what?

How can you still be this blind? I hate having to derail the conversation even further, but we began our wait for "a major competitive update" in 2013. When it finally came out 3 years later it was complete garbage and too little, too late. During the wait to that, we've had some of the notoriously worst updates that have done nothing for neither the casual community, nor the competitive one.

Do you seriously, seriously still believe that your almighty Valve to come and bless us with a game saving update that will land us on the front page of Twitch every hour and give us weekly LANs?

b4nny, it really scares me how you're one of the most popular people in this community, and therefore have a huge effect on your followers, yet you're this backwards minded.

I think we should just ban whatever gives a player/team an unfair advantage. If something is unreasonably difficult to counter then I think it should be banned too. I don't mind if there are unlocks in the whitelist which literally everybody uses as long as it doesn't break the previously mentioned rules.

Yeah, I'll ask my doctor to be 100% certain, but like some of you said it's probably safer to take things easy for now.

I have been able to use a controller to play Geometry Wars 3, but that game only requires use of the analog sticks and trigger buttons. If it were a bit more demanding (like say using a controller for a fighting game) I think I'd have a tougher time.

Already have and it's been alright. Obviously I can't move my aim around anywhere near as fast as I was able to before, and my arrow aim has been better, but I'm managing.

Hey lads. I recently fractured my right hand's wrist in an accident and am currently stuck in a cast for the next 5 weeks or so. I was pretty disappointed at first because I thought I wouldn't be able to play any TF2 for a while, but I tried and am actually able to aim decently enough to play Medic well, which is good enough for me. Only thing is I can only aim with my arm, so small aim adjustments done with the wrist are not possible for the time being.

I can still have fun like this, but I'm left wondering if it's even a good idea to even try and game with a fractured wrist in a cast. I don't want to do it if it'll prevent my wrist from healing properly and leave me worse off when the cast comes off... Any thoughts as to whether I can continue like this or should I just give it a break for now?

Damn I'm amazed to see that it only took just over 100 people to help go above and beyond the call of this amazing team. Imagine what a larger chunk of the comp community with the same level of interest would be capable of...

im confused y r they bringing an overwatch caster to a tf2 event ???

Listen to more music
Be happy and confident behind every decision I take
Not worry about the future so much
Meditate more often
Skate more often/Get better at skating
Travel to England or somewhere for a bit idk

idk Reckoner is great fun to play imho. It's beautiful, aesthetically too. Wouldn't like to see sunshine make a comeback tbh, tho the latest version is a big step up compared to what there was before.

Hey all,

Was hoping I could entertain any medics with this config I made. I was surprised when I didn't find anything like it out there, though maybe I didn't search hard enough. You'll notice lots of medics have their "uber pop"/"we have uber" binds say something like "Uber/Kritz popped" or "We have Uber/Kritz". I thought it would be helpful (especially in lobbies/games without comms) to make it as clear as possible for your team to know what gun you're on, so I devised this little config to sort of workaround that problem.

What this config does:

This config alters your chat binds (The "We have Uber"/"We Popped Uber" binds) to suit what medigun you currently have equipped without forcing you to press different buttons for different chat binds. That means that if you press the shift key in order to spam your "We Have Uber" bind, with this config, once you switch to kritz you'll be able to press shift and have "We Have Kritz" spammed in chat without having to faff about with changing binds. The config does all the work for you.

The same goes for the Uber Pop chat message. If you have stock medigun equipped, pressing M2 pops uber and says "We Popped Uber", whilst with Kritz equipped, pressing M2 pops kritz and says "We Popped Kritz". I also included this kind of functionality for Vaccinator, but I've noticed some people get annoyed when constantly spamming "Vaccinator Popped" in chat, so you might want to disable that functionality yourself.

A few assumptions/things to note when using this config:

• The config assumes you have your Medigun equpped in loadout A, Kritzkrieg in loadout B, and Vaccinator in loadout C. If you don't have your loadouts set that way, you could either change the config to select your appropriate loadout slot, or change your loadouts accordingly
  
• The config assumes you'll have the medigun equipped by default, and will have the respective stock medigun binds set because of it. If for example you switch to medic with your kritzkrieg loadout equipped, you'll need to press the bind in the config that equips kritzkrieg in order to have the appropriate chat binds ready. I've made a habit of always pressing a loadout switch key as soon as I switch to med in order to make sure it doesn't mess up
  
• I believe class configs are re-executed when in tournament mode and the game goes from pre-game to starting. Because of this, if you equip something that isn't stock medigun with this config during pre-game, you'll start the game with your selected medigun equipped, but your binds will be set as if you have stock medigun equipped. Pressing the respective key to equip your desired medigun again should do the trick and set your binds accordingly (You don't need to switch from one medigun to another). This feature is also good for getting forwards spawns/back spawns and maintaining your uber. Try it.
  
• You will need to switch mediguns/loadouts with the listed binds in order for the chat binds to be set appropriately. Switching loadouts manually/any other way won't do the trick.
  
• Switching mediguns announces in team chat what you're doing.

How to use:

1. Copy and paste the above code into your medic.cfg file
   
2. Get on a server and switch to medic
   
3. Press Insert to switch to stock Medigun
   
4. Press Delete to switch to Kritzkrieg
   
5. Press Home to switch to Vaccinator
   
6. In spawn, press the respective button to re-equip your current medigun in order to get forward/backward spawns and MAINTAIN YOUR UBER
   
7. Press/spam Shift to let your team know you have Uber/Kritz/Vaccinator Charge
   
8. Press Mouse 2 to pop :)

That's pretty much it really. I've used this config for a majority of my time as a med main and have been pretty proud of it. Hopefully any of you that haven't seen anything like it before will try it out and have a slightly improved experience as med. The config is pretty straightforward but feel free to ask any questions :)

Happy healing

Is the download link in the OP not working for anyone else?

Can you guys recommend a good, accurate mouse for big handed palm grip users? I've been using a Razer Deathadder Chroma for the past 2 years, but it's always been a bit uncomfortable. I need something that fits my long bassist fingers.
