As for the league limits, I believe it provides a more tactical gaming experience, especially considering the majority of organised matches are based around a 6v6 (or possibly 7v7)
setup

These matches in particular are about small, close-knit teams. The class limits force players to work together to succeed, for example the fact that each team only has one medic forces the team to stick together as much as possible. It also provides each player with a specific role in such a small match, rather than having a lack of variation.

As for the server limits, I agree that the experience can be ruined by the spamming of a particular class, possibly for one or both teams. Of course its fine for a laugh, but in a normal game its just not as fun.

I also take issue with the fact scouts are not class limited, despite being, for all intents and purposes, more of a utility class then the engineer and sniper (who have actual massive point scores, and team contributions, despite being loners) scouts are just loners who jump around a lot, and are a bit more "obvious" I'd have thought to limit. I'm generalising here, but you can find a lot of the time if you find a team half-full of scouts, that team will lose, and lose badly, especially if on defence.

Oh, unless the point is to reward the one strategy of "scout rush" but not allow for the "engineer defence" or the "sniper defence"...I'm very confused on that point.

As far as I understand it, the limits are not in there to prevent "unusual" tactics. They are here to prevent people doing only achievements filling the entire server. Hence why Snipers are limited, Scouts are not. Anybody who wants Scout achievements [Edit: badly enough to destroy the game for others] has them all by now.

several clan members noticed at once, remember?

I think Bacon noticed tbh, then others piped up. Our admins knew of course - we warned them.

an admin can't just come in and sort out, or in fact, encourage if it is a fun set of amount to play)

Its an endless task being an admin - not everyone wants to play ball and I want our admins to be able to play themselves and not to have to argue with people over class choices! This isn't workable also because there are times when no admin is present.

Oh, unless the point is to reward the one strategy of "scout rush" but not allow for the "engineer defence" or the "sniper defence"...I'm very confused on that point.

Well, we went for the common classes that get spammed. I don't personally think we see 5 or 6 scouts on defence, attack maybe, but not on defence. We see lots of defensive engineers, snipers and spies. Hence the limits.


Thread locked now - we've all had a fair say on this and Dave and I justed wanted to advise you all that class limits were in place - that's all. Its only fair to warn people in advance so they can judge what they want to do etc. Thanks.
