Remember, this is the mentality that got us Lowlanders, Victorslugs, Ghost Heat, Gauss Charge up, Hoverjets, and Floaty PPCs.
This community has never wanted balance, it just wants whatever they don't use to be nerfed.
Exactly.
This community is full of myopic clowns who spend one year endlessly bitching about PPCs and PPFLD, telling people who use lasers they are scrubs because of the face time.
Then they spend the next year begging for PPCs to not be trash weapons without quirks, and for Lasers (which are now OP, meta-humping, no skill weapons) to be nerfed on a daily basis.
Basically they don't like things that kill them.
Some of them want to play frankenmechs with 4 different weapon systems that don't compliment each other at all.
Some of them want to just stand in the open spamming DPS weapons that can't scratch paint so they can feel powerful in their hard to kill robots.
But none of them seem to comprehend that one meta, will be replaced by another.
The next optimal set of loadouts and mechs that can run it will be solved, it will be run constantly by players whose goal is winning.
PGI will eventually catch on, take a full year to let it play and sell a bunch of mechs that run that loadout to capitalize (Grasshopper, Black Knight, Crab, Wolfhound, most of the clan wave 2 and 3 mechs).
Then, right around critical complaint level, they will nerf it.
Some of us remember when all energy Heavy & Assault mechs were considered garbage tier.
Most of these people do not.

No, players will either make it work - or shift to the next best thing.
Lasers will either continue to work and continue to be used, or they will be abandoned in favor of whatever works better.
I promise.
