The worst thing about lancer is the 3D printing bullshit and how it's totally meaningless if your mech is destroyed. I played a lancer oneshot with some friends and during the last fight I overloaded the reactor on my machine as it was sinking into grey goo before ejecting to escape, but then according to the lore that was totally meaningless. Basically, the systems are alright but the worldbuilding and lore are terrible. Good thing we totally ignored that part.
