I, personally, will run with LRMs if I want a change of pace. But my emphasis is on "Run." I do quite well in my Founder's Catapukt with XL300, TAG, 2 LRM15 and 3 ML. Haven't died yet this weekend in that build, but have plenty of points from my aggressive front-line LRM Boating. LRMs work great up close when the firing line has cover between me and the enemy, as any brawling teammate of mine with a target lock gets instant support.
LRMs are tricky to use well, and give a good feeling of satisfaction when they generate good results. However, this "no-skill weapon" requires skill to use effectively against decent opponents.

I've had people laser poke a target I dumped ammo on exclusively. It dies, I get the assist + KMDD bonus and the challenge point.
LRMs are generally lousy for kill efficiency but excellent for bludgeoning something.

4xALRM15 + 12t LRM ammo, nuff said.
Everyone knows LRMs and SRMs are all about raw bulk damage. I rarely every run LRMs, so I thought why the f*** not?

I don't know about you, but staring at a Red, shooting at a Dorito, and not being able to damage him because he isn't incompetent?
******* annoying.
Direct fire plz, it actually gets results.
Hunch poptart is pretty fun.

Think I got 8 KMD in my first ten matches where I was playing with my Marauder's and Stormcrows (eliting my last few variants) and then I switched over to the Firebrand for 4-5 matches and got 9.
Different playstyles, different results. With my Stormcrows and my Marauders its all about the pinpoint on the CT. With my Firebrand it was using the high mounted dual AC 10's to blast them as much as possible.

Currently at 18 points after 20 pug matches, should be around 30 points :/

and when an event requires kills, everyone comes out of the woodwork to complain how LRMs are kill stealers.
Well, they can be. The thing is, in this event, it doesn't matter if your LRMs kill the Mech or not, just that you do more than, what, 50% of the damage?
Bottom line, every time PGI does an event that says, "**** teamwork, get points for being selfish", half the playerbase show up in LRM boats and the entire game revolves around hiding in cover because, god forbid you try to brawl * Warning: Incoming Missiles* oh **** it.
