Can't wait to see the new PL map in action.

I encourage anyone and everyone to use this. It's best we try to grow comp in as many ways possible.

I think i finally see the issue here. There is a group of people that desperately want their favorite game to become a popular E-Sport and another group of people that want their favorite way of playing the game to become a famous E-Sport. And the unfortunate reality is that that thous 2 things are not necessarily mutually inclusive. People such as Dane want to game to become more competitive by any means necessary, while others want a vary specific way of playing the game to be the thing that becomes popular.

You're an idiot...

My Hero Academia S2 should be fun. Also can't wait to watch Your Name in theaters.

This is so stupid it might just work...

TF2 is notorious for having a vary difficult learning curve, how do you hope to overcome it?

There are so many thing's wrong with this paragraph i don't even know where to start...

"They literally want(ed?) competitive to be the exact opposite of what I think everyone is here for."

Yes. Because the game is almost a decade old and most of the progress competitively speaking was only made in the past year. It's only recently that they decided to urban a bunch of weapons that were previously disallowed with the Global White list. Weapons like the CM5K and the Rescue Ranger were finally allowed to shine. Just the other day i was playing FaceIT and got a 2K with my sentry wile defending last, ran to mid, got a 3K with the RR itself, and then built a surprise sentry on the enemy's last resulting in another kill. How many times have you seen an Engie Coast-to-Coast push? I know there's probably a large quantity of people seething in their rage at the mere thought of an Engie pushing into last with lvl 3s but that's the kind of plays that (at higher levels) make people in the crowd go crazy. Trust me, people LOVE unorthodox strategies.

"They want wins to have more to do with the weapons picked than the skill of each player and team."

...

"Un fucking real. What is with this mindset!?!?"

What's with the mindset of clinging to an out-dated meta that has proven to result in sluggish games that stalemate and has a vary narrow appeal? If this were any other E-Sport, Soldiers and Scouts would have been nerfed heavily by now. I went to ESA and had a freaking blast, but i can guarantee for every 2 minute perfect round roll, there was a 10-15 minute stalemate where absolutely nothing happened (personally i think that's an issue with 5cp itself as a gamemode, but that's beside the point (No pun intended)). Something has to change.

"If any real sport started being more about what clothes and shoes the players are wearing as opposed to how well they play the fucking game, they'd be stupid as shit and lose their audience."

Did you literally just compare running Black Box Roamer to using different shoes...?

"Why do people want esports to operate on such a superficial level?"

Nobody is suggesting that. They're actually suggesting the exact opposite. Metas change and evolve. Sometimes in vary subtle ways like running at least on Fire-Punch user on team to deal with all the Bullet-Punch, Technician, Scizors running around; and sometimes in massive ways like Deciding on a whim that Lina should be played mid with a Eul's Scepter instead of a Support. Thous subtle changes happen occasionally in TF2. Like when the meta shifted from Shotgun to Gunboats. But thous massive changes seem to almost never happen because people are to stubborn to make the jump. Do know for how long BattleFury Ember Spirit was considered the absolute only way of playing the goddamn hero? But then some idiot thought it would be funny to buy a Veil on him and just run at people with Flame Guard and bursting them with triple Remnant; and now that's wildly considered to be the best way of playing him. Calling these kinds of shifts in the meta "superficial" honestly makes you look naive at best, and ignorant at worst.

That was Sanders...

Because that's not how basically every other E-Sport works. In dota, you don't get to remove Eye of Skadi because its "unfun to play against".

It was only allowed, for like, a day. That's not long enogh for people to get over the meme part of it.

I think the current white list is pretty good. Maybe we can unban the BASE Jumper to diminish the usage of gunboats as you mentioned.

I was making my account when i accidentally hit Enter to early. I want my name to be "LegendaryR'QA". If apostrophes are not allowed "LegendaryRQA" is fine to.

Thank you for your time.
