A new idea!

Clans no longer have 'mechs, instead they only have twelve suits of Elemental armor for each drop.

Finally, something that would make IS and Clan even. +1

Seriously tho.... When is PGI going to NERF Clan? It's kinda ridiculous how OP clan is.

[Jae Hyun Nakamura]

Omg Clams are so OP, i still cannot use my Quirks on Uberpowerbolt for onebutton instawin.

Hey PGI,

Plsplspls...nerf CLAMS into oblivion and delete them from all players accounts without refund. Bring game back to 3025 and all mechs back to stock loadouts.

If you not do this we definately are DOOOOOOOOMEEEEE:D!!!

I really don't think this helps with this discourse intended for the greater good of the MWO community. Would you please refrain from posting these sorts of attacks and instead work with us in finding a solution to the issue of clans being somewhat OP.

[Illuzian Pryde]

Honestly cannot tell if OP is serious or actually trolling... Can tell everything thinks the OP is trolling.

Clans are not presently OP, we are glass cannons. Blackjack Balance is quite good.

Sry

New Idea!

Take away all the legs from Clanmechs and let them spawn as turret gates. This would compensate for the last mobility nerf, but only with a general +30% to IS mobility quirks.

[Khobai]

clan mechs shouldnt have legs

and IS mechs shouldnt have arms

asymmetrical balance

Update: Golly I try to star a reasonable discussion and all that appear are crying clanners. I'm never creating a discussion thread again! Here is a song that describes the clans right now!

No you didn't, lets not tell porkies, now. You know exactly what you did and probably felt super duper smug the whole time.

OMG... he's actually serious.

fun stuff

U forgot to mention "c-XL OP!!!!"


Even if clanners must kill BJ (and a lot of other armor/structure uberquirked mechs) twice if you want to kill it for real.

Good lord. Another one. Trolls gotta troll I suppose.

In the spirit of the original post, here is how you "nerf" the "overpowered" clans for the sake of better balance:

Give the clans a bit better heat efficiency.
Give a few of their mechs a slight structure quirk (ebon for sure).
While your at it, make the tonnage the same for both sides in CW and drop it overall to 225-230.

Sorry I can't keep up with the sarcasm.

The clans are not OP. We as a game are close to balance, but clearly the IS is favored as a whole right now.

Yes the top "meta" mech for each class is still clan (cheetah, stormcrow, timber, dire), but I for one think that any clan mech of a given weight ought to be just a bit (I said "a bit") more powerful than their IS counterpart. I think right now, in terms of the aforementioned top mechs, we are in an appropriate spot (timber vs marauder...timber still wins most of the time but the marauder is going to make the timber pay for it and might just pull out a victory; cheetah vs. fire starter...okay the stormcrow is OP compared to any 55 ton IS mech, but that is okay there should be stand outs on both sides). The other mechs are a lot more of mixed bag, with some classes being pretty close (T-bolt vs hellbringer); and others favoring one side or the other (BJ vs Ice ferret, advantage: IS Direwolf vs Atlas, advantage Clan...even with the massive atlas structure buff).

The point is, is that the clans and IS are as close as they have ever been. Clans need a bit more love in the current non-meta mechs but that's about it. Asserting that the Clans are OP...now of all times...is a Camus level of absurdism.

That's all clan mechs should be able to do to balance things out.

[MerryIguana]

Nice pity party you got going here.

Its ok though, i brought funyuns!!

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

This is the most underpowered clans ive ever seen in a MW game.

Both sides arent meant to be even.

I dont want this to be total annihilation with first person view -.-
