Perhaps you should tell us what 'Mech you are running and what equipment you have on it so we can better understand the situation, because a great many of us feel that Locusts (and Lights in general) are entirely too easy to dispatch.

[Bombast]

Or, when a Locust shows up, just run to a friendly so they can see whats going on. They go down pretty fast when two or more people can track them.

If they bother you that much, run a Streak Crow for a while. Guarantee they won't mess with you then.

The Pixie is a legitimate contender for the award of worst mech in the game, right down there with Vindicators and Spider 5V's.

Nearly everything seems overpowered when compared against them.

Every locust pilot on the forums right now after learning you're a free kill.

[JC Daxion]

Or if you run clans you could add a bank of streak 6's.. Even one will make locusts run for the hills

This is part of the problem with balance in this game. At lower tiers, lights and LRMs are OP. At higher tiers, it's the opposite. PGI tries to meet in the middle for balance, but that ruins the game. You need to balance from the top down, assume equally skilled and competent players. So life sucks for a tier 5 assault going against a tier 3 Locust, I feel for the guy, but there's not really much that can be done about it. The Locust has long been a joke mech at the competitive level, and is becoming more so with every patch as scrubs keep screaming "nerf".

With what weapons, though? Larger lasers will demand more from your ability to hold a burn; I don't have trouble with it, but some might.

I have never had a problem with a Locust. Have I been killed by them? Sure, but never did I once think it was unfair.

The locust hero is my favorite, just jump on top of a rock or small building and watch them flee in terror.

Small Lights can be annoying to hit if there is significant ping difference. I could perform much better, if my reaction time not is delayed by 0.2 second, thanks to my current ping.

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

How'd you manage to grind through enough matches to get to tier 1 and still not be able to hit a Locust while in a fast 45 tonner with arm mounted weapons?

[S 0 L E N Y A]

Dont even get me started on the dreaded lurm locust

Biggest issue I have with them is when they face hug me. I can't bring weapons to bear on them and I can't kick the stuffing out of the little s_its.
