Why can't I read a fistful of threads without seeing the same few people bawling their eyes out about how bad their preferred faction is? Seems like every thread that you can shoehorn some complaining about balance into must have it shoehorned in! From both sides, to boot, from both IS and Clans. And I just can't wrap my head around it!
Why can't I wrap my head around it? Well, take a look at the current Tier Lists on MetaMechs that rate both IS and Clan 'Mechs, the Meta Tier List and the Competitive Tier List. See that? Mixed. IS and Clans 'Mechs all over the place, not even much of a discernible pattern there. IS has its Black Knights but it also has its Vindicators and Clans have their Timberwolves but they also have their Mist Lynx. Oh, and I know there's going to be a bunch of people looking down on me for putting that much stake into one individual's impression of 'Mech balance, but I've got far more faith in that than the "arguments" brought forth by the few individual QQing fanboys.
I realize the majority of people who frequent these boards aren't acting like that. But FFS, couldn't we just start to discuss, start to work on individual 'Mech balance because, as it stands, it absolutely does not seem like either faction has the clear upper hand across the board.
Phew. Got some drama in here, didn't I?
