Fact is in most battles everyone's going for the 12 kill win, in a light your the least armoured and have the least weapons on the board, stand still in the wrong place for more then a second every enemy on the field locks you , you die.
Lose a leg the only thing you have going for you disappears you die.
Try to kill a enemy almost everything is bigger or on the same footing as you means they usually need to hit you a lot less to kill you then you need to hit them.
This is just a few of my thoughts though , I just don't like lights all I personally see them as good for is ecm and getting locks. And honestly I suspect ecm will be largely toned down soon.
