I see dead lights, many dead lights, lol.

[TercieI]

Already a weak class, one of their few advantages trampled. Awful.

No Commando?

Well, I guess we know where PGI stands:

"Lights OP #PGIPLZ NERF"

[Yellonet]

Looks good.

[Blissful Negligence]

Wait - lights got bigger? Why would you do that? So NOBODY EVER plays them?

[process]

The next few weeks will be very interesting to say the least.

[CycKath]

Well, that's an eye opener.

Anybody want to buy a light 'Mech say Stinger and Wasp Mech Pack now assuming this scale for 20 tonners?

[-Natural Selection-]

100%of light drops will be locust. RIP other IS lights.

Yup! I mean, I'm always one to scream about how hard it is to hit some of those 35t lights, but this is a bit over the top. Time will tell, though - I already can't reliably hit an old-sized Ice Ferret at full speed

[KillerTKE]

The raven (thankfully) got barely touched, but the wolfhound? I just started leveling those... It's gonna be like Goldeneye (Baron Samedi)...Panther also got some abuse.probably more.

Really? I see unplayed lights, many unplayed lights.

[Ovion]

Wow....

I initially checked the Locust - that's good.

Then checking the rest, my brain said 'oh, this is good, all of them got a little smaller'.
Then I realised.

O_o
WTF.

Some of these are HUGE now.
The Panther / Firestarter / Wolfhound are Medium Mech sized!
The Spider shouldn't have got bigger (looks about right in 'original'.)
Eesh.
Apart from the Kit Fox, Dire Wolf and a couple of others not crouching more (so still seem to be 'on tippy toes'), so far it looks pretty good overall... apart from IS 35 tonners and the spider.

Oof...
Poor Jenner took a hit. And wolfhound... I'm expecting a lot of extra mobility quirks...

I'm hoping that PGI works on that speed cap... That's really all that's going to save some light mechs. Quirks might help.

But I like that the firestarter is larger.

Looks like they had to add a few bits on some mechs to take up volume so they didn't get too big.

Overall it's looking a lot more balanced and equal. Which actually could be very bad. LOL. But there's ways around it. I hope.
