ALWAYS reminds me of a quote:

“Everybody Is A Genius. But If You Judge A Fish By Its Ability To Climb A Tree, It Will Spend Its Whole Life Thinking It’s Stupid.”-albert einstein

[Juodas Varnas]

Uhh...
Some fish CAN climb trees, though

[FupDup]

The problem is that MWO is a game where the objective is to climb trees, so the ability to swim in water isn't really useful.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

I keep trying to climb the trees but they splat under my feet...

[Khobai]

I still think the game would be more enjoyable with role warfare

we need both tree climbers AND swimmers.

not only should different mechs be better at different things but mechs that arnt good at something should be dependent on the mechs that are good at it. That promotes teamwork. Something this game needs more of.

The idea is that there should be more than one way to climb a tree, which there sort of is (different ways in which mechs go about trying to apply damage) which is what should be focused on encouraging.

Teamwork also comes from simply finding a group of like minded people and making or joining a unit and playing together as often as possible.

Thats great, thats not at all what im talking about. What im talking about is role warfare.

Im talking about heavy/assault mechs being dependent on light/medium mechs to get sensor locks to do full damage.

Teams being dependent on light/medium mechs to confuse/spoof enemy sensors with fake contacts and to help spot what enemy contacts are fake or real.

Assault mechs filling the command role with various command buffs. As well as other mechs filling the support role with consumable abilities, indirect fire, etc...

In other words... each weight class should have a role and every weight class should be dependent on other weight classes. Incorporating that type of interdependency into the game supercedes the kindve teamwork that youre talking about. It makes a mix of different roles/weight classes more effective than just spamming clan heavies for example.

and where the ppl making it have just as much vision as fish in Florida

And I tried to look for an example of this via Google but they only have pictures of crystal clear lakes... I wanna know where they are cause all the lakes where I live are about as clear as coffee

You ask too much. PGI can't even balance 2 mechs of the same weight class together, and you want some kind of interdependent relationship between the weight classes? No. Just pilot your heavy mech, or your 3 heavy + 1 filler CW deck, and be satisfied.
