Was posted day one of Jungle Inferno. Basically flame particles are behaving like the bison and hitting more than once.

There's a script for it now. Being able to flail wildly and be rewarded with 120 damage for that is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone remember that clip at SweLAN when two scouts were going for last on Gully with ~60 health and a pyro just flailed and killed both of them?

Yes, read the patch notes.

And yet a popular opinion I hear when people talk about why they aren't into 6s is the fact that the whitelist exists in the first place. A lot of players don't seem to understand why it's necessary, because things that are alright for pubs are quite obviously not alright in a server with only half the players. Banning more weapons definitely isn't the way to go, I think, but it's hard for Valve to hit the right balance between pubs and more serious gameplay with a lot of weapons.

The most popular pub maps are Dustbowl, 2fort, Gold Rush, Hightower, and Baddiewater, of course they love it. Sometimes I really do wonder why the pub community loves maps that are just awful to play on so much.

Remove the cliff because being juggled off a map hazard is not fun.

Someone straight up told me that that's not a problem because you can just look to the right and check to see if the train is coming. Also like how every single one of the new maps has a map hazard that honestly has no right to exist, like the trains and the crocodiles. I guess whoever playtested these really likes airblasting people off cliffs.

It's a portmanteau of mastercom and config.

Brazil and Banana Bay are both Sniper Sightlines: The Map. Lazarus was merely okay, and Mercenary Park has a lot of weird design flaws. Words cannot express how much I hate the random train on both Moss Rock and Banana Bay, though.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with TF2's microtransaction model, though. If you're offended by some of the newer hats breaking the artstyle, just use no hats mod or something. I feel like people who hate on microtransactions don't really understand the difference is between some company like Nexon doing it and Valve doing it.

It's not that complicated once you actually attempt to do it. Even an idiot like me can figure out how to make weapon skins, you just have to try instead of looking at the directions and immediately saying "this is too hard" without even attempting anything.

Playing a Payload pub(or any map with a bunch of ammo packs, really, but Payload has it the worst) against a DR spamming spy was usually a nightmare. They never died, they just surfed from ammo pack to ammo pack and having to drop everything to chase down this one spy across the entire map with his speed boost so he doesn't farm Diamondback crits of your tard teammates was not fun to play against. The most important concept when it comes to whether to buff or nerf a weapon should be "is it fun to play against" and not purely "is it fun to play as." Shame the diamondback also went untouched, there's a lot of weapons that just went unnoticed by Valve.

I was hoping Valve would fix the heavy exploit before I start grinding contracts because honestly I don't even want to deal with that right now.

It also doesn't count double donks for the contract that involves the loose cannon.

Anyone else getting invites to join their party from people not even on their friends list?

I honestly feel that it was pretty underwhelming, because I don't really care about pyro enough to be excited for balance changes to him and the ones that they decided to go with seem mediocre. Lack of competitive/casual changes is really what kills the entire thing for me. Only silver lining is that now I get to level my strange natascha on jetpack pyros with no air control.
