One double flush is enough to fire 6 SRM6's, 90 damage, for free. What uses SRMs? Oh, right, every competitive mech in the game. Coolant flush is an offensive tool for skilled players, it's not a fallback for the unskilled. They wouldn't even notice the difference or remember to use it anyway.
This is exactly what might point was. When used in the right way they will be required competitively because they would be used to get the first kills of a match and hence gain the advantage.
