Okay. Finally a thread I feel I can handle with an appropriate level of experience, lol. I made
this video last week hitting most of the oft-repeated complaints about the MLX-G. It's not a great video but I'm learning. TL;DW - the MLX-G is still a Mist Lynx, and not even the most durable one, so please stop complaining and learn the numerous, easy, and deadly counters for us. There is nothing OP about MGs or Lynxes or MGs on Lynxes.
This however...

The other issue is that the MLX-G isnt OP...its that the other MLX variants suck. 25 tonner with 2x missiles and 2x energy hardpoints is largely pointless. Really needs massive weapon quirks. Mist lynx was ignored till the G variant came out because they didnt have enough firepower. - Jun Watarase
...is 100% accurate.
Here's a peek into our minds, if it helps: While many pilots are reading up on the Meta and using Smurphy's, we're practicing at the Bolshoi and memorizing Sun Tzu. We're not interested in what we
should be doing as a Light using vanilla all-purpose tactics, we're focused on what we
can do as Mist Lynx with our jump jets, size, agility, and reputation. We love it when your Alpha Lance flanks our team - it means you're unprotected and just waiting to be ripped apart. Your screams will pull your Alpha Lance back quicker than our bullets ever would so we'll leave your legged, half-dead smoking corpse-mech behind to explain through salty tears what happened when they arrive... by which time we'll be back with our buddies coordinating a push now that you're all embarrassed and emotional. You think we're only interested in your rear torso? Think again - we want your weapons, your ammo, your armor, your attention. We want you to back up against a wall and think you've outwitted us because it means you're off the frontline and then we'll run off for a couple seconds - long enough for you to leave that wall and feel smug - and then get right back in your grill. We love to die amidst Red's Charlies because that's our life's ambition - to bring shame upon you for your terrible accuracy that a such a tiny little dancer could take your thirty seconds of combined effort to finally bring down. Oh, we'll work with our team - we're no lone wolves - and coordination is really helpful. It's why we have this Clan Active Probe bolted into our chassis to the point of being structurally integral and it's great for scouting and marking targets. Yet our greatest contribution to our team's victory isn't our weapons or speed or DPS. It's the Truth. The Truth that you think we're easy kills and useless without our arms means we're going to squirrel your greedy pilots and jump and twist and catch all your LRMs with our one-legged cherry CT because every time you put us under your reticule it means we have Eleven Bigger Friends just chomping at the bit to show you how that's a Bad Idea. Meta says that we're supposed to wait until your components are open and you laugh because you have all your armor and we run right up on your freshly-painted Compensating-For-Something and spill a thousand rounds of machine gun fire and volleys of lasers into your leg and then fly away over your head because you need to learn the Truth that armor that doesn't
move doesn't
work for long. Every single thing we do someone else can do better... but we're not doing
single things. We're jumping and shooting and running and sniping and spotting and spinning and squirreling and dying and winning
all at the same time. Our greatest strength is the Red's greatest weakness - that they embrace life. Koshi means Small Death.
We're not Overpowered, we're Unexpected.
