How about instead of having just 9 loadouts shared between 25+ characters, each character got its own set of say 3 loadouts each? I find the current loadout system to be messy since most my loadouts are built with a specific character in mind and largely irrelevant for the rest of them.
I just don’t see the benefit to having a nine-loadouts-fit-all approach when the 25 characters and their items for PvE vs PvP are different. The loadouts are already shown after character selection anyway so why not make them relevant to the character you choose?
Agreed. There should deffo be at least 25 loadout options, and there should be an option to ‘tie’ a loadout with a specific character such that that loadout is automatically highlighted on the character select screen like skins and taunts (with a star).
Actually I wanted to make identical sugestion. Reworking a loadout whenever I wanted to change character was the thing that subtracted most fun for me in beta. I don’t see reasons for doing it this way. Different characters doesn’t want to share loadouts. In games with multiple characters I like to play with many of them simultanously and often switch between them rather then stick with one so I see that curent system would be an issue for me. From my perspective it’s highest priority problem demanding fix.
Also, I don’t know how many times this happened to someone else…but I’d go into a match with a couple of characters in mind to play…and then they would be taken. Then I would have to decide which other character I could choose which would help balance the team…and then limit that list to characters which I had a gear loadout which also would work with that character.
It would be great to have load-outs for each character, so if you have to change your thinking as to which character you play, you don’t go into the match with a disadvantage because you didn’t happen to have a load-out which was optimal for that character.
Thanks for your support on this guys. I agree that the loadout system limitations are a huge issue and hope it is resolved.
@Jythri you asked me before if I thought 9 loadouts is enough, I don’t know if you got my response but please see above for some good justifications on why it isn’t.
Love the idea, but don’t see it being implemented anytime soon as I think not having it only minorly affects the “quality of life” in the game. And odds are, far enough down the road people will be used to it and so there will no longer be much of a call to change it.
In my opinion the loadout system being inadequate is not a minor issue. It’s an integral part of the game. Nobody wants to remove their other characters loadouts just to play a new one. Why get used to it if it can be fixed?
Another issue I ran across is that when I selected the random hero option, it gave me my first loadout, which was terrible for the character I was given. It would be nice if I could get the random character, but select a loadout that I want.
