I don't know what he was on about that, even when I was a young sapling and was drooling over uncle dane videos I knew that "trickle down balance" made zero sense because the balancing for 6v6 comp where they only play cp_process_final and cp_sunshine (good maps but they were developed for 6v6 comp play) doesn't apply to how 99% of the players play the game. The base jumper shit still kills me after all this time because it was literally just pros whining about missing airshots.
Uncle Dane also went on the record to say he only played Dustbowl for the first two years of him playing tf2 ??? That's enough proof to me he doesn't know what a good stage is.
