ALL LRM, NO JUMP, is symply IMPOSSIBLE, every mach same tattict, lrm and tag, next tag and lrm.

Try standing behind things.

If you're consistantly getting pwn'd by LRMs, then maybe you SHOULD be playing something else...

[Locutus239]

Every match 3 or 4 lrm bot, how can we play, if we cant fire to them?
THX devs, my heavy metal is unusells now.
all mechs are STK with ppc or Atlas DDC with lrm.
Nice to play every time in same mode.

Totally agree with the OP!
Took my founders cat to the field for a stroll the last 2 days.
ALL LRM (bare the MLs) and NO JUMPjets. Tag and Lrm, Lrm and Tag, every match the same tactic. Was simply IMPOSSIBLE to do significant damage or to reliably kill stuff. THX DEVs!
Switching back to my 3MG 2LPL founders hunch now. More damage and more fun...

I run LRMs on my Atlas because:

• SRMs are useless and not worth the damage you take getting close enough to use them.
  
• It's better to fire behind cover (with help from your teamates) while advancing from cover to cover than it is stick your oversized torsos out to be hit by a bajillion PPCs waiting on easy targets(like big Fatlases)...

So if you don't like LRMs then blame the PPC abuse and how gimped SRMs currently are...

Part of playing in a game like this is that not everything can be good at the same time. it can be frustrating to think that you might have to sell one of the four mechs you have to get something that is good against lms, but it has to be done. There is plenty of counter play for lrms. If you are new getting the mechs that have the counter play is hard. ECM,AMS,cover,speed, are all good counters. Have you tried an ecm mech yet? It is the best counter for lrms. Commando 2d's are cheap, but the raven 3L has everything you want to survive in the current moderate lrm environment.

Pay attention to your death screen. It says what killed you. I know they buffed lrms recently, but I have still gotten killed by projectile weapons the most ppcs, ac20..

One last thing to think about. When stuff gets buffed the people use it to see how it is working. When people find out that lrms still are not all that great you will see the number off people using it going down. Just wait a couple weeks.

Shoot everything you have in the direction of the TAG

I dunno, it's not quite the same kind of claim. It's more like he just smashed his face on the keyboard and the letters "L" "R" and "M" just so happened to come up...
