And on Paper IS mechs are superior in all categories that matter save total damage, which doesn't matter because they deliver their full damage and disappear before the clan mechs are done doing their full damage in return.
EXACTLY THIS
It is a PVP game, in PVP burst damage is king that is an indisputable fact. IS holds the monopoly on burst damage and have had it for a very long time. If you have a game where there are 2 sides that fight in PVP, you can't give one side a monopoly on burst damage or you will have not only a failure of a game but the majority of the population always on that side with the burst damage.
Now look at IS pop vs Clans in CW, the majority voted.
