ELO has no difference in whether or not LRMs work or not. If you have a good team and get in good positions you can do well with LRMs in any ELO bracket. Luck plays a part in every match as well, being in good position, people holding locks, and not sticking your nose out too far as well.

Nah if LRM's are such a problem we obviously should just remove LRM's.

I mean imagine a game where people have no fear of being out in the open. Imagine a game where half the mechs in the universe are without their main loadout or invalidated.

Splat Cats, Boom Stalkers,

Clearly we don't need a weapon that has a mechanic different from pointing and clicking furiously. It isn't like there is some dichotomy between ECM and LRM's that has caused this black and white issue of hard counters. It isn't like there needs to be fundamental changes to both.

Pfft. You don't even know how PGI is going to change the ECM, if at all. Create this thread after you see the actual change.

Well it is Missiles we are discussing.

kinda does look like the sky is falling donchathink?

Hence why I chose that particular quote.

Now if only it looks like that in my games...unfortunately all I see are lasers and ACs, and the actual weapon that kills me most of the time is Gauss.  Go figure.

Oh you can see that on occasions. It is impressive to watch... even if Betty is telling you... "you're next"

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.

...

.

I guess you missed all the posts that indicated any change to ECM will also require a rebalancing of LRMs?

It will only be a LOLOCAUST if they get it wrong

[Mcgral18]

Aw yiss, Lurm boats!

Let me devour your legs! Your ammo will explode, and tear through your internal structure! PAD MY STATS Lurm boats.


The Wub is an excellent Legging platform.



I also dropped into a pug match last night, only had time for one. 8 kills, 1000 damage. Wub is OP, plz nerf.

Shall I post some Epeen when I get to my desktop?

I look forward to tearing you apart, though.

Ah, but good team is hard to find in pugs. One can find plenty of LRM QQers in it though. Not like it's their fault that they ran in the open, amirite?

Three words:

Radar Derp, trollololol.

I can't tell you the last time I died to LRM's either.....

They are not a problem also like the quote states, RADAR DERP IS KING when it comes to LRM's. I just step back and watch them hit the ground.

ECM changes are not going to make or break LRM's they will be what they are and that is a mediocre weapon outside of everyone else doing the work for you. You would have had NO WHERE near that damage if no one was targeting for you. I love when people post there kill stealing 700 DMG games in a no skill LRM boat. My jenner has 700-900 DMG games too and he will make short work of any LRM boat you field.

The screenshots from those three games were played within something like a 1-2 hour span.

I made this thread. Logged into the game. Took screenshots from my best games & posted them.

These aren't screenshots from 1 year ago I've been saving or collected from months of games.

You haven't been killed by LRM's in a long time?

Tell me what times you're normally on. I'll be glad to fix that for you, noob.

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.

I'm still confused why this is even an issue. It's not like the other weapons in the game don't also kill your mech, and are almost universally more efficient at doing so. Caustic doesn't HAVE to be a fight in the open around the crater with no cover. The wings have tons of cover, and provide long sight lines for mechs trying to close to deal with you in the wings. Stop playing like a dope on Caustic if you have direct fire weapons, use the advantageous terrain you have.

It isn't an issue, though I can see where you got that from my post. What I meant is that I don't find LRMs to be even remotely threatening, except occasionally on Caustic.

[wanderer]

I've got 99 problems (with ECM), but your lurm ain't one.

[duragan]

Lrms are out of control and need a huge rework all the "fixes" people talk about do not work in pugs. Yea yea here it comes then don't run in pugs well them just remove pugs or lrms I guess. There is a mile long list to why lrms are not filling there roll right now and that's just support.
