I dislike WVRs, deal with it, "mate". Without tard level quirks they are nothing. With those quirks they become gimmickboats.

Same can be said of the HBK-4G, 4SP, the 4J, and Grid Iron.

Except they were solid before the Quickening, and none of them are gimmick boats after? With the exception of the 4P, which was always a boat by design, all HBKs and CN9s are mixed payloads.
Hunchback 4G was basicly obseleted by the shadowhawk and the Hunchback 4H.
Hunchback Grid iron was the Hunchback 4G with half the Hunchback 4J on it making it what would be the best hunchback in game before quirks (makes me wounder why the **** it has the strongest quirks post quirkening...).
Hunchback 4SP being the only Hunchie that can use an XL engine and effectively makes it essentually the best hunchie pre quirks.
Wolverine was agile and has similar zombie effects of the hunchback but better profile and jumpjets however doesn't having a motha' fookin cannon on it.
Wolverines can do mixed payloads quite well just many choose not to. -sips a cup of tea-
Personally I always wanted the Wolverine but it isn't on my ta-do list atm.. I am to busy debating if I should buy extra mad dogs/ hellbringers/ atlas/ direwolf / kitfox or start working more into the griffon/ centurion/ commando.
They got enough advantages to pull it out of the water and the missile-specific wolverine was out shinning the hunchback 4SP.
Personally I think all mechs in this game were good and had a place before quirks- the only problem is the variants had issues to shine amongst the others. As well as the meta getting in the way and lack of unique-ness amongst each variant.
I would really like the quirks on most mechs at 30% or less and some possible more dynamic use of positive and negative quirks. for eg you can make a mech very good at say AC 5 work... more velocity. more range... but it has a slight penalty to reload. minor trades like that to help the T1-3 mechs have the similar benefits of a quirked mech at T3-5 in terms of originality.
Not trying to force any opinions on anyone.But I feel that's slightly what is occurring above
