But apparently LRM's are too much too?

Lets make our minds up here..

That's not really contradictory in any way to the current meta game.

There really isn't any overall sense of balance between everything we have. There are currently a variety of classes of which some of the mechs in those classes have certain chassis choices, due to hard points can be configured into a variety of viable builds. Those builds, the best of them at least, then fall into a sort of rocks-paper-scissors mess of what counters what.

We've seen this over and over. Lights are OP because lag shield + no knock downs but get squished by streak cats which also clobber some other builds. So in comes ECM which counters and shuts down the streak cat.

We keep going through this cycle with each new bit of content, expect more of it.

Or he finds you plain annoying and doesn't want to hear your drivel any more. Personally blocking someone you just don't agree with and can't play nice with is a mature decision.

Yes, because dishing out insults in the first place when none were received is very mature.

Retaliating in kind is more so? Until one of you start acting like a grown up this will just continue to look bad on both of you!

oh no, I fully admit that I finally (after 3 times of being called stupid and/or ignorant) finally stooped to his level... when what I should have done is just report his insulting posts and not have responded at all

How do you put block people? Apoc and about 5 others are going on mine....

Now, if I could just get some side mirrors to counteract the neck-brace torso twist inability of my Stalker, I would be fine. ;-)

I would be happy with a rear view mirror or camera.

Ah you quoted me before I could clip all that. Seemed unnecessary. Oh well!

it's not a serious issue and there has been news from the Devs on it - ECM is working as intended; PC Gamer interview

what, you mean like quoting someone just to state that you think you are being trolled by the devs themselves?
ok...

how about be patient and see what happens in regards ECM and items that counteract it or penalise people huddling together under it?

[blastPHANT1337]

ECM is fine and if you can't manage to get kills just cause you cant lob tons of LRMs at a target, then you all probably need to practice a bit more.

Or ECM is OP because of other reasons?

Our 8 man team
2 Ilya
2 other catas
2 catapults
2 dragons

no ECM

We came up against

3 DDCs with ECM
2 commandos with ECM
several other filler mechs.

We won 8-0. ECM is not as OP as you chicken little forumwarriors like to pretend. If it was the automatic +10 to win, they would have beaten us.

You have a skill deficiency and blame it on the game, when you really just need to Learn2Play.

Being able to beat it doesn't mean it isn't OP or didn't give them an advantage. But I can't help but notice that your team had no Commandos, Ravens, Cicadas, or Atlases. Or else it would have had an ECM as wel. I mean, why would you use any variant to those Mechs in a premade team that doesn't have one?

But ForumWarrior. I like that title.

I have plenty of practice. What I need is a better graphics card to get a frame rate consistently higher than 10 on low settings. Lock-on weapons made this an FPS-style game that I could play.

Even if there were no LRMs or streaks in this game, I would still bring ECM every time.

Because we don't force people to take specific mechs. We're confident we can win and if we don't we (incoming novel concept here) we play better next time.

Again, none of what you said is relevant to the balance issues or the fact that they exist. So you can win games, got it. Guess what, ECM is still OP.

Oh I see, it's the "I am bad and blindly so, so i shall stick my fingers in my ears and ignore the possibility I could be wrong and I could be the problem" response. Got it. Talking to wall.

le exit!

People were banging drums that Gauss was effecting the game to much and they were right.

ECM is in a whole other category of buggering the game up.
