ok

you've said nothing of actual substance in your 8 paragraph counterargument

you're one case -- what about the countless others who have stuck with highlander because of familiarity and never moved on? the "transition" from highlander to 6v6 is just a trap that at best adds needless friction to starting competitive play.

what about the belief that the mode perpetuated; that 9v9 1CL was how the game was designed to be played, and the subsequent public hate the 6v6 community endured for years?

what about the community resources that have to be split because of the existence of two game modes?

what about the now universally-touted advice to start out in highlander no matter what, making highlander the gatekeeper for 6v6?

1) outreach to the highlander community is entirely irrelevant in the context of this argument when the basis is that it shouldn't have existed to begin with
2) given that highlander is/was actually a thing, I remained silent on being anti-highlander during my significant involvement in tf2 and never actively pushed against it
3) it's insane that you believe it's my defacto responsibility (let alone anyone's) to court the highlander community

i don't agree in the slightest

having two widely accepted competitive formats is absurd and a direct impediment to the development of any serious competition. the fact that the overall scene is probably larger because of highlander is irrelevant; the majority of highlander players wouldn't even classified as competitive players in any other scene except tf2's, where glorified pubbing is hailed as something more than what it is.

the uncomfortable truth is that competitive tf2 would be in a much better state today if highlander had never been pushed so aggressively as a stepping stone and newbie friendly format

further promoting highlander is futile at best in light of valve's decision to stamp 6v6 as the official competitive mode
