Congratulations PGI.

You have given in to the toxic hate filled monsters of this community and given them want they wanted in the process you have destroyed lrm play and the team play that went with it.

Why?

You had it right way back at the start with lots of exp for spotting assists and the idea of lrm being fire support like arty is in world of tanks.

Its a team game anything that adds to cooperation and interaction is a good thing you have done the complete opposite.

You solve the problem by having a zero tolerance stance against their hate.

How is it even possible that after all this time you are completely incapable of even understanding the problem?

I love it when people call others not thinking exactly the way they do hate, it's logic lvl 80

The problem is, (in this case), as has been mentioned numerous times in the past- not with specifically LRMs or the people who want to run them. They are a part of the game/franchise etc. They can be fun to muck around in a bit.. "Fun". They work as a platform for people who might not have the mechanical ability to run anything else.

The problem (again, in this context) is the rigid defense of the system as some be-all-end-all mechanic that "must" be balanced, competitive, and that actually these people being very effective teammates using LRMs and all those "meta tryhards" and "comp-tier aimgods" are just complainers and should just learn to "git gud" or that they don't actually understand the game...

No. Just no.


You like hurling lrms out of your mech at a big red target and putting very little effort in to do so. Fine. See you on the battlefield. There should be nothing more to it than that.

Sure. But the thing is, LRMs are fine. The complaining is mainly due to the fact that some LRMers who don't know how to trace what's happening to their missiles. They'd rather sit in the island far away and launch LRMs at buildings with only one or two missiles hitting the target but AMS has given them a slight headache. I say "slight" 'cause if they realize where the AMS is, they can switch target and hurl LRMs again into a zone free of AMS. That is not happening. They keep complaining that the AMS is ruining "their" LRM experience. It's not. They're ruining their own enjoyment. At least now, not everyone's game is ruined by them.

A better question is, "How does disliking a playstyle any form of bigotry akin to real-life?" It must be that these LRMers are actually the SJW-type people who empathize with nobody except themselves and don't even know that they're doing it.

So your solution to the LRM changes is to switch to the premier clan laser vom platform.....I applaud you sir.

If I had known there was a change (like making LRMs more or less require your own locks instead of being a leech) to make people put them aside and work on their GIT GUD I'd have been screaming for this for years.

While I think there's still some tuning due for LRMs this particular balance change has brought me more Forum Warfare (the true, original FW) joy than any other change in the games history.

Post after post is like:

"LRMs are ruined and worthless now! I'm not even going to bring them!'

Okay.

"Well... well... I'll take laservomit and ballistics!"

Okay!

"Uh.... Alright! FINE! How about I start taking fast brawl!!!!!"

Guys, stop, I can only get so erect!

[cheapcamper]

I would actually felt sorry for the lrm main players if a selected few didn’t show such a sense of entitlement on the forum.

You do realise the self entitlement statement your vocal group made is actually off putting to anyone sitting to the middle of the fence anout the lrms rite?

Not that our opinion matters in the near future about balancing patches, selected primers you should bomb paul’s And russ’s Twitter, much higher odds of change

[Hellbringer]

Can you guys shut up about lrms already. Who cares.

If you don't like it don't use it and put on ams

If you like it, then use it

Oh wait I'm suppose to stay outta this mess.

Hahahahahahaaha, oh that made me laugh out loud..

What game do you think you're playing buddy?

Assaults lead pushes? YEAH - for 5 seconds.. then they go down in flame, cut in half by laser vomit and ballistic spew..



They are meant to tank? SURE - unless there's a Piranha or an Assassin near them. They all they can do is squeal in terror.

Nobody will help an Assault LRM boat? SURE - if you play with a bunch of glory-hogging, KDR hunting, God-Tier only, toxic deuches.. But if you play in a team that welcomes and incorporates LRM boats, and actually ASKS you to bring the biggest LRM boat you can muster cose' they know what you're gonna do with it.. yeah.. they not only help.. they make sure you get locks and defend you from lights..

BTW, you DON'T SPEAK FOR THE MWO COMMUNITY.

Don't even think about trying to put yourself so high..

Feel free to blacklist me.. I welcome it from people like you.

P.S.

There's a FAFNIR variant with +10 missile range quirk and 4 Missile slots.. What do you think it was made for? SRMs?

Think again squirt..

P.P.S.

Wanna see a picture of my LRM Annihilator Mean baby? Or my LRM Direwolf? LRM Kodiak? LRM King Crab?

P.P.P.S.

Hey Lurmers.. let's all of us post picures of out 100 ton LRM assaults.. let't make this guy's stomach become a bloody twister pad..

Thank you for your kind response sir.

You do make a point there. I'm not speaking for most of the MWO community. Just a smaller part of it.

I think you've mixed up "Assaults lead pushes" with "Assaults push out alone". Besides. One mech is going to be the victim of a push every time. Usually the one in front. But then the rest follow up.

I would like to see a Piranha or Assassin pilot staying in position when the entire enemy team makes a push towards their direction. Even if they do that, we know the results of such action.

Yes, nobody will help an Assault LRM boat if you're too far behind the team, and so far away from where the main battle is taking place. Not because they are, as you said: "a bunch of glory-hogging, KDR hunting, God-Tier only, toxic deuches"
But because usually everyone is concentrating on the fight at hand.

MRMs are highly favorable in that regard due to their decent range. It's not that much but it does help.

On regard of the blacklisting? I'd rather not. On the contrary, i do hope we can have some nice conversations in the near future
