You have reminded me of the great guilt I feel for being such an asshole back then. I truly feel sorry for those personally offended by how dumb I was back then and hope they can have faith that I have changed a lot within the year.

conbud im startin to believe u rly think the holocaust didnt happen....

Doesn't this mean more for 6s then? All the best people I met online played on Kid's Next Door (my HL team). I've won 2x with them and we won a showmatch together. I never hung out with my teammates in 6v6 like I did with my HL ones. By all rights I should be biased towards HL but I'm not. I want TF2 to grow. I care about this game a good bit, even after over half of my tf2 pals left. 6v6 is the way for the game to grow, not HL. I'm sorry.

Highlander will always exist and people should play it if they enjoy it. It just should not be the primary direction the competitive focus for this game should go.

I love HL and I love 6s. I've spent a lot of time trying to understand both and reaching the highest level I can in both. The reality is you can't count on HL. Enigma posted way back saying that Valve (to his face) did not like highlander. No matter their reason for it, that clearly indicates that's not the game they want people to play. Even if you believe that they didn't want 6s to be played either, that's the game mode they are trying to support right now.

HL is too hectic to spectate (no matter how much you believe 6s to be hard to spectate it's easier than HL to follow). HL requires way too many players playing with way too many restrictions. I'm aware of the 2 HL only LANs but I really believe those would've better benefited for 6s. I think a big thing people need to see here and is that 6v6 and HL are not part of the same scene as the only similarities is that it's TF2. The actual gameplay between both is so widely different and the two communities are so openly at each others throats.

I believe the HL guys should be focused on helping 6s grow instead of being so close minded on the one game mode they probably got wins on. Please stop being so ignorant and focus on growing one game mode for now and you can worry about HL later with a better foundation to work on.

ether is really good

brian, ether, fabulous, rightjustify, and juicy are really up and coming

Outside the banlist I believed ETF2L HL to be fine. If you don't think the Beggar's or Soda Popper is not bannable then your players are way more tolerant than NA players or you guys are missing a few IQs to actually see why they are absolutely broken. The only maps I've hated in ETF2L was that one koth map that wasn't even finished and had two cap points (they allowed that??) and warmtic. Other than that, it's purely the unlocks that make it unenjoyable.

I have never cared about the machina, or short circuit.

The only reason I ever got for why their banlist is terrible is "You should stop being a baby and play around them"

dab

i didnt mean to cause this rando im so sorry

Cool beans? Neato? This is gonna be a neato burrito update. That's maximum neato.

But a roamer on sniper hitting shots means they'll be way more useful tbh. The amount of reward you can get from the very little risk you have to put yourself on sniper is crazy.

I don't see why a handicap would exist for a Grand Final and especially for nL.

nameless were underdogs....?
