The state of maxs the way they are now, the lockdown really does not help. The old, old, post-release pounder was worthwile as they could cover a tower, however with a direct-fire AI, it just does not cut it. Shield and Jets are both very useful and effective. In a scatmax fighting a rexo many times I either kill them before they can fire 2 decis or they run out of decis.
*deci to my ass while I finish off other tr*
*flip on shield, take another deci*
*strafing + tower lag, they miss the 3rd deci and die*
It happens a large portion of the time in a tower. Net result is usually 2-3 dead tr and my scatmax with like 150-200 armor left.
The old shield was worthless, the new one is effective.
The jets are good and really have always been good.
The lockdown is like the jackhammer: its hard to make effective without making it overpowered.
