Why do we have the same All-Star with three different skins?

I agree, my brother who loves all star plays all star the most out of any other class. Even he noticed the lack of diversity between golf,baseball,and hockey star. They all seem so similar and he also questions why hockey star doesn't do toxic damage to his enemies. I am not to sure where hockey star lands for attribute, since I think baseball star is meant for a fast fire rate, I am not sure where hockey star lands besides overheating every like three seconds. My brother compared to the first game plays the all star especially golf star much differently. From the first he would do what was intended and act as a bit of a sniper wit golf star, now he just runs in point blank range to shoot his enemies as golf star. The diversity just seems to be lacking there.

i know the golf all star is the sniper where if he crits he does a lot more damage. baseball all star has a higher fire rate and as for the hockey all star i thought he was the toxic variant due to it saying on gw1 his shot stinks. 

but from what i seen from the scientist class the physicist chemist (edited after mistake found) and zoologist are the same but packaged different 

@thackest2k

For scientist I wasn't expecting physisist, I thought it would be marine,chemist, and zoologist since one is rapid fire the other is close range and the last is both.

    As for all star something different and new is lacking a little, like moto x was nice for something new. Perhaps a billiard star that shoots pool balls and the number of each pool ball is the damage emitted. It is random what ball flies out.

@cmh05171 i meant to say chemist i get the names mixed up thanks for the correction 🙂

@cmh05171 cool idea for the snooker/billiards/pool all-star  random damaged balls but the 8/black ball is a instant ko if hit but at a 3-10% chance of getting it.

id love to see a football zombie like the rocket solider and iron citron where its a one shot but powerful damage but it can bounce and ricochet as well. or even a darts all-star that can pierce through players.

Perhaps a soccer star that shoots soccer cleats (soccer balls seem to big) that deal piercing damage or maybe do more damage to armor or both. And the one shot idea in my opinion doesn't fit all star since he always doesn't have a ammo count. But if there could be one I'd say is a shot put (Don't know if I said that right,the sport of throwing the big metal ball a certain distance). He would shoot a big metal ball that did big damage before having to reload after every shot.

I know that they are supposed to be different, but in practice, they are nearly identical in performance with high rate of fire and low damage and no real change. In Gw1, the Golf-Star was somewhat different, since his projectile wasn't affected by gravity, but in this game, this is the case for almost every All-Star. the Chemist and Zoologist are like the Wrestling and Rugby-Star. They use the same concept (a close range super shotgun) but they act very differently. The Chemist has higher damage and a wider cone, but the Zoologist fires faster, which is a big enough difference warrant separate playstyles. These three All-Stars however change only on a very low level with minuscule differences in damage and rate of fire, which makes them practically the same.

Yeah,all-star diversity is pretty bad right now, His only good variant being basic, both his elemental one and the two new one he got. All his other variant are generally just outclassed by those due to how similar they all are: 

• baseball star and golf star which not only are nearby the same,but also get both outclassed by basic in any range anyway.
• Hockey star is outclassed by basic and just overheat everytime
• Rugby star is outclassed by moto-x-star (as he have a splash,it not obvious at the first place but it have one)
• Wresting star is outclassed by basic in any range

Also I'm pretty sure golf star is the same as he was in GW1 like most of his other variant.

@Boolerex

The problem isn't that the variants are unplayable as the stock is heavily overrated/the others are underrated, especially the Wrestling and Rugby Star, as the default only sounds like he's firing much faster (default fires7, Rugby and Wrestling fire 5 round per second) and the Golf-Star has insane DPS at close range because he fires with 20 rounds per second. But the Baseball-Star is almost the same and the Hockey-Star has the same concept, just with less DPS.
