Dig_Doug6s bans unlocks because they hate change, balance has little or nothing to do with it.

This was actually true in EU before i46 happened to a certain extent. I mean obviously some unlocks were broken (gunslinger etc..) so you are wrong but even now popular unlocks like boston basher, equalizer and gunboats were banned in EU despite them being allowed in NA. Obviously balance wasn't the issue to ban those, but rather that they changed the game a lot and the game was fun as it is. Don't fix what isn't broken, right?

You may call that era stale or boring, but for me and many others TF2 was fun. ETF2L actually tried to introduce some unlocks (mainly Equalizer, Bonk and pre-nerf Sandvich) in Season 9, but Prem teams protested against it and stopped playing, forcing ETF2L to return to the old whitelist back in Season 10. We could have adapted but it would have taken time to completely adjust to the changes so why bother? It's not like there is a money incentive to play an inferior game (in their minds at least).

I think the alienation of new people by banning weapons was the biggest reason why unlocks were being introduced and now that EU lost to NA very hard in i46 nailed the coffin for vanilla ruleset, which was now regarded as inferior. Now unlocks like gunboats and equalizer are standard unlocks in our game but in all honesty I would still play this game if no unlocks were allowed.

tl;dr: People in EU used to hate change, but nowadays this is definitely not the case.

Unpopular opinion: Buffing medic makes the game more stalematey because medic picks/forces are beginning to be the only reason to push anymore. Nerfing medic wouldn't be an ideal option either, as medic already is the least played class and could make medic unfun to play . I don't really have a solution for this problem.

When you have a meatshot machine / osu god on your team, anything can happen.

I'd say that au is also in a slump, losing so many talented players in the past 2 years (mainly from immunity)

Valve knows classes are meant to be specialist and generalist, the game was designed to work that way

They just don't want to force people off their favorite classes (spy/pyro/engi/etc) so they're doing this half-assed effort to allow players onto the classes and not actually provide any in-game tips or popups saying shit like "ENGI AND PYRO ARE GREAT DEFENSE CLASSES BUT LACKLUSTER ATTACKERS, CONSULT YOUR TEAM ON WHEN THE BEST TIME TO SWITCH MIGHT BE!"

I dislike it when people say "Valve knows (blank) as they did something similar years ago." The tf2 team is - to our understanding - a completely different roster of game devs than the devs when the game launched.

So valve certainly knew this at launch, and the comp scene is trying to hammer it home now, we still have to hammer quite a bit as they seem to be spinning their wheels.

The soldier's whip is a great idea because it lets new players get to mid faster than walking without knowing the rollouts

its just too fast though

Edit: and should be something people can grow out if i mean
