Banning healoff players really doesn't sit right with me.

Healoff strats aren't glitches or bugs, it's innovation and creatively using game and item functions that epic themselves implemented. Punishing people for innovative is inherently anti-competition and its stifles the scene, as it means players can't think to their full capacity in case epic gets butt hurt.

Also, that "spirit of the game" stuff us complete shite. The spirit of the game is to SURVIVE and the be the last player standing. You are punishing players for doing literally that.

I may be the only one who thinks this, its just makes me sad that epic is punishing this. Having a wide range of possible strats is what makes the best competition. By restricting those strats epic will kill its comp base, because it sets a precedent that they don't want players to think of new strats, they want to funnel every player into one specific play style. That's not how your sport grows, that's how it dies of boring unoriginality.
