probably because the TF2 team most likely doesnt get to design all update themselves, especially a big one like this. if they did go ahead with the LG thing, it changes a pretty big part of the central game. its like taking a class and replacing it with another. like could u imagine they decide to take the scattergun away from scout and replace it with the nailgun thing (like needles i think) would change the whole facking 6s
at some point some higher ups like GabeN are prolly asked to give a yes or no to the idea the dedicated TF2 team suggest, and these ppl who dont play the game and are in the mindset of the old TF2 team with robin etc, who had much more opposed views to the actual players than the current team do. it doesnt matter that the new team does though, cause in the minds of valve employees not tf2 team they wanna make it as casual as possible
ofc its all speculation valve operates like that but it seems plausible. the tf2 team seem like they play it a lot, and u cant play this game, on any level, and not see over and over again ppl complaining about w m1 and minis. if they had full control im sure they would of done the lg thing, but anyway doesnt matter cause they arent going to change this design. its done but they might fix the bugs
tldr stop making threads nothings going to change. even if we keep talking about it we just labeled comp players in valves eyes, which means the only thing we kno about the game is 6s
