I liked the ppc changes for the most part.

Light ppcs were a joke before, now the mechs that want them finally fell like they have some teeth.

Do wish the cool down was lower (on light ppc especially-the dps dropoff hurt) but things can always be adjusted down the line. I think rolling back the patch so quickly is a mistake.

Weve been here before. Long range pinpoint alphastrikes in excess of 30 damage break the game. It leads to mechs dying so fast the game simply isnt enjoyable anymore. Not that the game is all that enjoyable in the first place.

Its the whole reason they added ghost heat and limited you to two gauss rifles or PPCs because that 30 damage limit kept the long range pinpoint alphastrikes somewhat in check.

Also poptarting is the least fun thing to play against in the entire game. Weve been there as well. This game was at its absolute lowpoint when poptarting was the meta. So why would you want to bring that playstyle back? Again that decision was probably due to ignorance of the game's history.

This isnt the first time PGI has balanced in circles though... they have a really bad habit of doing that. Their whole game is based on going in circles. From how its played to how its balanced lol.

I know this is tin foil level conspiracy but i feel an element of PGI don't like MWO and are trying to tank it for Daeron and Matt. How else can you explain the things that constantly happen.

I hate the PPC changes. I'm SO blasted sick of seeing them every game. Its worse than LRM spam at its hayday.

I don't dislike the new PPCs i dislike how the older mechs cannot hold up to them with their armor.. the power creep was crazy..

So many mechs are just bad due to their lack of armor and the march patch showed it up even more than before.
