I never really paid attention to when people used to complain about ECM before. It didn't bother me that much because only certain mechs could run it. But since the Kit Fox has entered the picture it seems like there is just way too much ECM all the time. Almost every variant i've seen of the kit fox they all carry that ECM arm.
And when i meant there's too much ECM on the battlefield i mean that too many mechs are under ECM cover at all times.
ECM should be branched out into two different piece of equipment. The current ECM would have the same effect it does now but only for the mech carrying it. The second ECM would be double the weight and provide the bubble protection that covers other mechs, maybe even another minor attribute.
So you would have scouts/harassers as one role option and then a support mech role ECM but the price would be that the ECM is heavier since it protects more than just the individual mech. I think this would help cut down on the permanent ECM shield i've been witnessing in every single match.

Hopefully things will balance out once more clan mechs are available to C-bills.

ECM is really pissing me off lately. 2 or 3 can nullify radar and an entire weapon group!!!!

Aw yes, the good old KFX-FULRMS Omnipod.
That said, what needs a fix are the game's locking mechanics, not ECM. If there's no "radar invisibility blanket" in the game the possibility of flanking maneuvers diminishes, as if anyone in the flanking gets exposed for even a fraction of a second to a member of the enemy team's peripheral radar the enemy will get a radar ping.

The only issue I have is when one team has several ecm mechs and the other has none. Happens a lot.

Let me know when you have to fight a team of three raven 3ls, three cada 3ms, and three ddcs. Be happy heavies don't have ecm yet. The only reason to use a non ecm variant is because you have to get basic and elite on the two non ecm mechs in order to have them on the one ecm mech.
