Personally I'm in favor of having defined match times since it makes scheduling easier and anything to curb the match scheduler suicide rate is something we should pursue.

Guys it's not a matter of whether or not surfing or jumping or any of that shit is useful in 6s (obviously it is). Jumping in ammomod gives a definitive advantage because you get fucking launched and with that time you can spam like 4 splash rockets on someone while having only taken maybe 100 yourself. The only way you can equalize this is by hitting airshots (hence why tictac was so good because if you juggled him he spiral strafed down and was able to easily respond to the damage you got on him to begin with).
It's the same thing as complaining about people that jump on gpit b roof and just spam down on people fighting others in DM. It's an easy way to get a very impressive scoreboard but you're practicing something that is mostly irrelevant/incredibly easy to begin with. The issue with a lot of training mods is that the most effective means for doing really well are often contrary to the best method for actually practicing. Ammomod is unparalleled for ground game practice and 1v1 movement, but if someone is just going to cjump and force you to practice airshots then you aren't getting much practice out of it either.
As for surfing rockets around the arena, it's still frowned on since you're still jumping most likely, but no one is going to complain if you are getting popped up and air strafing because it's meaningful to practice what to do when you do get popped.
For the record, I'm talking only about ammomod. I don't fuck with MGE.
heerobut lately hes been the only one representing the old values of the tf2 community so i respect him more
let it never be said I don't stick to my guns

atmo2sy_morphiendSpending your time flying away from your opponent in fairly obvious directions seems like a strange tactic to gain points, but ok.atmoWhat's wrong with rocket surfing in ammomod? It's the only fun to be had in that arena.
Because ammomod like every other -mod is intended to be used to get better; jumping and surfing constantly is a great way to maintain twl div 16 ground game, but it'll let you get those precious ELO points against someone looking to actually get better.
From my perspective I try to consider the people I am playing against as bots, bots that sometimes play in annoying ways but whatever they're just bots. Helps you to not get too invested in the process and maintain that goal of improving in the macro context.
How is crouch-jumping explosions so you can spam the ground while they have to pray for airshots not a ploy to gay someone out of the arena? "Don't jump" has been standard ammomod policy since before even I started playing it. If anything I picked it up off tictac/kayp.
WandumDronuxwhutmage24365What exactly is your proposed ruleset?
Take whats good from both of the rulesets, and turn them into one ruleset, i dont have a proposed ruleset, because i feel like a lobby every once and a while does not qualify me to make these kinds of calls.
Congratulations, you're now officially the smartest new player in the community.
I'm being serious for the record, it's refreshing to see someone acknowledge that they don't have the answers.
I have to question why ESEA even pretends the dead-line isn't going to be extended when the rosters weren't unlocked until double digit hours to the deadline.

If you're jumping in ammomod you deserve every iota of shit-talk coming your way
also all shit-talking related duties come free for whatever roster I end up on
I'm currently roster-riding/rarely backing up for new faith church gaming and I've realized I actually have the time to commit to a team so I guess I'm now open to actively filling a role for a team.
I can back-up/play any class, but for best results or serious starting offers keep it to pocket. If you give me forward notice I should be around any night you need me, if it's an emergency I'll likely be around but I can't guarantee you anything.
If you don't already know me I'm probably less inclined to back-up for you.
Just by virtue that it's a really good song/meaningful I'd suggest rooster by alice and chains
