It was being very busy at work and hitting a nightmare git merge conflict that stopped me continuing with it. Now I'll have some free time so I'm weighing up bringing it back and making the necessary modifications to get some help.

Speaking as someone who has sunk ridiculous time into community stuff for nothing, if the comp scene were big enough to make projects significantly profitable there would be far better facilities because people would be able to make building and maintaining them their jobs. The trading scene has a lot of long term high quality services because they are profitable.

However I don't think this will produce any kind of significant cash for comp.tf, the ads just won't produce high value clicks.

Well the tone is probably a bit excessive, we're not exactly uncovering an arch criminal here.

The main problem with the proposed project is that it doesn't offer anything significantly new in addition to existing sites and I think there's a lack of research into the subject, what's out there already, what opinions people have expressed on forums before. If the question is "would you like something nice for free?" then the answer will always be yes. I don't see this becoming used much though without some significantly stronger elements he probably isn't in a position to provide.

Going back to what Valve asked of the competitive community some time ago and the ban phase that it still seems they will include in match making (there are no statements to the contrary afaik), which unlocks are not fun to play against is one of the key things they want to know. They just want it in a way that can be analysed and tracked over time.

Several of these I've seen justified because they're annoying. So I guess it's related to the level of trolling in comp games and how likely these are going to be used just to piss people off.

Thanks Sweden

Blizzard will support an Overwatch pro scene so as long as they're doing well in that then they will actually be pro players, as opposed to TF2, Quake, Tribes "pro" players. That will make a huge difference.

And as long as Overwatch's skill ceiling is high enough in any aspect of the game, which looks like it will largely come down to teamwork, coordination and an understanding of the metagame, there will be plenty of challenge.

Not all of the top TF2 players can be successful in the game, but most of them will probably be better rewarded than you currently are in TF2 even as a mediocre pro. There are plenty of pull factors.

Sorry but for the safety of the rest of the TF2 community you're going to have to move into a hazardous materials container. Lan attendance is allowed, but only in a hazmat suit.
