ShadowCat was already super weak why nerf it? This is the first ever mechwarrior game to relegate the shadowcat to sniper that cant hold its own against any other mech. The Shadowcat was traditionally a Fast Striker Brawler with a few hardhitting sniper varients but in this game it cant go anywhere near a brawl and its sniper builds are paltry at best, why would you nerf it?

8 of 10 games a SHD was running and wasting peoples time, now its a little bit easier to leg the runners, fair enough its still hard to catch...

Yeah it confused me aswell, dunno why they thought it would be a good idea i'm pretty sure its not meta outside of scouting in FP

Not the Shadow Cat but any fast mech with ECM is "running".... Sometimes even without ECM.

Not sure how I feel about the overall structure de-quirking. The removal of the quirks on the B-LT was definitely needed though, turned that side into a powerhouse, ECM+Structure+Armour, there wasn't much incentive to take any other LT.

the shadow cat is my fav mech , done more then 7.000.000 XP with all cats together and ill tell
SCH can still make good job ,but yes the "LEGS" are too weak now even before the update the legs was weak
now 98% of the times when I die losing legs when jump jets for 3 times (with safe land) ,or when things getting a little hot.
I tell you that : I almost never seen SHC die when still having 2 legs.

before update SHC legs lost them 80% of the times but still he was a survivor ..
also add the XL nerf+streak heat nerf = mech become useless for me,

ill be happy if they just do something to the shc legs make them little better

Not meta in scouting either. Sniping is the only thing the SHC has ever done super well, and scouting is basically 'bring brawlers or die: the gamemode'.

They want to nerf the Shadow Cat at the same time they introduce the Bushwhacker which is way more survivable.

After all the time mastering the Shadow Cat I am almost lost for words.
This game isn't fun, it is frustrating.

Time to look for another game.
