Worst Mech

It is acutally also the only mech in my rotation, with which i have a negative kill/death-ratio (i know it doesnt matter, i still have a positive win/loss-ratio with the summoner). But its a prove that the summoner is not a very good damagedealer...
I think it would be a hell of a mech, if you could change jump jets as you like! Done! Perfect!
It is also among the 3 best looking mechs of all. So, they should care it much more!

HEY!! Firebrand is GOOD. You just have to play to it's strength, which is that sweet sweet xl340 93kph engine and super high mounted, quirked, ppc's!
Also, Locust-3S is the worst mech hands down. 4 missiles (in a locust, ammo weapons are too heavy..) and a SINGLE energy hardpoint quirked for MEDIUM LASERS. Ok. So... 3 srm2's and a medium? and a half ton of ammo per srm2. 25 total shots of... 12 damage.. And then you have a 5 damage plinker.
...
ps. I suppose you can technically do more than 1.5 tons of ammo but even so. Srm's attract attention, which is the opposite of what you will EVER want in a locust, especially at close range.

Small engine cap (no speed) added horrible hard points and thin armour.
Walking death-trap!

Because with it's tiny little weak lame arm it has lost all of it's former glory and honor and is so sad now and cowers in shame.

I'm sorry but you my be under the influence. Certainly not the best mech, but no way is it the worst. You're suggesting it is a worse performer -objectively or subjectively- then say a Spider 5V? The loyalty Wolverine? The ballistic Panther?. 2 PPCs (with perhaps 4 small pulse for the short range) and a standard 300. Fairly plain and perhaps underpowered, but it is a serviceable and cheap build that is better than just about anything you can do in the mechs mentioned above. Alt: Drop in an XL and do a Rifleman build, or 2 AC5 and 6 ML, etc. Also the Firebrand looks cool.
Firebrand may be a poor person's Warhammer but it sure isn't the worst mech in the game...that honor IMHO goes to the loyalty Wolverine (never driven the Panther and I think the 5V is a great distraction).
My personal definition of a bad mech is one that I never desire to play again after I master it. The mech might be objectively okay on paper but subjectively I just didn't click (so yes I understand perhaps not liking certain mechs such as the Firebrand). As to the L-Wolverine, its worse than bad as it is the only mech I have yet played where I am constantly having to force myself into playing it at all. The hard points and quirks demand a terrible mix build that MASK adds nothing to. Optimum build is to turn it into a oversized Huggin. Since a Huggin already has the job of being a Huggin and the W-7K is a better oversized Huggin, this mech not only has no function but is unsuited to the function it can perform (big, comparatively slow). Thus, to me, it is the worst mech.

Meanwhile the Summoner can run Gauss + ERPPC with a shield torso, I've seen Spriggan absolutely crushing in that build. GMan lists it as T2.
GMan lists the Banshee-3M as T3... Id take his ratings with a pinch of salt.
Mind you, summoner is far from the worst mech in the game. Thats a commando or one of the non 5D spiders.

I am dead serious.
Having 230+ mech in hangar.
Almost all of them mastered.
Each one with unique build for any playstyle and tune.
And have to say, that EXE is The greatest disappointment and pain in the a$$ to pilot.
Big, bulky, low hardpoints, almost all of them are energy, laughable free tonnage and space for 95-tonner, slow and narrow torso\arms angles.
What could be worse?!
Every aspect of this mech in current customizing system is pathetic, laughable and awkward.
Gargoyle seemed to be godlike in the face of EXE.

The difference between lights and heavies is that heavies are suppose to be damage dealers while dealing damage for a light isnt traditionally their primary goal.

From a personal point of view... (you are going to laugh at me). Thunderbolts. I realize they are meta and powerful and all that. But i hated driving them from the first game and in the end sold them all without even unlocking all the basic efficiencies. I'd take a Vindy over a Tbolt every day of the week. And do triple the kills and the damage.

Yes, except dealing damage is the only actual goal in this game.

For the Zeus, it is not so bad. I run an xl 320, 2xLPL, Gauss and SSRM2X3 (for lights). I suck with SRMs or else I would run them. It really isnt too bad and is XL friendly. I have more success in the Zeus-6® bc i can shove 3xLPL with my gauss, but the L variant is at least usable. The wolverine on the other hand...

I'll add to this post by saying that I think the only thing that can be done with the loyalty Wolverine is to stuff a Gauss Rifle in it & call it a day.
I did the same thing with the Panther 10P as well.

Yeah I am going to have to give that a go. I don't own any other wolverines though, so it might be awhile. Thanks for the suggestion

As for the worst, from those that I have played I vote for Panther 10P. With CT missiles and no energy it is a joke if you want to play it seriously.
