I have been running Raven 3L (elite, XL295) with ECM since it came out.

ECM sure feels strong and I think it requires some changes. I haven't seen any statistical differences in my matches really (wins/losses, kills/deaths), but I still think it requires some tuning.

I absolutely hated the "no skill streakcats" pre-ECM, as they are the nemesis for any light, but I think the streaks are now hit too hard by the ECM. Yes, you can counter it, but it's still hit/miss -mechanics instead of a ...less binary approach.

To address that, my suggestions are following:
  • Allow locking the target whom is carrying the ECM
  • Increase the lock time by 10-50% vs targets under effect of ECM. The larger the target, the less the increase.
  • Double that effect on the target that is CARRYING the ECM
This way the target with the ECM is very hard to lock, but it's at least possible in theory. This would be less drastic than the current "no, it's impossible" -scenario.

And the spotting of targets above 180m should not be completely hindered either. It should just be twice slower or so.

I wonder if this post is actually invisible.
