I had good luck with 8 AC2 Direwhale vs them, as well as Scorch with double LBx20 and SRMs

Annihilators played by anyone that's not a spud will 3-4 shot both those mechs.

Agreed.

I'd like to see evidence of this "had good luck".

The ELO levels and such are still so low that it won't settle for at least a couple of weeks.

So yeah you might beat someone who's already 4-4 or something, but you won't beat someone 25-0 (for example).

Someone that goes 25-0 in Solo Div 1 already had to kill Annihilators to get to that point, they're not losing to a Dire Wolf....unless it's Bows3r in a Dire Wolf

someone in top 10 overall uses a DWF. Some potato in a different thread thinks the DWF should be like div4, which is nutz. It would easily be a go to mech in div2 for 2v2. Which would suck more than how the div is now because it's a hero mech.

Good luck to them lol.

Div 4 is... Well, that's just dumb lol. Although against lights it would get smacked up pretty hard.

Time to assign mode-specific quirks. That way we can get quirks that work in QP, quirks that work in Solaris, and even quirks that work in FP. Three whole sets of balance to juggle! What could possibly go wrong?

And the game even more complicated for everoyne not going into depth science of MWO.

All T1 is Annihilators. Granted there are a few different builds for them they all balastic and they all own anything other then another Annihilator. So just like flamers in Solaris 7 can mechs and variants be adjusted outside of global changes? Annihilators DO NOT need quirks. Pgi can't possibly think they are balanced in the slightest. The top 25 or more players in t1 all same mech just slightly different builds if not the same. To me that's boring and stale as hell.
D2 is pretty fun lots of diversity in mechs and builds.
D3 is the same
D4 is a toss up. It's funny tho best performing mech s are the mediums going up against some assaults and heavys.
I don't play any others but D7 looks the most popular as the top scores overall coming from here
Just curious what others thought and wanted to vent about 24/7 t1 Annihilators.

Right, let's just nerf every top Solaris Mech until ever mech in the game sucks at ALL modes. We all knew that Solaris was going to have the narrowest, tightest meta in the game. If you didn't know that, you didn't really think it through. The idea that it was going to be a "diverse" and "exciting" meta is a pipe dream. There will be 1 mech for each division eventually. One. Maybe a bit more flexibility in the 2v2s, but the 1v1s will always have a dominant chassis and attempting to balance that chassis, or any chassis around Solaris would kill this game as a whole. QP would vanish overnight and we'd have less players than before they released Solaris.
