guys are more effort to talk to than girls, unless you share a specific shared interest

They've been slowly getting better, and if there's anywhere you can make a difference by positively showing the joys of comp tf2 over pub tf2, it's there.

dango pls

Can I finally play snake mid again?!

I spoke to him about that at i52 (!!!) and he said it's super easy to fix for anybody, you just plug some new co-ordinates into some file. I'm too stupid to do it though, but it doesn't require Lange himself.

loch n load is impossible to dodge, easy 300 damage whenever you pull it out and you can spam chokes from miles away. Silly weapon due to the range more than anything, you can spam badlands choke from your own train effectively.

Iron bomber should be unbanned, nice utility weapon if you want a more predictable GL but essentially the same.

In addition, I think having the pushback work more similarly to other projectiles so it can be strafed and has predictable pushback is also a key point.

If you're hitting every double donk it isn't random. Don't argue two mutually exclusive things.

You can get random lucky double donks, and some people that's all they do. But in order for it to be better than pipes you have to actually have very good timing with it.

It doesn't require good aim though, which imo is the biggest problem. It needs a reduction in projectile size so you have to be precise like pipes.

doesn't actually hit though right? unless my eyes deceive me that rocket is nowhere near, it's way too far in the distance and carries on going for about 1s after maela dies and hits the skybox

Doesn't exist, just play bball or ultiduo with friends / tf2pickup / tf2center. More you play the better you'll be.

Oh yeah sure, if you meant dominant then no, this isn't a superteam. But it's invite-winning material if they play it right.

I just got told last night while drunk that my flatmate thinks I'm bi and banging stark because he came over once and she heard weird noises. So...

10% of everybody who plays tf2 using mm is a big deal lol, tf2 is one of the biggest and most played games on steam. And the challenge for us is getting them to move into a league, that's where we have to put in the work advertising etc in the same way csgo does.

Also your impression of the pub community is about 3 years out of date, the vocal majority are very hyped for matchmaking and starting to really get their teeth into comp stuff recently, if you take a look at anywhere you can find pubbers discussing stuff e.g. reddit, spuf, youtube comments.

top three should all be very competitive, this is the dawn of a new era for invite

They took a map off Ascent and made the other two close in their first official, and they have a huge amount of potential to improve. Now imo Ascent were choking horribly in some parts of the razer final but even so, this is super promising.
