Returning Player, Is It Worth?

I lost interest but the recent changes to the skill tree have me intreagued, but I am so lost looking at the numbers. I haven't logged in yet but I'm curious how the game is doing now?
Do the skill trees bring back build diversity at all? I rarely played 'meta' for the last year of things and really like my lighter PPC sniper mechs, is this more or less viable with the current changes?

Just hop in and try it out yourself. Best way to know.

A bit more LRMS than normal, but diversified?
Not that I've seen. Same meta PPFLD from the clanners and mostly laser boating fro the IS is what I am seeing.
But to answer the OP's question: yes. It is worth giving it a try. If you are not keen n the changes, you can always walk away. New tech is coming in July so that is going to up end things even more. For good or ill, this is an interesting time to be playing the game.

C/AC2 is far more popular now thanks to cooldown and ammo skills. LBX is used more thanks to spread reduction skill.

I trust you. I just am not seeing it so far (admittedly I was on minimally last week and last night was my first extended session of play).

Keep in mind that everyone else also has slower rates of fire

However, the FedCom Civil War update is coming soon, and that would be a very good time to check it out again. For one thing, IS and Clan tech is a lot closer in that era (which really benefitted Battletech as a whole since it's not nearly as lopsided like the Clan Invasion.)

Come back, i stopped playing just after beta ended, the game was bad at the time.
I've been playing for 3-4 weeks, it is awesome now.
