I think it's pretty clear, some mechs became a little better then they ought to have, and others are still lagging behind a few clear-cut examples.

The DRG-1N and FS9-A got a little more love then they needed. The Dragon 1N can pump out those two ac5's, just as fast as a direwolf can pump out 6. They have the same DPS. Either of these mechs with a decent pilot can come close to, or over 1000 damage per round. They are simply some of the most dangerous opponents, and highest priority targets on the battlefield. The FS9-A Vs. any other light mech in a brawl is a no-contest. These two, are probably the best I.S. mechs on the battlefield.

Being 'toned down a little' means a couple of % points off the quirks in my opinion, but PGI seems to have some sort of obsession with HUGE-changes-rarely, rather then the much-more-logical small-changes-often.

The Victors stopped being a tier 1 mech a LONG time ago, there are only reasons it was ever good: More maneuverable and faster then the other assaults, and it was one of the best pop-tarts.

Pop-tarts are (almost) a thing of the past. They got nerfed into obscurity. The Victor could use some quirks.

I find these to be the most glaring issues, but on a smaller scale I'd also say:

Buff the Atlas, it's completely out-classed by the DireWolf.
The Cicada 3C and Locust 1V got a similar 'style' of buff, the one-gun-wonder-sniper. I've played both and those they feel great when I pilot them, when the match is over I'm always expecting my score to be higher then it is. It seems like they aren't doing the damage they ought to.

Altas is fine. Both in my d and dc i have multiple dire wolf kills. Also the 3c has a couple of rather nasty other builds if you ignore the tweeks
