better keep bickering in your friends looking thread, that will help him get a team

Just got my ticket, seat n23.

Lft soldier/demo

Also my roommate is coming too and wants a ticket if anyone has an extra.

the only completely fair fight in tf2 is in ammomod

there are situations where teams are surprised by kritzkrieg, which is 100 times more game changing than a pick on a roamer that wasn't deserved.

being surprised by something isn't inherently a bad thing

are you deaf? are you blind?

the blackbox isnt an item like mad milk or bonk, which you have literally no indication of the player running that item. if you 1v1 a scout and he throws milk on you, thats fucking stupid. you have no chance to take that item into account when fighting them. the blackbox has a very distinct sound and look. its pretty obvious when someone is running it.

if you start a 1v1 with a bb soldier, you both hit 3 directs, and you die, it's your fault

its almost like you have to adapt and change your playstyle vs a blackbox soldier, dont just +forward into him, die because he gets healed for 45 and think "WTF he survived what a stupid weapon". you died because you weren't thinking.

I'll hit you up when I'm home from work

Except flank fights are much more than spam three rockets and leave. Also you get 15 health for every target you hit. If you say its just a potential 45 health buff you haven't actually used the weapon yourself.

Blackbox is viable on pretty much any map, you just need to play passive and trade spam with the flank.

All unlocks need to be designed to reward one of these three things.

Look at the unlocks that are widely used
gunboats: reward good movement
crossbow: rewards aim
boston basher: rewards aim, rewards teamwork by giving scout a way to build
black box: rewards aim
loose cannon: rewards good aim, is one of the best sidegrades in the game
winger: rewards movement

The two outliers are pain train and escape plan, but these weapons provide significant downsides that make them balanced.

Shit like the atomizer, sandman, cow mangler, guillotine, pocket pistol, vita-saw, solemn vow, wrangler, gunslinger, degreaser, powerjack, researve shooter, soda popper, GRU. They reward you for simply equipping the item or they provide such a big advantage that there's no reason to not use them. Some of them also force the other team to run them if they want to compete on an even playing field with you.

But all of these items are balanced in pubs/highlander. The only way 6s can have unlocks while still remaining fun and fast paced is for there to be a separate list of unlocks or weapon stats specifically made for 6s, but that will never happen.

Pick/ban works in dota because both teams can't use the same hero.

In tf2 each team can use the same weapons, so banning weapons limits both teams. It doesn't make the game more diverse, it just limits both teams. You could also just ban gunboats/escape plan and fuck over all the soldiers.

I'm 12th in the waiting list, what are the chances of me getting a ticket?

protip: if your room is too cold get thermal curtains, made a 5F~ degree difference in my room.

wheres the stream rando????
