Had to be done, really few mechs have the 4 ballistic hard points and this build seems to always have a small place in the game despite the heat issues. Weapons are meant to be used independently of each other to improve heat efficiency, lasers are there to help conserve ammo or to be backup weapons if ammo is used up. Full armor and decent speed with tweak help the mech change locations and easily suppress enemies and change their behavior, I think that is one of the strengths of AC /2s and LRMs is that they force other players to change what they had planned on doing and seek cover, giving your team more time to kill their friends.
