AMS is pretty much completely worthless now. Poor AMS.

[MasterErrant]

ams is not worthless. it does exactly what idt does in TT it reduces the damage you take from missiles...actually it works better here. and if you are playing in a team it works even better. as ally of your mechs will engage missiles aimed and ony of you.
I like the way ECM is affecting LRMs right now...I can get locks it just takes longer.

[DocBach]

ECM completely negates your locks if you don't have PPC's or TAG. LRMs now do very little damage and are easily avoidable by using cover and concealment. AMS is a bad thing to take right now in the state of the game.

Exactly how the Devs want it.

I was coming to argue, was met with glorious sarcasm, voted yes.

All weapon balance shalt kneel before Zod ECM.

[Donas]

Voted no, in that missile defense is not the only reason to take ECM. Being able to run a pack of mechs in non-targetable stealth mode, even with direct line of sight still makes ECM very valuable.

It's funny, i was just thinking that I should remove ecm from my DDC for sure as I can avoid what few missles are being shot, or they don't hurt much anyways. I'm even gonna rip it off my 3L as I use SRM and hardly see SSRM's unless its on an ECM mech that can counter mine anyways. The stealth ninja atlas is pretty silly anyways,

The best counter to ECM is a cup of water on the dash so you can see the tremors of a mech stomping towards you. If only there was equipment that could beat a cup of water, but ECM probably sends nulifiying vibrations threw the ground too. It's super like that.
