I've tried to counter it, I've shutdown my mech. They can still get a lock. I have run around corners hoping that some of the missiles would hit the terrain but there is no way in hell you can avoid those things. I've even climbed one of the pillars on tourmaline to try and ninja the little craps, only to be sniped by the god srms from 300+ meters in the air.
You haven't tried hard enough. Or better said, you're thinking along older/non-effective lines. The methods you are deploying are outdated.

There's always a countermeasure.
Indeed there is. Read the following below:

I always know when it is coming and unless you are in a tight group of mechs all with double AMS, you are going to be hurting.
This ^^. It has been the most effective method vs. Clan Streakboats. Not just one, but a group of them. You may still get some damage, but it's won't diminish your effectiveness to get to the intended goal(s).

Take a FSH vs a Streakcrow, Streakcrow wins the vast majority of the time. You would need to have a poor streakcrow pilot vs an elite FSH pilot for the FSH to stand a chance at winning.
You've taken the wrong variant/loadout vs. the Streakboat.

That's because the most popular FS9 build is the FS9-A with 8 SPLs, which have a post-quirk max range of 236 just over 250 meters, which is well inside of the range of even Inner Sphere Streaks. Just 1 medium laser would enable an FS9 to engage StreakCrow builds from outside maximum Streak range.
FS9-A IS indeed the most popular build because it is a monstrous brawling light (and odds are will be the most effective vs. a certain light Omni due to release soon). However, it is NOT the most effective light vs. streakboats. FS9-S sporting Med. Pulses and Dual AMS is. It's been proven over recently on numerous occasions.
