You could argue that 2x featured setups makes it easier to get the points and therefore the point minimum should be raised, sure
You could also say the dumb as heck 1500 point requirement killed half of the comp userbase but that's not exactly the merges fault, and with time it should correct itself
Actually I feel bad for you, I tried to let you earn a few bucks from a real bish but you can't manage that. Now I gotta find another down trick other than you bish everyone is replaceable. Recognize
You guys are acting like comp was something that it wasn't. Just look at all of the ISP due to negligence complaints in the reports and forums, comp was no paradise.
The "noobs" that are ruining your games could play comp before. There has been no change whatsoever in the level of experience you need to play competitive lobby. None. The only thing that changed is that there are now more people giving it a try. This is not a bad thing at all. Before comp was just the same people playing over and over, now it's gotten some fresh blood. Enjoy it, learn how to play with these people. Eventually they'll be the next "comp" players.
I've practiced this conversatIon so many times in the mirror, but now that its happening...I dont think so.

If you want to separate the lobbies again, to be honest, I don't care. But I will defend the training games like I did when this was debated months ago, comp players do not have the right to alter the training lobby to save their own. So when it become stagnant again, don't complain.

I think most of you missed the point why the merge happened in the first place.
A couple months ago, a lot of comp players were concerned and complaining that the lobby was dying because "games weren't filling fast enough." There were moans about how there was only one game every couple of hours or so, and how they were hard to fill. I.E. people started noticing the lobby was becoming stagnant.
This spawned talk about re-adjusting the training lobby so there was a point cap to create a new tier system that essentially forced, or strongly encouraged, players from training who were decent at ranked join and try out comp lobby.
HOWEVER, what comp players soon discovered, whether it was justified or not, that many training veterans held a bias against comp players with the stereotype that all comp players were "mean and try hards who blew up if you made one tiny mistake or did not 'get it" This, many people said, initially discouraged people from joining comp lobby. ALL OF TRAINING fought against the new change to bring new players from training to comp. Believe it or not, even if you think they were just "noobs" lots of people enjoyed training the way it was, and didn't want to change it for the sake of helping "the mean comp players." Backlash was huge.
So the solution was to save comp games, comp lobby, since it had a smaller player base, would have to come to training, rather than the other way around. Either way, comp players wanted more players to flow into their lobby to begin with.
Stop complaining about the noobs. This is a game, not the f*cking olympics. You should teach new players and have patience with them rather than blow up in their faces. Because it doesn't make you look intelligent, it re-enforces the stereotype training players have against comp players, and all credibilty from them is lost to many.
ok as i can see this topic continues on, i dont know what to say. I liked competitive.
