Question from a non-competitive player: why are 5CP and KOTH the only competitive modes?

5CP and KOTH are so flawed in so many ways>! (long round times in 5CP cause stalemates waiting for 1 guy to fuck up, most classes like spy and engie suck in 5CP, now that i think about it KOTH seems quite fine actually)!< while modes like Attack/Defense and Payload seem much better to me. In Payload you can play Engineer and Spy for example, and it will still be a perfectly viable class to play. Not in 5CP though.

​

This opinion mostly comes from Uncle Dane's videos, so I may very well be wrong, especially since the most comp experience I have is around 3 matches played in soloq valve competitive, which (believe it or not) didn't teach me very much about the competitive scene.

So please teach me! I'm really interested, why do people still play so much 5CP and KOTH instead of Payload or A/D?

​

edit: thanks for the replies! i really appreciate you all telling me, i never realised how much issues PL and A/D have.
