Wow thats almost a dozen posters who hate ecm, and want it nerfed, that posted before I got in the door. Have you all resolved to hang up you LRM boots, and just sit here watching the forums with your arms crossed, frowning?

looks like people have overreacted and now ECM has been over nerfed.
lets review.

ECM COUNTERS:
PPC
ERPPC
TAG
NARC
ECM
SRM
BEAGLE ACTIVE PROBE

thats 7 counters for one piece of equipment, no other piece of equipment in the game has THIS many counters, this is completely unfair to people that use ECM on thier mech and have spent money to do so.

Further more if you are using ECM as a missile platform then add AMS to that list of counters! lol guys!

why should ONE piece of equipment that you have to UNLOCK have so many counters? what if in street fighter every character has a move that only counters Ryu's fire ball. thats not fair? hows that fair?
well why does every character have a move to counter ECM? and ECM has nothing only counters lrms that cant shoot in brawling range anyway?

my idea is to make it so if you equip CASE on the same location as ECM then ecm is immune to all counters.

[Jesus Box]

I too feel it should get a buff now. I propose the following:
1) Make missiles redirect back to the LRM Carrier entirely.
2) Make the ECM Carrier immune to Energy weapons.
3) Make the ECM Carrier invisible.
4) Make the ECM Carrier not show on the score sheet to the enemy team.
5) Make the ECM weigh nothing and consume no slots.
6) Increase the ECM jam range to 1,000m.
7) Make the BAP explode and kill the carrier of it, if an ECM detects it.

I think all this would help to properly balance this game. I expect all of this in the next patch, Piranha.

lol member since 25 Dec 2012??? all you know is ECM bro, stop, just stop.... can't even say you remember knockdown, or the hot fix for ARTIMIS, the K2 Gauss period, or the jenner rage.

lol, just stop

[Sidekick]

Best Thread Ever.

Like..... this week. But it´s a good start anyway.


Furthermore: I completely support the OP. ECM should be conciderd to recieve a buff, if all the announced counters apply.

i could be teribly mistaken on this but didnt ecm used to have a min range ?
like get into 80? meters of the ecm carier and ecm loses its effects .
as far as i noticed now that no longer aplies

[SuomiWarder]

If ECM only did what it did in the original rules it wouldn't need to be countered at all.

[KharnZor]

William Shatner doing 'Enter the sandman' in spoken word is the only sure way to nerf ecm.

[Dark Helm3t]

So, the 3 3L Ravens I've seen the last 3 matches single handedly winning each match while doing 500-600 damage each need a buff. Good call.

Fatality !...finish him !

[Badgerbanger]

ECM needs to be exterminated. Those are the mechs I go after every single time...even if it means suicide...your OMGIWINZOR! machine will die!

[Johnny Reb]

I agree ecm should counter all weapons and make any mech carrying it impervious to all but dfa damage!
