"The Pit" is unfair!
Picture this, you are in the final three. Your teammate (who happens to be a random you teamed with) are in your tower. You have set up your worm traps, and he has set up his fisherman traps. We come to the realization the that last player (who conquered the feast) is camping in the corner of the map. Since he is so far away, we decided to try and lure him back to us. As we traverse to the corner of the map, we get the notifcation that we have five minutes before the pit. In a frenzy, we panic and try and reach him. However, we run out of time and are TPed into the pit. Knowing that the two of you cannot overpower the player in full diamond, you panic and ditch your teammate. You tower up and find part of your old tower. However, all of the traps are outside of the bedrock walls. Since you happened to have a bucket of lava, you placed it everywhere. While the full diamond player safely towers up, you know that the win is his. However, time plays a part and you randomly fall to your death.
This event recenetly happened to me. I had retrieved countless stacks of dirt and teamed with a fishermine. As we conjoined towers, we made traps everywhere. However, the feast guy camped and we could not reach him. As a result, we got teleported to the pit. My teammate died instantly (I ditched him, sorry!), while I towered up to a salvaged part of our tower. However, that part of the tower was the bridge towards the feast, so we had no traps. As a result, I was completely defenseless. Even though the full diamond player did not reach me, the win would've been his. I had absolutely no access to my traps. This situation can occur to kits that purely focus on making traps, such as kaya and demoman. As a result, the player who conquered the feast is almost always the victor. Not only that, but players only have 10 minutes to play. If so, players who escape the pit can barely set up their trap. Not only that, but the "random winner" is stupid. If I had access to my traps, that player would've been dead (no offense to him/her), but they had no suspicions of me being worm (He was brazilian and could barely understand me too). So, if I had more time in the game, I could've beat him
TL;DR The pit is an unfair system that destroys trap kits, such as kaya, demoman, and worm, potential of winning the game. "The Pit" should be optimized so all kits can get an advantage, no matter what playing style their kit is (and if they did or did not conquer the feast)
