If you're a lock w/ 99 perimeter defense, Glue takeover ability makes you slower and worse defensively

After doing testing in theater and park on my lock w/ 99 defense I found that your defensive slides, bumps, and movement are significantly worse with the Glue takeover than others at the start of the game *when the meter isn't filled up*. My theory is that the takeover ability basically activates the animations and interactions that you already have with maxed out defense, so when you select the Glue takeover it essentially takes them away and gives them back to you when you get the meter filled and the special ability again. I need some other locks with 99 to use Hydration Hero takeover or something then Glue takeover and see the difference, it's insane. I'm going to come with clips once I have time
