I expect a lot of rage from this 3-3-3-3. I think the best trolling lance will be 3 Locusts and one Quickdraw, even better if with a (C) attached.

It's as good as it's now before enforced 3-3-3-3?

and stop disliking Quickies they are fine mechs!

depends on your deck.
I think i would like to have a 2-2 (for example 2 mediums and 2 assaults) or (2 lights and 2 heavys)

for example 2 Wolverine/Griffins with decent short range anti light weapons - and 2 assault mid range juggernauts - with large caliber - weapons like PBW10, MagGun15 and or HACs, or VHACS

I see most 4 mans dropping as 3 assualts and 1 heavy. That way you don't have to worry about pugs feed the beef to the pugzapper 1 by 1

The risk is to have very long waiting queues that way.

I am worried that the fixed drop schema will make it easy to game the restriction in order to have advantages (prepared syncdrops) or just to enrage the normal community using absurd combinations using below-average mechs like awesome, locust, trebuchet and so on in order to enforce a disadvantage on the team.

This is already possible now but 3-3-3-3 will allow to combine the bad mech with the loss of weight caused by a low-in-class chassis. Four persons doing this would mean a 15*4=60 tons of disadvantage enforced on unsuspecting players.

In my opinion a total weight limitation would have had less potential for abuse.

Let's be honest, most people like quickies, but putting in more time is well worth it

WHAT??? You mean use a proven method of balance for all tank type (yeah, this is basically a tank game) games??
heresy!!
we need to implement a complex, vague, confusing method that for some you can bypass it cleanly.

2 awesome and 2 locust is better
