As the thread`s title says, I dont like the 7S. The oder Varians like 6R, 6D and BW are all great and I can do great matches in them, but not in this one. Finaly, after trying many different options (6x MPL, 4x SRM4; 3x LRM10, 4 MLs; etc.) I came to this build and can say now, I`ve found something "not too bad" So here it is:
Now it could be worth it thanks to both new tech and recent SRM6 cooldown and heat buff Updated Standard engine version: STD300 with more armor thanks to Light Ferro Fibrous, but -1 DHS. Best option if you can shield properly with the left side New tech version with LE 315: features better speed, completely armored shield arms and completely heat stable with 3xSRM6+A only without quirks and skills involved Or the even more asymmetric version with even better speed, but loses one shield arm on the weak side... Maybe the best variant if you can shield properly with the left side.
