Buff Banner/shotgun RANT
Have you ever played bball and thought: Nice shotgun kill!......No? Me neither.
Plaing bball is all about airshots, cool jumps and teamwork and that does not require a shotgun.
I have received numerous complaints about shotgun abuse in tournaments, leaving some people to avoid bball tournaments.
Shotgun can be quite superior in bball, as it is a hit register weapon compared to rocket launcher, which is a projectile weapon.
Shotgun easily kills momentum, things such as bodyblocking/shotgun jumping are more effective when using shotgun compared to using rockets.
To easily enable Buff banner use: rcon exec etf2l_bball, rcon tftrue_whitelist_id ""
Its important to upload LOGS and not screenshots of matches as there is no whitelist with these configs, and logs can tell dmg done by weapons.
Why not just enable Gunboats?
Enabling Gunboats changes the game completely, getting airshotted twice and still being able to cap is ridiculous.
I might as well just host a 1-on-1 cup instead, as no teamwork is required with infinite cap attempts.
Using the Buff Banner means that you take the same dmg on jumps, and change game mechanics much less.
Having the Buff Banner equipped changes nothing, as you will most likely die before getting the Buff or get reset due to a cap - HOWEVER, if your Buff Banner meter is full at some point, activating it is NOT allowed.
