Zephyr tends to be a controversial mech choice for end game. I argue that people don't really take the assigned roles of mechs seriously. A recent zephyr scoreboard, when played as an actual support mech instead of an attacker:  |

wait, since when has zephyr been controversial as an endgame mech? Since it often gets pinched out of space in end game hangars for more firepower(Guardian/Redox/Tengu/Stalker/brick) speed (Killshot/Shadow), staying power and area control (Panther/Ares/Juggernaut). That, and the majority of the sets Zephyr can carry get much more mileage used on other, more aggressive or attrition based roles on the battlefield. |

Plus, games with high level players are like games of peek a boo. EVERYBODY is using that tactic. The game becomes a TPS shooter with mech skins. Zephyr just can't compete naturally in that environment.

Oddly enough, my Zephyr has not seen action since I got Stalker. I use my shielded mechs Ares and Panther, mostly Panther. Then I use my tank ish Brickhouse for tasks/achievements/tanking disputed control points. Killshot is for cpc and when other bots die, or going after mortar reds. Stalker is like a backup to Killshot, plus good for kills with Jav 6s. All this can change at my whim except Panther with railgun.  |

Dumb question: What's the range of the Zephyr's ability? I could have sworn it was 30m like the Guardian, but I got rooted at 41m over the weekend and that surprised me.
