at least the poptart meta takes skill, these LRMs are out of control, they have come to dominate every aspect of game play, half the matches no one even leaves the starting area because if they do they get killed by lrm, or they just want to sit back and shoot lrms while they drink beer because its super easy.


Lrms need a hard nerf, i suggest allowing ECM for every mech, and increasing the amount of ammo AMS gets by 50% like they did to all the other weapons

[El Bandito]

Mods please close this joke of a thread. Not like there aren't any other LRMs OP QQ threads...

Whats a matter no pickles with your cheese?

If PGI would teach these players to use cover, perhaps we wouldn't have so many of these threads.

[Bishop Steiner]

boy.... I wonder what drops you are in. Playing all day every day, and just not seeing it.

[Lightfoot]

I am not seeing that. In close matches it's always a direct-fire mech that wins. LRMs are just for support in MWO. They fulfill that role well, but that is all. Which is too bad. Where is mah Thunderbolt missile?

[Mystere]

Sigh! How many times does it have to be said?

There is a new shiny. People are trying out the new shiny. Shiny will most likely eventually lose it's luster.

Replace "shiny" with <weapon>, <mech>, <buff>, <nerf>, <whatever>.

Dont feed the troll.
This is a duplicate thread and should be closed.

Lot of missile boats to hunt down and kill now. Is fun!

LRM is still the primary weapon in EVERY match

We're STILL not seeing the same thing you are.

Please quit making me agree with FupDup...the universe will fracture at any moment here...

Being an LRM boat was much more fun before the patch. No one was out trying to hunt me. There wasn't a bunch of other LRM mechs on the other team to ruin my fun. I could just LRM all day.

Now though, I got lights pestering me to shoot at their Tagged and NARC'd targets. Enemy lights actively looking for me, and team mates that actively curse me out for bringing LRMs. I kinda miss the old days.

If the angle of the missiles wasn't so steep and cover was more plentiful (alpine and caustic come to mind) perhaps there would be less QQ.

[ArtimusClydeFrong1]

The problem isn't LRM boats, the problem is people don't know how to destroy LRM boats.

Fact - LRM's have a mimimun range of 180m.
Fact - If you are closer than 180 meters you will destroy LRM boats!

I disagree.

LRM's don't need a nerf.
AMS needs a buff!

This thread is flawed, starting from the title.

I disagree.

I agree that LRMs don't need a nerf, but I don't think AMS needs more buff.

1. AMS range got buffed last patch--from 90 meters to 120 meters.

2. AMS range module can add another 8 meters--which means max 128 meter range for AMS. That's around 40% range increase from before. And that's on par with 40% flight speed increase of LRMs, so it cancels out the LRM buff.

People should equip AMS module if they are too scared of LRMs. After all, LRM boats also need to equip modules to be viable.

Well if they played by those rules there would be very few threads on these forums. Same thing w/the anti jump snipe crowd, they spammed the boards with their incessant whining as well. Soooo...yeah.

As far as missiles go...they are not a problem/or OP, however I do think the speed could be throttled back a bit of which will be implemented next patch, so not sure why all are still crying repetitively on the issue.

The whining on these forums is overwhelming, but that is PGI's fault as they have in the past caved in to the whiners (more than once), thus enabling the whiney crowd.

Maybe if the mods did their job properly it wouldn't be a problem.
