I would think that a year of not playing Hawken would dull my skills... guess not...
Bear in mind, I was playing in the Prosk map, a close quarters map.

I guess the meta of light mechs dominating matches still holds a little truth...

I believe this image holds some relevance here.

This is what happens when even a decent-ish player with a top 10-15 G2 Raider gets into a match with a ~1350 average.

We really need a season four to ground these players back into reality.
The cats are away boys.
I still haven't heard definitely about my expat, but I'm heavily involved with HR and KPMG in discussion about it; I probably won't be in the right region to participate.
What clear signal do you need from Josh that you can have a Season IV? Maybe he/Reloaded will help support that? I think he's very interested in Hawken as tourney-sport (which is why he's leaving the lights on for us, I speculate).

You should call me Luna.

The initial idea was wait for a content patch to bring back some players. That being said, if enough teams and players show interest a TPG season can be arranged. You nerd.
[hawken as an esports rant]
For me personally, if I could ask Josh for one feature in Hawken that I think would take TPG and competitive play to the next level. In terms of watchability, excitement, spectatorship, team tactics, and ability to show off the game. It would be a nice spectator/replay system.
All you have to do is go to the TPG Hawken youtube page or any TPG player who streamed on twitch to recognize how much of a no brainer a nice spectator/replay system is. For a small subset of players who generally are powered by raw skill and game time, not large amounts of team practice, TPG players pull off some crazy fuzzy bunny plays. I think a replay and/or a spectator system would allow for teams to more easily and efficiently practice strategies and tactics. Thus raising the quality of play overall. It would also make the game a lot more exciting to watch from a third person perspective. If done right.
Successfully growing third person game viewership, especially for tournaments, relies on two core elements that must be present in the game. Those are a watchable spectator mode, and private/custom matches. Hawken has half the equation. Only then can you really have a hope of pushing it to the masses effectively.

Did you blank out the names because they'd be embarrassed or because you'd be embarrassed?
Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?

Habit. It's sort of a courtesy that I'm used to doing when in online game forums. I didn't want to upset people by 'possibly' showing their names.

You could also get warning points if you call out community members in pictures like that too
they could get offended from the rekt and report you

Thus the reason why I blanked out the other names.

"Go pro, it's worth it"
No gameplay, just endgame screenshot with no server stats, all names blacked out.
"Still got it"
Not like there was much to lose:

It's still a precaution, besides if I didn't blank them out it would still be considered name-calling. I'd rather be on the safe side.

What's the big fuzzy bunnyng deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.
Dumb question, what does PSR refer to?
Also, what do I type into Scrimbot ( chat ) to show the useful server stats like MMR rankings ( average/high & low etc )?
I only ever use it to check my own MMR, don't know a list of commands...

PSR is PoopSlinger Rating. The number is random and the thing is a joke. You can use "srd" to check the mmr average of your current server. You can use "help" or "commands" (not sure which) to see them all.

A joke!? You know nothing. PSR is the only true measure of skill available to us. How dare you mock it's legitimacy.
Sure seems like a joke to me... Just gotta find that quote where someone said it was.
It is calculated with an extremely advanced algorithm known as the "poopslinger ultraprecise skillz predictive equation" that takes into account everything that MMR does plus a ton of other parameters including holotaunt ubiquity, yolodive efficacy, killyness, and raiderosity to name just a few.
It's is rather complex, and the entire calculus requires about a double sided page of 8 point single point font to write out in it's entirety.

All I know is that if I check my psr and it is a positive number, then I need to take some time and think about my life choices up to this point.

Oh my god that was so cringeworthy.
putting long range mechs in the game was a bad mistake for the original devs. Faster mechs like the scout have a bad hit registry on most servers, at least the noobs can hit a brawler. The population would have been really different if hawken had more raider-like mechs.

Heretical. I can see the argument, but anti-recidivistatarianism would have you believe this is the best of all possible Hawkens, and the decisions that got us here were the best of all possible decisions

This is probably true. I don't know about 'better' but 'different'.

I beg to differ and totally disagree.
It is great to have close quaters, medium range and long range + support/specialist mechs.
The problem is to use your team setup accordingly to the enemy setup and the current situation on the map - many people do not realize this at first hawken exposure, because it might not be that intuitive and spam LR+specialist mechs (predator i.e.).
My point is as follows. Staging and situational awarness + some map experience is crucial here and makes hawken a 6v6 game, not 1+1+1+1+1+1 v 1+1+1+1+1+1. It requires some cooperation and communication and one rouge reaper/ss base sniper can ruin the balance and experience for everybody, especially in SG mode.
Of course meeting a rocketeer close range with a raider, miniflak vanguard or infiltator does not mean you can skip the skill factor, but yet it gives you the opportuinity to exploit enemy weakness and improves your chances of winning the fight. On the other hand storming AA that has entrenched enemy C class supported with a tech with full A class team or LR mechs frontal assault is generally not a good idea unless the team can coordinate and flank simuntalously and use attrition waves/pincer manouvers on the most dangerous enemy.
As far as the screenshot is concerned the enemy team staging seems not to have taken advantage of Sausage's team LR staging, tried to counter rocketeers with bruisers and assault (med range vs long range). A berserker or a infiltrator harassment just cries out to be enforced :)
The counters might not work as obviously as in Overwatch and are more of a soft type. This is what got me hooked and that is what I really like about this game.
Wow, that is a long post. Am I taking it too seriously? :)
On AWOL from Hawken until -deadline undisclosed-.
If you happen to play Mechwarrior Online and would like to hook up, you are welcome to find me there. Cheers.

Aimbotters have taken advantage of SS classes in the past and the devs have done little to nothing about it. I'd say it was a mistake because no action has been taken.
