Why was the Loafer Blueprint removed from Manta?

[moonlol]

Consistently lowered round quality. Complaints. Various ahelps and abuse over the past year.

Static vs deployable loafers are a balance factor. Deployable ended up being unbalanced and not very fun for a variety of reasons; easier to hide, easier to produce obscene amounts of lag, easier to create a public setup so peeps can "accidentally" let out the death bread, etc.

Player input comes in many forms. This time it came in the form of the myriad ahelps on the matter we've had to deal with

I didn't remove it and I don't purport to represent the entire team on the matter, but I've thought about doing it and that's why.

i dont see why it couldn't have been "balanced" in another way such as increased material costs.
regardless, If the matter of balance is between static and dynamic loafers shouldn't a static loafer be added to manta?

also i dont think a ton of ahelps is a very constructive form of player input when it comes to a major (atleast in my opinion) part of a map, given that its not very transparent, as the private nature of it.

I think changes especially as these should be more transparent as it can change the experience of people. Even if the change was going to be merged anyway I feel like it would atleast help that players can be atleast given an opportunity to discuss, instead of watching changes they don't like being merged behind a glass screen of sorts, unable to say anything not even being given a chance.

if a pr with the reasons was made then this thread and an argument on discord needn't have existed
