negatively impacts the roamer very much :( thankfully I don't do damage either way so it didn't nerf me :)

They need to change pyro flamethrower to make it a more powerful class at range, but require more aim to use. The whole reason for this problem is that the flamethrower's primary attack is garbage, fix that and you fix pyro for users and for opponents. Cone size vastly reduced so that it requires good aim to do damage, and then boost the range significantly and damage slightly.

Each flamethrower then needs a niche. Degreaser for fast-switch, backburner for flanking, phlog for w+m1, default for airblasting.

Hot damn yes, I didn't think about that. There'd still need to be a countdown to when the round is actually live though.

EDIT: It's still not worth having though, just extend humiliation time. The downside of no freezetime jumps is worse than the advantage of standing still in spawn rather than collecting beavern frags a bit longer.

I don't think you're understanding. My point is that the change is completely the wrong way to make this weapon viable, have a niche, be skillful to use - literally any hallmark of a good weapon in a game is missing and even made worse by this change.

I'm not saying it's OP, it's just a bad change. They made it even easier to use a pooplord weapon.

Naw don't be put off man. It IS a bad weapon, and the fact they buffed it is total nonsense. The weapon is now even easier to use and does a lot of damage. The fact you can't be killed once you get 225 damage with any weapon is crazy. Yes it's easy-ish to counter, but it's still a bad weapon and Valve's attempt at changing its properties only made it worse.

People are just mad because they think you're defending the pyro or something but this was a genuinely bad change. It's literally 225 damage for a full hp regen and kritz, and no effort on the part of the pyro. You can't even focus him down until he has the full hp and kritz, because before that he can taunt at any time. It's not OP, but it is stupid and a change in the wrong direction.

"Believes he read that somewhere in the past" aka random hearsay that you should in no way be making inferences from.

source? sounds like bs if it's the reasons people here are giving, they make no sense.

please rant about the medigun pickup uber situation next

I want to pick up mediguns to switch from uber to kritz or whatever but picking up actual ubers is gonna be so bad in mm

Has anybody figured out why they changed the uber build rate in setup time? Doesn't every map have 60 seconds which is more than enough time to get an uber anyway? Not getting the point or what they were trying to do, unless they're gonna reduce setup time to 30 sec.

New way to build uber will be to have a scout build whilst your least important player in the hold weakens himself for arrows across the map. You'll be able to build ubers significantly quicker I think, though I'm not sure if it'd be enough to push from in a stalemate...maybe 15% adv? Need to test.

If he can't create something that is so heavy he can't lift it - if that is impossible for him - he isn't omnipotent. That's the paradox.

Also got two people in eu interested. It's useful knowledge btw, good to get experience now if you're interested in any event management or running cups yourself.

caught the little shit red handed

We're planning to roll out a lot more cups over 2016 and we need more admins for this! Currently generic cups only have around 5 people who ever administrate them. We need a lot more so that people don't get burned out, from EU and NA.

Some of these will be on Razer, so you'd have to learn that format. Some would be through challonge and just organising stuff on irc/discord etc. Need trustworthy people who have time to commit to the tf2 scene by helping out shitters who can't tournament properly.

Must have a sense of the balance between dictator admin and not being so relaxed the tournament is 2 hours delayed. These tournaments would be run on Sundays most often, but some weekdays as well, and would require your attention for hours at a time. You would also not be able to play in these cups. You also don't get paid!

Sounds awesome right?! Apply within.

could Silentes get a key please? he is a moron and can't post for himself
