You know, the time you round the corner, or pop over a ridge, and it's there. Staring at you with full health, ready to take you down.

We've all got one we totally hate facing more than anything, right?

Mine's gotta be Misery. I ****ing hate seeing this thing on the battlefield. Im not sure if it's stronger than a regular stalker, but it never, ever dies.

I always run away when i see Misery approaching >_>

I don't fear any particular mech, or load out, or variant. I do however have a healthy fear and respect for many of the pilots currently playing MWO.

Huh...yeah, not really. Maybe the 'phract just because of its propensity to carry those PPC/Gauss combos, but that's it.

Jenner. They aren't there to play ECM games, they're just there to buzz in circles, be hard to hit, and strip the armor off of you a little bit at a time one frustrating pass after another.

Atlas? Stalker? Hey, I've got no problems throwing down with a big boy. I just don't want to get killed by the mech equivalent to a yipping chihuahua.

Not "fear" but "cba to deal with this bullcrap": Spider.
Everytime I see one I immediately go away from it because I'm tired of seeing my weapons hit for little to no damage.

Spider ? screw that, I'm gonna hug that stalker or chase that jenner

Spiders. Mainly because even when I unload all my ammo on one, I can't scratch it...

Damn Centurions with broken hitboxes. I aim at the legs and scream "DIEEEE!!"

And Stalkers, because on 1:1 these can take a lot of beating...

Multiple spiders. One-on-one my current personal favourite Atlas build (I only pilot Atlases) is sufficient to either kill a single Spider or disuade all but the very best pilots from persisting in attacking me. If I face 2 Spiders my Atlas and I are almost certainly doomed.

I have no objection whatsoever to being taken down by a genuinely skilled light pilot - I salute them for having the bravery to career round the battlefield at that speed in something that small and flimsy.

I have quite a big objection to losing because none of my weapon hits are being registered.

Spiders because of God Shield, Atlas because they are so awesome when a good pilot is driving.

Stalkers because they're tanky and most of them have ludicrous amounts of firepower. Spider packs because one is annoying enough when it can take an AC20 to the face and walks it off like I just tickled it.

Cent.

Because if I engage them I will spend WAAAY too much time trying to bring him down... and if I run he's going to wear and tear at me.

I really don't fear any mech but I have respect for all light mechs only way to hit them is to be in a light mech and match there speed. But in anything heavier they just do the circle of death manuver and my slow arms and torso and crosshairs never hits them unless they get distracted. I always fall victim to a Jenner,Spider if I engage one in a Atlas. Can you imagine trying to torso twist in a Atlas where it's entire upperhalf weighs as much as a Hunchback it is disturbingly slow and insanly difficult to hit a light at close range.

I would say Spiders, but every light is a problem for me including Jenners, Ravens and Commandos. I personally consider the Cicada a light and therefore its also a problem.

When I hear the loud thack of an AC20, any mech that carries one is a big problem, whether its a DDC, Yen Lo Wang, AC40 Jager, K2, Cataphract, Misery or one of those HIghlanders or Victors that can field one (733C, 9B, 9S).

When i hear the dakka dakka of mutiple AC2, then the mech that carries it usually a Jager, is a problem.

When I heard the thack thack of repeating AC5s, it's a nasty Cataphract 4XAC5. That's also a big problem.

LRM Stalkers really annoy me.

PPC Stalkers really annoy me.

LLAS+SRM Stalkers really annoy me.

But PPC Stalker with AC20 or Gauss, aka Misery, worries me the most.

Among heavies, I have the most healthy respect for the Cataphract 3D.
