this is such a bad idea, will this mean also buffs for those already inferior too hot running clanmechs, or will this "balance" attemp just try to make clanners bring only the ballistic cheese builds even more?
think about it, which mechs get really hurt by these changes?
those with easily shot off ST's not something like the bear.
those with energies as main, not the bear.
If this this "nerf" or better said change does come with buffs, or other changes soem chassis will be penalsied like 3x as mucha s the current metacheese. which probably just gets that penalty at a multiplier of 1x. This does not help balane at all, all it does is imbalance the clanmechs amongst each other even more mostlikely forcing more clanners to go full cheese. Which then may hurt balance even more at the clan vs IS border in FW.
I doubt this is in any way turning out to do the balancing effect PGI thinks it does.
