sigafooI'm looking for what can actively be changed to make it better.
What exactly are you looking for then? People have given you plenty of feedback to work with throughout the past three threads you've made amidst the hate and generic shitposts.
They've offered player-count suggestions and they've also offered suggestions about the pick/ban phase. What is the point of you even looking for criticism and advice if you're literally only looking for shit that makes the gamemode better for specifically you personally? If you want an echo chamber for your own ideas why don't you just set up another steam account and talk back and forth to yourself until you've found some sort of satisfaction?
Also, for the record, none of the quotes or percentages you've used hold any merit to the success of your gamemode whatsoever. None of us even know who these players are, and you even featured a response from someone who literally hasn't played another competitive format. This leads me to believe that far fewer people actually like the gamemode than what you're advertising if you're desperate enough to pick responses from people who literally don't know enough to even make the choice of liking it more than 6s & HL or not (which, by the way, appears to be the intent of showing these quotes at all).
You're free to prove me wrong about this though and post the entirety of the responses. Surely you don't think posting opinions on a gamemode is compromising any sort of privacy right? There should be no issue.
With all of this being said, if you really want to find out just how much people enjoy your gamemode on its own, take the money out of it, and we can truly see where it stands. This doesn't involve reducing the player numbers or changing the pick/ban list, so I'd say you've got more incentive to listen to this suggestion over the ones you've completely disregarded that "ruin" the supposed integrity of prolander.
