Destroy the current meta? Why do you seek to destroy the current meta?

What i am proposing is only a solution to what i understood to be a problem -- that pinpoint aim resulting in reduced TTK, needing doubled armor value, etc.

Sometimes it goes stale when it's overused, even if effective, basically the meta.

Psst! I think you missed the sarcasm.

Oh, hmm. I see. Sorry about that, i am literally like Sheldon Cooper, but without the high-IQ, the job, and the girl friend.

You don't need to mess with convergence you just need to introduce reticle shake for more than just jump jets. Going faster than walking, high heat, and jump jets should all add additional incremental reticle shake. So if you are running with high heat you would have a tough time precisely hitting a mech from far away.

I wonder how much it would help. Would the meta just move single side torso weapons groups like grasshopper / hellbringer and other mechs would just be nerfed?

It always sounded like a good idea but I'm not sure.

Meta will shift, but so what? Meta had always shifted; new and old flavor mechs came and went. Fixed torsi convergence, in addition to shifting the meta, will actually bring in immersion, something that I want for MWO.

And I'm 100% sure that TTK will increase due to such a change, which is a bonus.
