I'm pretty sure running it with an AC/2 + 2xSRM2 on chain fire and 2xSPL will be really annoying when you circle one assault left alone ha ha ha !
The sound of the AC/2 and SRM 2 in the ennemy cockpit. Priceless.
But well, it's not very competitive ! But will be funzy.
The mech will have crazy quirks, i hope.

Yeah or make it an uninspiring ppc poptart.
I'll get the Assassin but probably not the hero. With the special variant giving a Cbill boost there's no reason to get the hero in this state.

Masc? Give all Assassins an extra HP? (Making it 6 instead of 5)

Make it worse people will scream its worthless and waste of resources to even put in the game!
Umm, most heroes of IS and Clan sides have been on average... well slightly below average to good. No terrible and no great ones. Again its VERY subjective from pilot to pilot. Which mech class they prefer and if that certain variant/ config is something for them.
All have been at worst/ best pay to OPTIMIZE for the Clan side and okay to useful on IS side imo.

That one lonely ballistic hardpoint is not especially useful - you can either use it for one MG (useless; MGs start make sense since at least three or four guns) or one AC (Class 5 or Class 2 probably). You can use AC-2 to annoy people, but the fact is that you pay 6 tons for negligible damage output. AC-5 is slightly better, but it weighs 8 tons (and UAC-5 9 tons). There are good reasons why practically nobody uses stock CDA-3M Cicada.
So one solution would be adding one or two energy hardpoints to turn it into jumping Cicada X-5 with ECM. Would it be a power creep? Maybe. But since everyone can buy the Hankyu, Jenner IIC and the Shadow Cat with the Dragonfly for C-Bills, I don't consider it a big problem. After all, this "DarkDeath" would still have to pay for the ECM advantage with the fragile IS XL engine (plus fragile arms probably).
Or maybe add one or two missile hardpoints? Something as ASN-21 with ECM?

It should allow the crazy AC/20 build, but let's be honest : on dat chassis it will be too slow !
Likely, but at least it will be possible and the hero would offer something unique instead of being a crappier version of the 27.
