https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxszx60ZwGwThis game is pay2win. New weapons and torso outpower, outclass, outperform older equipment.
This means to comfortable be able to play
"competitively" you have to consistently spend money to get the new mythicals.
I put quotes around "competitively" because supermechs in it's current design has no competition. It is simply about which new players has the wallet to spend the tokens for new equipment.

I used to recruit people based on how they play and the strategies they implement. It is no longer the case.
Now I am forced to recruit people on whether they have multiple copies of the newest, powerful mythical items.Just have a look at how they balance weapons too... they
made rocket shredders much too powerful. Instantly lots of people begin buying into these.
Then
the only mechs that are in the top 10 are now people who have copies of these weapons.
Heck some
people will play 3 of the SAME mech cause they know this mechs beats everything.(Something clearly wrong)
In short, The meta for this game is not solid and makes it
difficult to play with strategy unless you consistently keep up with these new weapons and torsos.
It is
suffering from extreme power creep and hope that the devs understand how important balance is. When a new item is conceived, It has to be balanced or be a side-grade of an existing weapon strategy. The game's meta is not expanding. It is currently converging on a few strategies.
