i know what u mean. streaks are an easy way of playing. but i still think they are not op.there are people who rely on easy playable builds, but if they stay at these, they will never become realy good pilotes.
i also think, if u have a team with 4 to 6 ravens/comandos with ecm and streaks it is realy hard to counter them.
and it is totaly true, that you or i would always die when it cames to a 1v2 with these.
but i still belive these builds are some kind of raptor builds and like in nature the best protection against raptores is grouping.
surely there are teams who specialise and a well mixed up theam will have a fight.
imagine there are 1. a pure brawler team, 2. a pure lrm team, 3. a pure ecm/streak/light team 4. a ppc team and 5. a well mixt team. if they all know how to play their mecs i belive the following will happen:
brawler vs lrm --> who makes the first mistake loses. kind of rolling dice here.
ppc vs lrm --> lrm loses
brawler vs ppc --> ppc would win (not every time, but most the time)
ecm vs lrm/brawler/ppc --> yes, ecm would nearly always win
but well mixt vs the rest --> it would be an interesting an hard game every time. but thanks to scouts of the well mixt, the would know every time what they are facing. and they dont rely on a special tactic. they can react. and even if they loose a cupple of times, they can learn. in every mach the have a fair chance to win. and this is why i belive that ecm-streak-fleas are not op.
and something i missed: ams can take down streaks too. one ams cant do much, but is anyone in a team has one and a raven shoots his streaks in the middle of 3 to 5 ams, maybe one out of the 4 streaks will reach its target.
this is what i belive and no missquoting will change that
