I want a Catapult, Blackjack and Hunchback hero

[wickwire]

Hunchie, Catapult, Blackjack, Quickdraw, in that order (yea I don't play Lights often, sorry)

[Amsro]

Quickdraw, Catapult, Trebuchet, Spider, Jenner!

I am VERY biased, these are chassis I play.

I just want a Hero BJ called the 69.

Call it Deepthroat

[Funkupotamous]

Where's my hero Raven? Let's have the first Raven with ECM and JJ's. My suggestion is two energy hardpoints per arm with the stock missile hardpoint in the torso. We can call it "Nevermore" and have the words "Quoth the Raven" on the back. Come on PGI, I'm basically writing you a blank check here

6MG spider

[Jetfire]

Spider: Missile variant, similar to X-5, mlas and ssrm2's
Jenner: Fast Jenner, higher top speed with speed cap removal, 4E arm slots, drops M CT HP
Hunchback: 2nd the B/M variant HammerSwarm
Blackjack: Mini Jager variant, B/M arms, E torso
Catapult: K-2 variant, JJ's, E arms, M torso's, B CT for 2x MG's

2 lights, 2 mediums and a heavy.

[The Mechromancer]

I want a MG based light!

Can't wait for the Piranha !

Here are my ideal heros:

Blackjack -
250 engine
jumpjets
1 ballistic 1 energy each arm
2 torso missiles

Quickdraw -
360 engine
1 ballistic each arm
other weapons don't care
jumpjets
smaller =/

If/when they make a hero Hunchback, I will buy it the day it comes out.

I won't. due to Elo it's a lot of time I'm not even employing either my IM or my AS7-D(F), because other chassis (Highlanders thanks to JJs) or variants (3D thanks to jj) are much better from a competitive pov.

So never again I'll buy any hero mech, it's wasted money, because some way PGI will manage to break your favourite builds or shift the metagame away from what should suit best a specific hero.

Oh and no, I deeply dislike the uber ballistic meta we have now, so trying to be different with the IM routes me everytime back to the 3D. I can't stand the movement nerf since its introduction, jjs are too useful.

[Alex Warden]

maybe... if there´s a decent catapult hero coming, i might consider... otherwise, i have the phoenix mechs, the protector and the ilja, that´s enough heroes for my needs.

i´ll absolutely wait for a bushwacker hero, if needed for the rest of my life xD

[HammerSwarm]

I updated the pole. Now you can pick which chassis you want first.

If you had previously voted and want to vote in both questions just delete your vote and you can vote again.

I'll Start

I would like to see the Murakumi (Cloud-Gatherer) piloted by Isoroku Kurita
This would be a refitted Hunchback 4N (the ballistics missile variant)

The mech would come as such:
Two color paint job Black base with a Red Dragon painted in Japanese Style wrapping around the mech. The black would be a flat color and the red dragon would be shiny giving it that pop factor.

Armor: 336 of 338
Engine: 225 STD cap of 275
Hardpoints(LA,LT,CT,H,RT,RA): 1E, 1B2M, NA, 1E, NA, 1E
Armament: 2ML, 1 SL, 1 AC5 (2 tons) 2 SRM4 (1 ton)
Special: 13 DHS, Case, Endosteel

I would buy that for 15 dollars.

I really really really want to see a HBK-4N, but not as an MC-only mech.

For every mech, the texture maps for weapons are attached to the mech's paintjobs.

If it's not the case, then there's absolutely no reason not to have included the BJ-2.

I'm not sure if there are any good 45T IS missile mechs around, but having missiles would make it a superior mech than the Kintaro. That is what it would be competing against.

From looking at the base stock specs, it would be a massively slower-KTO, but it would be JJ capable.. so that would make it superior to the Trebuchet (which isn't really great as a Streak platform) to a degree.

Although I'd kinda share in that idea, there is a problem.

If you consider how they have selected the mechs, they are all distinct in their own way... neither being that OP than the rest, even though there are preferences to which are better (4P is great, but the 4SP is normally seen at higher level play). The 4N would probably kill off the mechs that it merges the traits from.

The hardpoint #s look like this:
5E - head, LA, RA, RT(2)
1B - RT
2M - RT

It would effectively invalidate the 4H completely as a variant. The 4J still has a place (6 meds+2SSRM2s are solid in the current ghost heat economy, making the 4P look kinda silly). The only way to "fix this" for the 4H would be to add a some sort of energy or ballistic hardpoint in the RT...

Edit:
I just realized then you'd have to buff the 4G after buffing the 4H...

It's a whole can of worms that I'd rather not open up further.

Normally I'd agree, but the 4N only has 2 medium lasers, I believe. So make the loadout look more like 1 ballistic, 2 missile, 3 energy, or something along those lines. Not really all that OP, especially when you factor in the problems of trying to stuff a large ballistic, 2 srm6, and enough heatsinks to cool the lasers onto a 50 tonner.

I got the loadout from this:

It could be inaccurate, but at this hour I cannot tell.

Oh, you're right, I had it off. I was reading "has two" instead of "has two more than the 4g."

****. :[ I just want something with an AC10/20 and SRMs in a medium!
