My vote:

Posted Image

- Big as a barn.

- Totaly useless in FW

- Hardpoints make no sence at all

- Quirks are rather bad fo a terrible mech like this

- (maybe I'm biased because my favourite mech is the Awesome and the hero is terrible)

Your pick?

Nope. Been over this before. 2015 Loyalty Wolverine. Way worse than Pretty Baby, which can at least make a passable LRM boat.

OP said hero mechs, not every mech guys...

Kinda inclined to agree with Probably Not, the Roc is pretty lackluster, as the other variants do mostly everything better. It can pull off the faux gold mech pretty good tho.

OK...wait I didn't notice "hero" in the title, and though the L variants are hero-like with the c-bill bonus and all, they are not heros.

So I guess the Roc or the PB are as good as any for worst Hero's in the game.

Surprised no one mentioned the Yen lo wang. So ok it can zombie. Just takes a little longer to die and has it's "big" Gun exposed on an easily shot off arm. I would ponder the fact that is is the worst Hero because it was the first hero (If I am not mistaken). I actually bought the silly thing thinking "yeah hero mech, I am gonna rock with this baby!" But it has a very narrow window of usefulness and isn't even that good at what it does. Many other mediums can do it better. Just for example a griffin 2n can carry 4 ASRM 6's, jumps, and has ecm. Just saying

How about the Dragon Slayer? Specifically after the nerfs to the Victor and jump jets.

St. Ives Blue

It has all the problems that a Vindicator normally has, but on top of that, it can only mount one energy per arm. It's...pretty rough.

Buddy of mine used his Grid Iron a few rounds last night. Put a Guass and three medium lasers on it, actually worked very well for him.

with the cooldown and other laser quirks, the Pretty Baby is not the worst hero in the game. 2 LPL, and MPL does just fine.

Heavy Metal and La Malinche are great too

At least it's not 80 tons of fail.

If its built right, it can't zombie, and that's okay.

The only way to run the pretty baby is with TAG, 2 LL and 3 LRM10s

Rubberback/Roughback/Bareback whatever its name is.

- Anathema to the BT Universe and a pure money making scheme
- Self aggrandizement by the dev's
- Specifically designed to be a meta mech with all high mounts
- Canon was written in last minute rush job as a pay off a week before Mechcon - Proof of how they can actually meet a deadline. IF they wanted to, they can actually do something. But don't.

There's a case there, I admit...and it is the one IS hero I haven't mastered. Not spending my MC on it, even though I'm kindof curious.

Talk to Saint Scarlett Johan, I'm sure he can convince you to pick it up.

LOL I don't think there's any argument that the Pretty Baby is just the worst. The only way they could make it not be so is by giving it another energy mount somewhere so it could have 3 PPCs instead of being maxed at 2.
