So, Plarium posted this on their FB : Rarity ? Well given that Ares is classified as a rare mech, this means this mech is pretty much condemned to being stuck to being an outclassed tank, reserved to beginners or mid-game players at best.
After all, there's no reason to prop him since the release of legendary tank Bastion.
On the other hand, given Plarium's will to revamp legendary items, the declaration that "some tanks will certainly become tougher than before" could be a strong hint that Brickhouse will receive an upgrade. (I'm still on the fence regarding its acquisition...)

Hmm... I've always harboured a secret desire to get the Brickhouse but I never pulled the trigger because well, it's so slow and the Stalker pretty much replicates it's ability (albeit solo) and is so much faster.
But...now that I'm pretty much giving up on maxing my Stalker, maybe I should get the Brickhouse if it gets a boost? Hmmm... I don't really have any weapons for it though. Oh wait, maybe I can slap JR12 on it! That would be cool! lol.

Oh wait, maybe I can slap JR12 on it! That would be cool! lol. The Neymar pilots should pretty much solve the slowness factor (at least they did on my 18 km/h Zephyr). What still bothers me is the size of this beast 🦛 Can't hide behind most obstacles, so it'll always remain a bullet magnet. That said, I'm pretty confident that he'll receive an HP buff at the very least. I checked his HP stats and they're paltry compared to Bastion's.
As for Stalker, I expect him to be upgraded to Epic grade at the very least. There's no way such a powerful mech, which let's remember received a previous HP boost, would remain in the now-deprecated "Rare" category.
Brickhouse is prolly best used with long range weapons, allowing him to avoid walking and also remaining nearby obstacles bi enough to accommodate his humongous size : Jav, mortars, EM rifles (imagine the boost on an already overpowered weapon !).
Though I've seen a few setup where Brickhouse was paired with AT. I can see this work. Even more if/when his HP receives something like a 30% boost.
Plarium said that they'd announce changes in advance. I'll be on the lookout and make a decision once we receive more clarity regarding Brickhouse's upgrades. If they're positive, I'll buy him before said changes come into effect... because maybe later on, Plarium will mess up with his price (i.e. ask for A-coins).
