Not really I did it all the time in blops fleets

Or does however take a bit more effort and attention

Last I checked, logistics cruisers had > 30 km range with additional falloff. Even logistics frigates have major falloff beyond 12km.

We need more AOE effects to counter blobs, not less.

The mechanic is OP, especially when used by the blob. These things will always benefit the larger fleet because they will have more command destroyers to throw at you and more tackle to keep things pinned down.

It's not possible to counter them by offensively scramming them, we've tried. Either too many are warped in at once that overwhelm your anti-cd ships, and since there's no limit to how many CD's can activate their RMJD in a closed space, you only need 1 to activate.

Then there's chain jumping, which there's no offensive counter to.

Basically, there's no offensive counter to these ships, you have to scram yourself.

The ability of these ships is far too powerful considering there are no drawbacks or actual offensive counters to them. There's no AOE anti micro jump drive module, you can't jam them or damp them to reduce their effectiveness. Their tank is too high to be smartbombed realistically.

So yes, CCP once again released an untested mechanic that is far too powerful without much thought beyond "this should shake things up".

In reality it only benefits small gang ganks and large blobs to **** over a smaller fleets even harder.
