Also keep in mind that Light rushing gens only works in one very small, specific scenario: Attacking.

In Counterattack mode, Omega is basically pointless. In defense, you can't exactly Light rush the attackers gens, though you could Light rush their drop zone.

In any event, teams that rely on a 3 Light rush are not going to experience long term success. I'm sure they'll feel proud in the near term, but eventually people will realize that there is a way to shut down that sort of team down.

One solution for the PUG-in-a-hurry I can imagine could be to eject thrice and then quickly start to TK each other. This way they get back into the queue in the shortest amount of time and can hope to get a fair match next round.

I actually suggested something similar in one of my earlier threads (which got removed, much to my ire.) The only bad thing is, you're likely to get yourselves suspended for doing so.

Thus, what I end up doing is keep the black flag of the Lone Wolf hoisted & avoid CW like the Black Death (pun not intended.)

Cheese people always say there is a way to defend against the cheese... but the truth is, we cant. We cant bring 3 waves of SSRMs boats, IS can bring 3 waves of firestarters.

What? Last I checked the Stormcrow was a fine streak boat and is 55 tons and one of the few Tier 1 mechs in the whole of CW.

You can actually run 3 streakcrows and a timberwolf in the clan drop deck if you're that terrified of IS light rushes.

I much prefer massed SPLs and MPLs.

Look, just because they can equip a SCR with 6x SPL S-SRM18 (3t) and an ERLL with BAP doesn't mean its okay for the IS to use Light rushes.
