You’re not going to change the mind of a man who’s made his entire career hating on competitive and all things wholesome. You need to accept the fact that he fundamentally does not enjoy competitive tf2, and the only difference between him and the chungus pubbers who feel the same is that he has a platform where he vocalizes his feelings through zingers and simple argument that are appealing to those who don’t want to invest much thought into thinking about the game for themselves.
At best, you find some common ground and he plays nice before going back to what he was doing before, because that’s who his audience wants as well what as his true feelings towards competitive gaming are. At worst, it devolves into mindless bickering which accomplishes no more than if you were to post in /tf2g/.
Bethniczbut let players play full time offclassing, let them experience the flaws of the classes, that is the best way to teach someone instead of explaining it to them.
If they don’t have a baseline standard to compare it to, shitters playing like shitters with restrictions is practically indistinguishable to them than if they were to just play with no limits.
I feel the need to reiterate Seinfeld’s question;
Seinfeldwhy [do] we need zesty jesus' sign of approval
Why should the community need to bend for him and curate an experience when he’s entirely unwilling to change? The best goodwill ambassadors for the competitive are genuinely creators like Rumpus. Getting zesty to play a round of lower-than-low level 6s isn’t going to lead to a breakthrough. Casual and competitive are wholly incompatible and there’s not really a reason to try and get a purely casual player to play competitive if he’s already holding onto the preconceived notion that it’s boring and bad.
