What are you favorite memories you’ve made during your time playing competitive TF2? I will start.

• Playing Highlander on Ultiduo maps in lobbies. Shit was hilarious and absolutely chaotic.

• Winning my first RGL match.

• Post-season player awards with my Prolander team TAX FRAUD. Basically I decided to give everyone a special award for sticking around that season.

• Winning my first Highlander match on Swiftwater. Felt amazing afterwards.

• Davidredface pug, which happened last night.

• Playing TF2Center with Jimbob the first time.

Hi

Looking to main for an amateur team next season as my schedule will be opened up.

Notable Seasons of Experience:
Prolander:
S8 amateur TAX FRAUD Main Demo - 3rd Place!
Highlander:
S7 amateur Good Manners (3-4): Multi-class sub
S8 amateur Team with People in it (3-4): Multi-class sub

The right side should have a medium health pack and ammo.

The middle side should have a small health pack and ammo

The left side is fine.

The reason I think these should be switched is so that the left side is an equal hold to right side. So one side isn’t completely irrelevant to hold on. After all, who wants to hold on a side with less resources?

I feel like all of these problems could be solved with a dislike/downvote button.

2020 Favorites in Order:
Jeff Rosenstock - NO DREAM
Mac Miller - Circles
Charli XCX - how i’m feeling now
Run The Jewels - RTJ4
Pink Siifu - NEGRO
Pop Smoke - Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon

2nd and 3rd is really hard to push. Maybe add an additional point.

Who are your favorite teammates?

I only have like two real seasons of competitive that I didn’t roster ride on so far.

TAX FRAUD: My Scuffed As Fuck Prolander Team
RubberDubber333: One of my first pickups that stayed through the entire season.
Flint: Good friend, and also just a good teammate overall that also stayed through the entire season of TAX FRAUD.
HopelessSituation: Chill medic, that somehow enjoyed playing Prolander seriously.
Larry: We were missing a Pyro, and he came in clutch and decided he wanted to play as a main for my team. Saved my team team. Also a great hype man.
83: Best player on my team. Beast Sniper. Pick this man up when he goes LFT again.
3 Rats on a Keyboard: The most dedicated player on my Prolander team. Attended every map review, scrim, and match whenever he possibly could. Great guy.
ckrow: Great at the game, and a good sub.
Blizz/Varig: I forgot to tell him to roster on the team, but I still love him.

Good Manners: Current Highlander Team
Acadium: Awesome Soldier, fun to talk to and play with.
Ridge: My current Highlander leader, he’s a nice guy.

i love protomartyr’s - the agent intellect and under color of official right, idles’ - joy as an act of resistance, and denzel curry’s taboo.

also freddie gibbs is one of my favorite artists. i forgot to mention him in my last post. bandana and pinata are god tier

I hate the Fists of Steel ban in Prolander. I wish I knew why it was banned.

NO RATS

Really good at heavy whuppins guy. Also good comms. Pick him up!

Alright I was wrong there. Let that man play challenger.

Why do you guys care so much about what I said? I’m just some shitty open player.

invite placement sniper tries to sandbag in challenger (gone wrong)

It’s so beautiful.

Please reply to Shotaway. He’s trying to communicate with you guys, but you keep on ghosting him to protect your image. The “players cannot cast the same match as RGL rule” is selfish. RGL is a community based league, yet the casting rule makes it feel like less of a community effort, and more of a monopoly.

I feel like all of these problems could be solved with a dislike/downvote button.

the lack of consistent standards for what defines a good map has plagued this community for years

In My Opinion For An Ideal Payload:

• No throwaway points. Each point can defended to some degree.
• No single point is dominated by one class.
• Average Time is around 7-8 minutes long. The average time on Upward is 7:57, and Vigil’s is 7:01 from sand’s spreadsheet.

@Alto MegaPieManHD is the creator of Synthetic and is currently on working on Midwest. Both Berryville and Midwest are textured. So the idea of having testing actual experimental maps is still not out of the question.

I didn’t realize pieman did midwest (hadn’t heard of it before this thread, definitely gonna check it out), but for you to even conceive of berryville being played in HL requires a lobotomy as the bare minimum. like, it’s beyond square peg-round hole to even consider that map. I played it in a 5am 4s pug which is normally my favorite time to play tf2 and I couldn’t even enjoy myself without constantly getting visions of the apocalypse that would occur if there 18 players on it.

Unless the map is as open as cp_orange or as choke-heavy as dustbowl. It should be tested for competitive. I had fun playing on it in Prolander pugs. If you would like to leave feedback on it here’s the thread: https://forums.rgl.gg/topic/496/koth_berryville/4?_=1620170298732

@Flare said in The RGL Expiremental Map Cup is Being Wasted.:

And as regards both points above: can anyone here even formulate what exactly makes a good map? Why is fucking Product still held up as the gold standard, the KOTH map singlehandedly responsible for the entire Highlander community’s Stockholm syndrome towards their Demos and Snipers, for everyone somehow thinking it’s normal for 7/9 classes to simply not play the game and for KOTH to be braindead W-fests? There’s basically not a single argument here backed by any understanding of game design, everyone just yaps on about how “idk we’ve just always done it like this” and “oh no I don’t want to spend more than 10 minutes pushing :(”.

Product is not the gold standard map for the majority of the playerbase. It got moved out of rotation in Season 5. Unless you are a Sniper main (Sniper dominant map), lower-level player (Snipers aren’t as effective in lower-divisions compared to Invite/Challenger), or a TF2Center goblin (only knows how to play one map), the rest of the playerbase dislikes the map.

Every map gets slack some players and there’s no one map that everyone likes. Stop pretending there is one. If you want a discussion about good map design don’t be such a self-righteous asshole.
