I started running a 3xLRM 15 and 1xLRM 10 AWS 8R with Artemis and TAG a few weeks ago, and ended up with a KD ratio of about 5, with matches frequently ending on 600-1k damage plus 4-6 kills. Occasionally I'd get rolled by a premade or sync drop who had more LRMs than I did, or my lacklustre positioning would get me killed, but for the most part I melted so many faces it was unbelievable.

I felt so incredibly dirty.

It took zero skill from me and I do mean ZERO to obliterate hapless mechs from 300m out while running from them at 68kph with the 8R's amazing torso twist. I simply stood a few hundred metres from the majority of my team facing the front line and waited for an enemy to brawl before obliterating them. Occasionally some twit would snipe instead, so I'd lay down blind fire with a single launcher until we got in close enough to end them. The combination of TAG, artemis flight path, low heat build up and realisation that LRMs are NOT A SNIPER WEAPON proved too strong for 50 - 100% of the enemy team.

PGI, from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to sincerely thank you for sorting out these idiotic weapons. There will always be people taking advantage of cheesey builds because humans gravitate toward the path of least resistance, but I believe that this was a step in the right direction and although there are many, many threads and posts already thanking you for your diligence, one more thank-you can't hurt can it

Cheers!
