I kinda feel addicted to the awsome proton torps and I think they will gain popularity in the local meta. So I tried to come up with something to counter it. Would this be good enough? Play in mini-swarm, and when they split up, they got a partner to take the crit for them.

Maybe play ships with JAM to steal TLs

Got any suggestions? And would they do well as a swarm?

Jamming locks off higher PS ships is a super though ask. You have to close from out of range 3 into range 1 in order not to soak a round of torps. THat's almost impossible.

Best way to avoid torps is blocking. Block their move, cost them their action, no shot how sad.

It's definitely not easy, however, Tie reapers are ones that have a chance. Ailerons, plus a three bank or straight make it possible if you are just out of range 3. It's not easy, and you have to be good with range control, but it can be done.
