LRM speed is still to slow compare to ordinance used today.

They need moar buffs. As the most skill-dependent weapon in the game, they need to be easier for everyone to succeed with!

yeah no, that's not how argument works. When you argue, you bring proof to support your argument, otherwise it's just OPINION, and I disagree with your OPINION.

Argument is a discussion of objective fact, opinion is not.

Read as : No skill LRMers and lights with NARC are ruining my fun of playing point-and-click adventures with my PPC/ACs.

THIS IS BROKEN, SUCH BULLSHIT

Yes cause LRMs requide not only point and Click, but need drag as well. Since you have to follow the target reasonably to keep lock. Still isn't a lot of synaptic function needed here either. And I am a supporter of Equal danger from LRMs Rok.

It's amazing how many nothing/nobody players who you can tell have no idea what they are doing come to the forums when LRM's are good.

Learn 2 Play scrubs.

Soggy has literally played the game during the PPC meta his entire time. He's never even seen LRM's used regularly until this patch.

Had some of the best matches last night. LRMs keep people in cover, almsot forcing some sort of tactics. I played 4 man, 3 man, 2 man, and solo pugged it for a bit.

Lost more than I won, but killed more than died. Only a couple bad steamrolls, most of the matches were damn close and good battles.

I'm also loving that my QKDs are now more useful than ever (100KPH QKD, get that thing behind the enemy LRMs. Chaos ensues ;))

Also seeing much more action in tunnels / underground spots because of cover. Which are my favourite places to brawl it out :D

The only challenging map so far with the new LRMs is Alpine because the expanses without cover are so big (and I'm generally a close range brawler so I dig my own grave really)

You're too late OP, 25402987 other threads beat you to it. Of course anyone who says the game ISN'T ruined is a white knight. Couldn't you just have posted your "feedback" in one of the other threads?

Guys, just hit report and carry on

I never use LRM's. I only get shot by them and i think it's fine the way it is right now.

Well LRM are really low effort weapons. Might be a good idea to promote weapon systems that allow people to watch TV while playing. Will help hide other deficiencies in the game.

Dear Angy "LRMs are OP" Poster,

We Beta players and those with common sense recognize how you might be upset at this. You're semi-new, are probably not an effective pilot, and dont' understand positioning. I recognize that you have 8 posts, including this one, so you haven't raged much. Also, as Nic said, you havent' really lived in a world of "broken" LRMs so this is all new for you. Let me assure you that you wasted your time with your post but we get why. Point is, nothing changed and the only issue here is how you drive. Get better at that and you'll laugh at the entire idea of this post.

And yes, that was a really nice and sarcastic way of saying: Learn to play/play better.

Learn to play moron. If a slight buff to LRM speed "ruined" your game? You didn't have much "game" to begin with...

Eht meh gerd!!!! I have to give up 2 tons of my bestest build to take AMS now?!?!?!?! Ehr Meh Gerd! The game is ruined!

Meanwhile most of the rest of the players do just fine. If they can do just fine why is it a handful of tryhards can't? Think it might be THEM as opposed to the game? Of course not, what was I thinking? That would require a player to acknowledge they aren't nearly as "elite" as they thought they were. That would mean maybe they aren't king of the universe!
