Mothership you literally cannot have a dedicated sub for every class because the roster limit is 15. a high invite team is forced to roster unicorn players that can adequately perform on 3+ classes to account for this + random availability issues, or roster dedicated subs for the players that are most likely to miss matches, or move their mains around to suboptimal lineups.
before you say, clearly you needed another demo sub, note that this is also the season that mcm literally did not have the same roster for two straight weeks the entire season due to shifting availability. here’s how our roster and ringer situation was that season
scouts: 2 players (1 rostered, 1 ringer)
soldiers: 3 players (all rostered)
pyro: 3 players (all rostered)
demo: 5 players (3 rostered, 2 ringer)
heavy: 2 players (all rostered)
engineer: 2 players (all rostered)
medic: 1 player (chad Rogue)
sniper: 2 players (all rostered)
spy: 3 players (2 rostered, 1 ringer)
for those counting at home, that is 19 rostered players + 4 ringers
15 slots is not enough
also i wont deny that this is an anomaly of a team, but this also forces a team leader to cut someone who may have played most of the regular season at the roster lock if they can’t make scrims, etc. doesn’t make sense
