This is why in my opinion hanging back with gekkos or behind cover with hydras is a bad idea. It might work and of late it's been working much better however that is where a players development of skill ends. Case in point, I'd like to present 2 examples: Exhibit A, This player with ~2700 victories (likely 2-3x as many games) is a great example of stagnation. Frankly, judging by the no.s it is possible to surpass his/her offensive capability at level 25 and/or with less slots  Exhibit B, Now this guy is a gem. 3K+ victories and this is all he has to show for it? His reliance on stand off attacks to earn him damage has in turn damaged his ability to fight <600m Near maxed weapons RDB, meched by a 9/8 Doc in <30s, PDB with near maxed plasmas stalker and destroyed by a 9/9 Thunder Carnage. Then outcome an aggressive Rog and lights out it was for this final 2 gekko/hydra bots.  Conclusion, brawling although not the most effective on some maps is preferable to stand off camping if a player wishes to improve. |

It doesn't seem like epiphany is the word you wanted. Or I am misunderstanding the title.

Bear in mind, that if they tweak their hangers from knife-fighting to range, their numbers may change.
Case in point, up until recently I was embracing the meta. I was never "all that" but I had a 3550 rating, averaged about 540k damage, right around 50% win rate (cursed MM!), and just under 4 kills per fight with a hanger that was mostly 9/11. Since changing up my setup to a much lower leveled spite setup, my rating is down to just over 3100, and average just over 400k damage, a little over 30% win rate, and under 4 kills per fight. As things continue to normalize, I expect the rating to drop further, win rate to stay about the same and kill rate to drop further before they start climbing again.
Another point is the numbers don't always show the entire story.

There is a proper way to camp. But there is a time and a place.
99% of the players don't know when or where it is appropriate.

Don't mind me, MCYL . I saw amidf 's comment and saw a golden opportunity for a meme. I was torn between referencing The Princess Bride or paraphrasing The Three Amigoes. I'm merely throwing popcorn from the cheap seats. Q.E.D. |

OK, epiphany is what you meant. It's just awkwardly phrased so I thought perhaps you meant epitome.
Carry on.

On that thought epitome would work fine, hmm abstract vodka talking here. And not long ago Chinnmaxx and I were just trashing another type of weak. These guys has no excuses losing to us.   |

Evidence should help the climate change / anti-climate change folks a lot, depending on their point of view. |
