No way! I bought a Hunchback 4P because of you.

[Lefteye Falconeer]

Not sure I understand this, Koreanese? You won the tournaments under the worst possible meta. Now that things are a bit better due to missiles, you quit? Or is it that you hate missiles?

Just asking, really. No criticism. It's sad if you leave, so I'd love to know your reasons.

"Better" is a very subjective term. To me, it just means we now have a more diverse long-range game. Poptarts aren't any less cheesy. 6PPC Stalkers aren't any less devastating. Brawling is still largely dead, and that's where all the fun is.

i want the brawling back in the game, im sick and tired of standing 600 meters away and trading shots. srms should be king of brawling weapons along with medium lasers. however, they just nerfed it even harder. I do miss close range brawlfest where things go good/wrong very quick. that was fun game. now its just boring

[NRP]

Amen brother.

[Kmieciu]

You can still brawl and use your speed in conquest mode.

[Lefteye Falconeer]

Yeah, I am not gonna try to convince anybody. But after the patch and the hotfix, not sure why, but there's much more brawlking than before. It could be that there's less Alpine Peaks, and less Tourmaline, and more Canyon, but in general, I ave had more brawling in the past 4 days than in the previous 4 weeks.

[NRP]

It seems they increased the spread of SRMs with the latest patch, which is bad for brawling. A lot of the individual missiles miss the target unless you're literally face hugging. Artemis helps a bit, but some mechs don't have the tonnage and/or crit slots for it.

Interview with Koreanese

Koreanese was the winner of many things in the Spring Clean 'Em Up event. He's a great player and a pretty cool guy. Read about his tournament experience and maybe even learn a few things from his videos.

Author’s Note: I apologize for this being published shamefully late. I waited initially to get a few words direct from Garth or Paul about the accusations of cheating (neither responded), and then real life got busy.

[Lefteye Falconeer]

Thanks for the link. A good read. About the comment right above the last one, looks like they are fixing missile spread on next Tuesday's patch.

[Zaptruder]

Sad to see a true champ leave MWO.

Will endeavour to scream at devs until face is blue for them to fix current state of meta to redress this.

[NRP]

Yeah, I'm kind of bummed too. I don't know him and have never played with or against him, but I can tell from the commentary in his vids that he's a pretty smart and down to earth dude.

Oh well, I'll be sure to drink a Guiness Stout in his honor.

Koreanese, thank you for being part of the community. Many a backside has been handed by you to experienced and new players alike. Although you may not remember me from your countless matches, I did kill you twice (and got killed by you much more than that). I am a Jenner pilot at heart and treats any larger mech as a brawler. In fact, all of my mechs are set up as brawlers/semi brawlers. (Yes, I have tried PPCs and LRMs on 2 of my 5 stalkers but they don't get played much as much as my three LL/ML/SRM brawling stalkers). Also <3 JR7-F <3

I will keep on brawling and giving nice big bear hugs to PPC poptarts, Snipers and LRM boats in your honour. Jay Z

I hope you will come back soon. The balance is better now after the JJ shake fix. Not saying it's perfect, just better. Someone submitted a question for the most recent ATD (40)--asked if PGI would ever consider reaching out to the better players for balance feedback. Hopefully Bryan will answer it next week.

[Hyperlynx]

Just another guy chiming in to say thanks for the vids, and the advice. I've switched to the HBK-4P build and it freakin rocks.

Unimpressed, that is all. So great? bah!
