		<blockquote>[...]

So let's ban Jarate, Razorback, Milk and bleed weapons because they counter spy, Ambassador because headshots counter Pyro, Revolver because it can kill Pyros and the Knives for that same reason. Any Pyro that doesn't have a severe mental illness can shut down a Spycicle spy if he's near the combo. If anything, it's underpowered.</blockquote>
ANY spy that's near the combo can be shut down by a pyro - it literally barely ever makes a difference what knife he has equipped, and the spycicle at least gives you a chance of escaping when shit hits the fan. That's the thing, if you get flamed by a pyro you're gonna get airblasted anyway before you can get the pick unless you're going to count super-specific 0.01% situations. And in cases where you randomly get flamed by a pyro it helps you escape far more easily + makes you able to fight the pyro better. And then I'm not even counting the Silent Kills.
That basically makes it almost a straight upgrade, unlike jarate (still a normal upgrade overall tho), razorback, milk and bleed weapons (lol u gettin hit by dat shiv bro?). If anything, jarate trades in self-defense against the spy for revealing the spy, razorback trades in self-defense against the spy for being unable to be backstabbed. Milk doesn't belong to a class countered by the spy, nor do most bleed weapons.]]></description>

Also smitz I think there's quite a difference between a class that's supposed to be strong in close-range getting a strong close-range weapon and a class that's supposed to be countered by pyros getting a weapon that reduces this counter severely.

Ok, let me explain to you why this thread is here. This thread exists because the admins want feedback on what weapons they are going to exclude in the next highlander season. And in order to help the admins with their decision, we provide arguments on why a certain weapon should be allowed or not. So, a rational person who disagrees with somone would then come up with counterarguments, so the admins can those into account too, when deciding on the whitelist.

What does not help, however, is your approach. You instantly resort to personal attacks, just because you happen to disagree. This doesn't necessarily help the admins with their  decision. Quite the opposite, it distracts actual discussion from happening. Moreover, resorting to personal attacks is called ad hominem, and is usually made by people who have no arguments related to the subject that is being discussed. Thus, making ad hominem arguments is actually a sign of weakness, and not superiority.

I will gladly respond to the single piece of relevant arguments you presented by saying that Spies and Pyros are inherent features of Highlander, so it isn't actually possible to remove them while still being able to retain the gamemode itself. Unlocks aren't inherent features of the respective classes. They are add-ons, and there is a function to expel certain weapons from being used, because not every weapon is suitable for a competitive environment. 

Do you want to keep on with this discussion or will you continue to resort to ad hominem arguments? If your intention is the latter, I suggest you stay out of this thread because this is about unlocks, not how stupid you think I am for wanting a weapon excluded.]]></description>
