I started playing a new hero a couple of days ago and I found out that the loot I dropped at that level is almost useless because the buff you are given is not larger than the debuff you get on the other stat. I decided to not use anything until I reached rep 2 and could get blue loot.

For new players this means they have to get to rep 2 until the game "starts"for them. I think this is to long. Not a lot of new players will play 40 levels until the game starts to get fun.

Suggestion:

Remove the debuff stat from lvl 1-6 gear. Just give it a small buff so the new players can try out what they like and what they do not like without having a negative stat that makes the gear useless.

We need something to keep this game alive and the best way would be new players (I am german and had to play with russian players for 2 hours now, has not been fun because even with my perfect PC I had terrible lags because of a host more than 1.000 miles away) !

I think there is a simpler solution: a dominion or elim/skirmish option to turn off gear stats. That way you can get the higher xp/steel without having to get pounded into the ground by every 144 gear score player out there. As close to skill based xp gain for new players/players that want to start a new char as you can get imo. you can even cap the mode so only rep 2 and under heroes can play in it, if you wanna be nice to new players.

At the start of Season 2, we actually made an active effort to reduce the gap between starting gear and high level gear. While high level gear will still obviously put you at a better advantage, equipping lower rarities of gear will give you the stats you need to remain competitive against them.

This actually upset alot of us established players. What did we worm so hard grinding for just to make new players gear near equal? Matchmaking should be adjusted not gear
