It's a tag.. get a fucking grip rofl what a drama queen

Yeah basically, I'm just trying to think of a way of removing the randomness of unlocks like worms said above and still have some variability. Of course this would assume you have all unlocks available in matchmaking and not just ones in your backpack. They could even tie this in with hats (again, just for matchmaking) to give visual clues and some personality to the item set. In the same way as in the item set you've linked you have to have a Bonk Boy hat.

This might be a bit wacky and is basically a complete overhaul but hear me out.

What if we redesigned the tf2 class mechanic to mirror the system of Dota 2 and basically divide each class into "heroes". Since basically we have this already in the form of "loadouts", certain weapons work well with others in certain slots. e.g. sticky jumper ullapool caber combo; degreaser axtinguiser et.c. This would mean that Valve could just use the pick/ban system of heroes without having a monstrous amount of unlocks to pick/ban in a matchmaking system which would likely put a lot of people off. This would limit combinations but would allow the game to be more predictable when it comes to unlocks i.e. you have some idea of what is coming rather than just getting destroyed by a random unlock that you had no idea your opponent was using. Maybe each class picks x amount of loadouts that they can switch to at any time in the game? Again, this is a complete redesign of the current system of picking weapons at will but just wanted to throw the idea out there and see what people thought.

He'll be back, give it 6 months.

Most of these are just issues with matchmaking, cs has a lot of these issues. Matchmaking is never gonna be perfect because there will always be assholes.

I've seen a lot of people post about "What about people who run 5 pyros to mid?" I see this as the tf2 equivalent of running P90 and Autosnipers all game in cs. It will happen in the low ranks and that's why it's the low ranks. There's a reason we have the meta we do. It's the best lineup. A team of regular 6v6 format will stomp all other someone running pyro/heavy/engie/whatever to mid. So I assume, the higher your rank the more like actual competitive tf2 it will become i.e. people using mics not flaming not trolling etc. In the same way that the higher ranks of cs are more like proper competitive cs i.e. teamplay, good comms, ak/m4 and not p90.

TF2 is f2p though, so this is a big issue that needs to be addressed to prevent cheating/smurfs etc. Maybe require x amount of games in unranked?

EDIT: Just remembered that way back when Valve first released updates adding non-vanilla weapons (goldrush update?) they said something along the lines of "Weapon unlocks will not affect class attributes e.g movement speed, health, damage vulnerability" if Valve retweaked the unlocks with this in mind (so that different weapons are different in their own right) we'd probably see a lot of much better unlocks like kritz and gunboats. Some of the unlocks just feel cheap and lacking creativity.

Draw my nickname (kingofsquirrels) and I will love you forever. Do whatever you want, like a king surrounded by squirrels or a squirrel who is a king or a taxidermist with a paper crown. Anything you think of really. Go nuts (heh).

Holy shit. I was just revising for my probability exam and then I read this and threw up on my desk

I bought my ZOWIE FK from forsak3n. Quick, easy no bs. Would recommend.

I think if it wasn't for all the bad publicity people would have been more inclined to commit to ESEA than ETF2L since ESEA can offer a lot more than ETF2L. It's a shame the fuck E$EA bitcoin scandal coincided with the launch of ESEA EU TF2, since ESEA EU could've been huge for TF2 in general as enigma already pointed out.

My birthday's in december
