Less Missile Health is still an indirect buff to AMS.

Unless there's some other way to shoot down missiles, this is a direct buff to AMS

You can use Machineguns, Pulse Lasers, Small Lasers, and so on and so forth... to shoot down LRM's btw...so that means it is not a direct buff to AMS since as you stated there is another way to shoot down missles.

95% of my ATMs never reach the target at 130-275m. GG, time to refit those mechs.

Lots of people want to try the new LRM mechanics. Anticipating this, lots of people fielding as much AMS as possible. Seen more triple AMS Novas today than I have in the past few months combined.

AMS post patch , way over powered ! My missiles are destroyed as they leave my mech with closest enemy at over 600m. Have went three matches now , same result. Broken.


There's actually someone a lot closer that you're simply not aware is there. Likely behind you or beside you. I have flanked an ECM LRM medium behind an enemy team, stood 150 meters to the side of their supernova, and had my AMS engaging his LRMs as he fired them while also firing my own LRMs at the enemy team, and the guy in the Supernova never realized I was there.

I've made it work. Its the same principal as leading a fast moving light properly. you Have to connect your shot to the missile in flight. You can also destroy UAV's with strikes if you know how.

I tested this patch changes yesterday.. I'm only gonna mention AMS here..

So, a 4AMS Corsair completely hard-counters a 4LRM15 LRM boat... all missiles eaten...

So yeah... don't see the point of it all anymore..

Not good for the health of the game to have less viable weapons.

Now all the haters will have an orgasmic field day.. feeling happy they stuck it to the lurmers.. then they will go into Group que.. and realize they can't get a match.. because there's no people playing..

Maybe when all the players left are ex-Evil and ex-MJ12, the game will finally be balanced?

Enjoy your SRMs..

Yeah, wait a week or two and let things settle. A fancy new quad AMS mech was just released, add to that all the lurmageddon talk leading up to the patch. This has led to teams fielding 20+ AMS where before teams had maybe 5 or 6.

A single AMS is capable of destroying ~17 of 40 missiles from a MRM40 volley.

3T put toward AMS(ammo) can nuke a 12T piece of weaponry now essentially. Have 2 AMS on the field and a MRM40 is totally neutralised.

The balance has gone totally the other way.

That's more lag 6th.

Better if they reduce the AMS firepower.

Very good for the heatlh of the game and mental health of players to not have LRMs in the game. They're like the chinese water torture, only more like riot water gun.

Weep, LURM NOOBS! This is how it is for us every day when we can't even see where we are walking because od your incestant missile spamming.
