Are You Happy The Light Mech Queue Is Dead?

Grievance and salt saturated dissidents attacking from a hidden base succeeding in killing off class I jump jets with their incessant complaining.
Fast forward time lapse. Grievance and salt saturated dissidents have succeeded in killing off the light mech queue with their incessant complaining.
Are people happy the complainer faction ruins things like jump jets and light mechs and make this game less fun?
What will they ruin next?

Personally, I can't pilot lights for ****. My Jenner performance is atrocious, the Urbanmech doesn't really count, and my attempt at playing the Locust...
Well, lets just say I didn't even Basic a single Locust, because I'm not so much of an ******* that I'll subject everyone else to... whatever the hell it is I'm doing when I I drop in it. I've, in fact, sworn off lights entirely, with the exception of the Urbanmech (OP) and maybe the occasional Jenner drop (But only in a party where I'll be playing support).

I've been saying for years that light mechs are weak, difficult and good for conquest only. A good assault pilot can nail a lights leg with 1 or 2 shots completely shutting down that mechs ability to fight.
I generally pilot DWFs and AS7s, if I'm in an Atlas I have a STD 300 and I bring counter measures for dealing with lights. Yes the twist speed is horrendous but they only need to be in my cross hairs a second before they've taken an AC20 to the leg or 4 isMPL or 2 isLPL or 3x SRM6s and often all at once.
Now in the right hands a light can be VERY deadly, I've seen the screen shots of a SDR 5V pilot doing 1000 damage but this isn't common. Even when the FS9 was released I said lights were weak, it has to do all its fighting at 120m and unless it is behind some one that isn't paying attention it doesn't have much chance of killing it for the average user. When the ACH came out I couldn't believe they reversed all the quirks, it was deadly enough to pose a threat and fast enough to ring around an Assault.
I've mastered SDRs, ACHs, LCTs, and MLXs, I own 10 lights after selling some recently that I didn't feel like I needed after the ACH came out. So I know how to pilot a light with some success but don't main them.
Doubling armor made Heavies incredible but did almost nothing for lights.
No recon or info role makes lights the last choice for the average pilot.
They all need armor and structure buffs, even the FS9 and the ACH, but the rest more so.
Every time a light poses a threat people complain incessantly about how broken it is and PGI listens regardless of how few light pilots there are.

I'm thinking the re-scale just weeded out people that needed crutches.

Soo we're done here right?

No, you primarily weeded out any potential for legitimate Light mechs from the pool.

Assuming potatoes, sure. Against good players? lol, good luck with that.

And with the low player base and longer wait times for matches..i figure 1 more bad patch ought to be the final nail in the coffin for this game.

Not to shame or anything, but... you've killed 26 mechs this season.
Assuming all of those are Kodiaks... carry the one... that's what, one Kodiak a week since release?

Mmm your understanding of game balance is quite impressive. I can't believe I even bothered arguing with you the other day.
Maybe if lights were nerfed so that they were balanced, the steam charts would show more players playing? /s

What longer wait times? I'm still getting the map selection screen within 10 seconds usually.
Also, do you think its a coincidence that the KDK has the highest leaderboard scores of any mech to date
What you're saying is like "I get 1000 damage games in the Trebuchet all the time...it's not a weak chassis. People just need to learn how to play them."

how about returning the victors and highlanders back to the poptart days there by fixing the kodiaks? also change hover jets back to JUMP jets?
kdk-3 vs vtr/hgn poptart which will be the meta?
