My quality of enjoyment directly correlates to:
1) # of T1 players on my team (with a massive boost if the entire team came from T1)
1b) Synergy is like night and day playing defense with someone from T1 (Icehawk, Danky, etc.) or someone who watched a T1 streamer of Midair vs. not.
2) Quality of pickup
3) Not having 2 particular people in community on my team
I paid $140 and have gotten more than enough enjoyable hours playing against good (if not necessarily smart-playing) players. Flag toss is shit now, but it'll get fixed. Opsayo's point about movement vs. aim is well-taken, but not much one can do and I understand the need to make it easier. Since skiing is so easy, there's one less aspect of differentiation at highest levels of capping since everyone is running same routes and fog is so low.
