Sometimes that single minded focus miraculously turns into a steamroll:

.. and that Ladies and Gentlemen is why they call the Hunchback the work horse of the battlefield.
Decent tonnage / damage ratio, good heat efficency, versatile loadout, survivabilty when piloted with care, advantageous speed and dangerous when ignored.


Note:
Chrome trimmings, Tinted glass, Recaro seat and Five-Point Seatbelt sold seperately

Of course it isn't always bad, it makes at least half of the players remarkably happy! The thing is, those happy folks are your enemies. You don't want to make your enemies happy.

Well in the video it was the "Chase the Jenner" team that was happy and the team the Jenner belonged to that was sad ;)

Squirrel! only works if the other team push while you're all noobing around. Its pretty useless on Frozen due to the dropship camp. No Jenner pilot worth their weight will attempt Squirrel! on frozen.

Enjoyed the vid anyway ;)

I think the Jenner in the video had skimped on engine size too, going 140-150 he shoulda gotten away.

Maaaybeee he didn't want to get away, maaaybeee he wanted noobzilla to chase him. Only he didn't expect Noobzilla to eat him lol.
Besides
The winning team stayed together
All ways had at least 3 mechs firing at a single target
Used cover
Dam shooting at that weak back armor works don't it.

.
Yes it is, while pugging, you will have Mechs that are in no way suitable for going after a Light Mech doing so, thus reducing fire concentration on targets that need the attention of an "ASSAULT" Mech..
.
Your statement is of course the exception to the rule, not the standard....

That's why I started chasing the Jenner, stick w/the team and get them back on target quicker.

It's better to take a bad shot and deal some damage than take no shot and deal no damage, as long as you aren't running hot. Not all shots can be good shots, unless you take a lot fewer shots.
