All in favor of nerfing or removing PPCs or stalkers vote yay, all in disfavor vote nay. Other mechs are also problematic but not to the extent that stalkers are, I feel compelled to say stalkers have thrown the game balance on it's head with their high tonnage and ridiculous capacity to boat everything in the universe all at the same time that is meta compliant.

I clicked No, and here's my reason.

Instead they should...
- Implement hardpoint sizes so PGI can have more control or limit the kinds of weapons a particular mech use.
- Get rid of instant convergence.
- Redo heat generation
- Implement reactive and reflective armor so players can defend against FOTM or certain metas, and will force players to bring loadouts with varying weapons. (Their back and forth balancing isn't going to do much if they don't start giving players different ways to defend their selves.)

If enough peple scram about the broken system then maybe they will...

I didn't vote because poll is confusing. Shouldn't I be able to choose PPC or Stalkers? :D

I'm not really seeing a whole lot of ppc stalkers, I mean you see 1 or 2 but I see more LRM boat stalkers usually. And my cicadas aren't really concerned with ppc anyway, AC-20s are much more of a threat.

Also, seriously voting no? What's up with not-very-smart people on this forum not realizing how awareness-raising and decision making works? Like, there are idiots here who are like "oh no, this poll isn't beaurocratically adhering to the language specific enough for a legally binding action, I better vote no or else PGI will really listen to this poll everyone voted yes on and really screw up!"

All I can say is the poll sucks. Stalkers are not the problem... they are simply the best mech for housing PPCs. PPCs unfortunately need the nerf.

Neither PPCs or Stalkers need to be "nerfed" —

Nothing in this game needs to be nerfed. Instead, the useless weapons need to be buffed so that they are not useless for their crit space and tonnage.

Fix convergence, and maybe put in some penalties for running hot, like your HUD going on the fritz making it harder to aim or something. I think PPCs are ok individually as they are now, but alpha-grouping large amounts of them is a problem.
