With an EMP if you're a competent player you can do AT LEAST as much damage as an HE, in addition to all the forced repositioning
And while the HE requires aim, the EMP requires hitting somewhere within the same zip code as your target

The time you're left without power could certainly be knocked down to 3 or 4 seconds like closed beta 2, or at the very least trimming the impact radius.

Not to mention coordinated consecutive EMP shots will destroy any attempt at a response.
I'm not sure how you're seeing the part where because its 'harder' to point and push 1 at a mechs feet that this somehow brings it back from being OP over something like HE charge, which is actually harder to aim as it doesn't have the added bonus of detonating on contact with the ground and needs to hit directly.
People having trouble EMP'ing because they keep getting themselves with it as well_
That sounds like a them problem not a me(us) problem. I would not use that as a determining factor that somehow brings EMP back in line with HE charge.

Any competent player will be able to get good use out of HALF of the EMP time
Balancing EMP for the people who self EMP and miss with the huge radius and on-impact explosion the item provides is the surest way to ensure that EMP will continue to be banned in comp play

Not so competent players try to EMP a turreted Brawler and boost into his little den to finish the job at close range. That's just asking for a face full of flak.

Doing nothing to balance the game is just as bad to the game as caving in to the torrent of useless whiners who plague this forum.

Yeh, I'm gonna stop you right there, and ask that you think about what you've just said.
