HFs are pretty dodgeable now. I feel a large issue right now is if 1 person takes a HF mech in Eco or Bazaar, 2-3 other people on the same team are going to take a HF mech as well, and they are all going to roll together. Whenever this happens, angels lose their wings, babies cry, puppies howl in anguish, and kittens pretend they are dogs. Now that the world is in shambles, the Rocketeer/Bruiser deathball gets a tech, morphs into Voltron, and lays waste to the other team.

Hellfires are at least for the moment the only good counter to scout/berserker rushes.  Its a problem when spammed on a team...but honestly no more of a problem than raider spam in some TDM games.

You could make the auto-lock on not work on cloaks...have to at least manually lock rather than just wave your sights over them and *magic missile*

pretty much THIS.

Its not a case of one mech being OP, but of power creep.  they scale too well in groups...but hey any time an entire team focus fires on you...you pop like an overripe grape.  That is just how it is.  You should come play EVE online some time and see what real ganking looks like :-P
