New Heroes Hardpoints Adjusted, Why Not Older Heroes?

If you are struggling for where to start, i can offer two words.
Pretty
Baby.
At least this mech needs attention, PGI. You've shown you'll adjust other heroes, so please revisit this and the other older heroes.

Heck, expand this to standard mechs too. The Spider 5V, for instance.

Yes, they should definitely give 'remodel the bad models' a try. Shorten the gorilla arms. Make torso mounts torso mounts and not belly-guns and hip-mounts.
For heaven's sake, allow us to choose which slot a weapon goes in! As opposed to this ring-around-the-rosey of trying different weapons in different combos to try and get your primary weapon in the highest mount.
Note: this applies to all less-advantaged mech designs, not just heroes. And no, I'm not suggesting every mech should have high mounts and cherry-picked designs; but yes, do use model re-works to benefit some of the disadvantaged mechs, and possibly to tone down some of the 'all high mounts poptart/hillhump' specials.

So much this. I would actually mount PPCs on my Banshees if I didn't need 3 in 1 torso to get them above the hips.

I'm kinda afraid of them trying to remodel older mechs. They remodeled the Catapult for the rescale and I don't think the new model looks as good as the old one.
It is still a better mech for it though. I mean yeah a mech looking cool is neat but lets face it, when your playing your looking out of the cockpit, not at the mech your playing.

Because some people might be pissed if the mech they already bought got altered? A few like the Pretty Baby could use it, no doubt... but there will be plenty of people on almost any chassis who don't want them changed.... And really no one who owns an older one has room to complain... those were the hardpoints when you chose to buy it.

Except this is the original YLW, which didn't have any energy in the LA. But don't let facts get in the way.

Hardpoint inflation is a thing that exists in this game. There is no reason this mech should be locked into one single usable loadout that requires quirks to be at all viable. As I've said to you before when this has come up: if you don't like having an energy hardpoint in the left arm, don't use it! Won't affect your build in the slightest.

Actually that's not true. They do it all the time.

Indeed. TBR, NVA, ACH, and others lost quirks...all on chassis that had been paid for by early adopters.

I suppose. But anyone gets in their head that for the sake of balance something needs less hard points, it may happen.
Still, it would be nice for some mechs to get more hard points.

You mean like every other "NERF KDK-3!!!" post that says it just need to lose 2B? Yeah, that could be an issue

Who knows.. Pretty Baby might be somewhat useful with 2MRM40/2HPPC.. (No, it won't because the hardpoints are way too far apart.. but that's probably what PGI is waiting to see..)
