I think it should get ecm.

Terrible idea is terrible.

It's a wonder how people play this game without ECM

They have friends who have ECM.

Why a terrible idea... Its not like you can mount 3 streaks on it. It would be a good scout + ecm would at least counter the other ecm lights.

But then people would cry pay2win.

It's a lore mech, it didn't have ECM, case closed.

Like that's ever stopped them before:

Commando-2D
Cicada-3M
Atlas-DDC

Case reopened, and dismissed for lack of evidence.

PGI stated that they wanted the Hero Mechs to not be Pay to Win, just varients of the normal mechs that they sell. If they would put ECM on this the forums would implode with the cries of people shouting Pay to Win.

I highly doubt that you will ever find a Hero Mech with ECM with it in its current state.

Really I thought they were inventing lore as they felt like it. Was this not also a reboot? Not that it matters, I was just my opinion.

There is already a Commando with ECM that is far superior to the Hero mech. You could not really claim its pay to win.

More like the lights with Streaks should lose ECM... move it to the non-missile hardpoint mechs... have to think whoever made the chasis decision and settled on the Commando 2D and Raven 3l should have their head examing... When your entire point was to shut down streak abuse in the first place...

[Solis Obscuri]

If ECM wasn't broken, giving it to a Hero 'mech would be a non-issue...

[Barnaby Jones]

How is it that you fail to see it is a terrible idea and yet you point at the ecm commando as evidence?

Go buy a ecm spider.

You still have not explained yourself.
I pointed that out as an example why it would not be pay to win. Not as an example of good choice. I dont like piloting lights much, but, I do want to collect the hero mechs. ECM would give it something that it lacks.

could you give me a link where I could read about it. My quick search turned up nothing.

[Barnaby Jones]

Giving ECM to all mechs would be giving them something they lack (except for the ones that already have it obviously).

It has fully articulated arms and 4 energy slots in them, it has a c bill boost, it has fancy paint. Its still crap, and theres no point in putting a fancy hat (ecm) on a ****. It would still be a ****. And even if you did the 2D would still be superior in the current ECM environment.

The answer to solving the current ECM/Streak issue, is not adding more ECM. Its removing streaks from mechs that have ECM. Just my opinion.

ECM effects 1 mech; Death's Knell +ECM = good.

ECM has radii of effect that sweep your entire lance into it = Suck for errrbody

i disagree
ECM affects 1 mech means you continue to reinforce the dogma that every last player should take an ecm-capable mech
ecm affecting multiple mechs as is results in a silly stacking scheme that also reinforces this dogma
better to have ecm affect multiple mechs and not stack, making it useful to have a few on a team but not everyone needs to take it

Watch it. You don't want to make the green frog angry, you won't like him when he's all ribbit.
