Sounds Fair - let's also buff ECM with a scattering field that defuses energy weapons as well.

[Nothing Whatsoever]

They're annoying on certain maps, I'll give you that. But there are plenty of ways to counteract them.

And generally the least effective one is the LRM 20s, as a single launcher, with their wider spread than the rest.

Being on both sides of the LRM rain, I can confidently say Radar Derp and smart positioning make LRMs a non-issue.

Obvious troll is obvious.

1/10 troll attempt.

[Flutterguy]

You mean UP. Easy spelling mistake. LRMs are so underpowered that hardly anyone even bothers taking AMS anymore.

[Palor]

I only put AMS on my assaults and my slow heavy. All my other mechs are able to get to cover.

And with 2 total posts you obviously haven't been around long enough to know they are currently the MOST nerfed weapon in the game, and almost totally useless in higher ELO's
Playing smart is the easiest way to counter act them

OPs been here for going on two years?

[Barkem Squirrel]

With the quirks and range extenders there are mechs out there that can fire and hit at over 1200m. The scary part is how many more missiles will hit at 200 to 400 m? Then again I have torn apart mechs at over 1100m when they were running away. Leg'em and then just rain on them when they can not run away being the last light alive on the other team.

I stand corrected...?

[NephyrisX]

Any bets on this turning into a LRM-***-ECM thread where both sides scream at each other to no avail?

[GeneralArmchair]

Missile boats are the game's most obnoxious weapon. No other weapon system gives you advance warning and assaults your screen with a combination of warning lights and explosion spam.

They are also one of the game's weakest before you even take ECM into account.

[One Medic Army]

If LRMs are killing you, all I can say is you're either so outflanked it wouldn't matter what's shooting at you, or your positioning needs some serious work.

Its clear to see your new here. LRMs, yes, they seem very OP to a new player. However, you will learn to adapt to them and move from cover to cover and learn to avoid them, or you will QQ forever.

I to used to think they were the most OP thing in the game, I then learned to move with cover, where they might be firing from and not to be so aggressive. LRMs rarely even lock on me anymore, they fire, but typically, unless im in a bad spot, I can dive into cover. THeir damage overall sounds and feels alot worse then it is to. I have an LRM30 Mad Dog with Artemis, it takes me like 400 rockets to kill the Training grounds Awesome.....

So, if you are dying to LRMs you need to learn to move better, react quicker and try to keep a quick cover route close by.

I used to get absolutely demolished by LRMs as well...once on Forest Colony, I took my Warhawk, stood on a hill and before I had lock off me, I had no back armor, stripped just about everywhere and I think an arm gone.....it was like 15s solid of LRMs.....

LRMs are actually quite bad....

Two matches in a single day you died to LRMs? That's plenty for a week...maybe they should be damngraded after all.

[Kilo 40]
