As my learned friend Snipa has pointed out, the originaly purpose of LLD was probably to troll. Over the years it has morphed into what it is today. You do not need the best items to be competitive. I mean Vita Sorc's/TeleDuDu will not break a piggee bank. Yes certain builds favour having gg items (Barb; Ama) but thats at HLD as well (fools weapons etc).
also, if i am not mistaken
https://www.diablowiki.net/Low_level_duel was written at the time of D3. Therefore please read it with a pinch of salt, noting D3 does not have a credible PvP system.
As Avenged said, some players play at lower levels noting the times you come across good players is smaller then when HLD'ing, but certainly on EU we have seen alot of HLD players (even elite players) leaving LLD after losing.
LLD does not level the playing field noting fundamentally, without enigma, the bracket will favour the skill teleport. In this regard East (with teleport staves) is a purer pvp environment then EU.
