I'm Tier 1, btw.
I'll concede it may be more or as much map design as anything else, having read several posts on here. I'm not even saying snipers should disappear from the game, only they should be balanced against all of the other styles, which does not seem to be the case.
Since coming back to playing more regularly, I see a majority of mechs with multiple ER Larges, PPC, Gauss. Many mechs can boat what seems to me to be alot of weapon systems. The heat cost does not seem to limit their usage like it would in the earlier versions of MWO and BT in general.
My post was meant to raise a budding concern so it could be reviewed and perhaps future changes could hew more closely to balance - whether in roles of mechs, maps, style of play, etc.
Again, the constructive comments are appreciated.
in battletech (and on sarna) gauss is described as "a weapon able to take down a light mech in 1 hit"
trust me, in lore long range weapons were even stronger than now.
overall the statement that there is abundance of traders is just false, max 1-2 out of 12 mechs are usually trading from far away, and they just end up being food for fleas and piranhas
