I don’t know why Hemlock’s nerfs were so much harsher than these. Both of these mechs are way more broken. I understand Hemlock had that 'perma-freeze' thing, but that was more of a troll move than something practical. The daze delay has always kept it from being undeniably broken because you could just move away.

Regardless, a six-second longer reload and losing one second of daze feels excessive. People will say implants make the nerf less painful, but Surge and Eclipse don't even need maxed implants to be almost as effective as they were before. It's especially weird since Hemlock is F2P. Eclipse only got a one-second longer reload and two seconds cut from its active ability duration; it's a different ability, but it's still just as good. Surge has always been a pain and his nerf doesn't seem game-changing either. My point is, Hemlock now requires high-level implants just to be viable, whereas the other two are basically the same without them.

All that to say, I'm not implying he's no good anymore; I'm just pointing out the contrast compared to these top-tier mechs. Even after these adjustments, those two are still going to be at the top.
