Take one! no ECM problems anymore!
Seriously, do you think with seperation you won't see this? there are more clan mechs with ECM incoming. Think about 3 direwolfs, a timber wolf and two hellbringers...

I will put it that way for you. There is still the slight chance you are not an awful troll:
I am so tired of Atlasses and catapults beeing protected by a kitfox with ecm!
I am srsly thinking about going back to sims 4 untill they fix this.
And *insert random rant*.
You do know that you can counter ECM not only with a BAP but with...well yeah ECM?
Edit:
Not to mention TAG and NARC. UAV.
Or just direct fire weapons and the good old line of sight.

No it's not a troll and you can't counter multiple ecm had one match recently whilst carrying LRM which I don't do much cause it's pointless atm when the enemy team had 2 ddc's a kitfox and 4 Is light all with ecm so what the hell counters that NOTHING

Actually 90% of IS lights with ECM run off, lone wolf and use their ECM as personal stealth fields. Clan lights on the other hand actually tend to stick with the team due to their much slower speeds (one of the reasons Clan teams outperform IS teams).
Also I had a lovely Wolverine totally dominate my ECM covered Dire Wolf last night. Honestly it was comical how easy of time he had with me and I have to totally acknowledge the reason he beat me so badly....superior piloting skills. He actually used cover very well and kept shifting around the cover in totally unpredictable patterns which combined with my Dire's poor turn and twist characteristics allowed him to pop out and fire before I could re-adjust aim and do more than clip him now and again. It was very frustrating to say the least because most players just stand out in the open and let me unload on them and he just wasn't cooperating with me in that regard.
Point, try using tactics and piloting skill.....they works wonders.

The easy counter to ECM is Direct Fire Weapons and looking at your opponent. It works for my Lasers, PPCs and ACs...

yeah the problem with that is if you can see them they can see you
and a direwolf carrys more direct firepower than any thing else in the game
not something you want to face down in anything other than another direwolf or a timberwolf
iv gota say i completely agree with Excalabur50
it goes both ways too, the IS have their own sets of powerful units and Clans do too
but in group que at least, all we see is the most powerful units of both sides mixed into one terrifying force and anyone not bringing these ultra combos is getting destroyed faster ice in a heat wave
its pretty stupid to see 2x Atlas DDC 1xDirewolf backing 3x Timberwolfs and 3xStormcrows , with a mix of raven,spider,kitfox,jenner,ember
the only weapons that work are direct fire and if you try to go toe to toe with them you get removed from existence
i dont understand why they have not switched over to Clan vs IS full time

Of course you can. They hit where you point if you have no lock. I am able to hit quite good with them without a lock.
Plus: don't use LRM. Use direct fire.

You don't want to do face to face long range standoffs against Dires and Timbers. Heck you don't even want to that against IS mechs like the Jager or a Stalker.
The key to dispose of them is to force them close up and get them from an angle: Fast out of cover shoot for the face or ST fast back to cover repeat until it is dead.
What the big clanmechs have in firepower they severely lack in agility. Abuse that.
