I mean, if we want to KISS, let's just revert to no Clans. Problem solved!

Do you remember when streak 2s did that? There was a guy called GOD running around in a Catapult a1 jump jetting up above you and then headshotting you.
Back in 2012 or 2013

All of my astonishment on Artemis. In what magical realm did I get to put all my LRMs or even ATMs into a single component even WITH the upgrade and every spread reduction node in the Firepower tree?
SRMs, sure.

Heavy small lasers now have a longer cooldown than IS PPCs. Heavy medium and HLL's now are slower firing than Gauss rifles.
A laser that's slower than a Gauss rifle. A medium laser, at that.

Duh. It's the only thing that didn't get bent over the barrel without lube here.

2x AC/10, 2x HPPC (or 1x HPPC + 1x PPC), here I come! Should be a fairly decent counter to the big-arse Clan laser boats.

That moment when you calculate the DPS for the isERML and both types of IS Small Laser to be less than 1...

The 5 MPL wolfhound has great heat efficiency, especially if you use the variant that has -10% energy heat.
Fundamental issue with the wolfhound is that given its speed and hitboxes it doesnt need durability quirks at all. I mean, look at the wolfhound, then look at the cougar...the wolfhound is small and thin, the cougar is wide and fat.
The Cougar can also feasibly mount a 60 damage alpha from 450m away. Different role entirely so you are kind of comparing apples to oranges.

Edit: and if you mount it in your cockpit... then every time you are cored for needing to expose too much or you fire into a low rock infront of you... you can flick your eyes to the little with non sloping arms... and remember what arms in the artwork, that may have sold you on the mech, looked like.

Why do you always compare the best with the worst instead of the best with the best?

You'll be able to fire more consecutive alphas because you're being forced to cool down longer between them.

Yah... my Bumblebee got hit hard, I think. Not sure what to do... I guess switch from ASRM6x4+MLx4 to SRM4x4+MPLx4? That seems underwhelming, but at it feels like MLs are taking a huge bump down and SRM6As may not be worth the tonnage anymore.

Why does this feel like one of those huge nerfs that's not actually going to fix any problems (The problem here being massive laser alpha mechs that could probably use an extra second or two to cool down anyway)?
And why does it feel like I wont be playing my Jester much soon?

It also, due to the focus on those smaller lasers, pretty much ends up a near universal nerf to lights. Anyone using Artemis SRMs also gets nerfed. Heavy laser builds period become glacial in terms of delivering hits.

Because that's exactly what it is. IS laser builds have less range, less alpha, less DPS, and less sustained output when put into application. Solution? Nerf all the lasers so that there is no relative change! Wahoo!
