The beaniest team alive

Whitelist changes

All the following unlocks will be banned during this cup. Feedback around the whitelist will be taken into consideration when making the whitelist for Highlander season 16, this is by no means the whitelist for said season. The new whitelist can be found here.

Mad Milk: We feel mad milk is often too decisive in teamfights, the most prominent use on koth maps can shift the entire balance of a team fight.

Scorch shot: The flare knocks back enemies and can hit multiple people at a time as the flare explodes when it hits the ground. Contrary to the detonator the scorch shot flare takes little effort to effectively use, furthermore it mini-crits targets that are already on fire. This makes the scorch shot nearly a straight upgrade of the flare gun and detonator.

Iron bomber: Due to the pipe having little roll and far more predictable bounces missing a pipe is punished less. Moreover it has a greater projectile speed when compared to the stock pipes, making it a direct upgrade to the default grenade launcher.

Machina: Much like the iron bomber this weapon is a straight upgrade of its stock variant. The extra damage and player penetration are good upsides while virtually no downsides are present.
