I think everyone i play with agrees that since the LRM buff there have been way too many LRM boats returning. Even before this buff, when I would use my twin AMS mech I could only take out a few missiles at a time.
Now that LRM velocity has increased and people are spamming them more than ever, we need a way to actually fight back against them. Current AMS is absolutely useless unless half the team has it.
Just played a match with the triple AMS Nova we were given, and even with 3 AMS and the skill to make them stronger, I couldn't even protect myself from a Mad Dog using LRM 10s...

AMS could really do with a big range increase, or do some area damage. Also it seems like with multiple AMS on one mech, they all focus one missile at a time instead of multiple.

Um... If every mech that could take AMS, took just 1 and 1/2 a ton of ammo, LRMs would be totally useless. A helper fox alone can bork 2 lrm boats. LRMs are quite easy to counter.

I 100% absolutely do not believe you. That Triple AMS Nova can neutralize the vast majority of an LRM80 volley...

I'd actually go back to the age old bring in accuracy arguments. Make indirect LRM spam less accurate.

It already is... It's at effectively 50% effectiveness when you don't have line of sight with Artemis.
