Can I get a fleshed out opinion from everyone of what they voted for? My first instinct is to vote no
It's hard to give an opinion without showing any bias but here's my reasoning.
-In every competitve sport, there's always that one player that dominates the game so much that they ruin it for everyone. For example, really tall people were unmatched within the paint because of their ability to score easier over everyone else. To allievate this, the NBA didn't add rules to nerf the tall people but to buff everyone else. They added the 3-point line in basketball because it allowed the smaller people to make plays on the outside and open up the defense. Most importantly, it made basketball more fun to watch and play.To parallel this example to CTF, ice added a layer of DARE I FUCKIN SAY IT skill that makes the game overall faster and challenging to those that use it. So instead of removing it entirely to nerf people that use it, we can think of some buff to new or the real old school players. It doesn't hurt players that use ice, but it opens for more counterplay by other means.
-Ice allows players that use it to have a level of expression in which the game allows you to move how you want at a faster pace. The only limit is your own ability. For example, in a RTS games such as Starcraft and FAF, we're given the options to do any strategies that we want that defines our specific playstyles. Count likes to tech to battlecruisers while I like to attack earlier. That game dynamic that allows for freedom of expression is what makes a game fun. To parallel CTF again and bring up specific examples, stag likes to do this really flashy move in which he quickly builds stairs backwards to get to a position faster, Cheesse likes to play methodical and defensive, and waffle likes to tag. Ice facilitates these playstyles which allows for player expression and again most importantly, fun. Coming back to the first point, we can think of ways to facilitate how we play CTF, so I think that flat-out removing ice doesn't help in that regard.
Overall, here is why I fuckin hate you guys that don't use it so pay attention. What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
