It is the one bridge I can't burn and I lack the self discipline to just walk away. It is still fun to fight the good fight for 8v8 on these irrelevant forums. Us dedicated few scream at each other while no one listens.
Ah I see you play on @TISHKA_DRONT 's servers! He currently runs the only 8v8 servers
Hi.
I see that you understand why we must fight the good fight then. Tishka shouldn't be the only 8v8.
LIES AND DECEPTION!
In general, its only horrifying to those that don't actually play the game... those that do saw the necessity as it wasn't uncommon to see 3 Tunnels up securing 2/3 of a map within the first 2 - 3 minutes of a round.
It was moved to the commander to limit how many you can have at a time by tying them to how many hives you have, while also applying the limitation of needing infestation.
I like chocolate.
LMFAO! 8v8 on TA's wonitor shows even win rates across the board, with the exception of captains (with sample size too small).

Low skill 8v8

High skill 8v8
Show me a sngle server with even win rates for anything above 8v8 or else stay mired in shame and disrespect
8v8 has worked great for pubs in the past. In fact it was the best. It is harder to keep an 8v8 server seeded though, if there are bigger servers. It is a tragedy of the commons scenario.
I merely speak the truth to their hearts, so they may listen and repent
Fixed that for you.
Hmm... it's as if most of the playerbase preferred 12v12 :P
I have shared my argument already. No point saying it again.
Then, there is this.
Are we assuming that all replacements are simultaneous now?
That is besides ignoring that a major part of your argument for 8v8 depends on 8v8 being "harder to keep seeded" by the way.
So, fair and honest reasoning is frowned upon? :P
