Legs of Ravens are still entirely too big compared to other light mechs. I just finished grinding elite for 2x and 4x and finally got master 3L and still to this date most of my deaths are from leggings. I get legged at a range of 500m + on a daily bases usually on their first shot. Meanwhile while I dance with spiders, commandos and jenners I can't hit their legs from 100 meters. Ravens are no problem but the other light mechs seem to get an easy button.
When will the senseless legging of Ravens end?

They seem just right to me. Suck it up buttercup.

what constructive feedback you offer

There is nothing wrong with the durability of the Raven. It's still, easily, one of the strongest light mechs in the game.

The raven's legs are not too easy to hit, it's just the other hard points are too hard to hit, so we aim for the legs.

During the time the hitboxes were wonky, players learned to leg Ravens. Hitboxes still are a big advantage vs the Jenner's single huge CT (though they can lower their side torso armor somewhat).

For "historical reasons", Raven are more often shot at their legs.

When they've got sensible torso hitboxes? Spider hitboxes are weird, too, but Spiders cannot really load many weapons. Jenners can, and their CT is huge. "Balance" made by PGI. Working as intended ™.

Edit: Oh and I have enough XP on my 4X to master it, if I had the other two.

Missing your lag-shield?
I feel for you. I really do.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

NO.

[senaiboy]

Most of your deaths in a Raven are due to being legged, as it rightly should. All Mechwarriors were taught to aim for the Raven's prominent legs since the Craven era.

In fact, everyone should be aiming at all light mechs' legs, not just Ravens'.

I would feel worse for the OP

if mediums and 60 tonners werent oversized head to toe

since I pilot mediums and dragons\quicks

It is hard to sympathize

[Foxfire]

I'd have to agree that overall, the scaling of this game is off.

I also have to agree that compared to the other light mechs, the Raven feels overly easy to leg.

OP needs to learn the crane stance.

[AnnoyingCat]

really? i never noticed me legs falling off that much when i played with me ravens

[El Bandito]

Only reason Ravens are legged is because all other hitboxes are brokenly overpowered.
