Rephrased: I ran away to save my bot. Sad.

On topic: there is hardly any problem with either speed-fit mechs or tank-fit mechs. Both have their goals, both have their distinctive advantages and disadvantages, aims. At least in CIR, we have people who are in favour of completely armor-fit mechs, we have people who is directly interested in what you call 'glass cannons'. Current setups of different colors of mechs, setups of equipment, even character's own skills are directly affecting all those preferences and factors, creating vast choices for players. And I have to notice, it is mostly balanced, opportunity choices are always to consider and evaluate, what makes it so challenging and interesting at the same time.

So why do we create a problem and pointless debate where it does not have a place to exist? Not to mention that fixing the current speed of mechs would actually cause a much larger resonance among wide number of players than just leaving current setups as they are.
