You actually want competitive 10v10? You're joking right? Big teams has always been and always will be a troll game. As one wise forum goer said

Small teams remains unpopular amongst the current crowd of people because there are very few tryhards in the crowd. Most people just want to have a little responsibility (and a game) and not feel like total shit because a person on the same team tells them they lost the game for the team. That's why big team games are so attractive. Low personal responsibility, low risk, lots of people to back you up, and plenty of room for experimentation. In 1v1, you don't have this freedom. In 2v2 - 3v3 you don't have as much freedom to do what you want (without the team hating you cuz of high personal responsibility). The so-called trolling results from low personal responsibility (== freedom). Low personal responsibility translates into low "I feel like shit because I play bad and lose" feeling with a moderate chance of "yay I help win the game!" or "yay I did something insanely stupid and won" feeling (EG: Trolls).

It's not about the "trolls" or "tryhards" or anyone else. It's about the small community of veterans who clash in ideology (silly vs serious) and the fallout impacts all the newbies (or smurfs that pretend to be newbies which just stroke the flames).

Before the update it was 3 or 4 people trolling. A few months ago it was still 3 or 4 people trolling. A year ago it was still 3 or 4 people trolling. Two years ago it was still 3 or 4 people trolling. Three years ago it was 6 or 7 people trolling.
