something small, and a personal opine.

when a >2000 player randomly (TDM/DM etc) matches up with a lower tier type, join and treat as an epic chance to be a teacher of Hawken.

i matched in a 2013 smurf account with Dave,tonight and enjoyed every second of it.

DeathMatch. encredible. i hadnt that much fun ina looooong time.

he left before time out. cant' blame him, it would have Killed his mmr.

but Hawken needs to get a match/room where this can happen with no ill effects to MMR, simply because it's so fun.

And you give valuable skills and help to folks much newer/lower ranked than you.

  Just an idea.

Ranked and unranked games. Currently the only way of doing it are server admins (private) stopping hte match before it ends or letting the timer increase so it will never end.

Would be cool to have custom servers.

i feel similar to this, whenever i end up in a room over my head, i try to notice where players go, how they move, internal sets, if im losing then there's something i can learn, even if its teamwork.

If i get into a really low DM that has 1 or 2 players besides me, I usually ask if they want some tips. It's more productive than endlessly pubstomping.

I tried doing this but I only got things like "fuzzy bunny yu haxer" thrown at me in chat.

Lots of them said they'd report me for hacking, dunno if they really did it though.

Either way, I don't feel like teaching such people.

I do my best to teach people in the games I'm in but without the In game voice working, it's not easy. 

 

Also, Hi. I am the Hobbes. I do tutorial videos. They are apparently helpful.
