lock time bonuses were rolled into LOS.
That is a net buff without a mechlab tax.
The simple fact is that Big tube lrmboats, and even some funky little quirked lrmboats, have outrageous DPS and sustain when they are played to their strengths. They're savage when played with a support mech in an organized environment. We would't be having a conversation about organized lrmstrats 2.5 years ago; because it wasn't remotely viable.
Counting the amount of nerfs to buffs is also stupid, thats considering things in a vacuum. The buffs more than outweigh the tiny nerfs.
Lrms were buffed.
The only thing that got nerfed was lrming from zimbabwe and sandbagging your team.
