Cause it's really dull how everytime I fight everyone they're always armor tanked. And always 1600mm plates on cruisers. That's not right, that shouldn't be allowed. And armor plates need another penalty rather then just speed. They need a mass increase. Because really that is what you're doing, you're adding thicker, heavier armor. And have the 1600mm plates add 10million kg. to a 110mil kg BS that's not that much, but for a cruiser, that's 2/3 extra mass, which would seriously offset the fact that cruisers can fit these things on.
My opinion.
Just because someone is diffucult to fight does not mean a nerf is needed. They may have been just perfectly suited to counter you, your set up could be wanting, or any other number of reasons, but asking CCP to step in and make your life easier is not the answer. However, in the intrests of being informed and accurate please answer the following.
Question: What were you attacking this plated cruiser with? Ship, weapons, set up. And, to the best of your ability, what guesstimate of a set-up did the cruiser seem to be using.
Doings so will help prove or disprove your case. For all we know you're miffed because your t1 frigate couldn't kill a tank/hardned vexor fielding nos and full drones, something a T1 frig is not likely to do without some major tactics or luck. Or you may have been in a BS unable to kill a T1 cruiser, something you should be able to manage without much difficulty provided you have the skill and equipment needed to do so.
As for the ECM reference. Sure, but it has been pointed out already that they couldn't sustain the tank very long and this is for two reasons. ECM high cap sucking nastiness, and only native regen can't keep up with an apporpriate level rep or any ecm. So even if you get target jammed he's gotta blow major cap to do it, cap he can't sustain. Then again if you can't hit him then his armor rep is not the issue, ECM is. Should that now have some nerf/consiquence to go with it (beyond the massive cap drain making them hard to use as is, refrencing burst-type here) that makes it easier for you?
Yes, in EVE anything can be countered. That's the fun bit about EVE. There is no sure fire win solution. You can tip the odds in your favor, but nothing can guarantee a victory. Adapt and evolve. CCP doesn't need to do anything here. Please provide the requested info if you can, that will help clarify your view more.
