Now you said this was going to be held cls to the chest as posible the tabletop game, as I recall teh Commando,jenner 7 D wer som of the best death traps ever. Now they've become the "I win button", as heavier mechs can't it them. Most games now consist of who ligh rushes the cap first wins.
As a CPTL C1 Fan I just assume I am dead once they get close, those 4 ML's are meaningless. So untill it's fixed some how my wallet is closed. As he game sits its all about the light mech andwhom a moreof them.

That fact that you're complaining about lights in a catapault renders your argument invalid. Lights are a solid counter to catapaults, they should be able to destroy them.

Really?
I've seen a LOT of nerf and op posts but I don't think I've ever seen a nerf request for an entire weight class lol You aren't supposed to be able to turn as quickly as they do in a heavy mech. I have no problems tracking them and getting my shots in for the most part. I hit reverse and twist and turn in different directions. Sure they out-turn me but they're supposed to. That's where teamwork comes in. Call out for help from your team's lights and/or friendly mechs around you. Lights work as designed although the hit detection is giving them a bit of an advantage at the moment

I really hope this wasn't because of my 5-1-0 in a Jenner...
To be more helpful though, battling competent Light pilots in a Heavy/Assault is not as intuitive as an Assault vs. Assault fight - you need to do things like turn right to track, then turn backwards and left to catch them as they try to go behind you. Putting your back to a wall is a huge benefit.
Keep trying though, you'll get it!

All true except putting your back to a wall has little benefit with collision in its current state. They can, unfortunately, get behind you at the moment.

Lights have the steepest skill curve in the game. Think of it this way. lets say that the difference between a bad assault pilot and a good one is 5 units of ability. a bad light to a good light is about 50 units of ability. A good light pilot is a force of nature unto itself. all they have going for them is speed. but teamwork can take them out, as they run a rather light weapons package and light armor.

What key is the "I win" button bound to? I've been in a commando for days, and I haven't found it.
Sure I can outrun/outturn one heavy or assault, but I run away from 2 or more (unless they're LRM boats). Also, I have 2 MPL and 2 SSRMs. It will take me an entire match to take out one assault mech on my own.

I wouldn't be so sure, my jenner has killed the occasional lone assault. If you can focus all your damage on the center torso segment of its back you'll usually get it done around halfway through the fight.

no.
Light mechs already recieved a nerf in the closed beta, notice that the jenner's stock speed isn't as high as it was listed in the founder's video? They don't need another.

When 1vs1 he can just STAND directly on my atlas and don't move. He has nothing to fear, knock back is gone because some people found it 'horrible buggy'. My Torso is not able to bend enough. If I move backwards he just follow.
So what to do?

He's in a catapult, what he needs is put in 6x SSRMs and watch your jenner go pop.
