TTB made a video with alive aim bot.
There are much big problems than LRM trolling.

Full disclosure: when I started playing this game I used an LRM boat. I had a craptop computer and it seemed like a good way to participate while I learned. It took literal years to undo the straight garbage play I taught myself in the time it took me to start listening to the better players around here.

It literally have not been a Year since you created that account so please post with your main account and you might get some credibility instead of just new player QQing and lying.

I played a SNV-A match just to celebrate this thread.

Got a real bad Ebon Jaguar LRM80 build I might play next too.

im still waiting for the ballistic meta. i dont think its ever had its day in the sun not since the great gauss nerf that i didnt see because i was playing mwll. id love to see "rac meta" because then id have an excuse to use them. "narc meta" has probibly never been uttered on these forums. rocket launcher meta was kind of interesting in eq until it was nerfed. bizzare metas are the most fun imho.

Machine guns been a few complaints......... i think

Still waiting on the jump jet meta so I finally have a reason to buy the 5v with its OP CT !12 ALPHA DAMAGE!

The 5V is honestly kind of funny with a SNPPC as a harasser, Locust 1V does it a little better but can't jump

It's a great skirmisher and a total pain when poptarting. Full cooldown nodes and you are firing basically every 1.8 seconds..

sdr-5v

I still prefer the 5d with ecm and 3 lppc since you get double the range and the same dps with a bonus of it being all pinpoint and not splash like the snub.

A bit slower and less jumpy but you can still get up top on most of the good sniping spots.

LRMs must be fixed to be weaker, but less countered by ECM.

Remove ECM and Derp from the game and we can nerf lurms... and I would only nerf indirect if at all.

Derp ?

Yeah, in other words. Nowadays lurms are devastating if they hit, whish is happens 1 one Case of 5 because of EC and obstacles.
Especially now, when the LRM boat is a rare guest, players like me don't put points in the Radar Deprivation, and going on open valleys being covered just from direct fire. And if there is a LRM boat locks me I am so doomed.

[Meep Meep]

Eh as an lrm advocate I think they are in a great place. Ecm and derp means you can't just roll along in clan lrm monstrosities and melt anything that dares leave hard cover half the map away. We used to have that meta and it almost destroyed the game. I think that maybe derp could be nerfed just a wee bit more so that max skills still leave you locked for one second after breaking los. That gives the mechs with the derp quirks something to use so they can instantly break lock.

[Grimjack Haxor]

To me it is a necessary part of the game and quite immersive. It wouldn't be fun without them. It's no more BS than the people who definitely do not have aimbots or unnatural reflexes who can pinpoint your center torso or cockpit from across the map, etc. Or who turn their mouse sensitivity way down and have a mouse mat the size of Texas. Not my idea of fun.

Now Assault mech LRM... Yeah I can see being annoyed with that. I do play an assault LRM boat sometimes but only because AFAIK it's the only way I can LRM with ECM and AMS - FNR-WR. I much prefer a MDD-RV LRM though, my favorite mech in the game.

LRMs do very little damage, if you are getting killed by that it's your mistake.

Also, pretty sure my money is just as good as yours. Some people like missiles. Missiles were always what I liked about mechs, whether Battletech or otherwise. I love the MLRS type packs of missiles. And they should be usable as artillery.

What next, C-UAC is garbage? I like C-UAC too. It's a bit spammy. Is whatever is different than what you want to play garbage?

I think they should straight up come out with a LRM boat legendary. It's not any more BS than snipers and totally-not-using-aimbot sweaty assassins. You play your game I'll play mine.

/rant off

Also one more thing. Both my LRM boats have 3 MPLs and I get a fair number of kills off those. I don't hang back in my MDD-RV, it's quite fast, and I get up to the front line, and MPL the enemy quite effectively if need be, and also take advantage of C-LRM not being useless at close range.

The Archer Tempest can do ECM + AMS + LRMs: https://mwo.nav-alph...=130aaff6_ARC-T

As known ECM addict...

LRM hard max range is only 1125m with 10% quirked mechs with full range skills, I can make ERLL boat with 1k optimal range.
Instead of lock time plus 4+ second flight time it can shoot your face instantly with hit scan weapons get back to cover.

PS. I don't remember LRM meta ever unless you count very short periods of Lurmpocalypsos when Paul cluelessly did some "balance" tweak and made LRMs stupidly OP.
