diamondback:
- reward is given instantly for no sacrifice
- gun has minor penalties when used without crits (damage nerf that is shared with other popular meta revolvers like letranger and amby, but 6 shots per reload is retained)
- you absolutely can get 2 shots off quick on a player and insta drop them if you time it right

frontier justice:
- if your sentry gets kills in order to provide you with crits, you have to actively either kill your gun or allow your gun to BE killed in order to receive your reward
- gun without crits is functionally a zero-miss endeavor as with 3 shots if you miss at all on most classes you just dont even have enough ammo to compensate for your mistake

also in 6s you dont want to use the diamondback anyway because the unbanned meta alternative the l'etranger gives such a massive passive buff of having more cloak to have a better time getting in position

payload maps are way too big and offclassing/full-timing sniper on them is really boring (go ask any highlander player how they feel about sniper at all times)

a/d is lowkey kind of fun in theory but the maps available for it are all kind of goofy or bad, like kawa mentioned gpit used to be part of the official comp rotation but it fell out of popularity.

ultimately the game is so small and insular that questions like "why are there only these classes, why are there only these gamemodes, etc" can be answered with "we have tried a bunch of stuff for 16 years and we've decided these classes and these maps are the most fun"

most people i think that are new to competitive tf2 are often unsatisfied with hearing that because they haven't had the time and experience to find out why things like full time pyro and sniper are boring and not fun for either team, or why 5CP is one of the few functioning modes for a team size of 6. they're also just generally unsatisfied with hearing that they cant main their favorite class in 6s which is an understandable complaint to have but it'd be like being mad that your favorite gun in csgo is the auto shotty and you can't just use that every round and do well at high level CS

legit cheaters love to post diatribes and novel length forum posts trying to explain every single thing they could do to show they are not cheating instead of doing what actual legit players do when they get called a cheater which is to type "LOL" and move on with life

what's your best performance at a major? if youve never been to a major, just your biggest offline event even if it's your local

3-2 in Strive at FF2022

1-2 (how.) in UNICLR at CB2023

he does explain in the first 30 seconds of the video how it's different from that

an entirely human system with no one that has any experience (at least no one visible to the public) that cannot be implemented into the actual mode that has the problem lol
