Assaults vs the World could explain the increased amount of Assaults you see fielded, and since Highlanders are in that weight class by extension that could explain why you see a lot of those.

^that + omgwtfbbq new mech that likes em +pug friendly for kills = Fotm. before this it was fast ac/20's in jaggers and lrms, Next month when the time the blackjack drops it'll be something new to rage about

Its official!

the issue is boating...max/min....everyone gravitates to it. Its simple what people do.

LRMS were spastic...they got gutted into such useless crap now ......to the point is...whats the purpose of AMS again?

HSR was introduced on lasers and it took off.....we could hit crap ...bye bye missiles hello lasers they are good......HSR for ballsitics....including PCC/ERPPC and Bam now its getting LRM stupid again. the PPC adjustment is whats made everyone switching. Its not the Assault weekend or the Highlander mechs getting released that s being buggy. When you see a JAGER with 4 ER PCC .......you start to see whats going on

PCCs basically insta pin point damage, load up everyone the same or as many as you can.... and the enemy even peek around a corner or look into a cave they are either dead or basically missing a lot of weapons and almost cored that a machine gun spider could finish them off. Its not the poptarting.... though thats freaking annoying....its the PPC.

They have to stop this boating crap...yah let us play mech lab but lets start limiting how many weapons you can put on....eg max one ppc on anything up to heavy, max 2 ppc on assaults, and only let machs that are known to equip more than 3 of one type be that....aka the 3 PPC awesome.

Poll options are bad. Don't lump two different things into the same option. Did not vote.

i will repeat myself again. there is no point in discussing weapons balance for as long as missiles get fixed. the current "potart" meta-game is only going on because "poptarting" with PPCs, Gauss-Rifles and AC/40s is the best way to play the game. once missisles (SRMs and LRMS) receive their respective rebalances, we can meet again and discuss poptar-builds and potential nerfs and or buffs.

S!

Did not vote. Sure the amount of poptarts and stuff was a bit of a shock when patch came out, but just had to adjust gameplay a bit. Yes, running a Highlander as I wanted to try it out. Liked Atlas after getting used to it, Highlander seems OK but still a noob in it. The numbers will settle after a while until next FOTM comes out and the QQ Circle starts again

The problem with this logic is that it is non-falsifiable. For example: machine guns are fairly clearly broken right now, and yet, they have still generated many passionate threads on the forum recently.

If they released a 999999 damage gun with no heat and no ammo that hit instantly, it would generate many angry forum threads. This does not mean it is balanced.

What kind of logic is that?

talk about non-falsifiable, it's all subjective.

If people are passionate, then your point nullifies itself.

Pointless poll. People move with the trend, as simple as that. UAC5's, Streaks, SRMs, LRMs, AC20s, PPC's... and then small change to weapons and cycle begins again.

People try what's new. People learn to use what's effective.

Those who dont adapt raeg in forums until new OP build is found.

The game has so many problems that PGI can spend another year trying to fix them.
Prolem is they have no clue on how to make a decent Battletech feeling game.
