with all this talk about the TW being the most OP Mech in MWO it has me wondering

What is the worst Heavy in the game?

[mindwarp]

Probably the Dragon. Terrible hitboxes, poor harpoints, poor hardpoint placement.

[Onmyoudo]

Dragon, Quickdraw, post-geometry Catapult, some people even say the Thunderbolt. Clanners will say the Summoner, but I'm not sure it's really a contender. Take your pick.

[Ozric]

Dragon. Unless you're a Dragon pilot, in which case no heavies are bad.

[Elizander]

The one you do the worst in because I've seen some 1k damage dragon games and all the guy had was a couple of AC5s and some mediums.

[Walluh]

Dragons go turbospeed. Quickdraws are the worst.

[151st Light Horse Regiment]

Summoner.

Has like, 1 hardpoint for a small laser.

Funny thing, on TT The Dragon, Quickdraw and Jager were total Crap Builds. The Catapult was a solid workhorse Heavy. Thunderbolt was a good addition to any force. Cataphract looked weird but stood its own.

My point exactly. Some pilots just don't play fair.

Dragon- the speed doesn't make up for huge CT issues, lack of JJ, and mixed bad/good hardpoints.

[Carrioncrows]

Hands down Quick draw.

[Cyborne Elemental]

The QuickLeg.

[Vassago Rain]

Orion.

TMI man TMI!

Actually Vassago, you might be right for me personally, now that I think about it. I almost never see an Orion on the field, their job can be done by Heavies that are 5-10 tons lighter. Hmm...

It's one of those mechs that don't really exist.

The quickdraw is very rare, but people do run it occasionally, while dragons are oldtimey novelty mechs that come out to play for special events. No one runs orions unless they have to.

It's funny how the Quckie is always in the crap list... Granted it's huge for it's tonnage and has some glaring hit-box issues.

That said, having invested much time in mine, it's become my work-horse mech and second only to my Ilya, I'm able to provide solid team support and more often than not... I wind up inside the top four damage contributors and usually have at least 2 to 3 kills.

Lastly, strangely enough... It's much maligned as being easy to leg yet I cannot even recall the last time I got legged?

Personally, I'd throw the Dragon on the pyre before my Quickie...
