the fact that a lrm scorch is even remotely effective, under any circumstance, ever, is a pretty huge indicator that the state of coward lrm warrior is off the deep end.

because obviouly using a legit weapon option in a game is an act of cowardice because it doesn't fit your image of E-masculinity"?

Lol. I read a lot of silly crap in these forums but the butthurt squealing about LRMs or anything else in a video game being a "cowards option" has to always be near the top.

sorry, I'm too busy actively making the game worse by converting the best brawling mech available into a Dad Warrior clickbot It's great, you don't even need to aim.

man I love lrms. Good combat lrm mechs that engage from 300-400m are great pilots.

Right up front where I normally play from.

This is definitely representative of most LRM play.

I'm at work now.. but on my home computer, have literally dozens of end-match screens featuring either myself or my Fiancee with solo kills and KMDDs while LRM boating..

Only this last weekend, I was on Canyon, playing in a LRM Highlander, on the PTS.. So 4 Vs 4.. I had 4 KMDDs.. and a Solo kill..

Right after, bought a Scorch on sale.. made a LRM80+2CMPL LRM boat.. first drop, unskilled.. 3 solo kills and 5 KMDDs..

Don't assume..

Dozens of screens, well that definitely disproves my point.

Did you stop to consider that you were making a point about LRMs generally, while the examples you've given here all involve you, one person, not all LRM users, not even the majority of LRM users.

That's if I choose to believe you, which frankly, I don't.

Never said everybody does that.. Just saying there are people that do.. And you should not discriminate all LRM users cose' some people don't do it..

You don't have to believe me.. I don't care if you do or don't.. screens speak for themselves..

So yeah... Nuff said..

Here's a third!




Wanna know how much skill that took? Basically none. I ran around after my team, shooting missiles at whatever was lit up. I'd stand in the open and get shot at sometimes to get locks, but I didn't have to aim, and because I was 500-600 meters out from the fighting only 1-2 people in the back of the enemy would shoot at me, the rest had bigger concerns (like the rest of my team eating their faces).

This required zero skill. I just mashed my skill button until I won. And know what's really sad? It's apparently higher than most "good" LRM scores I've seen touted in screenshots.

LOL, that's the craziest thing I've heard today....

You think that brawlers will live longer when the brawler locks a target close to him and you shoot your missiles into the brawlers back?

As soon as somebody locks an target the lurm boats will fire, regardless if there is a teammate right infront of the target...

Just because a number of LRM-totting dimwits immediately fire when a teammate gets a lock, does not mean everybody does. <smh>

Nah! If you believe some of the folks 'round here, such players are just urban legends.

I said:

Lastly, LRM boats tend to be off in the back row, not sharing armour, hiding.

Note the 'tend'. Yes there are definitely LRM pilots who play better, moving on the front lines with everyone else, sharing armor, etc. Those players are in the minority, in my experience, but I'm happy to acknowledge that that is only my anecdotal experience.

What isn't anecdotal are the facts concerning LRMs, which are:

1) They splatter the target rather than dealing precise damage
2) They have long travel time during which the target can get into cover, locks can be lost, etc
3) They are more or less countered by systems like ECM, and significantly reduced in effectiveness by things like AMS
4) Radar Deprivation significantly reduces LRM effectiveness

Furthermore, if you're going to be on the front lines sharing armour, then you might as well bring ATMs instead, which are a much better weapon, or MRMs if you're IS, which require more aim but are more versatile, and don't have counters like LRMs do.

To all the people posting damage screens, I don't give a flying ****, but if you are really desperate to show off your damage scores, no doubt padded by artillery strikes, at least post screencaps of your LRM mech's average damage.

[Shredmetal]

I see your LRM boat screenshot, and raise you my screenshot with similar damage, double your kills, and half your tonnage.



... which is why LRM players languish at the 60th percentile or worse on jarl's.

> LRM boat does 1000+ with solo kills and KMDDs..

Even if an LRM boat did do this, it wouldn't be due to his own skill, it would be because of his allies providing cover, locks, etc. In my own experience LRM boats rarely do this kind of damage, and very rarely get solo kills, KMDDs. So your assertion is pretty much nonsense.

When disproved by actual score screens...

Dude, get your facts straight..

So in conclusion, your posts can be summarized as "you use LRMs, so you suck, cose' I said so! Shut up!"

Also, just as a point of interest, I have not used an Artillery strike on anything but a light for well over a year..

And FYI, average LRM boat scores don't mean a thing.. I was just disproving your claim that LRM boats don't do solo kills and KMDDs and that I was talking nonsense..

But I guess you're gonna call me a liar anyway..

I mean, it helps that you post screenies, but every time I see you on the opposing team in your LRM Supernova you have sub-300 damage.

The irony is he would live longer, would do more effective damage, and have higher dps if he moved up with the team. But he'd rather sandbag his team and either let them get slammed inside of 5 minutes by a numbers advantage, or get slammed early on by a light or fast medium because he is too far away for his team to help.

Effective dps > dps

All day every day.
