I have my own gripes too, mainly: LW builds seem to be... useless? The advent of QB with gen 4 really changed the game from boost control through hopping to shorter, but more agile QBs. Boost speed also doesn't seem to matter, it's all QB. A side effect of this is that heavier, beefier designs with higher AP and much better defense can keep up with lighter ACs in terms of close range movement if properly specced, but they're also inherently able to deal more damage because they can carry more weapons. Goat was kicking everybody's ass in the lobby yesterday with his kicker stunlock build.
You're unable to go real long range because no weapons like that exist in the game yet (to my knowledge). So everything is kind of in the mid and close ranges for the moment.
It's still early days though, so there's a lot of time to flesh out the meta.
EDIT: Wouldn't this be a nice use for the manual aiming OS upgrade? If we had snipers/weapons with high shot velocity in here now, manual aim would fit in great with them (QB spamming aside). Then we could have even more build diversity.
