Reasons to support 6v6:

More competitive at it's core
Often more exciting to watch
Matches and directly competes with overwatch's 6v6
Can be easier for newer players to watch and understand
There's an established paid league with prize pools for valve to support
6's has a lot more LAN events than highlander

There's 6

And then its easier to spectate, which makes it a win-win for both the audience and the players, both are which esports' market.

What exactly is up in your ass, Demarini ?

For you. For a competitive player. Most pubbers don't want dynamic flow. They don't want anything confusing.That takes effort to learn and practice to get good at. They want to be good now, so they need something easy to digest It's the reason why CSGO has weapons like the p90 and why pistols are so strong and why the game in general is much easier/dumbed down compared to CS 1.6.

You guys all look at it from your perspective, which is quite obviously biased. Look at it from Valve, and more importantly, the average pubbers perspective.

Plus the waiting times would a lot shorter in 6s, just queuing up for scout/soldier(pocket/roamer)/demo and medic. That's 4(5) queue spots instead of HL's 9.

Hey man I was just saying what I thought. You guys are the one that took offense.

CS:GO is a game built at its core to be competitive even to the average player in Matchmaking.

Despite there being weapon imbalances and issues you might see with the game people still have to learn to play the game and be competitive to succeed, the same could be said if matchmaking is added into TF2. You are just angry and I dont know why.

Yeah that's a problem nowadays.. Nobody wants to take effort to get good at something, everything has to come right away. Fucking lazy queers.

matchmaking aside, imagine b4nny's stream consistently on the main menu, his viewership is going to skyrocket and so will pubbers' knowledge of competitive.

Yeah those first few are real unbiased opinions. I'm sure pubstars agree with you.

Valve doesn't care about LAN events or pre-established leagues. Why would they? How does that make them any money? If by some miracle highlander takes off and the TF2 competitive community explodes they might make a highlander LAN event with a decent prize pool from hat money, but they aren't about to just starting losing money throwing LAN events for a dying community. They need to see the financial benefit first.

another reason for valve to support 6's is because every major Organizatin/LAN event would probably rather support 6's. Getting 18 people on stage is ridiculous. 9 players per team is just too much for any major event.

Trust me, I am not angry in the slightest. To be honest I feel like I've had some really level headed unbiased posts, but you guys just angrily -frag and ignore all the logic behind it. If anything you guys are angry. I would love it for competitive TF2 to succeed and grow. It would be great for gaming.

But it won't.

probably a pyro main

I don't even play TF2, never have.

I play real competitive games.

And yet you come here telling everyone how shit is gonna turn out ? Ok.

Off in the distance I heard a cry for help. A cry for an unbiased opinion.

I mean regardless of whether I play or not it's not hard to see what Valve will do based on their history. The only response to what I said was blatantly biased opinions saying the 6v6 is a better format so Valve will use that one. That's just...childish almost. DIS ONE BETTER. Yes to you...

You're assuming the average person is incapable of deciding to compete, and incapable of expanding their horizons in a new competitive format that will potentially be one-click away.

"xd"

I love 6s a lot, but I will say that HL might be a better format if they fix the imbalanced unlocks.

Kind of yeah. It's human nature to dislike change, especially when they've grown accustomed to something over a long period of time. Most people grew to enjoy TF2 for the pub aspect of it. Changing to a 6v6 competitive format that limits their classes will feel like a slight against them. They won't take it as expanding horizons. Having to learn what would pretty much be an entirely different kind of game will sound like shit to them, most people at this point have probably been playing TF2 for years, and pubbers have been playing all classes in chaotic game modes for years. That's what they've come to enjoy. That's what they will enjoy. To just expect them to instantly like an entirely different game is crazy, and super risky from Valve's end.

Do you have a Ph.D in shitposting or what

What's shitty about the posts? Can you tell me? Like go into some deep analysis, don't just take the easy way out, come on man you're better than that. Seriously unless you can tell me what is wrong with the posts outside of the fact that they're a harsh truth then you should probably go back to sniffing glue.

can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen

TF2 is more like...a cool breeze on an autumn day. I felt Metroid Prime Hunters was a better competitive game. You know I was top 5 Trace in that game at one point? Duel mode too. Wish they had hats though.

"I play real competitive games"
"unbiased opinions"

Have you even played any of the other games that are considered "eSports" today? Absolutely everybody in dota pubs, league normals, and csgo community gives a shit about their rank. All those games with ranking systems that require you to learn and practice the correct way to play them, people take interest in. I don't know a single person that doesn't play dota, league, or csgo that doesn't also play ranked and doesn't at the very least try to gain rank. "They don't want confusing". Only complete noobs (to the entire game, not just comp) would be confused after having already played 9v9 matchmaking or whatever default match making they impliment first. The type of people that ask why people aren't buying novas or why Master Yi isn't being picked are the type of people that "don't want confusing".

what's wrong with the posts is you aren't following this simple advice
