freight has been a terrible dm map always, fog put it in because he thought people dying to the trains was funny
not a fan of warmtic either but at least it hasn't been wasting my time for 10+ years

i enjoy playing sultry because it's new and playing snakewater process and metalworks for 10 years has worn on my soul. i do not enjoy playing sultry because it is comically easy to defend.

on the subject of game time, the majority of the lasts in 6s are too easy to defend currently. Gully is kind of the only map where the defenders don't actually have a positional advantage even with offclasses. Part of this is definitely spawns being too strong (process) but part of it is just map design (metal, snake, sultry)

losing 1 pipe and rollers isn't insignificant BUT
removing one of demoman's biggest weakness (range) while also making it a better dm class in a 1v1 (especially on LAN) significantly outweighs the downsides. the weapon was straight gate kept by itself for so long because it makes you want to farm long range pipes like an idiot (which isn't even bad somehow) but once you get over that hurdle the weapon is straight better on the class that's already the most impactful class that isn't medic.
The weapon also buffs hitting 100 damage across the map with a pipe which, gameplay wise, is the most obnoxious part of the class. The weapon also somehow makes quickies viable and enables a playstyle where you sit way out of range of every other class while also pressuring one shots on scouts from across the map. People complain about sniper incessantly and this shit is literally just projectile sniper class while also STILL being demoman.

guys this is a serious post

do 1+2 & this

thank you.

shady maple is pretty neat
they also have a tchotchke and furniture store lol

demos

nyxi i'm right here man

stabby

uhhh...
joe..?

over-utilized and underdeveloped

also IP theft is dumb and bad

There's significantly more traps than this. 4 (and also on the slanted wall above 4!!!) is probably the most impactful to remove because it stops soldiers from jumping through and it's essentially impossible to airdet I like the idea of the nook a lot, and I think similarly you could move the wall out fort where hose/ the wooden platform is to give a little extra space to dodge spam for the first scout / soldier who get through

yeah being able to see on demo would literally make walking past the point impossible and it's already very difficult (good luck doing anything with an uber). it would also make the carpets even stronger because the demo would be able to det on them confidently. It would inherently make demoman less interesting because decision making becomes more obvious and straightforward.

scout will always sometimes randomly die to demoman, sticky pipe and the rare sticky sync can literally instantly kill you, same as getting shot at by two people at the same time. That's not a map thing that's just tf2.

+1 forward hold is too strong

No.
