No config will outweigh a bad pilot's ability
Inaccurate. I suck. I play my best mechs, my meta mechs, with high mounts and either laser vomit or dakka boating, and I win, my PSR goes up, I look like I know what I'm doing. I play my "fun" mechs, my ugly mechs, the mechs I really want to play- I lose, I look like I started playing a month ago, I struggle for kills.
ECM= win. High-mounted UAC-5+10's = win. High mounted laser vomit = win. I can run massively armor quirked IS mechs and torso twist until the cows come home, have a mediocre match- or I can use a BASP and just win with zero effort or skill. Just point at the enemy.
The balance in this game between mechs is atrocious, we already have "pay to win" mechs, it's just that most of them are available for CBills. There's good mechs and bad mechs, and the good ones tend to be good for all the same reasons.
