mustardoverlordvanillaThe difference between Ruwin and an iron scout vs. TMP and an iron pyro is laughable.
Mustard, we get your point, it would make more sense to have 2 heavies, 3 medics, and 4 demomen in highlander, wouldn't it? Area denial, heals, damage? By your logic, that would be the best way, right?
Well we don't care that scouts do more damage than spies or pyros, people like to play those classes, they are very useful for specific things that happen pretty frequently in highlander (things that scouts just aren't as good for), and that's why people enjoy highlander.
you completely, one hundred percent missed my point
I AM NOT ARGUING FOR CHANGING HL IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER
I am just discussing the inherent limitations of hl as a competitive format, being as how some people on a team are forced to play a less important role than others, something that I think is poor for a competitive game (although perhaps that's just my feeling)
I am forced to keep posing these scenarios because none of the hl players here seem willing to admit, even for a second, that certain classes are just overall worse than others.
that doesn't mean hl shouldn't be one of every class. obviously it should be. that doesn't mean hl isn't fun. I love hl.
it means exactly what I said.
scout is an overall better class than pyro or spy, PERIOD. this cannot be debated. it is a fact.
I think you missed *my* point. Using your logic we can argue that the 6v6 format is limited because we only use 1 demoman. They are the primary damage dealer, right? Scout is a lesser role than demo, right? Wouldn't you trade 1 scout for 1 demo on your 6s team? 6s is inherently limited because we can only have 1 demo.
