we've already been shown a solution with the winger, though. so long as they realize the design's busted, they can basically just use these broken weapons as blank canvases to try out new weapon concepts

like I doubt even the most stubborn heavy main will be sad at the natascha dying a quick death if they get something far more intuitive to the game out of it

stab your sentry repeatedly to make it stronger

hopefully this is a habit they're beginning to pick up and not just a one-time response to a big /r/tf2 backlash

this, but not jokingly, because knowing valve I doubt they released everything they were working on within just this update

pls continue to update us on your dA-esque drama episode wherein you intend to leave forever

I'm kinda surprised they haven't made an mp_tournament setting that's just the standard MM HUD, but with the Bo3 dots on top replaced with plain ol' numbers

also, I'm kinda surprised nobody mentioned the pyro buff from this update

that grape pocket-pyro-on-gullywash idea seems a lot more viable when your lower DPM can potentially be offset by ruining your opponent's healing

on its own, medic being buffed isn't a bad thing, especially when one of the biggest flaws to lowest-end MM was that people might not want to play medic, but you always need a medic on your team. the actual issue here is that rather than changes that'd promote newer players trying him out (like a flat uber-rate increase across the board or whatnot) they gave scout something else that's really good as a side effect

MM was always going to start off as a bit of a mess, and the mindset of that was that leagues could always just continue on with their whitelist until it got cleaned up well enough, but this fundamentally changes a lot. idk how one would handle it

the reasoning is almost definitely "it makes ppl show off their weapon skins"

also there's a scout primary which already tried to serve a primary purpose of pushing people around since 2009

keyword there being "tried", of course

at first I thought this was a medigun merged with the rocket jumper

...which, actually, kinda makes sense for the model of a weapon which does 0 damage. I dig it

finally, we have found the only good /r/tf2 post

a lot of the arguments w/r/t lange says more about the scene's reliance on a small group of people than lange himself, tbh. if you have more than a small handful of people leading the community, one single person's actions should not be such a killer

thankfully modern day 6s is far better, mostly because valve's official blessing means people take 6s far more seriously. someone like muselk is 1000x more influential overall, but even places like reddit can consistently smack his opinions down

last I checked (which, granted, was years ago), they still did single elimination tournaments, which is objectively the worst idea for a game like this. anything considered random can be played around with enough games (I once saw a fucking competitive mario kart wii scene--items on and everything--and they get around randomness by playing through a dozen races per "match"), but making it possible for you to drop out of a tournament from one single unlucky play is maddening

on one hand I hope this taunt is one of the ones added, but on the other hand I think people will get incredibly annoyed at all the people strutting to mid in matchmaking
