Bsc is a high IM (now high main) pocket who has played 6's competitively since S9 (and probably before that). He's been on teams w/ some really good people.

Also he's a Ph.D in bio so if you're having trouble memorizing photosynthesis he can help

Thanks for clarifying instead of -fragging

#166 Why do so many people bash 9v9? in TF2 General Discussion

smakersSo many of you are taking my post and trying to refute what I say or simply state that most of those items aren't used because they're bad. You are missing the point entirely. The question was, "why do so many people bash 9v9".

Yes, I have played on platinum highlander teams and for the most part, it is somewhat enjoyable. The fact remains that even high level games do have a higher degree of "pseudo-randomness" (a quote that was bastardized) that 6v6 players find to be less than fun.

You argue that mini-crits are never actually "random" and I don't disagree--I said "pseudo-random" for a reason. If you do not know the difference, I urge you to look it up. A pyro who right-clicks to puff an enemy up in the air and happens to reflect a pipe or rocket that he did not see (which in turn becomes a critical and kills an enemy) does not result in a random critical, but it is definitely pseudo-random.

My list of weapons is not intended to be the end-all be-all list of overpowered weapons. It is merely my opinion of what's included in the UGC 9v9 HL ruleset that results in people thinking the game mode is a joke. Some of them are ridiculously strong, while others make an individual's ability to maintain aiming and dodging less valuable by adding little to the game other than excessive amounts of pseudo-randomness.
bastidplay a different game if you don't want sentry guns.
This is the very point! Many people agree that a full-time sentry gun adds nothing fun to the game. It is precisely why they do not play HL and is one of the many answers to the original question in this thread.
Mr_PerfectBack stab looks like a face stab? Thats the mechanics of Lag Compensation. On the server it is a perfectly good stab but on the screen of the spy and your own screen it may look like a face stab.
Again with the "random" mini crits, what are you saying? Are you talking about pyros being decent at hitting flares? Or maybe a scout using the soda popper or something?
It's not random, good pyros check spots that spies frequent, really it is up to the spy to dodge the pyro.
Players out of position? Guess what that happens in 6s too!
Yes, this is exactly what I mean when I say pseudo-random. Sure, the server sees it as a backstab due to many different elements, but frequently neither player sees it as a backstab and that is why it is pseudo-random. A pyro fires a flare across the map at an enemy... That flare ignites a cloaked spy who happened to be in a straight line of sight between the pyro and his teammate. Are you telling me that is not the very definition of pseudo-random? Your comment about good pyros checking spots is what I meant when I said that one reason people bash 9v9 is because one of the -primary- roles is to have a player who spins every few seconds clicking pseudo-randomly in hopes that he will ignite a cloaked/disguised spy. Spy checking is not a "skill". It is not something you need to take time to master. You simply have to spin and click frequently. Sure, you can check common spots, which you will learn by playing, but I'd be hard pressed to call that a skill. And yes, players being out of position will happen in 6v6 as well. The chances of it spoiling an otherwise great play are lower because the player making the great play is more likely to win the altercation due to fewer total enemies and fewer pseudo-random events.
Possimpible [facestabs are] Not a fault of highlander but game engine. Possimpible Demo being idiot means he is not doing stickybomb damage. Caber does 149 dmg, and also I was not aware that bombing medics is something exclusive to HL.Possimpible Airblast is not continuous thing. Unless pyro has good timing it won't do a thing.
1) You are trying to validate why things happen, but this is not an argument. I understand facestabs are not a fault of highlander in and of itself. Among other things, I am trying to get the idea across that the prevalence of facestabs is much much higher in HL because there are always 2 spies and that is one of the reasons why 9v9 is so frequently bashed or passed off as a joke.
2) Caber does 149 + 35 for the hit itself, which means instantly killing a medic. Yes, bombing is a mechanism in every game mode. The only weapon in 6v6 that will allow you to bomb and instakill a medic is the market gardener, which is just as stupid and unnecessary as the caber. The difference? You have to hit the medic with the market gardener before you land (or exploit the bunnyhopping bug which is quite difficult) whereas a demo just has to touch a medic. Sure, the demo is putting out no other damage, which would be devastating in 6v6, but in 9v9, when you are going for a medic pick/force, is it a problem? Not really.
3) No. Just, no.
Possimpible 39) Jarate - All around bad weapon.Are...you...serious?!?!?!?!? If you think jarate is anything less than absolutely incredible, I run the risk of sounding elitist by telling you that you have no clue about anything at all.

Once again, I will say--
You are welcome to disagree with my assessment of the weapons and situations. I am not presenting them as things that immediately need banned. I am not even presenting them as weapons that are so overpowered they should be used all the time. The UGC 9v9 ruleset is yours and I am not urging anyone to change it. I am merely saying that their absence in the UGC list of prohibited weapons is one (or 45) reason(s) people look down upon 9v9 UGC HL.

This should be framed and made an article or something. All truth

#4 TF2 Balance in TF2 General Discussion

what are you even saying. getting frustrated in a pub because one team has good players that are playing "power classes" doesn't justify the creation of a new thread.

not saying tf2 is perfect, but making a difference in classes and the recreation of the 9 classes would be totally unnecessary and probably ruin parts if not the entire game.
