Sometimes you just gotta kick back and relax; Forget the meta, forget what all those snooty people with golden 1's beneath their avatars are saying, sometimes you just wanna have fun.

What 'Mechs do you lot pilot when you suddenly get the urge to actually enjoy the game, regardless of what some toff and his spreadsheet says?

Personally, I jump into an Awesome (loving its inclusion in the upcoming event btw) or my Boar's Head, which did 900 damage last match and still had its right torso barely intact at the end, thankyouverymuch!

The Awesomes. Any and all of them.

Also Rifle 3C with bare minimum skill tree (just what's needed to get advanced zoom).
Archer.
and Protector (Orion).

When the quacks just aren't given and I feel like doing what I want instead of holding back for the sake of not changing tiers.

Anything with jumpjets but especially my Quickdraws (all but the H); also the loyalty Linebacker for the sheer joy of movement it provides.

My "guilty pleasure" mechs are the the dual Heavy Gauss IS meta assaults. I feel kinda guilty executing the potatoes in quick play like that sometimes, but damn is it fun. Also the 6AC2 ANH-2A, that thing rips through quick play taters like nothing else.

2HLL 4CERML Gargoyle, or probably an ATM 36 Sun Spider or Nova Cat.

The first is like a big fat Hellbringer that can take a few shots, the second just melts everything (but can get shut down hard sometimes).

Anytime I take a dusty crate of LRM launchers from the warehouse and mount them on a 'mech; recently it's been a Cougar with twin aLRM15s, TAG, and 4 cERSML when not running a mini-Hellbringer build on it.

Am I weird?

Not really. We all have different levels of derpness. I only play serious builds during events or when grinding for something I really want. Otherwise I will be on a meme mech most of the time like my 6 light ppc battlemaster :P

The loyalty kitfox with LRM 35, TAG, and a flamer. It's every bit as bad as it sounds.

My list of yolo mechs that are fun to play and don't do much if any thing to help with the match:

1. Bazooka C4: Uses that sweet 32% missile cool down to barf 4x lrm 15s while the ammo lasts. 937m Tag range for all de locking.

2. Boom Bird: nothing says you care less about winning than shoving that ac 20 on the rvn-4x.

3. Huggin Buggin: Longest lrm range in the game. lrm 10x2 or lrm 5 and srm 6. Maximum Lrm Range Achieved.

4. Burning Rambo: Ember with two flamers and all the lmg or mgs. 25% mg rof for all your spray n pray needs.

5. Spam: The Classic A1 with lrm5s,bap,two jj to rock hop and all the ammo. Heavily depented on the other team not having tri-ams foxes r novas. Dies to anything and every thing. Stay in the middle of your team at 250-350m or have a body guard.

6. Krusty Krab: KGC-000 with 6 lmgs, mls, and srms. Short ranged slow moving meat shield for most the match but a late match nightmare.

7. Hadouken: 4x ppc of choice on the K2 putting its 20% velocity quirk to work. Cool Shots,Adv Zoom and a wing man a must.

8. Bad Kitty: Pnt-KK with 4x spls and mrm 10.

Ac20, 17 shots, 97 kph, enough armor to shrug off a few laser rakes...
