In honor of recent efforts to butcher ECM. Butcher ECM, fix ECM. Same thing. The end result isn't likely to be better than butchering/fixing jump jets. The close association between fixing and butchering things in this game isn't a false equivalence,

I call upon the community to remind everyone why ECM is necessary.

Thus, I'm declaring the period of time from now till ECM changes go into effect the: LRM LOLOCAUST ERA.

I will be on a lot.

I will drop often in LRM boats.

The pain will be real. The tears of my victims will be drowned in LOL's.

People will remember why ECM is necessary and realize those calling for ECM to be nerfed are most certainly incorrect in their assessments.

I call upon you, the community to do the same.

Bring your lurm boats. i need to pad my stats some moar.

If you think that there's nothing wrong with the current implementation of ecm then you have issues.

[Asyres]

I'll keep taking cover, and mostly not taking damage from LRMs.

Deal?

Empty words from both of you.

I think if either of you still played this game on a regular basis, you would quickly be rid of your misconceptions.

[Yiphyin]

You're going to remind people about the problems with ECM/LRMs by annoying people with your LRM boats?

Isn't that defeating your own purpose here?

[Monkey Lover]

Keep taking cover until my team has time to flank around you

[Carrie Harder]

Okay.

I've been in a pug match where half the team was literally LRMboats. The enemy crested over the hill and just drove right through us. One of those rare moments where a pug team decides to rush. They tore apart our regular loadout guys since they had close in numerical advantage. Then they picked off lrmboat after lrmboat. I myself was piloting my Loup de Guerre boat and died as the last boat standing thanks to the speed of my build ;p

LRM's have never been a well implemented weapon system in MWO. To simplistic to use and their effect varies wildly based on factors that are almost completely out of the users control. Sad thing is this is another lesson PGI never seems to learn, as anyone old enough to remember the week long LRM Hell (when they overbuffed their damage and gave them a 90 degree decent arc) can tell you.

My drops number in the tens of thousands and have played this game almost every day for at least an hour minimum since i got into closed beta, i have a large w/l ratio and a decent kdr and almost never die to lrms.
Try again.

The idiocy in the proposal is staggering.

I've played about 6 hours this week. LRMs are not a significant issue, except on specific maps with inadequate vertical cover (notably caustic). I'm confident in saying this in part because they are my least common cause of death.

[Lyoto Machida]

Perhaps he's in a low ELO bracket or he's got real good NARC lights spotting for him?

[XxXAbsolutZeroXxX]

Maybe I was in a low ELO bracket before.

I'm used to 600-1000 damage games with an LRM boat with no tag.

Maybe if ECM is nerfed I can average 800-1k damage in a higher ELO bracket.

From tonight.

Hopefully I will run into some of the naysayers in this thread at some point.

OP, you have no idea what a lurmpocalypse is like. And we had only one real of those and that had nothing to do with ECM or no ECM.


We had LRMs way before ECM and they where not OP. Indeed they where so weak you could literally run in a medium mech straight to the lrm boat and punch his face with maybe yellow armor.

And after that LRM got stronger but still weren't OP.



If you need ECM to not get killed by LRMs I have some bad news for you.
