Panthers and Enforcers are temporarily skewing the light and medium queues a bit higher than they would "normally" be when no mechs are being released. The Zeus and Basshopper will spike it right back up where we've come to expect it to be...

Saw the assault queue drop to 9% yesterday. Had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Also, some people like me are probably earning EXP for the Ravens and Adders the last two events gave out, inflating the light queue.

It looks roughly like that since I started in December 2014.
Heavies are between 25-60%, rest varies.

Outside a few exceptions, assault mechs can not participate in the laser vomit party, at least, they do not do it well enough to push a heavy chassis off the list. Our assaults are mostly geared to mixed loadouts, heavy ballistic weapons like AC20, SRM's, etc.

If you are just going to run some MPL and a LPL, there is no point in running anything over 75 tons, minus a few exceptional mechs. Assaults sacrifice too much speed for the armor when you are just toting light laser weapons and you run out of DHS crit space anyway before tonnage.

When ballistic HSR etc get onto the same level as laser HSR, the balance will change again.
