I hate them. Too small. Too fast. When you hit them, it doesnt register for crap, cuz speed. They pack 6 small pulse (some do). Ugh. What a pain. No wonder theyre top dog lights.

You rang the bell and summoned the wise Locust. He says:

In all fairness, I share the OP's hate of the locust.. they are without a doubt, the most dangerous light in the game.. I don't think I've survived a locust 1 on 1, like ever...

Not that I didn't "git gud", I'm "gud" with heavier mechs, its only that weapons do truly seem to bounce off a locust, and it takes more hits and firepower than some heavy mechs..

So yeah..

Locust ARE OP if you ask me..

And just so you know.. saying "git gud" = "I'm a deuche", or better yet, "git gud" = "I'm a filthy surat"

[Y E O N N E]

If saying "git gud" makes one a filthy surat, saying "the Locust is OP" makes one something far worse...

[MadMaxMKII]

feels like fighting cheaters. i have no respect for such pilots, just an abuse of a lackluster system.

<shrug>

git gud.

I kill them all the time in other mechs, from other lights to assaults. They're small and they're fast, but they have almost no capacity to take hits and they do take hits. They're usable lights, no more than that (sadly that's quite a rarity in MWO these days).

[Sumdumbum]

Sadly, Locusts are usable for the wrong reasons. Not 'cuz skillz" or "its OP". Its usable because of terrible netcode, coupled with a far too small size.

[Y E O N N E]

I have never had a problem registering a hit on one.

I have, but no more than any other mech. <shrug>

Stats are public now via leaderboards. Makes it easy to quickly know how seriously to take complaints.

I love locusts. Piloting them's great.

However, I've seen a bunch of crazy hitscanning on them. Just like spiders way back in the day.

No.

They are 'usable' because the rescale boned all the other lights by making them as big as Mediums.

FS and ACs lose their arms very easily.

Jenners are a walking CT.

Commandos 'cant even'.

Most other lights are too slow.

Seriously if Locusts are so OP, go pilot them.

Then we hear people complain about being One-Shotted from dual Gauss 700m away...

FS9s just plain die easy. The STs are giant and easy to pop. ACHs do lose arms, but they're still one of the best lights (probably the best across the board), vs. the FS9, which is one of the worst.

The COM has quietly gotten quite decent, too.

Other than that, you're pretty much on.

Its funny about locust.

Shooting them with Laser, good luck.
Hitting them with a AC10 or an AC20, if you hit it, buh bye
Streaks, LMAO bye Locust in two volleys.


All lights need to be bigger. They arent suppose to be effective brawlers vs heavier mechs.

Hence the little guy's advice.

[Wildstreak]

If you think there is tons of 'hate' for Locusts, you have not looked around.
