Greetings MechWarriors. Today I have a simple question. How can we fix the overpowered Machine Guns? I feel like the recent changes have swung them too far in the wrong direction.

One day, while piloting my otherwise invulnerable Kodiak, a Spider snuck up on me, presumably glitching through the walls as I am a master pilot and would never leave my back exposed to the enemy, ever, and he cut through the whole [Redacted] amount of armor I allocated to the back CT!

I was dead in 30 seconds! The 6 MG Spider is far too devastatingly effective and must be nerfed immediately! Please, PGI, fix this! Posted Image

Do any of my fellow ForumWarriors have similar experiences they wish to share?

Joking? Good man! I'm quite serious! Machine Guns are far too deadly in the hands of Spiders and must be nerfed! Surely, you cannot blame me for exposing my back, can you? No. Every good Assault Pilot knows to facetank the enemy for best results!

Yes. An oversight by PGI.

I will not! This is a *serious* matter that must be handled immediately! I shall tweet to Russ personally about this if I must!

(Psst... I'm joking. Please don't take this thread serious. Have a good laugh, invent your OWN story of what MGs or LRMs are "devastatingly effective")

First some joker tries to get my bottom tier, not even sniffing the meta game, IV-4s, nerfed. Now Spiders and Machine guns? Next I suppose it will be the loyalty Wolverine and maybe the Cataphract.

God damn it, leave my crap mechs and my crap weapons alone. Its christmas for christ's sake. Have a llittle mercy you meta whoring jack holes. Can a terribad not have something to enjoy in this game?! Anything?

You know that people that legitimately think MGs are OP will show up. They always do. And then our Balance Overlord and his new minion will only listen to them. This sort of thing has happened before. So stop it.

You re-used that image within I believe a 2 month span, when "bait" images are one of the most diverse and plentiful images. Mediocre.

I just bought Scats, for the purpose of boating MGs. Would be pretty sad if PGI nerfs them.

How is it any different than the campaign you were a part of to make them OP in the first place. People screaming and hollering to increase mg damage when before the patch it was fine the way it was.
