What...?? no cover.. oh MY! what will we DO???? oh My, NO!!!

What..?? no ECM... oh My what will we DO?? Oh My NO!!!!

Can you imagine if there where warnings for energy, balistic head shots??

GIVE ME A FRIKIN BREAK.. If you can not stay out of the range or get to cover from LRMs you deserve to get corred.

Poor little bob, your missiles aren't going to be unbalanced anymore with the bug hotfix in the morning.

GIVE ME A FRIKIN BREAK.. If you can not stay out of the range or get to cover or carry ECM, or get some AMS or just use your brain to keep from LRMs baths, then you deserve to get corred!

I'm not sure if I pity you because you're a terrible troll, or if I pity you because you actually believe the things you post. Either way it is a vast amount of pity.

No ****ing **** OP.

The problem is if you **** up even once a single volley of 20 lrms or so will instantly kill you or at least make all your armor fall off.

If you don't see how this is bad then you're one of the people enjoying abuse of this bug and are part of the problem.

I feel like you completely missed every single obvious bit of sarcasm I used.

LRMs are completely broken, and I've had several people tell me in games today to use cover.

So far my deaths to LRMs include:
3 headshots
3 leggings
0 torso destructions

I have yet to get cored by missiles this patch. Every death has been legging or a headshot.

"To the folks saying Use cover !"

Try to calculate the time necessary for an Heavy or Assault mech to reverse throttle when initially moving at half max speed and manoeuver to avoid the missiles.

Then try to argue with some facts next time, not your biased personal opinion.

don't reverse, cut speed turn then accell if you're too far from cover that's a tactical foul.

don't bother learning to use cover LRMs be getting nerfed tomorrow

[Kahoumono]

Cover is no use when one salvo can clean your clock. LRMs are so broken PGI is reacting quickly to fix it...things like the cap rates on the large maps are a problem too but they don't seem to be in a hurry to fix those like a lot of other problems. The cap rates are probably a super easy fix but they choose to fix the LRMs, that tells you how broken LRMs are at the moment.

[Ryvucz]

You could, I dunno, calculate it in your mind how much time you need to escape a flight path of LRMs in your current position.

If it takes too long, don't go someplace that's wide open.

A guy in a DDC using LRMs just said I was being cheese because I walked up behind him and legged him with my Cent.

Lol.

LRMs travel at 100M/S, a fairly fast brawler ( 80-90kph )will need several seconds ( at least two ) to go from full stop to full reverse and back in cover, and it will take about three times as long to do it from full forward. If the player shooting LRMs is fairly close to the target there won't be time to do anything but torso twist and hope you survive. If the attacker is really close, say 200 meters or so there won't be enough time to respond at all unless the target was expecting to get LRM'd.
