People only look at the picture of the mech. They dont reading the lore or anything. Funny thing is tho, its one of those rare times IS will be faster than Clan.
I totally agree. They went to Sarna, looked at the picture, saw that it was a battlemech not a omnimech, saw the high mounts, saw that the mounts were mostly ballastic and stabbed that vote button as fast as they could. None of that look at the picture and said to themselves, "Hmm that radar dish, its cool and all but that will make for a really nasty hitbox weak point in game". None went, "Looks cool, let me research the build....oh wait...snap....they come equipped with 195 size engines...they are going to be slow as hell!!" What is worse is even if they did, most probably stopped at "Looks Cool" I mean look at the massive CRUSADE to get the Blood Asp's ST hitboxes enlarged by 30-50% just because "LONGER BARRELS LOOK COOL!!!"

Again Online polls are notoriously inaccurate due to not keeping track of how many times a vote is cast. People have vote bots just to make it seem that what they want, everyone wants as well. Good job on padding the votes on those sites.
Do you really think people care enough to make dozens of multiple accounts just to increase the likelihood of a mech they like getting added. I mean it may happen but my money is on it not happening, at least not by enough to sway a the number of votes by 100 or more. People really wanted the Rifleman IIC for the reasons I and BrunoSSace point out above. Because it is a IIC, It has high mounted ballistics and "looks cool" without thinking once on how it might actually perform in the game.
