Most people complain about Lockdown/BN, so I created a comprimise.

1) Krogmo Mist
This is like the old "mist" but only used in Lockdown. 1 KM is gained every 2 minutes, 100(max) gained in 3 hours 20 min. KM is used for the use of trinkets, UVs on WEAPONS, and Auto Target. Every match uses 10 KM mist if 1 of the options is applied, 20 if 2 are applied, and 25 if 3 are applied. Once KM is all used up, bonuses will be removed.

2) Krogmo Coins
This is not an edition, just another way to use all of your Krogmo Coins. When bribing King Krogmo, the energy bribing system will be removed and replaced with a similar version that uses Krogmo Coins. 50 Krogmo Coins will be needed to fully bribe him, and instead of a Krogmo Coin prize, it would be extra crowns prize. This way, more people will play Blast Network to collect their set of bombheads.

3)Support
I need support for this to be noticed and given a thought. Thanks!

So the Krogmo King awards you Krogmo Koins for winning matches, then you pay back the Krogmo Koins that Krogmo King gives to bribe?

1. Sky, I think that he means that you pay 200 crowns to participate, and can spend Krogmo Mist to get the other perks.

2. It's crowns, not Krogmo Coins that Sensei here is suggesting.

Now, my reviews:

1. How about we just remove Auto-Target in its entirety in PvP. It's annoying, develops no skill whatsoever, and allows FF and BTB people to spam all over the place and kill Recons and Guardians just like that.

2. How would the extra crowns work? Since you need 50 Krogmo Coins (at least 25 matches), it has to be something quite significant.

Reasons:
1) Flourish with fiend med gets penalized the same as a flourish with ASI very high.
2) People can change auto-target settings while playing Lockdown. It is part of the main UI, not easy to lock up.
3) Great, let people who have mist for trinkets dominate the match... Most people would probably play until their trinket mist runs out then stop because their chance of winning drastically plummets.

4) Krogmo coins are worth 100 crs each if you buy mod calibrators/enamorocks and sell them on AH.

5) I don't think making Lockdown less popular would make Blast Network more popular. Lots of people don't play blast network because it's just not as intense competitively. Luck plays a larger role and game play is very repetitive. You might as well play bomberman instead of logging on SK to play BN.

Replies to you:

1. You can CHOOSE to have the UV thing for your Flourish. It's not mandatory.
2. Right, like how it's super hard to program people not being able to change weapons in the Clockworks without an Arsenal. OH WAIT.
3. Actually, I agree on this. I believe that trinkets should be removed, or at least reduced for health pendants.
4. True. But who really is going to grind Krogmo coins instead of FSC Elite?
5. That's not the reason Blast Network isn't that popular. The reason it isn't is because people don't get to customize powerbuilds to crush others. Everyone's on the same slate, and optimizer hate that. Plus, there's the whole "team up with a noob who blows you up accidentally" thing, too.
