So yeah, don’t use these.

i have autism and must play my main (engie btw)

TF2PL Admin here. No, these are not allowed.

stop

their was actually nothing against them in the rules i talked to an admin he changed the rules so they were banned I'm sorry that u got banned

they changed the rules on the website to get them banned

TF2PL is 6s based, right?

I don't see offclass-icons necessary, since you can't technically "main" those in 6s.
Sure, you can have preference what you like to play, but it's better to be flexible with offclasses IMO.

Why would you get banned for using them? Afaik the pictures are usually ignored by the captains, atleast in advanced.

Might as well have an "I don't want to be picked" image for some of them.

Theyve been banned since day -2 before you guys could even start playing

Yea it's been in the rules from the start.
You need to use the ones downloadable at tf2pl.com and you can't modify them.
Not many bans have happened afaik, but the minor edits of profile pictures some use are not allowed either.

I believe the rule is you can use the Faceit's avatar cropper when you upload the picture to zoom in to emphasize a class.

TF2PL Admin here, yes you can zoom into a specific class to demonstrate a preference, but all other classes in the picture must be visible. No entirely zooming into one class so only one can be seen.

maybe but it wasn't listed as that on the website and that was changed

u can change it and really for an urban u will be back in no time

Why do you think there's some sort of conspiracy against you

We should create a special one for offclasser like you

these avatars dont matter anyways every 2nd game in advanced is vs a full time pyro anyways

This was there when I registered on day 2 of EU TF2PL https://imgur.com/a/5c7rq
"official avatar pack" "required". This isn't rocket science. An admin even told you it was there since before the NA launch so it's been there for over a month.

You didn't read the rules correctly when you registered. That's fine. Many people just click the buttons without reading the instructions and hope they do it correctly. The discord support channel is full of people like that. But don't try to backpedal by lying about it. Especially when everyone already knows the truth.

Use an official avatar, play the game. Simple.

Avatars have always been enforced, you told me you misunderstood the rules so I assumed they needed to be clearer. (https://i.imgur.com/TGbefH9.png), I did not say the rule changed or would change in any way, and it also turns out that rules are very clear (Displaying the TF2PL class preference avatars on your FACEIT profile, [..] [is] required and failure to comply will result in the following bans)

We have a reporting system in place.

why?

Not sure this is true, I haven't seen a single full time Pyro in Advanced, I wish there was a full time Pyro make it more interesting than some Div 2 player perma feeding.

The avatars are also the funniest thing I seen I am sure they work better at Beginner levels than Higher up where everyone knows everybody's main class / secondary class skills but they really are a lackluster way of substituting having people add up to Pugs on a specific class.

I been forced to play Scout / Medic more than Demo / Soldier (my avatar btw) in Invite Pugs because the system just is fundamentally flawed. I hope TF2PL is working well for Pugs on a lower skill level, which is great but really doesn't seem suited for Invite pugs, may as well just go back to PugChamp or do a doublemix.
