What in your opinion, what would make the LEO a top tier contender?
I can't see myself spending needlessly on anything that will not... take me to the top. (queue 80's music)
I've had one and sold it back in the old MM days. It seems like even Tasha has found a niche as a poor man's fury but LEO is still sub par.
Give your suggestions as to what would make LEO a BEAST? (within reason. Not: - "give it six heavy slots...")
Speed?
Health?
Special ability?

Leo is already a short-range beast. The difficult part is getting it into position because it's quite slow, but once in position it can face down a lot of robots.
Imagine, at point-blank range, you're facing a huge tank with a Thunder and three Pinatas. What bot do you want to be in?
Bear in mind, the Leo (and those weapons) only cost Silver...

Put some extra health on it, and make it 10K health less than the Raijin.

I say juice my boy, Trip Aphids /Ancile Leo, "Willie Dynamite", as he is known in Hollywood circles, with a little more horsepower under the hood... And he'd be the top bully on the block. He's Daddy's little mobile slaughterhouse. He makes men tremble with fear and women swoon with lust. Some Red puts the foot to my arsenal with a quickness, I immediately pull Willie Dynamite from the hangar, and he lays vengeful waste to any and all comers.

Top tier players use Leos currently. Depends on your tastes really.

Well it's simple:
Zeus/gekko Thunder/aphid Thunder/magnum Thunder/piñata Ancile/aphid Ancile/magnum Nashorn/molot ( ofc )
This beast has many setups waiting to be used a lot ( dis auto ) Zeus gekkos are now useful due to the 15% damage buff ( sitting for a unlimited ammo )

I still believe that a 4th light weapon would make the Leo usable in TT.

Replace the single light hardpoint side with a medium hardpoint.

I have a plasma/thunder Leo and a pin/thunder Leo. Both are middle to last resort bots because I have two Lancelots for kninefighting and my Griff is my go to bot.
It all depends on the rest of your hanger, but these setups are the best IMO. The thunders work wonders for defense. A pinata Leo setup would get killed too quick, but any setup with a pothead is viable.

I'm seeing some mixed opinions here. Some say - it is a Top Tier contender and other who are saying what has been said before - Leo is a jack of all trades but a master of none, i.e. what Leo does good, another bot does better.
My favorite idea is seeing a hard point swap - light for medium. It would be the bigger brother to the Golem with an extra light weapon.
Imagine: Thunder/taran/Magx2 Thunder/orkan/pinatax2 Triden(Zeus)/Tulu/Pinx2
Add a Ancile and you have a shielded bot with great HP, two lights and a medium.
Lance would still shine because it has speed boost and physical shield.
Just some thoughts. Thanks to all who added to this post in a positive way!

Mid weapon ia to much imho, orkan/pinata/thunder will crack anything in his path, a fourth simmetric light hard point should be enought

Probably more doable too! thunder aphids x4 - crazy! thunder pinata x4 - wow! thunder mags x4 - insane! trident pins x4 - awesome! Treb gekko x4 - sweet! you get the picture - lol

Leo just gets stredded by plasma, having 3 Magnums on it still don't make it able to compete with Galahads and full on PDB setups, plus its slow. Leo is outclassed by the Lancelot
Give it an in-built mini Ecu, make it the strength of an actual Ecu, not too OP like those of a Galahad or Rhino. Sounds OP but plasma shreds the guy

Either a 4th light or swap a light for a medium is what's needed imho.

Add a little more armour, add a light hardpoint, decrease speed to match Natasha, and make it a gold bot for 1500 - I'd buy it. Call it the Leo 2, don't change the look or profile of the bot, it'll have the same silhouette until it opens up with all hardpoints going... SURPRISE!

Maybe the Leo wasnt meant for Top Tier gameplay
It is a silver bot anyway, shouldnt be able to compete with Gold bots

A pure DB setup on a Griff will destroy a Galahad or Lancelot and even if they have a shred of life left they'll nvr catch you as you jump to safety lol.

To make Leo viable I would drop its health and take off the light weapons and add two heavy weapon slots. Oh wait.

You may not have a Leo in a finalized TT Dream hanger but it can still be a viable 5th slot for when you are on your last bot simply due to the immense health pool. The Leo is also great for kitting out for specialized support roles such as operation Ancile Cancel, as a counter to Trident & Zeus and focusing on sticking it to the other team's snipers. The Vid below shows Leo at 12/12 holding it's own on the test server hanging with Dash bots, Furies and Carnages. I would like to see the Leo get a little bit faster, and to have the single light hardpoint on it's left side changed to a medium.

Don't be fooled. Take a look at the legend league if you want to know what bots and weapons rule. You won't find leo's in their hangers.
Take the short cut and avoid spending money on bots and weapons that will be obsolete!
