It's nasty if you get thrown into a drop with several enemy 100 tonners, especially if your team gets stuck with Awesomes instead (takes a good Aws pilot to equal an average Atlas pilot imo). This will be fixed in the future as drops will have weight limits.
Also: because variety is fun.

Clearly, anything that can beat an Atlas is abusing a bad game mechanic because 100 tons > all.

Basically, they have their own role, but will fail terribly against more flexible opponents without support. This is not, nor will it ever be, Assault Mechs Online.

Back when matchmaking didn't account for tonnage there existed such threads. And to be honest, it might still have merit. We'll see once phase II comes out and how all the merc corps handle the new meta game (creating the perfect 8 person team). And I'm sure a number of them will be trying 2 things: all Jenners and all Atlases.

I'll pilot one of those. You know when you get things on your back? When you end up fighting more than 1. How many mechs do you know that can handle a few Alphas to the back then turn around and pop off a leg?
As for abusing game mechanics ... lights are abusing quite a bit at the moment. Netcode, bad hit boxes and no collision mechanics. I guess some of the light pilots are new people who can only afford lights. Most are people abusing the bad game mechanics.

Furthermore the mechs are well balanced in the hands of experianced players. why would anyone want to play an atlas? way too expensive and then to upgrade and equip also expensive. then when a cammando, no less, makes a fool out of you expensive to repair.
