Seriously PGI... seriously? I NEVER speak out against you in the forums but SERIOUSLY?????

I am laughing so hard right now. They took the most well-rounded mech in the game, the one that can perform pretty much ANY role you want to it in a pinch, and they just slapped on a FoTM build for newbies to use. The lulz.


For extra hilarity, I think they should replace all trial mechs with PPC + AC poptarts. The fallout would be so epic.

I still like the fact that it says May 20th update

This is ABSURD!!! How many people are calling for NERFS to this EXACT build??? This is SO incredibly short sighted... my god... I literally cannot believe they did this...

From patch notes:

"...dual AC/5's and a Particle Projection Cannon to offer you a bit more distance. This one is sure to help any new player get to the top of the pecking order."

It's almost as if PGI is trolling the forum going community there...

Also, they really should have used an ERPPC, because that's the only energy weapon on the build. If they're gonna meta, they should at least do it right!

HOLD ON WAIT **** HOW DARE WE GIVE NEW PLAYERS A USEFUL MECH ON PAR WITH CUSTOMIZED ONES!

Also....only champion mech like this...there is already SRM ones and SSRM ones and Lasers and Gauss and LBX's and everything. So wrong to give different choices instead of just ******** on new players with XL LRM Stalkers????

I really don't understand why they would do this. I know thaat in order for new players to not get curb-stomped they need to put them in mechs that compete, but this is insane. I've shelved my Shadowhawks because I don't want to use Meta builds on them. The only Meta build I even use is my Protector, and it doesn't jump. OK, maybe my K-2 once in awhile.

All trial mechs have been very serviceable for some time now, being the well-equipped (C) versions.

If you're asking for nerfs to a Shadowhawk running this... well.

If a new player tries to use this mech, they are probably going to have a bad day.

Thanks, Blast... needed that.

Seriously though. This mech exhibits EVERYTHING that is current wrong with MWO right now. By creating this mech they are basically saying they condone the mechanics. I fear for further balancing.

PS: the hero mech only has 2 JJs...

Also, I'm not calling for nerfs to the Shad.... I'm calling for balance changes to FLD like burst fire ACs, arcing PPCs, and something more to tone down firing while jumping.

Oh no! The sky is falling!

Putting new players in poptarts will make them pros over night.

The rest mostly are just OK. There's a few good ones though.

Ahhhh. That feels better. No more of this freebirth, fluid exchanging hogwash. I'm trueborn once more! (Without a clanpack. August is a while away... but I can wait. )
