How so? Both mechs being discussed are armed with medium lasers, so the range is the same. Both have JJs.

Jenner has 6 and an Ember has 4, so that's already a detriment.

Peeking is more of a function of the hardpoint locations. A Jenner doesn't have to expose much of itself to shoot off the medium lasers but an Ember has to expose a third of its upper torso.

The matches were okay. My biggest grip is the map sizes. For a competitive match, the maps should be at least 3 times bigger with unknown spawn points. Then lights will have to be deployed to find the enemy and real strategy can be used.

I wish some of the devs had competed in some of the old NBT competitive drops. Then they would know how shallow and limiting the maps are. I understand that large maps arent good for everyday pugging. But if they intend on having competitive matches, They should have MW4 size maps to give teams room to maneuver and allow the players to dictate the terms of engagement.

Most of the matches, the teams already knew where the enemy was within minutes of the start. And they knew what the the opposing team was trying to do after seeing their early movements. With maps this small, your options are very limited.

It sucks that I can only like this post once, so I'll quote it instead.
