So are you rallying to get it unbanned or are you just making it clear the majority opinion was misguided?

People are arguing for the qf as if its stats aren't blatantly amazing. There's nothing to adjust to, if anything I imagine people will get much better with it. You're sacrificing 50% of buffs for a faster heal rate, an uber that can compete with the others and sometimes exceed them, and the luxury of choosing every fight. Honestly on some maps with a good combo the qf medic should never die. It lowers the skill-ceiling of medic tremendously.

I don't understand why people think three mediguns is better for the game. As we saw today not dying can lead to problems of being countered encouraging teams to play more passive, return to a spawn to switch charge, or have a worse push. For the most part, teams will use one medigun for mid, whichever is the strongest (before qf, uber was favoured over kritz). This means they're stuck on that gun and if other teams knows how to play a style that benefits from its counter then it'll just lead to a back and forth between two points in which one Med gets stuck with a medigun that is bad for pushing the next point against an opposing med with a gun that counters their's. And then it repeats. Even when it is about prediction (both meds die) it's essentially random on who counters who. It basically turns TF2 into an item check.

slipz I'll be your ultiduo partner again if you give me his number.

I need it too please give me his number.

Well taken, if you want any help in the future (be it proofread, opinion, or anything else) feel free to add me.

First of all my complaint wasn't to say that these players aren't some of the best players, it's just by confidently saying that they are the best discredits the other great players in this game. Honestly to deny that from some people is completely disrespectful.

I don't see how it's fact that banny is the best player on LAN. I mean if you are to go just by performances Platinum has been the best at both Demo and Soldier at some point. Surely, that would make him better player than banny who has only played one class (banny is very good at every class I'm just looking at league performance because we're talking about facts here right).

If you're saying it's fact that everyone thinks that he's the best then sure I'd agree with you. But it's articles like this that influence that opinion. There are a lot of good players in this game that don't get any credit because of this way of thinking. At any rate if there isn't clearly a best player I don't think you can justify writing as if their is one.

The cyzer complaint is more of a stylistic one. At first glance, conjunction of cyzer proving himself over the past seasons and his claim that he was the best implies that he is the best. But, I already admitted that was more of my own error.

The way he wrote about lanksy made it sound like he would outdamage banny the entire LAN. If a soldier outdamages the best demo then he is damn well the best soldier. Again, I think that was more of a stylistic error amplified by the danger of claiming someone the best player.

EDIT: I don't see how him playing ESEA has anything to do with how he writes this article. I'm not trying to kill the dude I'm trying to make his articles better. Also not sure how his past season articles are of relevance.

Why should me knowing you affect how I read this?

As far as what you should write, it's really not my job to worry about that. I didn't complain about the lack of content so I'm not sure their roster staying the same is a valid retort.

All I was saying is that I'm annoyed by the dick riding going on and the lack of proofread.

At first glance, the conjunction of cyzer's self-proclamation and him proving himself over the past seasons implied to me that he was the best scout. Honestly I think there are many amazing scouts in Invite and I don't think anyone can confidently say which one is the best. It would have been better to approach cyzer's section like you approached clock's section. This may be a misunderstanding on my part.

You straight up say that banny is the best player. I think they are a few players that could take that title, and like I mentioned with cyzer, I'm not sure you can ever really determine who is the best player in a team game.

After stating that banny is the best player you go on to say that Lanksy can out damage banny without a problem. If a pocket is outdamaging the best demoman without a problem then surely he's the best pocket. All of the pockets competing at LAN are very good and implying that one is clearly the best is a mistake. You don't say that about Platinum in the mix^ review even though most would consider him to be the best pocket.

And of course, you state that shade is the best Medic. While I will agree with you here it'd be much better to tell me why he's the best. How he positions himself better than the other Medics or how he hitscan dodges like a boss instead of just flatly stating he milks the best and he trolls his team (I'm not sure what this means :<). Then you go on to talk about his ubers. Honestly, to me, you're implying that he innately has better ubers than other people, trivializing the amount of work he and his team do to get those later ubers. To say that he'll probably achieve a perfect game is, in my opinion, a silly prediction to make regardless of the player.

So when you say that 3 (4 if you want to count the cyzer part) of their players are so clearly the best, despite many other great players being at the LAN, it's a little disgusting honestly.

Also, I'm not sure why you're offering predictions on unlocks being used because this is a preview not a prediction.

In general this felt like it had too many inside jokes, too many best class proclamations, and not enough of how the teams plays or individuals play. I understand that writing this may have been more difficult for you than the others, but you do a good job of adding some fluff to those and I really don't see that effort in this one. I mean if I can write this much about your review surely you can write more or better about the actual team.

I'm not sure if this is a fair critique because I'm tackling you're review from the perspective of an Invite player and someone who wouldn't know much about Invite TF2, but I honestly think that you are missing or ignoring the subtleties of how some of these players play.

And in general it felt to me after the first read that you were riding their dicks really hard. After reading it through a couple more times I may have initially been tripped up because of the grammatical errors. I still feel that there is more dick riding in this preview than the other three combined.

Proofread. Also, this is really biased to the point where it's unsettling.

He's a really cool guy and a very good player.

Congrats Nahanni and Boink.

And Kapoww the best green power ranger there ever was.

Of all the clips you could've picked, why did you pick the clips where nothing registers? T____T
