Can I just say, towards the argument that "hosts prefer ...", hosts are normally 12 years old and behave like it. The game was made for pre-teens (which doesn't keep adults from playing it) and so there is this massive meta, the dogma of how things should be done, among low-rank, low-age, low-education players, who demand that Frost defend their pod because that's how they have always done it.

So naturally, hosts will never demand an Equinox in their team. Aforementioned hosts will pre-select their favorites from the small world they know and they will quit in rage when they don't get what they want. Among the high-rank, high-experience players, there is an entirely different culture. I have never seen an age 20+ player ask for a specific frame. We just form a solid group, obliterate everything while chatting about stuff, then quit when it gets boring.

Never measure something's quality by public opinion. I was an avid Excalibur player before that nimble CC Scout got turned into a bulky blood god (essentially ruining my fav underdog frame by completely overpowering it). Back then, Excalibur was considered a weak starter frame by the majority. Loki was considered weak. Most players loved Oberon and Rhino. Nobody played Trinity despite the full godmode. There's your public opinion. Chew on it.
