You know how I know it'll suck? Because out of the 8 hero mechs (not counting the lights) that will be used for the event, 4 can be LRM BOATS. Then there's the Firestarters and Huginns running around handing locks to their fellow teammates and popping UAVs.

Now, I know that playing LRM boats aren't very exciting or great, but for some reason a lot of people like to turn anything they can into LRM boats, so expect a lot of them.
Anyways. here's some supporting evidence on the mechs' LRM potential:


Kintaro Hero
Missile Weapon Cooldown12.5%
Missile Weapon Heat Generation-12.5%
5x LRM5 + 14tons ammo ( 2520 ammo )

Trebuchet Hero

Missile Weapon Cooldown10%
Missile Weapon Range10%
4x LRM5 + 13tons ammo ( 2340 ammo )

Orion Hero

Missile Weapon Cooldown 15%
LRM 40 + 10.5tons ammo

HBK-GI / HBK-GI2

Now imagine dropping in Caustic Valley this weekend... with most of your teammates piloting the hero mechs for the event and so no one has ECM...

Good Luck Have Fun!

Yes, it means a lot of people who can't play will be easy prey if you grow a pair and hunt them down.

Perhaps...but wolves in sheep's clothing are hardly easy prey. I run a multitude of platforms (even LRMs) just for fun. LRMs can be absolutely lethal.

against skilled players, LRMs effectiveness is the exception though, not the rule. Even in PUG drops. Jman is brutal with them, I'm no slouch, you and a handful of others. Most? Just bads.

Kitty, that build is satirical. The whole point is that it's a bad idea.

i would thought it was satirical if it didn't have back-up weapon and it has a pretty serious back up with 2 large lasers... that satire is too thin for me :3

That's the way they play ALL events. That's why I don't care for events anymore and quit playing if LRM rain get's annoying. The ruin the game with these stupid events. Except for the drooling kids that see this as another Counter Strike.
