i think if you got some support match score for firing down some missiles headed for your targeted team mates it would bring some incentive to bring it not just for the lurmfest. I'd say .05/.1 pts per missile destroyed only if they were targeting a nearby ally? getting upwards of 100-200 extra pts for 2000 ammo. something along these lines

or added to your overall damage? .1 damage added per missile shot down?

Russ said he plans on doing something to to reward ams users. This might be way he does. We will see, maybe he will say at the town hall.

Yeah, we've been begging for this for a long time. A small c-bill award per missile targeting a blue team member your AMS destroys.

It should happen. But if it does, I'll probably shelve LRM's immediately. AMS would be a given at least on c-bill grinding mechs, and just a couple AMS pretty much make a LRM free bubble.

The upside would be, it would help LRM's not be the monsters they are at low-tier gameplay. It wouldn't really impact high tuer play much. This brings the gap in effectiveness@tier closer, so we can finally get some proper balancing work on LRM's after so long.

As things currently stand, LRM's are pretty weak at high tier, but strong at low tier, so any buff makes them grossly OP in low tier, while any nerf makes them bad at an even lower tier than currently. Either way, they get worse.

Funny, I thought there was already a reward in that you help your team win by saving them from losing a couple of tons worth of armour...

But whatever. If it helps to get LRM's buffed (which i doubt) I'll accept just about anything

Today I saw, how AMS fires right through floor at HPG manifold, lol.
