Once again I am asking you to indulge TF2 as teaching tool in autonomously selected roles, with psychological and sociological analysis at forefront.

Consider the endemic 'Too Many Snipers, Not Enough Medics' problem, and just general team comp issues with role selection not meting out own aptitudes or team need.

This is 90% earnest by the way, the winners when i played the hlstats traxking servers, generally had the top role players play their role like Slade as Spy, and then the rest of the team filling highest utility and team need roles. 1 pyro slowing down the best spy even if theyre kind meh pyro overall actually did help.

Anyone can play medic, and good medics with good demos/soldiers/heavies to pocket win entire games. But you gotta love playing medic to fill the role.

Trying to pinpoint the value of Slade as Spy is hard - 1 player can destroy a team over and over if not accounted for, but 3 players could account for him and diminish threat. So Slade is worth 3 mid players in a 12 v 12 game which is iffy trade but not bad in 16 v 16.

A player that can take out half your team is worth a quarter of your team who will not be doing better than spy management unless they go medic. A quarter of the team to protect a third of it? Sure.

This is just one Pyro Medic's opinion ofc.

Not everyone played TF2 to contribute their best to a winning effort for the thrill and intensity of the gameplay, but like...

If you set up a server and said 'select the role you think youd contribute your best gameplay towards', 8 snipers might happen.
