God mode really isn't OP, it's just a good torso in the current meta, because fights usually end very quickly. High damage weapons, no health kits, strong shields now break quickly, etc. Also because the zero resistance floor pads benefit mechs with negative resistance.

It's not necessarily stronger than other torsos though. I'd say USA mark, lavascope, yoshimo X and electron defense (last one is debatable but I still think it's a good torso) can all compete with god mode.

The torsos that really need a buff are ultraspade (used to be the best torso, now not very useful), metrolens (this one has always been bad) and diamond shell, which was made particularly bad after the last kit removal update.

I wouldn't object to a (slight) lavascope buff but I don't really think it needs it.

Lava spray is really not overpowered. Heat mechs are suffering a lot these days - no huge advantage over physical and a big disadvantage against energy mechs. So please don't remove some of the remaining good heat weapons. Also, people get angry because they can't deal with heat. That doesn't mean a weapon is overpowered, just that you haven't found the right strategy against it.

Sparks is not a bad sword. It might not do as much damage as the hammer/axe, but it has knockback. Still, a buff seems appropriate.

I don't see why shotguns need a buff. Like why would any physical weapons need a buff now? Physical mechs are strongest in the current meta and nearly dominate, so let's make them even stronger? That's not balancing.

Wipeouts, yes please buff. They're utterly useless, same damage as a legendary pull top weapon but they use ammo. Also, needles are useless because shredders do so much more damage and use less ammo. But I'd rather nerf shredders than buff needles.

Ultranova is kinda OP. Ridiculously high damage for no ammo usage.

Orb cannons are far from strong. The legendary pull cannons do nearly the same damage and don't use energy! In general anything which uses energy has a major weakness so I see no reason to nerf.

I think energy mechs are kinda silly now with no energy kits available. They can entirely shut someone down and do absolutely massive damage, but they can also be shut down by other energy mechs and be unable to do anything. I haven't seen anyone build a really flawless energy mech yet, but they are super dangerous. The thing I find weird is the new energy weapons which use little or no energy usage. Like an 80 energy draining shotgun that uses 5 energy. You can deplete 150 energy in a turn from nearly any range. The only reliable way to counter energy is with physical. Anyway, just a mini rant. I don't know how I'd rebalance the energy weapons.

That's 100% superficial, but i agree

Stop with the colours, it serves no purpose than to give people reading your wall of text a headache


Edit: to add onto the discussion, I would say that all of these buffs are helpful and i would like to see them implemented, but they cant try to make everything viable again because some items will still end up as trash. This is how games work.

The only thing I would disagree is with the diamond shell buff and godmode nerf. Imo it is balanced but the null resistance pads killed it. With the removal of kits, i think they should also REMOVE NULL RESISTANCE PADS. This could sufficiently nerf godmode and buff diamond shell

i agree with this post, the ultranova is very op and needs to be nerfed, lava scope maybe needs 10 or 20 more hitpoints?, based on ogonna i agree with him too. ultraspade was the best torso but now its treated as one of the worst ones, and metrolens is treated as the worst mythical torso, they really need buffs.
