Anyhow..... rank what are, in your opinion, the top 5 Hero Mechs in MWO, ATM.
Mine?
1) EMBER
2) Ilya MURDERMETZ
3) Yen Lo Wang
4) Protector
5) Misery
I was shocked by how little the hardpoints have done for me on the FireBrand (so while nothing wrong, just nothing the cbill versions don't seem to do just as well) and don't own a Heavy Metal, hence their missing from my list.
The Ilya, up til a month ago was the clear cut winner. It's still my damage leader. BUT.... the EMBER? Little chipmunk of death! I hate Light Mechs, but it drives more like a Medium. It's like a pint sized ShadowHawk on a Methamphetamine bing! A kneecap seeking buzzsaw of fury! I have never had more fun in this game than since I got my Ember. Now I fly around the battlefield gnawing legs off the fatties then moving on....I feel kinda like one of these guys......
heck it is so much fun I figure they are going have to NerfHammer it and ruin my party! *sigh*
