Their cloudflare protection makes it a pain in the ass

Beater is working hard behind the scenes to make this ETF2L season happen. I didn't want to commit him until it's 100% though

Thousands still think it, every day

Nobody is suggesting anything else, but it's there and it's users need saving from hell

Yeah, but when did they not handle things badly? Back for now anyway

It is potentially useful in that a new player that is competitively minded will go there first. Players that play MM will at least have some interest in playing a structured format with the focus on the objective. They may even stop playing pyro long enough to actually help their team. Essentially they are self selecting potential competitive players, it seems obvious there should be a focus on converting them.

They probably don't want to maintain the old forum software any more. Security, platform maintenance, all that stuff.

Real talk, can't disagree with this. Instead of dicking around with formats time would better be spent making sure that any player that is competitively minded finds out about their options, and has an easy intro via newbie mixes. The focus has to be on how to move from MM into 6s.

If you use the pick/ban system you only get 4 bans before the picking begins, so probably not

Personal info completely made up, if you can read it

e: forgot to say medic pic from an uberchain creation

I couldn't once choose the executive that decided to fit shitty brake systems to all these failing cars to be run over. I feel like the moral spectrum of the questions isn't broad enough.

Yes. Existing orgs are jumping before they are pushed, although realistically they've already been pushed. It also explains Blizzard's indifference to the existing esports scene.

They're trying to create something on a completely new scale for a game. It'll be interesting to see how well they do but I'm sure they'll find the right price point eventually. If it's low enough for existing esports teams they'll be back, but that would represent a failure on Blizzard's part.

I ran a survey to objectively acquire player opinion on unlocks. I missed the part where any of the analysis proclaimed "TF2 has been ruined". I don't think this kind of hyperbole is useful or constructive.

So do most people

Apart from Medics the Vacc was clearly disliked, it's just outside the bottom 20% of all items. The main other split on the item not illustrated there was NA/EU, with EU clearly holding a more negative opinion of it. Your player consultation confirmed that.
