.

Im too lazy to unmark 6969 loadouts to play it tho.

I notice it a lot, but either some of them are alts or some of them have never touched T3 LD before at all.

Then again, the health/damage ratio of T2 LD does call for higher competitive play- You're not gonna 2 shot dual tri-heart users in T2 with that Sealed Sword unlike what you CAN do in T3 with a damage maximum Gran Faust.

T3 is for people who enjoy bursting (or getting bursted) from 100 to 0 with a Gran Faust.

T2 is for people who enjoy managing their abilities effectively to maintain consistent DPS while being safe as possible.

It's like comparing apples to potatoes.

T2

You have less of a problem getting bursted in this tier. However, if you build a high def armor in t3 then you won't die as fast. T3 is more on the edge because you die a lot faster. T2 is fun too but honestly, t1 is the most balanced.

hmm

T3 is all about speed, and strength you die in 3 seconds if your not running or hiding or have a REALLY good sword/weapon

T2 actually takes some thought you can't running and spam a Grand Faust, you have to think about it a bit more, unless you got a ASI CTR Hammer XD
