EyeFor people always going with friends, this may not matter, but going with 5 randoms its just going to be annoying. Having a game with people insulting and complaining because something doesn't matches the norm or the Master of classes stream said is infuriating.
Going with randoms is always going to be a risk. There's nothing there that can be taught.
EyeThe so called norm "Meta" isn't even the easiest and quickest way to play.
...Yes it is. That's why it's called the Meta. It doesn't always revolve around the Medic, either. Example: 5 Pyros + Engineer at the end of Hamlet Hostility. The easiest way to achieve the goal.
EyeI do play MvM a lot too, more than PvP, currently in progress making a MvM map, tracking down bugs with the small community i am part of that plague the Gamemode. That community also creates custom content for MvM.
So you're jealous you weren't reached out to because you're nobody. And yes, by your demeanor, you're the plague on the community, not the community.
EyeI do not care a single bit if you "follow the meta". The argumentation "3 bison soldiers and no medic" isnt really impressing me. Having whole different setups in the game is routine for me.
Great, that's what I'm getting at. You were making a point of saying that Ceejaey and the others follow the meta or "offer bad advice". There is no bad advice if it shows results.
Also, if I wanted to impress you, you'd have to be worth it first.
EyeIf you want to make a promotion of MvM in such ways, simply do it right.
Go with the basics of MvM, and simply forgot and don't orientate on the Meta.
There is no "right" way to play MvM. As long as you produce results; fine. The meta is the easiest way to produce results. Once new players understand that meta and understand the maps, waves and how to play more, they can break off and play MvM in whatever way they want.
I see what kind of MvM player you are now after this entire post though. You're the "if they're not playing it my way, they're wrong". Shut the fuck up lmao.
EDIT: If you'd like to quote some "false information", I will happily tell you to shut the fuck up lmao again. I got all night.
Why am I even talking about MvM this hard fuck me
