the trouble with the the D-DC having ECM definately becomes apparent when the opposition brings multiple d-dcs.
In the case of a pug: you probably didnt bring D-DCS. and probably didnt bring enough ECM, and god help you if you anyone dropped with streaks.
in the case of a 4 man premade: non D-DCs atlas variants and awesomes have become less attractive. A coordinated 4 man with ECM can pub stomp all day and night.edit: 4 d-dcs that know what they're doing are pretty unstoppable.
in the case of 8 vs 8: people are coordinated enough to smash mechs with ECM first the easy solution to this problem is to just bring as many d-dcs as possible, as it is already one of the best atlas variants, this way you always have enough to counter enemy ecm and you dont have to worry about losing your ecm advantage too quickly.

I think you've pointed out a big problem with the current ECM balance with ECM being only on certain mech variants. If the team with more mechs with ECM gets to benefit from ECM (while countering enemy ECM) then just bring a team of 8 ECM mechs. When ECM variants are already one of the best variants for the respective chassis, there is no reason to bring anything other than the variant with ECM. You sacrifice nothing for picking the ECM variant every time you play.
