placement matches

tbh i almost wish i got beat more as a kid only cause my mother had the uncanny ability to defuse a situation by identifying what she needed to say to destroy all my confidence lol

(don't beat ur kids it's the cheap way out)

for me personally, I don't really blame the strictly pub players who have somewhat misguided thoughts regarding game balance/certain unlocks only because some shit is only truly broken in the hands of players of a caliber that they'd probably rarely see in pubs ever. can't really expect people to know shit that they've never experienced before

it's only when those people then go ahead and state that they know better than people who have actual experience playing against good players that tilts me lol

(also the people who are like competitive balancing ruins casual play like ???)

I mean, doesn't that just change it back to pre love and war heavy once they rev up?

remove the random fire invuln from the dead ringer and i'll be a lot more happy with the weapon, seems kinda weird that it has it especially since the spycicle is a weapon in this game

also might just be me but my only problem with the guillotine was that (on low graphics + laptop mind u, so others might not have this problem) the projectile is fucking invisible

all in all though, even if the numbers aren't perfect right now, i do agree with most of valve's ideas as to why certain unlocks are broken/unfun/bad and i'm just happy to see that they recognize that these problems do exist

although if somebody can tell me what their justification for eviction notice changes i'd be all ears cause rn it just seems like a change for no particular reason? (edit: jk it's not uber building it's max health drained i can't read)

personally i still think any format where permasniper is required or near mandatory is a bad format
still had fun watching tho

i never understand why being representative of pubs is in any way shape or form a good thing

pubs are like the least competitive thing of all time (how many people actually play the objective until the timer's about to run out) and have some of the worst maps of all time (dustbowl?? 2fort??) along with terrible team composition (multiple spies/snipers/engineers)

how would this be a pro for anything that's attempting to be a competitive format lol

any competitive format will be, and should be, infinitely closer to 6's (and hl) than it will be to pubs

except it doesn't lol the ability to switch classes is like the core crux of tf2 and i remember all those tf2 dev interviews specifically mentioning specialists and generalists, clearly suggesting that valve's tf2 (whatever the fuck that means/should you really care at this point) was built with class switching/class minmaxing in mind.

more classes being played is not inherently less restricting, if anything highlander is the one true gamemode to let you know that there are situations where your main is complete and utter dogass, assuming your main isn't one of the core 6's classes or sniper.

^I think you mean don't ban the jarate (unless I'm gravely mistaken)

just as a curious question was there ever a serious consensus reached on whether or not the banners help to break stalemates or do they just end up promoting them?

lol what everybody hated mini sentries back then (and still now) it wasn't some Illuminati conspiracy perpetuated by star lol is this guy crazy

he shittalked the game's shitty development i think dane somehow equated that to being disrespectful to the community

ily terry

either that or flatline's edit of omphud

if u think a pyro update will let you 1v1 heavies ur gonna be very disappointed

the tftv dm servers won't let you in if your account is under level 5 iirc, that could be another fix for the ferocitygaming server

episode #234234234 of a highlander player/redditor who has never played 6's before suddenly becoming an expert on the "stale" 6's meta

honestly just downvote and move on
