Just trying to get a feeling for the variety of mechs people typically pilot. I'm not talking about all gameplay, ever. Just your go-to mechs when you're playing to win. This would include all game modes though.

My go-to mechs are Assault, Tech, and Bruiser. It really depends on the map/team I have around me. If I don't know ANYONE I go Raider for the "lalw gonna be the distraction again!" If I got a wingman I try to use a Mech that makes up for said mechs downside. If I got a whole squad Tech does it all.

I like to use Scout/ reaper if I need to harass the enemy, assault for general ripping of enemies, and incin if I need to suppress another team. However those four mechs are the only ones I own... so "maining" them is sorta required :P

I main 3 with 1 on reserve.

Infil - attack
Pred - recon
Gren - defence

Reaper on reserve for those times when my team really needs a ranger.

If I'm not trying to max out the mechs that still need to be maxed out, then I'll be Bruiser, Grenadier, or Infil.

I don't really main a mech. I level them to max rank and then buy the next. I do revisit each mech every one once in a while, some more frequently and always depending on game mode, but not so much as I would say that one is my main. They got all their 15-25 hour use so far and except Tech, I like to pilot them all.
However, I sometimes get the feeling I could perform a bit better if I would stick more to one mech, but on the other hand, every new mech I get has a better KD/R than the previous one in that class. I'll decide once I've got them all.
There's still no mech that beats the 30+ hours playtime in my CRT though I haven't touched it in months.

I typically run one on East and six or seven on West.  Don't feel like acclimatizing to 120 ping with multiple mechs.

I main the Predator (no surprises there, lol) for fun, the lawls, and for being a sneaking person.

My second mech would be Grenadier for area denial, pushing the front lines, and stuff like that.

Third would be Incinerator for raining down fire, mobile artillery (nearly the same as Gren but I find the Gren more fun).

Fourth would be CRT due to ease of playing and for when things need to get done.

Though, I do occasionally play SS when I need to get rid of that pesky camper.  I've even started using Manguard and Infil for alpha striking and other stuff.  The only one mech in my garage that I don't play is Beserker.

Ripper Reaper is always a favorite me, but I am whatever I need to be. Jump in, examine current team composition, and go from there. Of course, this leads to Assault becoming the star of my garage, since it's arguably the most versatile axe in the game. Every axe has its place, though. Bruiser is good if I need to dish out the hurt at varying ranges, and Incin/Manguard for general purpose day ruining, with a heaping side of tankiness.

I don't care what I use as long as it has three barricades and I am on origin.  Maybe throw in a rev-gl.

PPA Incinerator, Vulcan Gren and AR Salt all for the same role; assaulting.
I use my Predator and Reflak Raider about the same, but less often.

Flak/Heat Scout, Heat/EOC Infiltrator, RPR Tech.

I also use G2Raidhurr.

Yeah, I like variety.
