ive literally just come out of a match where the guy/gal (who im not going to name) - piloting a RVN-3L who was running stnd top speed 2streak 3ml craven we have all come to hate because it highlights everything seriously broke with the game - started crying about how op LRMs are. I just thought id share the irony, and L2P newb!

It is a sign, because now they can be hurt

^ Or not the brightest pilot. I've noticed Legs and Side Torsos to be the most easily hit though, which I'll agree is a good sign.

I hate LRMs AND 3Ls.... so I bought a raven 3L, and put LRMs on it. ... Great Success! Got the idea from my LRM X5. Ninja LRMing, my new favorite pastime.

Until the Raven 3L with streak SRM decides to hunt you down

....Or any light that's faster than me unless I have some team mates around. However, I have actually done amazingly well for something that might be considered a stupid build, it is incredibly powerful given the right circumstance. I can chase lights away from base caps Without exposing myself to too much fire, I can wreak havoc on an enemy LRM line if they stay put, especially if a Treb backs me up. Or staying mainly with my team, I protect them from a lot of LRM fire, and rain down fire when the fight gets close. I'm loving it, but yeah, if I get focused by lights early, without being able to shake 'em off, its a short game.

I'll have to try this on my 3L, sounds like fun.

It is a good idea for an extremely mobile LRM mech. I tried this before but not on the 3L. I tried it on the raven 4X. Lacking of ECM so I met my end with other lights quite quick

....If they ever add a ECM mech with 15 tubes or more, small profile, with a top speed > 120 KMPH....

That would be the most OP Hero Raven. The forums would crash. But i would quite enjoy it. (Not that it's ever going to happen.)

I had another one like that the other day...a 3L pilot complaining about the SRM's my Jenner was carrying, saying it was a cheese build, and that SRM's needed to be fixed.

Guess he hated his ECM Streakboat with funky hitboxes being killed by a guy in a JR7-D, lol.

Had roughly the same reaction with my CN9-A with 3 SRM 6s + Artemis while on top of the ECM Commando (complete accident, but didn't want to get off because i thought it was funny.) against a 3L, i don't think he liked that very much. Also Commandos can carry twice their tonnage in weight and still zip around, interesting fact.

When in game divas get killed everything is OP.

There should be a thread dedicated to this kind of lulz. Just had a DDC who did 90 dmg before getting plowed telling the other other assaults that their armor was meant to absorb damage and that they should have been pushing more. While you are supposed to absorb damage you're not supposed to march in between three enemy atlases and "absorb" that damage, especially without any backup.

You should shoehorn a LRM20 into the hardpoint with only one tube for maximum troll!

[Oni Ralas]

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Lights are not a problem. I don't mind lights shooting at me, as I can shoot back and (thanks to the recent changes) usually hurt them a bit. Either they dissengage, or they eventually die.

The Raven however is a Light that isn't working as intended. The hitboxes are wrong, the ECM (swarming) shuts down too much for such a small investment and it carries too much firepower for the chassis. While all ravens suffer from the hitbox issue, the 3L with ECM just pushes this over the top.

I own a 3L. I had to know first hand how these things currently are broken in game. And yes, they're broken in a big way. Folks can whine about LRM all they want, but it doesn't hold a candle to a light mech who has more survival than a heavy.
