this is another incredibly weird thing for you to say because good players will almost never get killed by LRMs
I'm not top tier and I can't remember the last time I was anything but inconvenienced by LRMs
and again: if your super awesome meta build is owning top-tier players with bracket builds on the regular, where's the proof? reminder that you are not allowed to photoshop this time.
Photoshop? When have I ever photoshoped?
All you need to do is bring LRMs to a fight that has no AMS.
No AMS, ideally no or minimal ECM, and fire. Just like any other weapon it has a chance of succeeding or failing. Success is just quite a bit higher when the missiles aren't being shot down 5 to 15 at a time by local AMS use. Supplement multiple mechs doing this while escorted by some laser meta providing both direct fire and defense and you'd have a hard nut to crack.
