Also, LRMs do not balance poptarts. Low skill pilots will ALWAYS flock to the easiest to do tactic because they lack the ability to do anything except that. The only thing a resurgence in poptarts indicates is that LRMs aren't easy mode anymore.
You didn't even read my post did you? You saw someone pointing out an issue with LRMs and just assumed I was a whiner being killed by them.
you said that you where getting cored all the time, While running my dual LRM 15 catapult the only times I've cored people are if they're running directly away from me or towards me, ergo you must be staring at the LRMs or running away from them. Also your logic on your first comment is flawed in that it is mostly based on assumption

Paul, I am going to have to ask that you do the right thing and finally just remove splash damage from the game.
I have played maybe 10 games since the hotfix and twice I have been cored by Streaks and LRMs in my Blackjack. It's not as bad as it was before the hotfix, but the mechanic is still not being implemented properly. You need to move the targeted locations further away from the center torso, or really, just flat-out remove splash damage. It is broken, has been broken, and you have shown that you cannot fix it. Please, just stop this nonsense and do the right thing.
you're in a lightly armored medium of course you're going to die if you get hit

keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.
my first game of the day, figured i'd try LRMs for the first time since before the May 21 patch.... they felt just right IMO. Definitely more effective than the last time I used my LRM Trenchbucket
I don't recall saying they were "perfectly fine"
in fact, IIRC, i called for them to have a faster velocity, among other things.
i do recall arguing that they were not useless though, despite popular opinion. I had fun with them and had quite a few successful games.
doing 600dmg does not make a weapon OP I don't see what you're trying to point out here.
