I feel that advertising the FACEIT icebreaker events would be a bit better than directing a player that just discovered the wonders of fov_desired 90 to the main system, where they're likely going to be confused by some things

• why does the game might not end after one team reaches 5 rounds?
  
• why running a pyro to mid isn't a good idea (at least in the current state of 6v6)
  
• why can't they equip the reserve shooter when it's what they've become used to running for basically all their time playing TF2

And the list can go on and on. I'm certain that the general consensus here is that FACEIT should (and kind of needs to) become the main lobby site for competitive tf2 until valve MM isn't a massive disaster of a system.

Edit: Another thing, do you plan on at least touching the subject of custom huds? I know that you only use some modifications of the default hud but in the slight chance that a player feels that the default hud isn't good enough, even a slight mention of what huds are designed for and a referral to huds.tf doesn't seem like it would hurt that much

So I'm working on a video project, and after recording I've noticed that my "s" sounds in my audio are a bit more pronounced and screechy than I'd like. I don't have a better microphone than my headset one to record a new voice over so I'm kind of stuck with what equipment I have on hand.

Assuming there is a method to reduce just the specific "s" type sounds, how would I go about doing it? I have no prior experience doing something like this and the audio is the only thing that bothers me about it. If I need to re-record the audio I'd be willing to do it but it'd be really neat if there was a way that I could simply take the audio, shape it to my liking, and put it in for the old audio

Thanks!

kind of wish that a lot of the default settings weren't garbage to begin with

why is the default fov 70 and not 90?
why is the default interp set to what it is?
why is the default viewmodel fov so low?
why are damage numbers turned off by default?
why are the default damage numbers dark red?

and the list goes on...

are you an engineer? 'cause you're erecting my dispenser

get well soon froot!!

Comp tf2 wouldn't ban most of the weapons if some of them weren't horribly dumb. What's even better is some of the weapons are easily fixable, and I'd be willing to bet that if even one valve employee asked all the top invite teams to playtest some changes to weapons in a competitive environment, a lot of them would be willing to possibly take a night off from scrims or demo reviews or whatever they do to help the team

Wasn't it just the player icon that didn't work anymore? Obviously if you want it bad enough for that you can put some text on your main menu that says "Welcome back [your name here]" but it's still possible to have it I believe.

Hypnotize has got a few versions in his updated HUDs thread

open ended question: would a change to a syringe gun (any of them really) that gives ubercharge on kill be very broken, or an alright change? Assuming the crossbow still has its current stats with building uber on teammate heal

soldiers that always prefire even though you've avoided every single prefire that they've fired

anyone that goes a class other than soldier on spire

people that use dumb unlocks to try and cheese their way to winning an mge

oh and don't forget the infamous "I'm waiting for a friend gtfo"

also what unskilled said

or an alternative to playing demo in DM/MGE could be to play medic, where surfing is incredibly essential

it's also good to be well rounded as a player and be able to play more than one class/role at a competent level

do you actually think there's going to be a significant buff to needles overnight that would make it better than or equal to the crossbow

as someone that has played medic for some time, I try to apply some basic positioning principles (with some exceptions) to when I'm playing demo

• Try to keep at least one teammate in front of you, or at the very least in close vicinity
  
• surf damage whenever you can
  
• don't +forward like an idiot because scouts will +forward you harder and you will just end up feeling bad and frustrated and looking at a respawn timer

the last one is a bit subjective but when I was cleaning out demos on my hard drive I was cringing so hard at how bad I used to be at +forwarding when I shouldn't have

as far as developing better positioning, watch over your own demos and gameplay. Question every single death and ask yourself if you could have possibly survived

also to answer your bonus question, sometimes prefiring a sticky to potentially knock a soldier off his intended course can really help if you know he's going to be bombing you. The better answer is as setsul mentioned, stick with a scout so the soldier will essentially have to fight 2 people instead of one. That being said, going for the airshot isn't half bad, but if you're spending your entire clip of grenades trying to hit the airshot it's probably better if you save them when scouts try to get in your face
