Seeker is fairly easy to counter, all things considered. It shows you the lock on symbol when an enemy Seeker has their sights on you. The same symbol turns red when the Seeker begins its teleport, giving you exactly one second of time to prepare and react. Once the Seeker has teleported to you, you have 5 seconds (Seeker has a 7 second duration, but it takes 1 second to teleport to target and another to teleport back, thus giving you a 5 second window) to engage with/kill it; which most weapons can do. Once the lock on icon turns red, the Seeker will not be able to change its positioning until it has teleported; meaning you can actually move/face backwards and have it spawn in front of you. It no longer gets the bonus back damage on you, greatly reducing the threat. As for the 4 second cooldown, well, it's 4 seconds only because of a 50% cooldown modifier; Seeker normally takes 8 seconds to recharge the ability. 

Sure, if you're using something fragile, like Panther, a Seeker teleporting to you is a death sentence. However, for most other mechs, you have an alternative. 

Aegis: stand with your back to the edge of the Dome shield, and the seeker will teleport outside the dome. As long as you bodyblock the seeker from entering the dome, you'll be fine. 

Killshot: Just dash away

Redeemer: Just redeem backtrack away

Panther: similar tactic as the Aegis; use the stasis barrier to keep the Seeker stuck on one side

Orion: Turn around, hunter mark the Seeker and blast away. That shield won't do much.

Sentinel, Brickhouse: Who even uses these?

Surge: Dash cancel the moment the seeker teleports to you. Use the dash and immediately cancel it by opening the settings menu by pressing the Esc. key on PC, or tapping on the top left button on phone. Congratulations, the Seeker is now stunned and you can kill it. 

Redox, Gatecrasher, Onyx, Hemlock, Solis: Use the 1 second prep time to reposition and then damage/immobilize it with the ability. 

Bastion: Hard counter to Seekers; keep blast shield ready and use it when the Seeker teleports to you

Vortex: Use ability and melt Seeker away while taking 50% less damage

Eclipse: just don't appear on the radar, and the Seeker can't do anything. 

Nomad: You have the choice to either dash away like Killshot, or dash into the Seeker to take out the shield, get 60% damage reduction, and then murder it in cold blood. 

Point is- there's plenty of ways to counter Seeker. I'm aware that not all of the strategies I listed above can be used at all times, but unless you're facing an actually smart Seeker player that keep tracks of you and teleports to you only when you're on cooldown, you have a fighting chance. Of course, it won't work as well if you're in the middle of another fight; but in a team based game like this, you should be fighting with/around your team anyway. The AI bots are especially effective at taking out Seekers; just play near a bot or two when you're aware of a Seeker on the field. 

Also- use mods. The legendary ones cost an arm and a leg, but the ML perimeter mod is fairly cheap and can give your best mechs slightly better survivability. 

At start, a few days the icon showed the direction of the arrival of the Seeker. First therewas no even icon. I shut a few mech next the signal mark just disappeared.  Now I am shooted continously. 🤣

I mostly agree with this, but i've witnessed it multiple times how with the right weapon on these  mechs, these tactics won't matter for most mechs, for example if the seek has a storm/missle rack, or even cryo launchers.

Alongside that i've had it plenty of times that because of game issuess the mech appears slightly faster than it should (you know, because of reaction delay between machines), it also doesn't help if your singled out.

And with mods the seeker can survive even longer before you can kill it properly. again i agree mostly with what you said, with the right tactics and/or mech knowledge you can take down a seeker properly, but usually before that time it tends to be too late i've noticed...this is not a problem everyone will have, but it is common enough that ever time seeker can/will become the next meta with much higher ranking players/acoin users just like with disc launchers....right now it doesn't seem like a problem, but you gotta remember that even if there is a proper counter, it doesn't mean it should not be nerfed, again we should take disc launcher as an example as with the right tactics that could also not over powered. 

To be honest - the moment i see a seeker on a map it is like "duck and cover". None of the "tactics" s1lence told us to use work in reality. Mostly you are dead before you can use any of these "tactics". Seeker is like cheating with the permission of the devs and plarium.

Wait seeker no longer gets bonus back damage? So you did in fact NERF it. That doesn't change the fact that it takes advantage of weaker opponents better than maybe anything and it's possibly the most infuriating mech to get mismatched against of all time

Also as Pogster plays said, in reality it's usually the case that they're behind you by the time it's warning you. There's a delay between the seeker's input and the server receiving it then another between the server and you receiving it. Then back the other way from you to the server to them. I'm sure you know this is called latency, or lag. Lag is a fact of online gaming. Most of the time it isn't noticeable, or doesn't have an impact on gameplay. But 1 seconds to teleport does not leave a big window to react at all when you account for lag. See by the time you get the warning you have more like half a second to turn around and act. By the time we've turned around they're shooting at us. It'll still take another half second for me to press the button and for it to register to the server. They have already been shooting at us for a half second. A large portion of our health could be taken by that time. They have full frontal shield hp. A half second increase in tp time would give us that 1 second window

And mods? Hate to break it to you but none of those are cheap, not for f2p. We get like 200 of those regular parts a week and most of them cost like 1000+ parts just to unlock let alone get some decent levels in them

Since Seeker is OP, I would like to share some things I do to counter it.

1: Back up. If you are backing up as the seeker teleports, it will teleport in front of you. The faster your mech, the better this works

2: Always have a Surge, Bastion, or Zepher in your line-up, and don't spawn these mech first.

3: Make sure you have a ML perimeter shield upgraded to at least level 3, this is extremly helpful against seeker because it negates the back dmg until you turn around.

4: My prefered weapon to counter seeker is Grav Beam, though this is probably an unpopular opinion. I find it works well, unless they have a Galvanic Hull

If my 'tactics' did not work in reality, then I wouldn't be taking the time to list them here, would I? I play at 13k SP and face Seekers on the regular; and I've had a long list of playing in sweaty endgame 'competitive' matches where almost every guy on either team has a Revoker/Storm Rack Seeker. 

If you cannot use the tactics I outlined, then it's thanks to one or more of the reasons listed below

• You're playing at a Tier disadvantage where you're facing Seekers while having Tier 3-4 equipment. In this case, yes, none of the tactics I outlines will apply since you simply do not have the tools to deal with the tier 9 mech. 
• You're playing at a ping disadvantage meaning you cannot react to the Seeker in time
• You do not have the map and game awareness required to react in that 1 second window. In this case, just practice playing against better opponents and hone that skill. 

If you regard Seeker as using a cheat, then ask anyone that uses the mech and listen to their opinion of it. It's easy to be dismissive and claim something is unfair because you cannot deal with it, but complaining does not make you a better player.
