Consider this: A stromcrow can bring 3x A-LRM10, 6t of ammo, 5 ER-SML as backup and while armoured less moves (read: repositions) much faster.

If you bring less tubes, less ammo or less backup firepower than that, you're doing something wrong.

I don't take your commentary seriously. Every post by you that I've had the misfortune to read has been laced with passive-aggressive statements and ad-hominem attacks on anyone you deem to be of lesser value than yourself.

I play this game to have fun, not as a career. You should maybe stop taking shits on people so much and just accept that not everyone is going to play the way YOU think they should play.

I'm sorry. Would you like some unconstructive critiques instead?

Your "fun" is at the cost of the people playing with you. You take the already abysmal capacity of LRMs to contribute and manage to barely bring down a single target in three games, and survive approximately one in five of them. Thanks to PGI's utterly generous PSR system, you are barely in the range to continue to advance in tiers, where you will continue to have "fun" at the expense of the other 11 players on your team until you hit T3+, at which point you will end up in the churning mass of T1-T3 players that the matchmaker considers perfect for making teams out of. You don't have to play like I do, but believe me, as you've marched up from T5, you're going to find yourself used as target practice far too often in an LRM boat, something your gradually slipping number of wins, kills, and match score will attest to. And you will not have fun, because bad lurmboats are insult magnets and your lack of contribution will wave that sign for every one that wants someone to cover in salt to dig out that shaker, gouge you a wound, and dump it on. Eventually, you'll even get to the point where you get greeted by "accidental" backshots, leggings, and so on as a bad lurmer, because there are people who will go past saying "This is bad" to encouraging you to find another game such as Hello Kitty Island Adventure by every method available. For them, this is also "fun", and if it's just another garbage-tier lurmer, you will even find the people who don't shoot you are amused by the results and happy to join in the chorus of insults.

From experience. And I don't think of myself as bad with LRMs, even if I hate what PGI's done to them. You either get good enough, learn something and let your kill count/score shut them up as you're in the same line wrecking robots, or end up in one of the most toxic places in the game if you like using LRMs.

Lrm Atlases are great. Just stick a lrm 10 or 15 on it and put an ac20 and srm's on it.
Just fire the lrms and wait for the first medium to try and gank you its great fun.
Surprise sucker!
