Im definately pro more koth maps. The 7 lowpandee game was an example. Generally tf2 overall has grown way more stalematey the last 2 years or so.

I guess you are right that people dont practise stalemate breaking properly.

Sure there was stalemates in 2014 but not as much as now. Just makes me wonder if thats something that people has just adapted to and decided is the way to play tf2 or if it is because of the medic movespeed buff, crossbow buff?

In my opinion as scout it is not fun with stalemates unless you offclass. And its definately very boring to watch

Prem games tend to be alot more stalematey than high games for instance

That doesnt solve the issue. Longer spawn times when you are attacking last is a better solution in that case so its easier to push out from last. I'm thinking about all maps thoigh so not only badlands

What do we do to reduce stalemates?

In my opinion to get tf2 to grow further and prevent people from getting bored and quit we need to have exciting games being played and casted. I don't think it helps when the game being casted is so slow and stalematey that even the casters are bored. An example is the game between 7 and lowpander yesterday where on badlands lowpander held last for 30 minutes or something crazy including full time and golden cap. They managed to push out and cap spire a few times but then having to retreat to last again

Maybe its just me missing the old aggressive era of tf2 but I really think it makes games alot more intresting to watch and also to play.

My question is, how to we reward aggressive plays and make stalemates less rewarding? Is that even something people would want? Is it a map issue or an issue with the 5cp format with round timers etc or maybe even an issue with the class balancing. Would changing the roundtime in the etf2l config help?

Let me know what you guys think!

Hello!
I'm spreading the word about the Essentials.tf discord group. Info regarding Team Fortress 2 production that Essentials.tf is doing will be announced there. For instance the upcomming Insomnia 61 LAN or future tournaments. Tune in and help them out with feedback! I've heard they are working on big things for TF2.

I dissagree with everything in this post. Is this a troll?

Your changes makes scouts pretty much useless and making soldier extremely overpowered. 10 times worse than the current scout. These changes makes no sense

40% speed buff puts soldier 13% faster than medics rofl

Alright REZ is a god apparantly

I think the demoman rollout is fine.

The art style of the map is great, I really like it. Regarding the layout and feedback about the map I will have to wait until I get home. Looks promising though!
