Should Smoke LRM's be included in basic pick up games? I think they should be because they grant arguably the weakest weapon in the game, the LRM 5, more utility as a defensive option rather than forcing it to be and offensive tool, which it sucks at. Most of the LRM 5 mechs, the Vindicator, the Griffin 1S, the Ostroc 2L, the Grasshopper, the Battlemaster 1S, etc all benefit from being able to pop smoke and gain that +1 to be hit from the smoke allowing them to close the distance rather than the pittance of damage you might do with the actual mech.
