Rework leggy items?(I need help, can someone please help me find the suggestions area?)

currently, in the meta, the leggy item are way too OP. Basically a lv 35 epic item, and guess what? it starts with that stat! its unfair.
So my idea, some may like, some may not: different items come in different varieties, but only 1-?
Say you get a leggy E cannon, it does 300 damage, at epic, it does 270, and rare, at 240. The upgrades also differ, leggy: +9, epic, +8, rare, +7

Here are some ideas for weapons and yellow items.
Leggy items include: Tesla shield, big berta, railgun, nitro, frost items
Epic items: E cannon, carronade, tesla bolt, long range mortar, big torpedo
Rare items: overboost, sniper, blast, ballpark, swift torpedo, flare
Uncommon items: Mine, napalm, fire bomb, triple torp, 'nade
common items: cannon, regular mortar, missiles, ballpark mortar

OR,

Would you rather have it like this: the harder weapon to use, the more rarity it gets?

No.

Legendary items are extremely hard to get, which is why their damage is perfectly fine. Nothing needs to be changed about items.

Also, just nerf sniper/TS already, the requests are starting to get a bit annoying

 

You forgot to say change nothing except add 4th perk slot for t2.

 

The power of Legendary Items is negated (at least in part) by the difficulty there is getting one. The only re-balancing I want to see with Legendary Items is an increase in Gear Score. My Rare Big Torpedo at one point did about 1000 damage and had onky 10 less Gear Score when the Legendary did 1500 damage. That means that with Gear Score matchmaking, a 1000-damage Big Torpedo would be ranked even with a 1500-damage Big Torpedo.
Sorry @NoTtIaN but I think Legendary Items have somewhat balanced statistics for the difficulties one must go through to obtain one.
