I'm pretty sure froyo would have won even if habib wasn't on adderall, but I agree even the most minor advantages should not be allowed

this man must be barred from play until he tests clean!

Pretty common knowledge, Habib talks about his ADD and adderall a lot.

Are there any guidelines on how much adderall on a prescription becomes abuse? I'm guessing anything over doctor's orders?

I had 2 stop taking adderall when I noticed my hair getting thinner heh

stay strong brother

Except he has a prescription for it

the event was sponsored by weed and we are worried about prescribed meds????

Yeah, I don't see you guys worrying about great deals without trade holds.

I mean, people don't tend to perform like gods after railing three affordable, conveniently accessible hats.

Completely irrelevant for TF2 but if you're in a game or sport covered by Wada (like Chess is an example that's vaguely similar) then you have much tighter rules governing what you get, simple medical need isn't the same threshold, there has to be more than one doctor agreeing, etc.

ADD medicine has recently been shown to improve Chess performance by about 15%, but caffeine also improves it by about 10%. The effect manifests itself in slowing players down, not sure how beneficial that is in TF2, but maybe the new meta is really defined by everyone trying to get that Adderall edge.

Why are people going about habib taking ADD meds when he actually needs them? Pretty fricken dumb to me tbh.

By slowing players down do you mean speeding up how fast they process info and therefor making it seem as if the world around them is slowed down? I mean since aderall and caffeine don't exactly slow down the user.
But what aderall does do to people who don't have ADD or anything like that is shorten the time it takes their brains to process things. Aderall is a lot like speed, only speed is more aimed at giving energy. And it can really mess with your ability to concentrate as it can make your eyes shake. And aderall is designed to enhance concentration.

do people actually take drugs to improve their tf2 game?

The chess study resulted in players spending more time thinking about their moves, they got into time trouble more often. Obviously it's not really much like a video game and the study I saw didn't go into the effect on perception, just the measurable results like an improvement in playing strength (which is measurable by rating results) and things like time to move and game length.

I agree that it seemed counter intuitive to what I would expect, but the results were pretty clear. It was a reasonable sized study as well.

I guess an interpretation is that it cuts down on impulsive decisions making and makes it easier for a player to keep looking at a position to make sure their moves are good.

Edit: I forgot to clarify that the study was into the effect of ADD medicine, caffeine, etc on players who don't need it and don't have a prescription, not on people with a prescription (although obviously not for caffeine) who played on and off it

I didn't think this was a thing either until I watched freestate do a rail of 6 25 mg addies at gxl 2 years ago

The lance armstrong of tf2

Saw the thread title and thought it was gonna be another debate regarding his old lmaobox alts
