i have my fingers crossed and i'm hopeful, but the odds of this being entertaining for anything more than the "wow this is stupid" factor are very, very low.

is that the point and i'm missing something?

there's no need to be mean like that dude.

i'm not trying to be mean or rude or hurtful or anything. i really want him to understand where i'm coming from.

and dustee, you should consider taking your full name and what city you live in off your steam page. that's not typically a good idea.

adding to what gr8stalin said, this does nothing but piss people off, which is clearly your intent right now. just stop, no one here cares as much as you. they are kindly trying to explain to you why your thought process is fundamentally wrong and all you're responding with is insults and "comp tf2 circlejerk amirite".

this is how you learn. that's what i'm saying dude. was i upset the first time i was spawn camped? yeah sure. does it frustrate me still? yeah, if my team is full of idiots. but if your team is being spawn camped, they probably deserve it. they did something stupid or are just very bad.

bonk is a mechanic. wait for the like 5 seconds of respawn time and bonk out of spawn. you don't need to do anything with your team lol

stop. stopstopstopppppppppp

I'd rather this game die competitively than devolve into 12 year olds that get upset when people use mechanics of the game to their advantage.

If you think players that are bad enough to not understand that there are ways to counter things like spawn camping are going to look at getting into this game competitively, you're lying to yourself.

ubercharge is a mechanic
airblast is a mechanic
you can knock the sticks off with rockets
you can knock the sticks off with stickies
you can destroy the sticks with scottish resistance
you can destroy the sticks with scorch shot
you can destroy the sticks with detonator
you can destroy the sticks with literally any hitscan weapon
you can kritz out of spawn if enough idiots are right next to the door
you can deadring out of spawn
you can switch spawns in 2fort

these are all mechanics that are easy to use and will help these players in all aspects of the game. there's literally no reason to kick or ban for spawn camping other than being really fucking ignorant to how tf2 works.

which is funny because the same people that get mad at spawncamping don't like competitive because of the restrictive unlocks.

the people unknowingly playing on servers devoid of things like spam and good players will never get good at the game. they won't even know how bad they are.

once in a blue moon, someone from servers like this come into newbie mixes and despite having 500+ hours in tf2, their movement/ dodging would make you think that they have never seen a keyboard before. it's sad almost, knowing that they've wanted to be getting better but due to things they didn't realize they're just as shit as when they started over a year ago due to something they have no control over. :(

my reaction to b4nny's livestreamed reaction to Buick's response to b4nny's reaction to Lange's thoughts on competitive tf2.

can this please become a thing?

you'd be the spychecking champion dude

This sounds pretty neat.

I think the majority of an edit's artistic value comes from the smooths though, so it will be interesting to see what people do with this. I may try it out too.

honestly the people complaining about playing against invite teams rather than invite pug teams would have gotten beaten by the pug teams too. at least this way you can say you were beat by one of the top teams not just some hodgepodge of really good players. iunno

i'm gonna miss everyone that's leaving, but i feel like it's not going to be as significant as a lot of people are saying it will be. just like when relic and co. left or when extv took that break. there will always be people to fill in the gaps over time. next season might be kinda shitty but whatever. let's just play some video games kids.

i know it was a joke but it hurt my heart reading this :(
