So what it boils down to is 6s players are expecting highlander players to put in the effort that they themselves aren't putting in?

Should probably point out that this is an argument over a hypothetical concept with very little proof.

What's stopping ETF2L from doing a 6s Open in a few weeks and announcing it after matchmaking is released to draw in in players?

Should probably point out that with matchmaking being released shortly new players will find 6v6 very accessible, so I don't see how an initiative to allow players to try highlander at the same time can be seen as splitting the community, I see it as broadening the horizons.

Also all these dev intentions arguments are bullshit. There is a format with a meta around it, it works, deal with it.

The argument that HL is a stepping stone to 6s is ludicrous.

The amount of prerequisite knowledge of how to play a map that's required to compete in HL in comparison to 6s makes it much harder for new players.

The way that each class has a different value in highlander makes it much harder for newer players to understand whether they have an advantage in a fight or not.

I agree with enigma's point, because I feel that there will be people who tried to get into "competitive" by playing highlander and will have lost and not understood why, which can be frustrating. I have first hand experience of this with one of the first teams I joined doing a lobby stack and getting destroyed by Tseini, the team disbanded after.

In 6v6 new players will get killed purely from being alone or losing fights. It's very easy for new players to understand that they had to take a 1v3 or that they lost a 1v1. It's not very easy for a new player to understand why the enemy sniper is able to get into positions to peak your medic, or why you should push from certain places depending on what picks you have.

That being said I prefer highlander for the strategy and teamplay, and if you want a properly accessible gamemode for new players you should probably do ultiduo tournaments.

I don't want to be the guy to ask about lolhl, but I haven't seen anyone else ask about it (inb4 downfrags). Do valve care about the mode? (yes I know there's a 9v9 option in matchmaking)

I know its a vague question, but if I get an answer I'm expecting it to be vague.

does prec still work?

For me anyway, same messages are output to the console as prec, only under demo support.

Also doesn't autorecord demos on tournament mode, I imagine by auto-record competitive it means matchmaking. A screenshot of the results was taken when I manually started it on a tournament mode server, but the demo didn't stop recording at the end of the game. Also no status screenshots.

I went to i55 as a spec and I just got people with byoc tickets to let me past the security people, was pretty reliable.

does adding custom crosshairs just work by editing hudlayout.res like other huds? for some reason adding things to crosshairs/hudcrosshairs.res doesn't do anything, will my custom crosshairs be removed if I update the hud using the batch file?

Is it possible to make the health display change colour based on how much health you have?
