I do not post much but LRM's are a complete joke.

I don't want to hear how you counter what tactics to use etc.

When you are targeted by one individual on the other team every single mech can then unleash their payload on you.

When someone targets you not every PPC shoots at you at the same time. THE small maps especially are absolutely horrible now with the NEW LRM's.

You do no take a support weapon and make it absolutely dominate the battlefield so bad that the entire teams tactics and ONLY tactic is to avoid the OP support weapon.

I don't want to hear do this do that, blah, blah, blah. The facts are that LRM's are just too powerful in their current state. They are completely dominating everything about each and every single match.

I don't care about the lack of skill etc.

WITH 8 errr I mean 12 Mechs on the field of battle it is jus tooooo OVERPOWERED. And ams is useless we all know that don't even try to argue that or any other counter is even remotely effective.

Nice...you liked your own post. That's a good start.

You're pretty clueless about how they're supposed to work, then, aren't you. Against ECM, LRMs are nearly useless, because ECM is what's really OP. LRMs have a very difficult time knocking down Light 'Mechs, because they move so fast and, if you're in an LRM primary 'Mech and you get a single Light 'Mech on you, you're a goner unless you can get back to your people fast enough.

Right now, the LRMs are actually kind of weak, and tough to play with. Where I was getting an average of 12 kills over 10 games -I know, that's not much, but it's good enough for me- before they moved the LRMs server-side for HSR testing, I have gotten now three kills in just over 20 games over this past week. Don't go blowing up about LRMs, because what you're saying is simply not factual. The moment I get a lock on a bad guy, and even with my Advanced Targeting Decay on, I lose targets so quickly in many PUG games, and I'm hitting the R key so much, I'm surprised the letter hasn't worn off, yet.

You got a few bad games, you didn't maneuver well enough, you didn't use your terrain or appropriate cover, and you got ganked by a lot of bad guys carrying LRMs. Sucks to be you.

Even CoD would involve too many tactics for him...

Steering Wheel underhive is the only place LRMs dominate.

I will say that you're pretty doomed if you're on a team where half the players don't know how to maneuver to deal with it. Its not something that you'll see in more serious competition however.
