TF2 Competition Restrictions and Maps, What I think needs to change. Options

[the ned]

Last time the tf2 competition was a joke.

When you are able to run 5 engies as defence against only 5 people, it ruins the fun and competitiveness of the game.

I suggest that we run cevo class restrictions for the competition so that we avoid stupid situations like this again.

Cevo means that you can run:

2 soldiers
2 scouts
2 snipers
1 of every other class (pyro, demo, heavy, engy, medic, spy)

This will make the competition actually .... fair, but also possible to cap points / push the cart.

I would also like to see 5 point push/pull maps used rather than payload maps.

These would include cp_well, cp_granary, cp_badlands.

It would also be possible to run cp_gravelpit, but that tends to end up in a stalemate situation.

This is just my input, seeing as I play tf2 online actively in leagues.

But feel free to disagree with me, i'd like to hear your input.

Listening to the feedback, it seems that class limiters might be a good idea. It doesnt really effect my team, because we usually play a balanced team anyway, only thing i am not too happy about is the only 1 medic thing.

Custom maps no, people who have played them a lot have an obvious advantage over people who just play stock maps. I would also say no egypt because that map is just terrible

One suggestion i would like to make, can we make it 6v6 instead of 5v5? TF2 is more suited to 6v6 IMO

Also arena, i would say no, it is a completely different game, and requires a completely different set of tactics.

Lastly: BDAT is looking for a good medic, please PM me if you are intrested!

Even if it's what the league does, I'd put a limit of at least 2 medics on - especially if it moves to a 6v6 as you suggest. I'm thinking what Drewfus says and no more than 3 of each class might be the best route to accomodate both sides. This isn't a decision. Just tossing up ideas.

Egypt I agree. No Egypt. It's almost impossible to offend against a good team and win on one of the maps. I do quite dislike this map too, and the general consensus among everyone whom I've played with on it or mentioned it to is the same - not everyone hates it, but it is rather flawed.

Will consider and converse with appropriate people re: 6v6.

Arena is just as different from the other game types as Payload is from CP. It is a really fun part of TF2 too. (I was playing arena_sawmill before. Epic map! As is the other new arena map). Unless lots and lots of people cry out against arena, I think we'll keep one arena round in there. After all, a good team is one that can adapt and change their tactics as required.
