Bagel was already good enough to replace a map back then and I hope it will replace badlands next season

Either that, or healing that scales down with increasing uber percentage, so you can still have a lot of impact in post-uber team fights and mids but you are unable to slow down the game in stalemates because the crossbow would practically be useless while having uber.

It doesn't make sense to compare two completely different things. Football is played because it is easy to get into, it is watched because it creates a sense of togetherness. If a team slows the game down and makes the match unwatchable, people distract themselves by talking to the people they are watching with or by chanting in the stadium/creating atmosphere. This doesn't exist in TF2. You're right though, theres more problems than just stalemates. I played this game for 8 years, however for 6 years I did not realize there is a competitive scene. There is no exposure, the majority of the community probably doesn't know we exist.

That is the only possible solution if you try to find a middle ground. Personally, I wouldn't want the crossbow banned because it makes medic more fun to play but at the same time it just forces everyone to push off picks and those are extremely difficult to get in stalemates.

I would probably make the crossbow heal over time, similar to the medigun, but way slower. I think having an instant health boost is a bad idea, the current amount is too overpowered and nerfing it would make it underpowered.

You're wrong. Nobody wants to watch stalemates because nothing happens in it. Nobody wants to listen to analysis. People want to see constant action and plays. Sure, dedicated competitive players may appreciate casters analyzing certain strats but the neutral viewer does not care. I can remember the Comfortably Spanked vs. Crowns match @ DHS. It was extremely fast paced and honestly I never had more fun watching TF2. If I remember correctly, the match was hyped by the casual community aswell.

Just ban the crossbow and you can finally push off damage again because the medics cant just heal everyone to full health in a matter of seconds.

I used the demoviewer and noticed that you barely commit to teamfights and don't work with your roamer quite that often and that is probably why your DPM is really low. You seem to wander around aimlessly at times and you also tend to go for flank plays way too often on your own, for example you walk behind the enemy team a lot, however you don't have the DM to support that kind of playstyle. If you don't, you just walk around and usually don't shoot a lot of stuff in a fight. I think you have to be a bit more daring, but not alone. If you play close to the combo as a flank scout, you will not receive a lot of heals to work with but people will be looking in your direction, making it difficult to commit to stuff if they could just melt you right away. I think you should try to work together with your roamer on the flank and see if that suits you better.

How come uubers is not votable

Just stop

Yeah I remember when b4nny visited a venue with his team and the production, prize pool and other things just popped up out of nowhere. How does he keep doing it?

Truly the savior of competitive Team Fortress 2.

They didn't pick themselves.

woops

This shouldn't be on the Se7en Youtube channel imo. Feels quite unprofessional

This doesn't matter, if there is a new player playing in these pugs you shouldn't verbally abuse them because they don't have as much experience and then wonder why the ESEA sign ups decrease every season. Most people use PUGs to improve and this shouldn't exclude newer players.
