Balance? I'll just repeat what I've expressed in past threads...

I have been yelling at my unit to get serious about map specific builds for months and they still bring garbage. What can I do when the call is Victors instead of Battlemasters? Nothing. I tell them the thousands of missiles I shot down during the match and that running the same builds would increase that rate exponentially to no avail. I can't do anything else as its not my unit to command.

Pssst, are you looking for a new unit?

So "do we need more balance".

Yet talks about a single weapon system which, generally, is one's own inabilty to counter it. In light of the recent ECM buffs as well.

LRMs are a problem, but not really for why you are saying. Issue is dual buffs they took earlier in the year. This has been discussed many times now as well.

LRMs are a problem in the same way HGauss or 4xCAC10 when defending Vitric is a problem.

There's this super narrow set of circumstances where they're strong. Otherwise, not nearly so much.

I really have started to dislike what the FP community has become. What you may ask? 97% scrubs wanting everything to work perfectly for their individual needs. 2% scrubs wanting everything to work exactly (and i mean exactly) like 1988 tabletop. 1% non scrubs who figure out the nuances of the current "balance", adapt, and continue to play to the best of their ability.

1988 was a hell of year. ******* was still hot.

I've started taking a LRM boat as my first Mech on Caustic, Polar and Alpine.

Even when we have no NARCers, that Mech will earn me 1200-1400 damage before I run out of ammo... mostly using remote locks and barely ever needing to use my TAG.

So, despite the general craziness of the original post, I do think LRMs are too strong now in the context of overall balance. Especially for a weapon that requires close to zero skill to use.

Oh, and it's boring, too.

I run a lurm boat first wave if I get those maps when it's time for food. LRMs are the only weapon that lets me be just as effective while having lunch

[HARDKOR]

I'm going to take a moment to point out that I've come back to this game super rusty, I mostly been playing black out drunk, and consequently, I've been getting slaughtered like a chicken at a Tyson plant, yet somehow, I don't have AMS on any of my mechs, and not one single time has someone killed me with a LRM.

Honestly clan and IS are the most balanced it's been in a while, not because of tech, but because of skill, and the ability to abuse it.

Spheroid, on 05 September 2018 - 12:12 PM, said:

Why are you bothering to bring a pure support mech? An I.S. team that brought lurms has already lost. AMS only boosts matchscore not earnings. Its dumb to bring a Kitfox when you could have brought a Hellbringer and actually shot things.

Because can't aim, mouse sensitivity too high to hold shot on target, can't torso twist well enough to not die in two shots from a decent pilot....so...

Bring a mech that sits behind a hillside and shoots missiles or shoots down missiles so we feel like we are helping?

PGI just needs to make narc time out after 120 damage.

I agree, PGI should move the game balance slider from imbalanced to balanced.

Was looking in settings, totally found it!
