We could always host our own 6vHighlander setup some time...
As someone who is breaking into 6v6 and debated heavily on this topic in the other thread, all I can say is that people should try their hand at comp style play.
The simplest you can break it down is that there are different strategies for dealing with 16v16 and 6v6. They are different skill sets. The main difference that I have seen is that comp players dedicate more time to focused practice and they reap the benefits from that.
Personally, I enjoy the challenge of 6v6 since most of the "challenge" in regular pub games is convincing people not to play like asshats and avoiding crits when possible.
