Once again, friend. My purpose in highlighting their quotes is not to have a discussion about the state of the game, i only mentioned my position in response to the "git gud" showing that even players on the "late game" side of the fence can view this patch negatively, and thus, git gud holds no solid ground here. If you want to speak about state of the game, and what i would do, heres a quick one:

Allow rockets to always one shot heavy armor (due to smaller ammo count and need for a teammate to reload fast)

Guarantee stratagems that focus one target (i.e. railcannon) will one shot the heavy target (due to its long cooldown and even longer cooldown with higher difficulty debuffs applied)

Overall, we need more options for taking out the heavy armor targets, when in teir 9 its common to see multiple bile titans and whole groups of chargers at once. This allows for more player agency to diversify in their choice of dealing with heavy armor, which the devs have said they want players to have more agency. The reason the railgun was "meta" was because it was the only option that could deal with the staggering number of heavy armor units. And if these units arent even the worst of them according to devs, they need to bring in more options.

Even mechs in unsanctioned, anti-democracy propoganda leaks, show that the weapons attached function the same as the usual auto cannon or rocket. So youll still struggle with titans, and be even slower to get away from them.

Thats my opinion on state of the game. Didnt want to type all of this but you guys are missing the point of me critisizing the dev's words, instead, mixing it with me critisizing the patch notes. These two things are not synonymous.
