The data does not support this. Lights have a coefficient in Jarl's adjusted score calculation of 1.090671842, meaning that globally lights are under-performing as compared to assault mechs. This corresponds with my own observations as well, light mechs are just not that good. If you are having problems with them, I suggest either bringing fewer LRM's, or staying closer to the rest of your team. Or a combination of both. The only light that is REALLY dangerous is the Piranha, and those are definitely avoidable if you just stay with your team and be aware of enemy positions.

You're debating with someone who calls himself MummyPig, this will not end well
You are debating with someone I would and have gladly had at my side in many battles: we both know his limitations and skills and we both know I value him much higher than many "Top Percentile" players. He may not get the massive damage scores but he is a reliable ally and good pilot to have on your team for the very reason he has stated. We are not all armour farmers and cockpit takers
Oh and my names PUG, go ahead and tell me I'm not worth debating with

FP stats are 100% useless
Erm... yeah because the high skill ceiling in QP is waaaaaay up there, so high it beguiles us mere FP pilots with the intricacies of tactics and piloting ability....... Oh wait! No, no it really doesn't
EDIT
Just to clarify, I use the List to track my own stats but I also know I can farm the crap out of match score to significantly boost those very same stats. Bringing 3xAMS on a KFX and standing next to couple of big slow assaults netted a rather impressive 500+ match score.... with only 2x ERMLL fitted to my 'Mech.
The problem with any stat based system is that it can be "gamed" if all you are interested in is your position relative to others and not improving you're actual game play in relation to a normal match. In my opinion anyway
