Sniper can run smg or can pronoscope the stickies, medic can crouch on them and melee them (and considering where dave was it was probably somewhat safe to do so considering no actual line of sight)
In any case, every class can counter stickies, it's called wasd. In this case wasd your way out one of the three other spawn exits, lol

Seems legit

That thread is hilarious
Are people really that stupid?

Oh so this is why I'm so bad at scout :p thanks for the excuse

This happens to all the mice in my house except one, and that's the ten year old microsoft one that randomly scrolls every few seconds
needless to say, i need to buy a new mouse, but many mice do fail pretty quickly in my experience if you flick them around a lot. It is probably partially to do with all mine being cheap, but there are four mice now that I've tried for tf2 and had to ditch because they either didn't work for flicks as soon as i tried to use them or stopped working after a few months. Oddly, they all work perfectly fine for normal desktop applications, it's just fast movement that stuffs them up.

Oh no...

Again, I have to agree with you. This is how I felt originally when I heard the idea and with support from valve it might actually work, although everything I've heard about it suggested it was basically just another delay to the start of the matches that is pretty much pointless if you just used a common whitelist in the first place. I'm just not even interested in 'ifs' about Valve support, if they annouce that they will sponsor comp then great, these things can change, but in the meantime given that it's unlikely pick/ban is pretty useless.

Perhaps if the ridiculous weapons actually ever got balanced...

I agree with you, for the record. I also don't think that a (hopefully somewhat scientific) investigation into weapon balance is second-guessing, far from it. That's a great initiative, and it will be instructive to see how the 'meta' forms. I'm more just talking about the people who complain that keeping 6s balanced in the face of the stupid weapons is the reason that valve doesn't support comp tf2. Usually they offer no solution, but if they do suggest one it's basically just a blatant attempt to shoehorn another game's system into tf2, eg pick/ban. We all know that won't work, because it's been tested and yet people still keep suggesting it. Comp tf2 is great as it is, and perhaps a better system can be organised, in which case great, go ahead, but in the meantime don't fix what ain't broken, please.

Chill, NA dudes. ESEA is not the only league in the world, even with CEVO dead. Even if ESEA was completely dead now (it isn't) all that would be is a setback for American tf2. The ETF2L season just finished, with a really great couple of matches to finish it (at a really amazing standard, too, ignore WAR he's too modest), Ozfortress are having their finals now and because the more established streamers are busy irl like a lot of you guys now (demographics...) other people are stepping up to the plate to cast the matches, hell even div 4/5 semi-finals are being casted. Ugc stuff is presumably going on, and there's plenty of highlander for all those who like that sort of thing.

People will move on all the time, most of you guys are what, 20-27? You probably have more important stuff than tf2 to worry about now, or you certainly will soon... but hopefully those of you who have time and still enjoy it will keep playing leagues and the gaps can and will be filled by younger blood.

Pretty much everyone here knows why most weapons are banned, namely because they suck. They either suck in tf2 as a whole, like the bfb, sc, whatever, or they suck for cp/koth (gunslinger), the suck for smaller player counts (wrangler, dr, beggar's bazooka) or because they suck when people are actually good (pretty much every other weapon that isn't used). You guys can't change that, and why would you want to? Don't second guess these decisions, they were right to make and they will continue to be right. If valve employees don't bother to educate themselves enough about their own game then their opinions are unimportant and certainly provide no valid reasoning behind suggestions of changing the game in any way.

Just play the game and keep growing those lans, the i-series in particular because by now that's recognised as 'the' tf2 tournament of the year, around the world. Just keep making those great (and Lange, you were a massive part of that this time around) and tf2 won't die quickly. I don't know about anyone else but I'm already excited for next year. Hopefully the stream/vod viewer counts are getting high enough to attract more sponsors, because with money coming into the game valve's intransigence will be basically irrelevant.

Worst: NewbieMcNewbface
Best: kiler4fun because it's actually not a bad pun

Then it probably isn't

To do a clean reset of mumble you need to clear its registry entries as well before reinstalling. I can't remember the exact instructions but they aren't hard to find on google, try that. But obviously if it's your isp this won't help (although in that case trying a mumble server hosted elsewhere could work).

Odd
I heard that someone who didn't even preorder it got the horns

Because you're wrong and he's Australian.

That's really dodgy, I deliberately didn't use different interps for different classes because I thought it wouldn't work -_- you could actually use that to get free headshots (cl_interp 0.5 in sniper.cfg) if the enemy team is near your spawn, lol
