extracrispy mentored my team from open to invite,and hes mentored a few other groups of people aswell
he would also give teams tryout recommendations and got a lot of people discovered that way too

LMAO the part youre concerned with is denying him beating you in mge

Is there anything....else in his comment youd like to perhaps address?

you cant take an uber trade into any point that isnt gully second or a last point,and even then without being able to scout speed your medic in to force them itll still take significantly longer to get the force,thus no teams will go for it since itll be an awful trade.

medics already dont hold that close with disad since like i said teams just adapted to having the demo bomb in,idk what div your talking about but if you hold close with disad regardless of scout speed or not you get caught and die lol.

i also played the game before the scout speed buff,so i dont see why youd bother listing that.

im all for trying this scout speed change,it does have the potential to alleviate some problems for soldiers,my only concern is trying to implement this without any sort of testing from invite teams,and there wont be nearly enough time to do such testing unless it started being done literally tonight.

invite medics already know how to do this unless youre implying they dont which is just a bizarre thing to say

this wont change the medic surfing away and the scout killing the roamer,its still all about timing and always was even with the current scout speed

and now instead of seeing ubers where you could bring any class in+a scout,now its just changed to being any class+the pocket,same thing different class only now its alot harder to catch teams with ubers as youre much slower

this is fair

i would again argue that every scout in invite has the ability to hit their a and d keys,just like medics can surf

this isnt a good thing,sniper is literally powerful enough already

people still wipe and lose their med with scout speed,yes meds will die more but it wont but nearly as drastic of a change from what it already is

all this change does is ultimately make invite teams just adapt,medics wont "get caught" more theyll BAIT more,teams wont stay in mid nearly as long theyll just bail if it looks bad since if you lose mid you lose the round.

(also this doesnt really make scout more or less skilled,they just wont go as fast,they still have the ability to aim and move)

I imagine there would be more mid to last rolls as it'd be harder to leave mid alive as a medic,but you'd also see alot less rounds where theres flowing fights back and forth from your own 2nd to their 2nd. Midfights would be a bigger deciding factor since even if you fuck up your ad push into last,itd be extremely difficult for the other team to get out of their last with uber without scout speed,but you could argue that as a good or bad thing depending on your perspective of which situation is more fun to play. I already dont have fun being stuck at last for 5 minutes the occasional time it happens in scrims currently,id have alot less fun being stuck for double that time and double the frequency it happens at currently.

I hope people who are voting on the medic speed change are taking into account the fact that its not just haha nerf scout machine go brrrr but that it also significantly affects the pacing of the game itself,and will lead to a significant increase in stalemates and discouraging uber trading unless its on last,no longer allow demo bombs for ad pushes,make 30 ad pushes practically impossible in high level,and reduce the effectiveness of dry pushes. Perhaps the euros who have been trying this for a few weeks haven't seen this happen and it'd be interesting to hear more from them,but i don't think this is a change that should just be thrown in right before a season with 0 testing from invite teams.

hayes

nope

jarrett left and we did ok with ether but not good enough so more people left
(side note: ether is a really underrated demo)

velocity has a different roster literally every season

I don't know why you're throwing around the fact you played with jarrett for so long as if you know what the better decision would be,especially with 0 knowledge of what our team environment has been this season and last season. Me,skye and rekuso have all played with him for 2+years total,and all in 6's. Not to imply his maincalling is bad but you've only played with him on a team in highlander,and highlander maincalling is different from 6's so i don't know how you can judge what his calling is like in 6s in an actual non-pug invite team setting. This is all opinionated anyway,and while i felt like his calling was more in line with what people wanted at the end of the season,people disagreed and still wanted sigh.

I get hes your friend,but i didn't play 2 years with him and not become his friend,we didn't just week 5 decide "lets cut jarrett",we felt like anytime we said anything to him it was met with disagreement or just plain "your wrong" type responses and it created an impasse. Disagreements about how to play aren't bad but when its 5v1 in that regard,then yeah the 1 should probably relent for the sake of the team,and we felt that never really happened. Its always possible the 1 could be right but if it creates an environment where no ones having fun playing that way then the team just isn't a good fit for everyone together,and that's what happened.

Jarrett's my friend as well and this is gonna be my only response since replying anymore with specifics from other teammates sides of things is just gonna turn into badmouthing him unnecessarily,so i can appreciate defending your friend if you feel he got unfairly treated,but please understand my response in defending my friends for making this decision,regardless of what my stance was/is on cutting him,so please don't take it in an aggressive way either.

i look pretty different from rewind last year
