I like this mech, but could use a little love

Anyone have any suggestions? Missile reload buff, leg armor buff?

Decrease the size of the leg's hitboxes to about a half of what they are now? I don't think I've seen any mech apart from lights get legged as often as Quicklegged.

Yeah, lose my arms then always end up losing a leg or both of them. lose alot of legs on my summoner also

For starters, make it scaled appropriately for a mech with only 60 tons to spend on equipment, rather than assault mech sized.

That's a given, but since they'll never ever rescale mechs that are released we end up having to think of other ways except the obvious one to fix them.

Damage resistance to legs would be a good start.

It's not a bad mech but it takes damage VERY badly.

Leg armor buff 900000%
(and jumpjets, but they all need a buff there IMO)

[Deathlike]

Outside of rescaling, leg damage reduction would be optimal. Back when Quickdraws were "cool" (which is still "never" for some), the biggest problem they had were easy to hit legs due to JJs.

Considering the state of hoverjets, I still figure Quickdraws are still easy to leg, especially with the hitbox changes it got.

[Clydewinder]

Even a Quickdraw that is on the ground gets legged, jumpjets or not. When the LRM40 barrage comes in, a good 50% of the damage goes right to the legs because they are so friggin gigantic.

The Quickdraw is actually supposed to have better ankle actuators that let's it get through steep and rough terrain better. Essentially give it the hill climb module for free. Ignore the fact that it is also a vulnerable point on the mech. >.>

That's one mech that really should skip leg training day.
