Please add a "none of the above" option to at least the first 2 questions. Otherwise I can't vote.

I'm surprised you didn't ask for a "commando" option.

[Gaeb]

Voted for...

Weapons:
Medium Laser (which I think SHOULD be about exactly where is, and should also be op!)
UAC5 (dps is op)
SRMs (I love 'em, but they're probably op)
Gauss (still pretty darn gooooood given the heat/dps)
Guided Missiles with no ECM (tho really, cover is fine, but its mostly due to the shake/smoke and streaks not targeting legs/arms)

Double Heat Sinks:
They're the best of the bunch, no contest, even in the wacky 2.0/1.4

Item:
Armor (its OP!)
ECM (hasn't had more EW elements added/balanced against it yet, so for now its very strong)
Double Heat Sinks

Garth says everything has been called OP.

He has also made the critical mistake of taking all feedback with the same level of legitimacy

Rage PMs from people who just died to an Awesome trial with 3 PPCs is not equal to long, detailed essays and debates over the effects of DHS, ECM, and guided missiles on game balance.

Also Endo Steel is most OP. Is there any mech where it's not a clear advantage to take it?

I am not sure, but I believe mutliple vote polls allow you to vote for nothing, too. You can't do that with single choice polls.

I couldn't make space for the Flamer and MG. We can have a seperate poll on that on a later date, say taking the 4 top picks here and then add Flamer and MG to the poll.

Who chose FF armor over Endo Steel? If you did, why?

they also said 2.0 DHS break the game without letting the beta testers test it
"what they say" is less in my eyes now

[VXJaeger]

Not a single weapon is OP, but them become OP when
A. Überboated
B. A mech, that can carry those weapons, is rised above others by ECM.

[MaddMaxx]

The OP is OP. Or is it the other way around. The OP is OP... hmmm, interesting thought that.

going off my own personal opinion I'd have gone with "nothing, game not feature complete, ask me again in 3 months or however long it takes to actual launch"

I voted based on the combined opinions of everyone on the forum and voted for everything

Talk with the admin or the developer of the forum software about that. I ran out of slots. It's possible you can also vote without clicking anything, but I haven't tested this.

Also, remember, you don't have to vote "OP", you can also vote for "Best" of the list. (And if Best is what your cat prefers to sit on when you print it on paper, that's your definition of best and I am okay with that for the purposes of this poll.)

I now have None of the Above options for the last 2 questions, but this probably won't help you. Use the Cat-Sitting algorithm to determine the most OP weapon, if necessary. If you don't have a cat, other pets or friends can work, too. Dart boards may also serve you well.

in all seriousness, and I know people are going to argue about it anyways (this is also coming from a light mech pilot), the most op thing to do in this game i think would be changing your engine out. It rarely happened in lore, if ever, and it kinda makes people think that a standard raven goes 120kph or something...

Why should it matter if I choose to wear underpants or not?

Oh, right... Commando Mechs... Right...

[VXJaeger]

I meaned, only truly OP weapon I have seen during open beta is LRM, when it had the infamous ARCBUG
Streaks are OP only when boated, no mech should be allowed to carry more than 3 launchers of that. ECM have made them OP 'caus of mechs that can carry it, but it's not SSRMs fault.

[Attalward]

I voted to the best of my opinion but i am not a very good player so...

[Lee Ving]

There needs to be an option for Forum QQ is OP.

What do you mean structurally redesigning an entire walking humanoid robot weighing tens of tons around 1/3rd of its bulk isn't as easy as 1-2-3 omni-engine?

[King Arthur IV]

lag shield mech most op right now
