Medium wubs get ghost heat before Christmas.

I think I can actually feel your terror from this end of the internet.

Honestly, this is pretty much the only positive aspect of the MPLs; you can abuse their alphas.

WubShee can work around it, though. Until they link every single laser in the game, rather than fixing the underlying issue.

Sadly probably true.

**** ghost heat.

I for one welcome the new SPL and SRM2 Meta.

TTK going through the floor. So much for mechs feeling like mechs. That's what happens when most buffs make weapons better.

My prediction: cooldown bonus related to AC5 will prove way too strong. In general cooldown will prove problematic, the other quirks are mostly fine.

I can't wait to stack the AC/5 cooldown quirk of the BNC-3E with my level 5 AC/5 cooldown module!

I still wont be mounting ac 5s on my 3E

[Bront]

With the quirks and new laser changes, we may actually see an SPL meta!

And ERSLs look brutal on the clan side now.

I agree there will be a broader variety of mechs! For how long though.. who knows.

gimme a reason to change 2 ac2 + 1 lbx10 with all the ammo stored inside the same torso (case safed) for 3 ac5 that has to store its ammo somewhere ****.
not gonna happen.

How about because AC2's and LBX10's are kinda crap weapons?

They'll be the launch stats, with one additional heat point.

So, useful.


We haven't had a SL meta in years! It's about time.

orly? why am i not noticing that then? must be because... they do a good combination? maybe... you just dont test out enough and follow what everyone says?
i even use a single ac2 on my cicada 3m and it killed several lights in times of terrible laser hitreg.
but might be just me... ya know....

Mediums can't be ignored now. Not with those high DPS weapons. Low alpha yes, but if you don't make them shut up they are bad news for your entire team.

Just spitballing, but, maybe you're playing at a level where a handful of mashed potatoes would be viable.

Why that? I am having pretty good results with mashed potatoes.

[Alienized]

if you count lots of downed lights as tomatoes then... yes it is viable.
