Why would promoting base attacking in a base attack mode be bad? I know a lot of people hate objectives over stompy mech killing but isn't a change of pace good occasionally?

Why not. If you expend effort to achieve a victory, it should be rewarded.

It promotes Escort and bumrushing bases (Which is, on most maps, usually a losing strategy) instead of helping the team. There's literally nothing good here.

Well as you would put it only if the teams really bad.. Honestly anything new and different is a good thing over what we have now.. But yes i can see where you're coming from.

I know i'm a minority but i personally really like escort for these reasons

It takes both teams out of their comfort zones
It promotes Brawling on most maps
Its over instantly the Escort gets to its location or dies, unlike Incursion where everyone must sit and stare at a base as one mech limps across the map to hit it.

If someone's rushing the base on almost any map (Besides sometimes Crimson Straights), they're bad and throwing. Anyone willing to throw the match to go and try and hog turret kills is being bad.

I do not agree with this premise. Being new is not automatically good.

It is with current gameplay, but hey either way i'm glad PGI added more for future events.

At least it'd make wrecking a base worth more than a bad move as your team gets shot to pieces without you, considering mowing down the entire base would then be the logical thing to do.

How does UAV Locked Damage work?

I was really struggling with "Counter ECM Locked Damage"

I brought a whole dropdeck of ECM mechs, and countered by little heart out, but alas, people simply didn't shoot the countered mechs, and it took me like 6-8 drops to get a single one..
