Because Mad Dog.

It might make a pretty good SRM machine, but doesn't Clan SRMs have ghost heat Like IS SRMs?

If they do, I'd wait to see if "Mad Splats" really gain any traction out there.

Nah, C-SSRMs are bad already, it'll be a C-SRM nerf.

The SRM30 Stormcrow seems to handle alphas just fine, no reason to believe things will change markedly with SRM36...

It's sick with 6 SRM6s. but very hot.

[CygnusX7]

Looks like fun but it's tough getting up close.. at least for the first half of the match.
6 CSRM6's and 5 C-ERmL = 107 Alpha LuLz

I don't know man, those CSSRM6s have a 6 second cooldown and they still target random bones like IS SSRMs. At the speed a mad dog runs having 6 x CSSRM6 won't net you much. You'll hurt some mediums and the occasional unwary light, but the heavies and assaults on the other team aren't gonna be too impressed by your random targetting.

Even boating SRMs on the Mad Dog won't be that great. It's still a little slow compared to the Stormcrow, which is only 5 tons lighter. I'm thinking the best role for a Mad Dog is LRM support (as intended), which got a slight nerf in the screen shake because, after all, the Mad Dog can comfortably run this build.

Ahhh SSRMs, not SRMs...my bad, I read it too quick. Then it isn't a Mad Splat, it's a Mad Streak.

Still, it hast to be hot.

[MalodorousMonkey]

The DPS on the streaks is pretty low. Long cooldown for the SSRM6s. Don't think it should be much of a problem, but we'll see
