ECM mechs are only overpowered because they can use streaks and most can not. Just eliminate the streaks and most grief will be resolved.

^^ This is a great example of overreaction and holler for nerfbats that occur too much in multiplayer games. I look forward to SSRM 4's and SSRM 6's...that will be fun.

[Kaspirikay]

No, please don't.

[Stoicblitzer]

I would say eliminate ECM but then the 3L would still be a light killer with SSRMs. Right?

[Wolfyop]

just eliminate all the mech and there will be no more problems.

No, the Jenner would come back as the light mech of choice.

3l, 2d will fall like flies if they do not have the streaks to rely on. Streaks are really no skill, why should they be kept?

To handle lagshielded lightmechs... SSRM are not the problem, SSRM+ECM is.

just eliminate streak and all will be fine

Eliminate ECM, Light will go back to their scouting role

[Davers]

I wish people would stop with the 'no skill' argument. Sure it doesn't take 'skill' to fire LRMs, but it does if you want to do real damage with them. People act like clicking your mouse on the screen is an achievement.

BTW- The gauss would be the least skilled ballistic weapon. Guess why they are so popular. That and the 'Get 20m from your opponent before you fire' AC/20 Cats and SRM Cats.

People sure are funny around here...

[Disapirro]

Guass is fine. At least they need to aim. Streaks are the cheese of this game.

[Kanaric]

shitties need to stop giving their stupid suggestions

[Deamhan]

The tears are so sweet.

The OPness of ECM+LagShield has a counter.

ECCM+SSRMs

Bye bye crutch

[Spot]

You think Streak SRM2s are bad? Wait for some of the later tech.

You mean Eliminate ECM and Eliminate scouting role. As everyone will be able to see everyone from across the map, not that you can't already with thermal view, but without ECM there would be no way to hide from anyone.

@ davers, LRM's are the pretty skill-less, the only weapon that requires less brain cells is Streaks.

[Disapirro]

just elimanate streaks and all will be balanced.

LRMs often require LOS and TAG to get the most effect. Otherwise you have no idea what your target is doing and how many hits you are actually getting. The days of sitting back 1000m and raining hell are over, if you didn't hear.

Everyone points to the next guy's playstyle and says, "I do it right, he does it the easy way." But that's online gaming for you.

[Sable Dove]

Increase weight and size of SSRMs so that it's harder to take more than one of them.
Remove ECM from the 3L and 2D; give it to the two craptastic Spiders instead.

Of course, ECM would still need a nerf, but at least they couldn't have ECM and streaks, and any lights without streaks have ECM.
