I'd say the three biggest for me were:

1. Gargoyle
2. Enforcer
3. Myth Linx

[Narcissistic Martyr]

CRAB!

It had a 50/50 chance of being the next dragon or being the next stalker and it came up stalker. hooray

[Sarlic]

1. Orion
2. Atlas
(All i have, ha!)
Especially rocking the Orions.. I never expected them to like that much. On the live servers i just love kicking the scene with it. The thing is a beast as a semi brawler. And excellent mech for my mix/match taste of build variety.

A true mini Atlas and excellent choice for a dedicated Atlas pilot.

+1 for the Orion!

It's a baby Atlas so, as the Atlas king, it makes sense that you would do well with it

Add another vote for the Enforcer from me. I really did not expect much at all from them when RI was released. It turns out they're my favorite of the pack and my 3rd favorite mech overall. Was a very pleasant surprise.

You think the Gargles and Myst Lynx are awesome? Wow, I guess you must have a very low threshold for awesomeness.

Mine would be the Executioner. While I'm not sure I'd call it awesome, I was pretty convinced it would be terribad, but I actually did pretty well in it. My first 2 runs with it, unbasiced, I got 4 kills and 0 deaths. Never done that well in any other mech.

Linx with 4 small pulse and Gargoyle with 7 meds is pretty damn effective.

Why, the AWESOME of course! I built this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b5df1796527d819 to have a variety of energy weapons and for my love of PPCs. Given everything that's been said about Awesomes, and their barn door torso, I wasn't expecting much but it turns out this thing is a beast. Just stay at long range and pepper people with PPC and LL fire. There's enough armor that the giant torso doesn't matter as long as you can keep people from closing into their optimal ranges and, if they do close, all of the weapons still work plus the MPLs enter the mix. It definitely runs hot at close range but, you know, self control, and it's cooler than it looks on paper when you're not using the MPLs... Love this mech

No offense, but I'd almost rather scoop out my eyes with a melon baller than run a laser vomit assault to be effective. I'm glad you like it though, I sold off all mine except the (I) version.

[mikesierra]

Mine would be the Wolverine.

I've heard so many things about the new Variant,
so i wanted to test my luck with this 'mech.
After all i got it as a gift.
Did 70 battles with it and i must say that i ended up liking it.

[Lorian Sunrider]

Enforcer. After hearing so much crap about it when it came out I was worried. I love it though.

[Lucian Nostra]

Much as you I really enjoy the gargoyle, it has the right combo of speed, maneuvering and armor. While its weapon load is light its not lacking. 6 med pulse, 2lpl 4 meds and Gauss 4 meds are my builds.

Mist lynx is another fav while its super jump is no longer unique I still use and do well in them. Either 4 meds or 3 smalls 2 srm4

I told you would probably enjoy it.

[Piney II]

The Enforcer surprised me. Tough mech once skilled up.

[xengk]

Grasshopper
Tall with low hanging weapons, I thought they would be terrible laserboat.
Turns out be a pretty decent energy support and laserbrawler.
Now it is my favourite heavy mech.

Enforcer
Particularly the dual UAC5 variant.
Pack 2x UAC5, a backup ML, decent STD engine and all the ammo I can carry.
The hitbox on this is already good, and most people don't expect an Enforcer to continue fighting after loosing a side.
Made several comeback with half an Enforcer.

[Amsro]

Every mech I own, doesn't suck.

[Aethon]

1. Panther. I thought this thing would be a useless boondoggle, but it is one of the best lights I have ever used (I refuse to use Firestarters until they are properly balanced, so take that with a grain of salt).

2. Orion. When used properly, this is actually a great mech, especially as a brawler or mid-range mech. Protector lost its AC/20 quirk, though, which pissed me off.

3. Gargoyle. This mech can be pretty awesome when used properly.

[Burktross]

Panther
Enforcer
Locust
Orion
Battlemaster

[SaltBeef]

Adder I Guess after they fixed the legs. They are fun ! I want to do well in my knuckle dragging Gargles maybe now a mixed load out can be effective. Since Lasers are almost the same we should be able to reduce the engine and change Weapon tonnage.

[Lugh]

Dragon, Nova, Mad Dawg all come to mind.

Each when they debuted were poo poo'd as 'terrible' and yet when I used them the did just fine and heck sometimes even carry because they really Aren't as bad as people think they are...

[Xetelian]

PRETTY BABY

I find that I really enjoy an 80 tonner over my HGN and while I pilot AS7s most of the time, I switch back to my AWS every couple of matches.


Shadow Cat

I don't normally use LRMs because I love brawling but I tried them on the SHC and didn't do terrible.
