My prediction:

"Due to the tier 5 potatoes complaining about Clan mechs, we have come to a conclusion that should make everyone happy:

All clan mechs will now start each match missing a side torso, randomly selected by the matchmaker, they will also be missing a leg because the agility nerfs that made them absurdly slow are not enough to keep better pilots from killing scrubs, and they can also use only half their weapon hardpoints.

In the interest of being fair, we are also nerfing all light mechs, because why not? Nobody plays those anyway.

The last adjustment is that we felt that the IS needed another buff, so we upped base agility on all IS mechs by 500% (except lights, we hate those mechs...especially the Mist Lynx).

On a side note, IS tonnage is now 400 in Faction Warfare, and nobody expects the clans to show up because why the **** would they drive mechs nerfed that hard? Maybe now tier 5 scrubs can beat tier 1 mercs in Tukayyid where we gather most of our balance data."

Inner Sphere to Clan balance in Win / Loss ratios between 'Mechs is the closest it has ever been within the game. With a global average performance difference of 6% between the factions. With the widest individual performance difference between 'Mech chassis' being 8%. While these numbers are the best that I have observed while part of the team, we are still of the opinion that these can be improved further. More on that below.

Chris is happy with this IS nerfs on the last patch. Clans have been OP for years i see no reason they would do anything to change this.

Don't worry Clan easy mode is here to stay.

Clans have not always been OP. There were several times the IS was much stronger. Do you have that much short term memory loss that you forgot the nearly year long period where IS was dominant?

Clans are not easy mode now.

The post was mostly written as satire anyway...in case you somehow also missed that.

I swear every patch the lights,all of them, get a nerf. It's like their number one requirement before a patch goes out. As if making them bigger wasn't bad enough that they are almost as big as a lot of mediums and heavies.

Boss: Make sure that the lights get nerf except for the ach. I love that clan mech. They have to have only one good light mech.

PGI worker: It is the first thing on my list and I made a script to auto-write it into every patch.

Boss: Make sure they are nerfed. I'll take half your paycheck if that nerf isn't done and the forums don't explode with light op threads.

PGI worker: But...i'm an Intern...I don't get paid...

Boss: Dam straight you don't. now get to work on more light mech nerfs for the next patch.

PGI worker: My script? Oh **** it...all lights now get half armor and laser duration plus twenty seconds...i'll make sure no one ever uses a light again...time for some beer.

Any yet over and over and over again I see Light Mechs topping the damage charts. I know, they must all be hacking.

The clam desperation has now peaked it seems. Clam high command has dispatched the OG deluded apologist to fight a rear guard action.

Player character Clan tech in a video game is over. MWO will be the final hold out for the easy moders who desire to club baby seals.

But go ahead stay on that easy mode teat as long as possible.

I know, right? It's hard to tell sometimes where the Gyrok of it all begins and the satire ends.
