Sadly, LRM-bears suffer the same poor play as many other LRM mechs -- its the players not the build. That is, they sit back 600+ meters away lobbing LRMs, from cover, praying for solid locks from the SOBs at the front line, and holding 100 tons of tanky armor back that the team sorely needs.
There's a right way to use LRMs and a wrong way. The above is the wrong way. The right way to play LRMs is this:
1) Trail the back end for the death ball. Stay with your team.
2) Look for your own locks, as much as possible.
3) Bring and use TAG and UAVs.
4) use LRMs at < 500m for best travel time to cooldown ratio.
5) Have backup weapons to defend yourself and/or not be useless when the LRMs are out.
6) Have a speedy engine and re-position often. Be ready to move fast for a better target in optimal range (again < 500m)
7) Watch the reticle go red for hits. If lobbing LRMs, and you don't see red, the target has cover and you're firing into it.
On edit, I decided to make a thread of the above and expanded it a bit.
