I would see 3-6 of them each match. If they were actually good, they wouldn't be killed by me within 10 seconds. If the were actually good, they would be FOTM. Except we don't see that. So why nerf them more with swarms Nerf?
1/4 matches I see one ADS. This one ADS no matter how skilled the pilot is usually dead to my 60k isk proto AFG fit. If that doesn't work, I two shot him from the redline with a proto railgun turret backed up with 3 complex DMG mods.
If swarms were weak, why does 3/4 of the AV I run into swarms? (starter fits not included)

do you even pc brah? every single pc I've played in the last week they were at a minimum 3 ADS's. They also almost always had the highest kill count and kdr. This is with multiple people wth proto av fighting them.
You can't fight in here! This is the war room.

That's a lol statement to say the least. You may as well ask, "why do so many people in pubs use militia medium frames when STD assaults are better in every way?" Because they aren't skilled into them.
If you are spec'd into level 5 of an assault suit, and always use assault, would you rather get Weaponry 5, Heavy Weapon Operation 3, Forge Gun Operation 1, Dropsuit Command 3, and one Basic Heavy Frame Dropsuit skill to 1, just to use a STD Forge on a STD dropsuit, or would you rather get Swarm Launcher Operation to 5 and bam, now you have PRO AV on a PRO dropsuit?
SP Sinks? Fixed.

Waaaait... dedicated av is now arguing with other av... I can't wait for the 'nerf plasma cannon because it's better at killing shield vehicles than my swarm launcher' threads.
Can I just say, as a pilot the change to swarms (if done properly) will actually be a good one... I don't think anyone liked having to just afterburn half way over your own redzone to avoid them, they should be avoided when popping behind a building after hotfix. |

Indeed.
Earlier in the week (I think Thursday?) I was fighting against Murphy's Law, and I was in the Biomass Outpost Socket on the tower by F-G12 defending Bravo with a MD, and I brought a Swarm Launcher with me because I knew an ADS would try to push me off.
So I down an ADS about 2 Times, and then the other two flew in and destroyed pretty much everyone. Though I did manage to kill one of the ADS's a 3rd time when he landed to kill me.
(I would've got him if I had a CR instead of MD  tho)

Don't call me a noob or anything, but what is ADS? I haven't invested a single skill point in vehicles or turrets, I just use my LAV do get around. Does it stand for Aim Down Sight?

Going out on a limb here, but you must be talking about pub matches. At any rate, the good news is we have a dedicated ADS pilot on the CPM that does things like analyze actual numbers and post videos with reasonable thoughts and ideas that highlight the difficulty of balancing vehicles and AV; instead of pumping out a few sentences that constitute anecdotal opinions on the forums. Don't get me wrong though, forum entertainment is an important part of the ecosystem too, and your post is appreciated.
Looking forward to being 2 shotted by your AFG soon if not already, because I almost always run with a single teammate. If I weren't a scrub and joined a proper corp I wouldn't fly my weak ass ADS without heavy hunters scouring the ground for you. :-) |

In PC its a different story. I remember being a part of FG team tasked with keeping the dropships uncomfortable.
In pubs, well not many knows how to fly one.
But facing against (was it Derrith or the panty dropping beat man?) is a pain in my neck in pubs.

They rule pubs because they're virtually indestructible against uncoordinated AV. A swarm launcher or two running around aimlessly looking for a lock on is not something a competent ADS pilot is going to struggle with, and missile turrets obliterate infantry and tanks with ease.
But put them against a squad that cracks out the assault forge guns and..well...it's a spectacular light show, to say the least.
