New LRMs are great....

but it brings out ECM and we're right back to having entire teams walk around invisible again...

PGI do what we're paying you for and fix the freaking game.

[LoneMaverick]

brings out ECM?

...are you suggesting you haven't been playing games with atleast 2-3 ECM per team, if not more, before the LRM balance?

[Eddrick]

It could be worse. They could be transparent like this Raptor 2 with the Chameleon Light Polarization Shield

[Foxfire]

It's funny because I've actually been seeing a spread of weights that haven't been in this game for a long time.

Difference is, in battle tech, that thing couldn't boat PPC's due to a faulty hardsystem and have pinpoint damage on top of it.

On the bright side, at least it's not an invisible Atlas - DDC with all of the above.

.....oh wait.

This thread has everything! Nerf LRMs, Nerf ECM, Nerf boating, Nerf PPCs, Nerf pin point damage, Nerf Atlases (specifically the D-DC). Bravo!

They need to be careful, or they`ll end up like this guy...

yea because ECM was VERY uncommon before the LRM speed increase.....

I'm suggesting that I've been noticing quite a few games of 5 and 6 ecm per team.

I didn't suggest that anything be nerfed, but way to over react. Hell the word nerf doesn't even apply to ECM b/c it doesn't do damage....hence it can't hit hard.... hence it can't be made to hit less hard by making the bat out of foam.... b/c you get the reference and all right

This is a natural process of cyclical imbalance which is actually a desirable trait for a never ending metagame.

Illustrative example:



Now why aren't these youtube vids showing automatically like they used to....

What I've never understood is the need for ecm's "stealth" mode in a game with LOS radar.

Don't need to actually be sneaky and hunt your opponent from outside LOS of his radar, just equip an ecm.

I mean, I can't be the only one that thinks stealth should be gained from skilled movement and awareness rather than a 1.5 ton piece of equipment?

Everything except...Buff Lasers! Buff SRMS!!!!

(which they totally need to do...)

Passive and active sensors ... another thing PGI promised but never delivered.

If that was in before ECM we would have had a different game and a different ECM

Last time I checked: Less than 5 =/= "VERY uncommon", so yet again

Oh look someone else bringing up things that the thread never mentions. Real pro readers here.

[Lyoto Machida]

Lol...another awesome thread by TS. The same guy who accused people of using a "cheat" called Teamspeak in one of my games.

[KharnZor]

Yay yet another ecm is op thread.

You will have to excuse us... We went through 16 ECM on the field at a time already(8man)... Its nothing new for us really.
