#343 The International 3 in Esports

Orange doto fucking made it all the way and I missed it ;_;

If Mushi clutches this for all that's good in the world I will die happy.

As for alliance being unbeatable, they really aren't. Banning out bulldog's two heroes is fine, but honestly you need a serious wisp strat or a chen/alch pick following it up to beat them. You can give EGM his naga early since they seem to be favoring that on the main stage, but the way they draft makes it clearly evident that they are still worried about bulldog getting banned out. Honestly if they have that second pick advantage I'd ban the chen/prophet even if it means giving up wisp/alch/lifestealer/lone druid. Just gotta play your doto and grind them down since they're pretty much guaranteed to get one of "their" heroes. If you can accept that and keep a strong draft with a real game-plan and you make it work then they are definitely beatable.

I'm really hoping that if Orange gets into grand finals they clock Alliance out for one early with one of their fucking slardar/undying/aggro tri-lane picks early and make those swedish bastards sweat a little in the draft.

P.s. I will never understand how Mushi was able to say they had no pocket strats with a straight face going into yesterday and then going nuts on the draft.

#80 Powerjack update -> pyro viable in 6v6? in TF2 General Discussion

Guys plasma has theoretically the highest dps in quake why don't people just get good with it and change the meta-game?

Jaselliott_While the subtler strategies have changed, the class and weapon selection is basically the same
I honestly think those people that think that way are retarded.

Unless every month you change the fundamental mechanics of the game you won't get amazing new strats.

People find a method which works and then stick with it.

I've always felt that the tri-lane dota map is fucking retarded. Imagine if SCII, TF2, Quake, etc only had 1 map. But hey, you don't see me talking about shit that I have no idea on (because I don't play dota).

So why is it that idiots that don't understand the metagame can criticise the metagame for being stale just because it's superficially the same?

And does no one understand that at the end of the day, unless you drastically change the mechanics of the game every 3 months you aren't going to get people playing the game in wildly different configurations.

Are people who watch soccer bemoaning the fact that it's always the same? Are there chess players who are petitioning pawns being buffed to change the meta?

Why is a "stale meta" ok in "real" sports but as soon as it comes to TF2, EVERYTHING must change, otherwise it's boring? Am I missing something here?

Because robin walker talked out of his ass about the meta-game and how he wishes it was like dota despite there being massive mechanical and genre differences. Unskilled players borrowed this opinion on the grounds that they thought it was accurate and started flooding the forums with posts about WHAT CAN CHANGE THE META

As someone that has played both tf2 and dota competitively it's offensively stupid on so many levels that it causes me physical agony.

Twilitlord2sy_morphiendExcept my argument is that nobody cares what ugc steel thinks about the 6v6 meta-game.

Hasn't changed in years? Don't think so. The way the roamer has changed from season 6 onward, the introduction of gunboats and the like, basher on scouts, solo uber pockets, etc. it's a wildly different meta-game.

Considering you yourself have experience limited to a single year on your account, ugc steel, and highlander, I'm fairly certain you're not the authority on the development of the 6s meta-game either.
I never said my opinion mattered. I specifically said other people said so. People like Harbleu, who's been embracing the QF change, and Sal, who agreed with Robin that there hasn't been much change in meta lately. I know that my experience doesn't mean much, but I'm a little offended that you'd think that that's a valid reason for not taking it into consideration at all. Thanks for showing me just how supportive you are of people who aren't as good as you, you piece of shit.

So sal, who is a commentator and was never seriously involved in sixes, and a guy that publicly denounced medic play before he did it anyway and got good at it. Essentially someone who had been publicly bored of medic long before "the meta is stale" was ever mentioned on any site the forums have been on.

If you're implying that I falsely assume I'm part of the majority you are immediately positing that you instead are. However, someone who has been playing for less than a year and never outside of ugc 50% polyester/cotton blend probably is unaware of things that minute.

and beyond that if you haven't been around long for something to actually become stale, then you have to be assuming based on someone else's word.

Twilitlord2sy_morphiendI don't think anyone that has seriously played the game for any real amount of time was complaining about a stale meta. Robin Walker talked out of his ass and UGC set itself on fire because for some reason they put absolute faith in a guy that has probably watched less competitive tf2 in his life than many of them do in a night.Well I definitely remember people saying that the 6v6 meta hasn't changed in years and that the QF buff has made medic fun again, but whatever you need to support your deluded idea that you represent the majority
