First you'll need a mech with AMS. Don't worry, if you don't have one and can't afford a new mech because you're a cheapskate, bring a friend! If you don't have any? Make some! If you're irredeemably anti-social with no hope of conversing with others on this game? You can always buy some!
Once you've purchased (or dragged) your friend into battle, make certain that they've equipped AMS with no fewer than 8 tons of ammo. LRM spam is prevalent and you didn't really need a few more KPH from that larger engine or another half dozen DHS, did you? Or maybe just lose the large laser. Your friend isn't here to get a high match score or contribute to the team in damage, but by eliminating LRM spam!
Don't forget to invest heavily in the Survival Branch of the skill tree. Both for AMS and to survive longer in matches! If you don't have 6 points to spare? Take some from Mobility or Operations!
Rocks also provide...

Surprisingly, a roof can also be effective in preventing LRMs raining down from above and onto your poor, unsuspecting mech.
To summarize the few ways to survive the latest LRMpocalypse.
1.AMS.
2.LAMS (when available)
3.Bring a friend with AMS.
4.Bring a Unit member with AMS.
5.Buy a unit/friend with AMS.
6.Stay near rocks. They're always your friend!
7.Stay under cover, preferably, a rocky one.
8.Dodge TAG lasers.
9.Avoid NARC.
10.Bring ECM, and maybe invest in the Sensor tree.
Follow any of these simple tips and you'll be certain to survive the oncoming storm.
