It makes for very boring games cause it's the same shit every game on every map.
The only reason why we usually run scout and meds on O is because they're the most effective. Everyone's used to that, so you start running a HW on O and people bitch cause they're not used to it, thus it's considered lame, and then he's raged at.
I would personally like to see all these stupid silent codes of conducts thrown out the window and just play some pickups with a free range of classes that can be played anywhere.
Obviously some choices would be just plain silly, like scout D, that wouldn't make much sense, but pyro D/O or HW O or even sniper O/D should be allowed.
But people are too stuck in their ancient ways of thinking to realize how boring pickups have truly become.

Agreed. To me, if a class is available to choose from, I'm going to pick it. Now obviously I'm not going to run a scout on defense but the Pyro is a vital class in this game and if played correctly, can dominate the enemy offense.
Why not just make a class restriction limit based on the type of match?
2v2 - No Engis/Pyros/
4v4 - 1 Engi/1 Pyro/
9v9 - 2 Engis/2 Pyros
And same for whatever other classes are available.
Then, we wouldn't EVER need to have a topic like this again. Specify in your "RULES" that a specific class or quantity of that class is allowed or disallowed or some people will be confused and even more people will abuse.
