I have been playing this game for some time now. I enjoy the hell out of it. As a real combat vet, I appreciate the tactics that must be employed within the game. One of the things I (use to) gave a ton of credit to the developers was that LRM's were vicious on the battlefield. As they should be! MRLS or Artillery are the "Kings of Battle" in real warfare.

I watched as people figured out the GaussCat's. I was ok with this designs, because although they were deadly, they did have weaknesses. You just had to use some tactics. (Pull it out into the open and let a LRM boat eat it being the most effective) . I just watched a game where two GaussCats literally walked with impunity through a game. LRM boats were banging away at them, but were doing so poor damage that they just ignored them and went on crushing all the other mechs with their combined hitting power. If you walk out in the open LRM boats SHOULD kill you. If you don't like that, to bad, it's (or was) part of the game. Shame on you for not hiding or using cover.

So in conclusion, please add my compliant to all the other complaints about the LRM nerf. Sadly, I feel the balance of the game has actually gotten worse since closed beta. If you think there were a lot of GaussCats before, just wait...you have taken away it's natural predator. Soon you will hear cries to nerf that as well.
