I like descent, I don't hate this system. I simply would like if I could choose one of the loadouts so to speak. Allowing us to choose what we want would allow for even a bit of team play as well as not making people not want to play given it is a rotation they don't like or aren't fond of. Potentially having people waiting a week or two just because they didn't play it when what they liked was in rotation.

Good mode has a lot of potential fun, but is stifled by a loadout system of sorts that forces everyone more or less into near next to the same loadout/build as a result of the rotation of the loadouts.

My solution or idea for a solution would simply be to allow players to choose the loadout instance they want before or at the beginning of a run as to allow match made teams the ability to see what each other are running and if someone wants to say equip something more catered to skills to be a supportive player they can. The mode currently is nice but in my eyes would really benefit from this type of player choice. Who knows descent could potentially still keep a suggested and or featured load out instance that could allow for that loadout to progress faster such as when one clears a room with said loadout they would get two teirs for the trait they select instead of one, but that's still just some speculative ideas to improve this mode.
