SentinelHonestly, it would be nice if we used a promod plugin that rebalances weapons for 6s. Shouldn't be too hard to make/maitain since tons of pubs have modified weapons already (x10 servers, vsh servers etc). I don't really see how that would negatively impact our "relationship" with valve, seeing as it's currently nonexistent apart from writing a news post for major lans and distributing medals for leagues. Just tailor the game to be the most fun it can be and stop worrying about valve, it's not like we matter to them, we're only a tiny fragment of the community of a game they don't really prioritize anyway.
It would mean NA and EU were playing totally different TF2 tho, remember that we have ESEA to deal with.
Also anyone who thinks the base jumper should be unbanned has never played against it or has only played against awful players using it. The night of invite scrims it was allowed was some of the worst TF2 I've ever been a part of and it nearly killed at least two invite teams.
