I personally use and love my SHD-2D and 2D2. Idk why but I work with that mech put up 500+ DMG constantly with 1-3 kills.
So what is your fav outdated mech that is still in use?

Depends on the old mech. Shawks are a bit useful even though a Clan HBK can do its job just the same. Kintaros and Treb just suck especially since Maddogs exists. It comes down to whether there is a new replacement for old mechs.
If Clan AC's werent ****, then the Crow would replace most mediums. Since its stuck using a DOT ballistic weapon, it cant twist like other IS mediums can.

I'd argue though that almost any 'mech still "has it in them" for quick-play purposes. At least at Tier 2 the gameplay isn't so good that you couldn't manage there with any halfway-reasonable build, provided you play with some care.

I can't really consider BJ's or Griffin's "outdated" (but they are my two favorite mediums). In this game, I don't care how old the mech is, if it has mostly high hard points, it is always going to be fairly fresh if not perpetually near the top performers (see Jaggers above...still some of my best stats, not that that means much coming from me).

I still get good results and have fun with:
BNC-3E, 3M
TDR-5SS
Ilya (double AC10's)
Misery (generally any of the decent Stalkers)
DDC, AS7
Dragons (1C, Fang)
GRF (still solid enough for use in comp play)
Jagers
SHD
WVR
TBT-5J
I mean....I get alot of good results from IS mechs...really just depends on when you set the "age limit" here lol.

Old as is before clans showed up or (man I have played this game for awhile and still suck) could go back as far as before the Frat popped up. But really looking for who plays the mechs that are rarely seen on the battlefield. When i see another shawk on my team it is a nice surprise. also Trebs use to like them, now that has to be the least seen mech i can think of.

Do you mean to ask if people are still using 'meta-trash' with good results?

Yes old mechs that are far for meta but ppl still dust off and get respectable scores

Other contenders that are old but still relevant in my opinion:
- Hunchback
- Thunderbolt
- Cataphract
- Stalker
- Banshee
There could be more but those are the ones that come to my mind.

I also did pretty well in Hunchbacks with a 999 damage game in HBK-4P (medium lasers).
You can't get much older than the Hunchies.
