We've received several questions and comments regarding our weapon and class restrictions, so I’d like to take a moment to clarify the reasoning behind these decisions.
The recent changes to weapon restrictions are a direct response to ongoing community discussions, specifically surrounding weapons such as the Market Gardener, Quickiebomb Launcher, and Loch-n-Load. These adjustments are intended to maintain balance and align with the evolving consensus on competitive viability.
As for the one-off class rule, its purpose is to discourage overly defensive playstyles such as turtling, which can significantly slow down the pace of the game. By enforcing this rule, we aim to ensure that matches conclude on time and the overall tournament schedule remains on track.
