Explaining Meta LMS (old thread https://cutstuff.net/forum/index.php?topic=11712.0)

I have a dream
of choosing the LMS loadout.
But the weapon balance wasn't really designed for this, so what to do?
Well what if choosing certain weapons buffed/nerfed your hp depending on that weapon's winrate?
That's the basic idea of this mod.

But I also had to add something to address some problems with this.

So each map change there's an alternation of the rules.
Ruleset 1: Player choice loadouts, unscored results. "Freeplay"
Everyone gets to choose their loadouts. Hopefully this will be balanced over time, which is the end goal.
And the results are unscored. So you can choose your favorite weapons and win without worrying about getting them nerfed.
Ruleset 2: Random loadouts, scored results. "Data Collection"
Everyone gets random loadouts. Let's get some people out of their weapon comfort zones...
And the results are scored. Random loadouts should essentially test every weapon, and those weapons' power-levels should contribute to a winrate for that weapon. And if that winrate then refactors into a weapon's power (affecting its wielder's hp), an equilibrium should be reached... or at least we should see some fun weapon power trends.

"Benchmark Weapons"
Oh also some weapons in the loadout menu are marked with a "B" like so

(click to show/hide)

These weapons will not change your hp and I consider them the "average" weapon of their category.
(I think having some weapons stay at +/- 0% hp means the other weapons will center around that value?)
Choose them if you want a guaranteed 100 hp.
They are:
Thunder Bolt
Metal Blade
Flame Blast
Drill Bomb
Scorch Wheel
