Yeah he's a close friend of mine who recently just got a job as a AU UGC admin and has always been more interested in HL than 6s (for that matter I completely disagree with him).

However I do find it just a tad disconcerting that you decided to go out of your way to his twitter/ instagram and include a pic of him for your post? I really just don't see why that's relative to his post.

because it's funny u dip!

enigmakKaltUuhe's right thoughhe's actually completely wrong

highlander is a community-developed gamemode that removes class switching entirely from the game and arbitrarily enforces the all-classes-are-equal mantra which the developers (to my face) have said was never intended

Maybe so, but they certainly didn't intend for the same 4 classes to be used 90% of the time and a significant amount of content arbitrarily banned.

If somebody publicly post something on the internet, everybody has every right in the world to re-post it wherever and however much they please.

I think, however, most of the stuff from 6v6 is closer to Valve's image of the game competitively.

infinite-Maybe so, but they certainly didn't intend for the same 4 classes to be used 90% of the time and a significant amount of content arbitrarily banned.

The core experience of 6v6 is not defined by the weapon bans nor class restrictions, but by the player count.

I doubt any consideration was given to the prospect of competitive play during development, but here we are almost a decade later pushing a game that we all know and Valve now thinks has potential as a competitive game.

Valve can fix the problems with the 6v6 meta, but they cannot fix the problems inherent in highlander: 18 player games with 1 of each class (the most strict requirement of all).

I'd also argue that consideration needs to be given to the upper end of the skill spectrum when evaluating competitive formats, which is where highlander is both lackluster to play and lackluster to watch.

hoXyywonderI already can see all these people from steel/open with elite assassin ranks
just because you're in high doesn't mean you can shittalk people that are on the lower level than you, remember that

I'm not shittalking. I'm just saying that whole mm will be a big joke with that no class limits and these all weapons available . The only players who will play mm will be pub and lower comp players. I already watched some kaidus mm streams and it is just mess.

yeah he plays mm because he's the only one invited by valve + ~20 his friends who kaidus invited, so they just play each other but I'm sure when we'll get official MM update most top players won't take it seriously or they will start playing for lulz/troll. You can't take MM seriously with that whitelist/rules.

I know but it should be at least similar to real comp to encourage some new/pub players to start playing esea/etf2l.
I hope valve will change this, we'll see.

We were just making up our own rules when we tested mm. No idea if that's even close to what valve has in mind. Plus I doubt they are done with balancing unlocks.

^thx but I'm fine :P
I think that people are just too hyped and they don't like someone who is "trying to kill the hype"

anyway I hope final version of MM will turn out to be better than I think, I'll give it a try for sure.

All I know is that Valve is going to make MM with all weapons available and without class limit and I don't like it.
