Not sure if this thread is dead, but can we look at the grapple exploit rule? I get having some map specific unreachable area exploit rules, sure, but making the very act of "using the grapple hook to gain a bunch of horizontal momentum" bannable is silly. It's a difficult to enforce (and honestly difficult to abide by once you know how to do it) rule. Abusing jank is the cornerstone of source, why should this one example be any different? You have maps with low ceilings that make jump-crouch spamming super annoying, since it hides your head hitbox, should that not also be exploiting? Or just the jump pack in general? So far I haven't really heard any reasons as to why it should be a ban-worthy thing, other than "it's the rule."
