Tennex's chart is off.
If you think the red or purple lines are where Mechs should be that's wrong.
He put the Kit Fox ahead of the UrbanMech so according to the red line, the Urbie should be bigger than the Fox. Really? It has never been that way ever.
The Spider comes after the Urbie when it should come before so the Spider and Fox should be flipped at least.
Shadow Hawk, Griffin and Wolverine are much better in game than they should be.
Some Mechs have width that is fine, Nova and King Crab being examples. Both appear to have problems by the chart when they do not except the Nova could shrink height some but width, nope.
Both the Hunchback and Centurion became pudgy from spending a bit too much time at fast food joints but both are still seen in game and good, the Trebuchet is a whole different thing and deserved priority.
The Quickdraw is worse than the Dragon (if it even has issues) but the chart makes the Dragon look worse.
I could go on but those are enough to show the chart is off. Not everything in the same tonnage needs the same pixel count (for whatever reason that is being used).

it has that torsoshape (fat) and nothing will change it.
Except it was never designed to be as wide as a Stalker torso but that is how it is in MWO, then add in the large boxy ears bigger than the Stalker's small, slim ones.

I'm pretty sure all players need premium time to be able to have a private match.
You need Premium Time to set variables (map, mode, etc.) and allow less than 12 per side. You can get 22 other people to join a free Private Match and let you two go one on one, random map, mode, etc.

Honestly after thinking about this the entire poll is a sham.
Most if not all of these mechs need rescaling. The fact that we're "voting" on which we want is asinine. How much time has been wasted by the devs doing this vote when it could have been devoted to actually rescaling these atrocities.
None because the PGI staff that would do this also has other things to do. Time Management.

For those not understanding why the Kit Fox is a favorite for rescaling, here's the reason:
It's a 30 ton light. It can't carry significant firepower, and it only runs 107kph. The worst part is that it's nearly the size of a 40 tonner, the Cicada. So it gets hit with the double whammy of big size and low speed, leading it to not be very survivable.
While I agree that the Catapult, Quickdraw, Nova and Awesome all need rescaled, (along with a dozen more mechs at least) I feel the Kitfox is most important due to light gameplay being focused on size. That "play it like a light medium" crap doesn't fly here. I'll repeat: It's a 30 tonner with paper armor. It shouldn't take up much more room than an Urbie, the IS mech that mirrors it closest.
For those not understanding why the Kit Fox is in no dire need of rescaling.
Not all Mechs of the same tonnage were ever made to have the same size. Fox has always been wider than a Urbie. It can carry significant firepower, 107 KPH is pretty darn good and was never meant to play like every other Mech out there.
Part of the problem is people want every Mech to play the same. They expect a Spider to play like an Atlas and have the same killing & damage rates among others. They get this from other FPS games where you play someone who can use every weapon all the others use, have the same HP and other stats, etc.
This is not those games.
I don't play my Foxes like Mediums, I play them in a different role and do quite well with them.
