tsarjust because something isnt "that bad" does not mean it should be unbanned. the entire point of a whitelist is to only allow the weapons that make 6s better. by your own admission, these weapons make 6s worse but not "that much worse."
also, just because we are trying to court valve doesnt mean we have to allow every weapon. esl banned the negev and it was perfectly okay to do.
The negev is a bad example, the negev was banned because valve was trying to get players to actually use so that they could if the changes were good, and that didn't fit with the goal of the csgo comp scence. We are looking at weapons that have yet to have real testing, the test cup from January was far from a complete and total review. The people participating were more likely interested in the prize pool than improving the whitelist, and why would the risk trying to weapons they weren't used to instead of the meta they've been using for thousands of hours?
