I'm gonna go ahead and agree with the OP and say that Militia Swarm Launchers are too good for the skill required. I would say basic swarms would also be too good for the amount of skill required, and advanced and proto swarms are excluded from the argument. You have to dedicate time and skill points (to some degree), as well as a little more ISK in order to use them. For those you deserve to get pretty good damage output for what you put in, and if you're a dumb enough pilot to repeatedly engage them then you probably deserve to die.
That being said, if I'm flying an ADS and someone decides to pull out Militia Swams and engage me, I now have a very large problem, especially if the game glitches out and the swarms coming at me are invisible, or if two or three people have the idea together. They don't do a large amount of damage per volly, but they do have a large impact on my ability to fly and even more so on my ability to aim; I'm now suddenly pointed a different direction and potentially taking damage from a source I haven't even located yet. Now if I start flying away from the area, I'm almost guaranteed a second volley, and if they manage to lock a third one before I'm out of range then I'm in trouble. After all that happens, I don't even really have the option to engage again, because now they're watching for me, the moment I fly back over to where the swarms are, the volleys with come in larger numbers and I will die without even getting the chance to aim at someone.
Keep in mind this argument really only stands for beginner and maybe some of the lower teir intermediate players. It would be dumb to argue that an experienced pilot with a decked out ADS will have any issue with militia swarms, but then we're not talking about Mr. 1337 here. At the same time, Mr. 1337 should really be paired up with people that are more on par with his skill level, and if people his skill level are trying to take him down with Militia Swarms, then they probably deserve to die at his hands until someone brings out some better AV.

Swarms were useless for a long time and now that they have a little bite back ADS pilots QQ about having to be cautious of their surroundings.
I'm sorry Origonal Poster but I have no sympathy for you and do not regard your complaint as valid, so I will not be arguing statistical balancing points with you.
Plus you are the one that decide to start a QQ thread and asked if anyone thinks this problem you are having is related to you "sucking". Well sir, my opinion is that the issue is more about your "suck" factor than the individual skill required by a swarm user.
Dude go away. You're following this thread literally for the purpose of antagonizing the OP and shouting "QQ you're bad". If you're going to be active in the community, why not try being constructive and intelligent, rather than just a raging ****? |
