Yes they do. Rocket jumping is a skill, gunboats allow you to use that skill more often.

why is this even an argument i said that booties requires a different type of skill to play. It gives demoman a totally different playstyle (good or bad). I don't see what there is to argue here. It's the same as pretty much all unlocks, it gives you advantages and disadvantages and makes some things easier to use while other things harder. oh but its a sheepy post it must be wrong.

I'm confused now. Booties do add something to the class. I think booties and gunboats are very similar. They take a weapon away (shotgun, pipes) and give you a buff on a different aspect of the class. So you need to learn to adapt to play without that weapon, which adds a new skill to the class. Learning to play without pipes is just like learning to play without a shotgun and learning to use the advantage booties gives you is like learning to use with the advantage gunboats give you. Gunboats didn't add a skill to soldier, rocket jumping was already in the game, gunboats just get you to make the most of that skill, just like booties get you to make the most of other skills such as positioning or ammo management.

I got no idea why americans want to ban it, It's not that strong and I feel like ESEA shouldn't take the opinion of mid players so seriously that they ban it. This is just my opinion and personal experience but losing the ability to use pipes is a huge deal as it leaves you very vulnerable and the health boost doesn't do much when you have a soldier with gunboats sitting on your head. When you run out of your 8 sticky's you are completely useless and a sitting duck, if a good scout knows you are running booties they will abuse this. This weapon will probably only be used by people who struggle with aiming pipes but even then they will be at a disadvantage vs demomen who can aim pipes so it's better to just learn how to aim pipes. It might be really good for early mids but I feel like you can counter this and then he has no pipes to spam or to defend himself with.

Playing with booties does take a decent amount of skill as you need to play around your huge disadvantage of not having pipes. You need to have top positioning, ammo management ect to be able to use them effectively throughout the game.

no i didn't. trump didnt have anything to do with my post, i just used him as an example. you all just decided to make it about trump.

then why I do i get so many angry replies every time I post. all i even did in this thread was mention trumps name and look at the reaction. actually people care way too much about my views and it's stupid.

he is a billionare, has a young hot wife and is a close candidate to become president of the USA, if that's not being successful I don't know what is.

wat

You can hate on Donald Trump all you want but that won't change the fact that he is one of the most successful people alive. If Trump had done what Exze did and went back and removed stuff he said then he wouldn't be where he is today. I didn't even get to read Exze's posts but no matter how bad they were, if he really believed what he said then removing his posts because of minus frags and angry nerds is awful. Exze if ur reading this stand by your opinions and don't let others control your thoughts and opinions.

Exze why did u remove all of your posts don't back down to the minus frags stand up to what you believe in, the greatest people who ever lived had people minus fragging them all the time irl and they still just stood up for what they believed in. Look at someone like Donald Trump he gets scrutinized and minus fragged more than anyone else but still he stands for what he believes in no matter what and look where he is now, about to become one of the most powerful people on earth.

i don't think race is a social construct. That wikipedia link doesn't change anything.

idk man im pretty sure I was born biologically white and u were born biologically jew. Doesn't that make us different races biologically?

thanks you too hope ur having a nice day

White > East Asian > everything else is SHIT

jk if ur not white or east asian ur still beautiful it's on the inside that counts :)

are you trying to say that i'm advocating domestic abuse or something. i dont get why men getting punched deserve it but if its a women you cant touch them. it should be more about strength instead of gender. i can get if this was like a 1 time thing but if this women is constantly nagging about his hair then she deserves it would stop her doing it. it shouldn't make a difference what gender you are. i'm not saying it's ok to beat women but bullies should get whats coming to them whatever gender.

People like her need to be punched in the face. Shame it will never happen cuz nowadays punching a black women is the equivalent of lighting a school bus full of children on fire. I don't get why women should get a free pass on getting punched just cause they are women. Might just be cause i'm scottish and it's normal here to get beaten up if you insult someone, no matter who you are.

Honestly dental care in the UK is really cheap considering everything. I think it might cost a bit more in England but living in Scotland I have never had to pay for dental care once. If you are under 18 you get everything free and there are many other ways that you can get everything for free as well. Examinations are free to everyone, simple extractions are like £7, fillings are £7 or £18 depending on what type of filling it is. Only things that are really pricey are root canals (£40) or complete upper and lower dentures (£150). I don't know how much dental care costs in the USA but considering how we get pretty much free healthcare for everything else, I think it's quite reasonable.
