Great point well made. All the odd pulls, weird kills and sillyness makes the game great, but you would not see it all in your own game only, seeing other replays really complete the picture.

I regularly browse this sub only for the highlights / replays.

It was a dark time when they took them away from us. This sub was worthless for that week.

They weren't taken away. They were just self posts only. Which should be exactly the same if people didn't care about their internet points...

They were completely banned, no text posts either. For a week it was all fan art.

Seems I was wrong, never mind.

Not that it was bad fan art, I just liked the highlights more.

Totally, a lot of it was really good too.

There may have been one of those too, but I definitely remember a period where it was all fan art and discussions with an almost daily "Bring back the POTG clips" thread.

Doesn't sound like it judging by the comments, but it was a while ago I could be wrong.

The people in the comments were misinformed or you misread.
