For many Highlander players the appeal of HL is inversely related to what is unappealing about HL to 6's players: Individual accomplishment isn't rewarded, it's hard to make plays etc, you hardly ever feel like you have a major impact on the game.
Now this also means: if ur shit, nobody will really notice. You will probably get some random bullshit kills here and there (especially using the help of gimmicky unlocks) and still be satisfied about your game. If ur shit in 6's, you won't have much fun and people will see you as the weak link very quickly.

This looks like a top quality thread let's start it up again.

mthere is a class that has invisibility and an instant kill button
there is a class that builds robots that aim for him or have bullets with no falloff
and i havent even talked about heavy
Are you still talking about Highlander or are you talking about defending last on 6s?
Like really, why is there this hate. You are not forced to play highlander, but yet still there is this bashing. Just because you don't understand it, that doesn't make it shit. Personally I find Highlander strategically more complex, but 6s is more fun for the killing part for me. I play both and I love both, let's all get together and have fun.

You guys really know how to flog a dead horse into a fine paste.
Vish024If you like 6s, don't enjoy most unlocks and like a more organised style of play then so be it but there's no rational reason for this blatant elitism displayed by many 6s players. It's these sorts of people that are poisoning the TF2 community as a whole. HL is just as great as 6s, if you don't like it then by all means play 6s and enjoy yourselves but there's no need for this standoffish, petulant and ridiculous hatred directed towards HL.
Case closed. Move on.

no one goes out of their way to bash 9v9 people just think of it as less of an "esport" (rofl) it's kind of like depicting golf as less of a sport than waterpolo, who gives a fuck.
