You are like the "warriors" and other dps classes in other MMOS, that complain about classes with crowd control abilities and that healers ruin PvP, because they, healed the guy/controlled you, making you loose the kill.
Its just another kind of warfare then dps and tank, it gives a game like this more depth. Its what make you rely on mates in well setup gangs to be on top of the game. most ppl consider this fun, being in groups cleverly setup to handle most things that come their way. A DPS battleship is more of a core ship then the ECM ship. Just like the dps class vs healers/crowd controllers. You can't go anywhere without dps. The fact that crowd controllers and/or healers counter dps is just natural. In any successful MP game like this, there should be counters to anything, even dps. If dps and tank would always be on top of the game it would be a way different game, then we could toss classes, factions and variety in ships on the window.
I can agree that ECM is a bit overused at the moment, but its because the other EW isn't on par which they should IMO.
Personally I think if you wanna bring it down to pure shooting tanking, I activate my modules you activate yours, we see how it goes after 2min, then I rather play some shoot em up game/fps. Like counterstike etc. Of course 1v1s in EvE are fun. Just as in other games.
Also do you think it would make a difference if there were 3 BS with pilots with same SP as you attacked your BS, or 2 of them being in falcons? No you still loose. You still get owned hard. Having the ability to lock while being owned might feel better but you are in no way in a better situation.
Now EvE is a bit different here, the 2 other pilots could be in blackbirds being just a few weeks old. but THAT is what makes EvE what it is even new pilots are viable to a gang. The ppl that played for 2 years can't simply go about and own everybody like in other games. And there is always a counter to something.
