Ah shiiit, why did I write "tonight" in the title. Sorry guys, I'm tired.

Hope this update will fix a lot of things concerning Comp!

It was supposed to drop on last Thursday, they delayed it because of playtesting, so they don't have any schedule for this one as long as it's ready.

the amount of delays actually have me kinda hyped; they're finally starting to do some sorely needed playtesting. we might get a decent update instead of some half-baked pyro rebalances.

I'm 99% sure this isn't the Pyro update.

How do you even balance pyro while making it fair, easy enough to play but hard to be good at and at the same time keeping its character gimmick alive?

Players in the first tier of ranks (1-6) now lose substantially fewer rank points on match loss

Players with high win/loss ratios in recent matches now earn bonus rank points in order to accelerate their progress toward a more appropriate rank

these are some creative ways to work around the lack of placement matches, but won't be nearly as effective as just having fucking placement matches..

Removed the damage effects and pain sounds when using the Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper

i actually love this, i get way too annoyed and the damage sounds when playing jump maps.

Updated cp_metalworks

could be amazing, i wanna play some matches on this now

That's a nice meme you've got there. Seriously though, I'm really interested in what could be realistically done to the class in the way I described originally.
