Why make 3 defensive gear stat spots when one stat D Pen will cancel them or add a new gear max that will be lower then the old max and if you think that makes sense you are on the dev team and should not respond to this thread. I rep'd all heroes twice in the start and took the beating by max gear players without getting mad and now will see the no or low gear players get a boost why cause they haven't played or barely played WTF so yeah whatever they don't want gear to be a factor and now they don't want defense to be a factor i just don't understand. So here is my suggestion if you didn't want gear to be a factor you shouldn't have put it in the game and if you wanted a game where you could attack blindly with no attempt at defense why didn't you make a crappy shooter.
