To summarize, from all mechs I own, I score the lowest with SHDs. So, it's not the player skill, it's the mech.
Comparing for example the Dragon-1N (total of 50% AC5 cooldown) to the SHD-5M, the SHD should have received at least 40% cooldown on AC5s. It has the same weapon hardpoints, is 5 tons lighter and therefore support less armor, however it's supporting jump jets (that are next to useless currently).
Currently it has 10% cooldown on UAC-5s ...
There was a time where jumpsniping allowed the SHD to perform out of it's class - though it was never on the level of a Cataphract or Victor. This time is long ago. Reevaluate it's tier. Now.
