turtsmcgurtsi don't get why you really need dozens of people to publicly defend it on the forums.
You're kidding right? ESEA admins check forums, 95% of their league wants an item banned, with hardly anyone speaking in favor of the weapon. Admins also speak to players at the LAN and get their opinion. Based off what Killing and Boomer have said, it sounds like players at the LAN are in agreement with his decision.
You still don't see why you should have been more outspoken??
turtsmcgurtsnobody saw this ban coming, especially so far away from the next season. I was waiting on the invite teams to play with the QF more and learn the viable strategies and counters instead of listening to the bandwagon of, honestly, people I have never heard of.
If you didn't see the ban coming you either weren't watching or just have no awareness of the situation.
