demos could hold it indefinitely to watch sticky traps around corners, as could anyone else to watch around corners realistically. I don't think cancelling had any recovery either.

It promotes friendship and boosts team morale, which gives an unfair advantage to that team.

Unlocks should be standardised to the etf2l unlocks. They're recognised as the best and are what you'll be using during the world championships at i49.

Are you talking about the league that had gunboats and paintrain banned up until 1-2 seasons ago?

Yes. I meant the current etf2l unlocks, not from 2 seasons ago. Your confusion is odd.

what, i think your confusion is odd. etf2l adopted esea unlocks for gunboats and paintrain.
it shouldn't be the other way around.

Considering how well the NA teams did at i46 using vanilla loadouts and then etf2l allowed its current set of unlocks afterwards, I think the way ESEA does unlocks is just fine.

As I understand it the other unlocks are only used to troll PUGs. Apart from flarepunching pyros, which is definitely a mechanic you want in a serious competitive game.

Not true. Ambassador, Cloak and Dagger, Jag, etc., all make the game a bit faster and aggressive. Certain other unlocks like, say, the Righteous Bison, are allowed because they're weaker in actual practice.

Because nothing is more annoying than a Kritzed Santa-Hoovy.

Because the fact that the holiday punch can essentially cause a stun has no place in a competitive format. Sure it would require a krtiz or the heavy somehow managing to get behind the other team, either of which probably wouldn't work 9 times out of 10, it's just the fact that it's possible to do so.

Holiday Punch also has the issue where it doesn't "feel" competitive.
"Oh, I died because I was forced to laugh? Nice competitive game we have here."

useless weapons are banned because they are useless
they dont add anything to the game, and just clutter it up
why bother allowing them.

personally i'm sort of against banning all useless weapons, since it only sort of adds to the idea that "6s is a bunch of weapon banning nazis" that a bunch of people already have
if people want to play like total idiots just let them
