I don't understand people. So many people wanted to play without scout speed on medic, and the main result of this was that mid fights mattered more. It was easier to kill a medic, and then roll to the enemy last if you were the better teamfight team.

Badlands (or any map) being hard to push out of last has the exact same effect. If you are attacking a last that is difficult to push out of, then you can take more risks attacking (see examples bear listed in his post such as double sac or trading ubers), since if the strategy fails, you have a natural safety buffer given by the map. Therefore, mid fights matter more, since you are (generally) on the enemy last if you win mid.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of maps that are hard to push out of last from (snakewater/badlands/gully/metalworks), since you can do crazy shit when attacking. I don't see many other teams fully use strategies based on the map to their fullest potential. Most of the time it's just sniper angles, sticky traps, soldier jumps and hiding spots that need to be learned. Noone uses a crazy strat that the maps allow you to use.

tl:dr it's not the maps fault people play like pussies.

wait

he is not only a male and turkish, he also sent me this, ridiculous.

He also said he will molest aph since he is short, Please ban this individual. Thanks in advance.

I agree, they could be on the list, but I would believe them to be a weaker team than the rest (due to recent scrim results), plus moving enough players around (both leaving and receiving) to actually reasonably be div 1 level. Unlike the other 3 teams I mentioned.

You guys are pussies for not playing prem and forcing a lower skill team into prem.

Legit, crying about losing and "uhh i dont want to tryhard", but then tryharding anyway and saying "I wasn't really tryharding, but THEY were" when you lose, is stupidest thing i've heard to buff your fragile little egos.

Respect to virtus bro, going prem when they were third div 1 last season. Respect to THE GAY JAIL going prem, even if forced to by admins.

Disrespect Boinicle, coming second div 1 and pussying out not going prem, even when they played prem qualifiers and got through. Disrespect beastmode, going div 1 even though they easily have capability to combat prem teams. Disrespect FIVE GUYS BURGERS AND FRIES, getting prem playoffs last season, swapping two players roles and getting a new medic, and saying that they are no longer prem skill to get into div 1 (when the two players swapped are onto equally skilled roles, and the new medic is a new medic, doesn't matter).

Pootis

Why play the game if you don't want to try?

stepanex, some things are more important than that right now. He is now contemplating cancelling because you planted the idea that social distancing is important.

he did it, he's going on a date, and I for one (as his carer) am thrilled!

The changes for meet your match were directed towards competitive 6s and it's meta. It was designed to bring problem weapons back into line so they didn't rule in matchmaking. If they made a change for that update with pubs in mind, then the rest of hope some people still held for valve should have been gone years ago.

We don't actually know his argument as to why the current game state is good and how his vision will make it better.

He has one, but he doesn't want to share it with anyone. His reasoning for not sharing it is that he wants people to figure it out themselves. Which doesn't make any sense, since it's an entirely subjective matter of enjoyment.

If he just said his own reasons for liking the changes, there would be so much less backlash because at least he is honest and there is a starting point, so there can be actual discussion done. Instead he just insults people blindly whilst not listening to their side, assuming you are either with him (smart, intelligent, twitch subs), or against him (idiots) and believing that there is no middle ground. He says he has set people straight and explained their wrongdoings but he has never done that. There is 0 evidence.

However, there is evidence of the community giving extra things a go. Relaxing the whitelist, trying weapons, trying new maps, trying new gamemodes. Plenty of people in the community love theory crafting, coming up with new spam angles and strategies with different weapon and rollouts. Working out what counters what.

This thing, the medic scout speed buff has been in the game for nearly 4 years. The community has been so vocal on how it is a bad thing for so long. How it makes the game less fun overall for all classes. 4 years of testing this one change. For most people, that is enough time to see if something is good or not. For b4nny, he is either blind to the community, ignores them intentionally, or honestly believes his own opinion. None of these are really fine, since the first two are toxic attitudes towards the community, and the last is awful since he refuses to share his reasoning for his opinion so no discussion can be made. As a community, we kinda need a person like b4nny as a leader since he has a lot of influence, but he is just not the right person. As blunt as it is, he is just not mature or smart enough. Which is a shame.

This proves all outrage against b4nny in this thread if a (presumed) follower questioning our ideals doesn't understand b4nny's own argument.

I have been saying it for so long, there is some proof to support this. Mostly that b4nny's design philosophy was about making the overpowered weapons more in line with others and having everything available, whether that was by buffing the weak or nerfing the strong was up for debate. He has always been vocal on this, and vocal on trying new things to see if they work.

Med scout speed buff is a thing because he wanted the quickfix brought in line with other mediguns to allow for it to be unbanned. Whether it was him telling valve that this is a solution, or them coming up with a way to equalize all weaponry is up in the air, but it was most definitely started by b4nny saying he wants all weapons equal power as the way forward.
