I just want to highlight a couple of my Hero mechs that have questionable quirks.
Dragon-Flame: Laser Duration +10%
HUH? Why? The 4 low-slung arm mounts are just so OP they needed to be nerfed? I don't get this at all. Grrrr. If anything they should have added energy quirks, not nerfed them. Now my 4 ML are even more crappy, especially when they only hit rocks most of the time.
The AC20 quirks are ok, but I much prefer a Gauss in that location and the perks aren't enough to make me change my config. I'll take the increased range and velocity, though doubt I'll notice a 7.5% increase (2150 vs 2000).
So overall, my play in this mech has been nerfed. It's a DRAGON.
Jagermech Firebrand: Tier 2 vs. Tier 3
All other Jagers are Tier 3. I don't get this one either. There's nothing really special about the Firebrand to make it a higher Tier over the other Jagers. Sure it can take a bigger engine, but who does that? In fact, it's got reduced torso twist which makes it less desirable than a -DD or -S. I'm confounded.
