I LRM boat almost exclusively, and it's true I can get around all your defenses if I'm sneaky about it. But do you know what I can't do anything about, and what can effectively shut me down for an entire match? A scout mech.

LRMs are fine. Those mechs that you "one shot" were probably standing still when they shouldn't have been. You can outrun LRMs. You can hide behind buildings from their comically slow progression. You can shoot them down with AMS. You can get ECM or get a friend that has it. Really, there's so many counters for LRM's, the only people who get killed by them are either stupid as hell, or are already mortally wounded.
