SURGE - The dusty shelf queen.

I can't remember when was the last time I saw another player bust out the Surge.  I can't remember the last time I took mine out for a few rounds of mayhem.  Why does nobody use it?  Look at the stats on comparible mechs:

                   Health                Speed km/h

Surge         57k                      20

Lancer        71k??                  25 

Killshot       71k                     29

Shadow      57k                     29

MD             71k??                 22

Cheetah     78k                     22

Zephyr       71k                     18

The Surge, along with the Shadow, have the lowest health off all bots.  Both have 57,000 health maxed out.  That's fine.  It's a scout mech right?  Then, why is it have a speed of 20 km/h while the other scout are pulling 29 km/h?  Even the average support bot is faster, except for the stun whoring bot. 

The point is that the Surge, in it current state, is NOT a scout.  It stuns just like the Zephyr which is a support mech and just slightly faster.  It should be moved to the Support section and it's health bumped to 71k.  The alternative would be to keep it as a Scout and raise it's speed to 29.

I'm only 1,972 squad power right now, so I've only witnessed the Surge once.  So with that low experience, I have no input to offer, or agree or disagree.  ;D  Haha

Surge is a glass cannon that is situtionally dependent.  On the wrong map or if enemies don't group he might be a free space on a bingo card.

Shadow as a niche but it really depends on what weapons you put on it and how you use the mech.
