Most Anti-Meta-Mech?

I'd assume a mixture of flamers and LRMs would be promising.
Or maybe just running a stock mech? Or an Inner Sphere light?
Or a scout mech (Active probe, TAG, NARC)? Any other ideas?
Note - The builds should still be efficient (i.e. not a troll build)!
We should only be discussing legitimate builds that are mistreated by the current meta.

i don't get what the OP means though. if the build is good then it's good, meta or not. and if it's bad then it's bad.
by anti meta i guess you mean the least suspected mechs of being good?
my pick is awesome 9m right now.
with 2er ppc and 1 ppc, and medpulses
however it doesn't "suffer from current meta"
it's just not very popular.

If all weapons were as effective as they are in the boardgame... what mech configuration suffers the most for it being MWO?

It actually works decently, but it is "anti-meta" for several reasons:
- Awesomes are not meta. They are better post rescale, but they still aren't super tough or equipped with lots of high-mounted energy hardpoints
- PPC's are not meta. Laser vomit still generally beats out PPC's for large energy weapons.

Im not sure why you say PPCs are not meta? According to the tourney vids I see from anyone relevant, kdk-3s are running dual guass and dual ppc...
So if you are running multiple PPCs, then you are definatelly running meta.
(While PPCs might not be popular across all weight classes; that doesnt mean its not meta, especially in the assault class). There are 3 weapon systems i see quite often in the assault class. LPL, guass and ppc.

Nobody said that. Read the thread titel and the opening post, that why i felt the need to point out the two most common builds (which happen to be the current meta for most mechs).
Victor doesn't work as a "non-meta" mech. Hench, "victor, any built" isn't fitting if you keep the "Note - The builds should still be efficient (i.e. not a troll build)! " in mind.

if you want to put something proper into a victor. than at least something non-meta as it is meant to be. not *fit meta into non-meta!*
put ac20, 2 mlas, 2 srm6 + artemis into it. a classical brawler.
XL350. 4 JJ's.
there you got a proper meta-stomper that is purely non meta.

AC20 + SRM is soooo not meta for brawler?

What? By putting what you calll "a meta load out" on a Victor renders it a "meta" mech in your view? I don't think so. There is NOTHING meta about a Victor as it currently exists in this game, regardless of its build Making something as efficient as possible despite its limitations does not make it meta.
