Customs FTW!

Matchmaking sucks! well actually it doesn't really suck but it doesn't have that taste anymore, specially because customs are so much fun. Its like steak and chicken in a grilling choice, chicken wont taste that bad if steak wasn't that good, you know. You might think i got owned in MM and am just whining, rest assured that's not the case. Let me explain why customs are so much better:

Reason 1: Oh, lets play that: When was the last time you played KOTH on Pit or Oddball on Guardian or Multi-Flag on Narrows, or 1-Flag on Blackout, or Rocket Race on Sandtrap Stunts in a match-made game? see, almost never. We don't have much choice on what we play, except a veto that normally gives you Land Grab on Isolation.

Reason 2: Hey guys I just sniped Jonny: Every time I out-BR Dank or KS, or beat Cica in a mongoose chase, or snipe Jonny first, it puts a smile on my face. Why? because I know these guys are damn good with these things. Its just not that fun beating or getting beat by a bunch of randoms, specially you know that most timmies dont communicate, you just win or loose based on some random skill and lag consequences, where is the fun in that.

Reason 3: Veeda go blue: if one team is stacked you mix it up, or at least you have the choice, last night in a BTB Game 2 guys from the opposing team quit even before the game was picked, sure we beat the crap out of them but it was pretty tasteless.

Reason 4: You Again!: This one is kinda related to reason 2, you know who'd be jumping the man-cannon to laser on Avalanche, you know who'd be camping in the base with sword on Pit, you know who'd be timing the OS respawn on Ghost Town, and they know you, and hilarity ensues when you both meet there, a t-bag is normally in order to show they knew you'd be here This is how Camp Froman was named, right?

Sure there are some customs that are bit complex at first and you might not understand the map or game right away, but I'd take the veggies with my steak any day
