MLatios still sucks as LO Latios does almost the same things as well, so its ME is worth it only when another ME's not required in the team: it's a sad filler.

Earthquake is Mega Latios niche over normal Latios, it can lure in and KO/2HKO most its normal checks/switch-ins and base 160 SpA still hurts even though LO/Soul Dew Latios hurts slightly more. So M-Latios+Flyinium Z Gyarados for example makes for nice mind games on what your mega is, being able to punish wrong reads quite well.
