[…]

One soldier’s fun is another medic’s nightmare…or something.

Just curios, as a fellow Medic, why do you see trading shotgun for gunboats a bad day for Medic? I mean I understand the benefits of gunboats, but having shotgun makes him more dangerous (imho). Anyway, the upcoming season will give me the answer I guess.

Basically it means that there’s a Soldier in midair going for you at any given time. Yes, the actual threat in a 1v1 situation is diminished; but the Soldier trades that for about a dozen more tries per map.

Over time the suicidal soldiers will calm down a bit and be more effective, but the higher pace stands. Which is a good thing in my opinion. More airshots. Always good!

Just take a gamble. Add everything, let the whiners quit, and we might actually have a decent community with an enjoyable competitive scene. Worst comes to worst, a bunch of prem teams leave, their spots get filled, and we have a slightly lower skilled league that doesn’t matter anyway to 95% of the teams who play in this league.

Or just play vanilla. Because when you allow a couple of unlocks, you’re going to see justification threads for every unlock under the sun (by me mostly), and it’s all going to still come down to what a couple of prem teams / players want. Might as well just keep it simple either way.

I still vote for allow all… ban anything that is proven to be completely broken, or massively unsuitable for 6v6 play (heavy justification required). Still, no one cares what I think and never has, so I’ll just go back to commentating TF2 games blindfolded because the fights are so predictable and mundane ;)

We’ve been playing with unlocks every season since they’ve come out; ETF2L hasn’t been unlock free since the game was. You’re more then welcome to try and make unlocks threads to try and justify them in the same way medlocks are.

Is unpredictability something we really want to strive for in competitive games? maybe we should turn crits on or damage spread on too? I don’t want 6v6 to turn out like highlander, which is an eyesore to watch due to it being a mixed race miscarriage of bright lights and brain damage (although fun to play dont get me wrong)

I think a lack of randomness is exactly what allows skill to have grip on any sport, and without that we aren’t a competitive scene; we’re a coin flip to 1st place.

again, my 2p

Just.. whatever you do.. just no.. please?

Kritz is too unpredictable, I believe we should ban it.

This is gonna be messy.
