Friendlies Should Be Perma bannedI’m gonna say it straight: friendlies ruin the game and should be banned. Permanently. No warnings. No “just having fun” excuses. Gone.This is a multiplayer FPS. You queue into a match, you're expected to play. Not dance. Not taunt. Not build a damn dispenser hug circle. PLAY. THE. GAME.Every time some clueless clown starts congaing in the middle of the map, it drags the whole match down. They're not cute. They're not funny. They're just dead weight. Worse, they actively get in the way—body-blocking, feeding the enemy ultimates, distracting players who are actually trying. It’s like playing with one less teammate, except that teammate’s also screaming “why u kill me i was friendly :(” in chat every 5 seconds.And let’s be honest—most of these “friendlies” are just low-effort griefers trying to get reactions. “Oh no, the evil tryhard shot me during my taunt ” — shut up. This isn’t a sandbox. Go to a trade server or one of those sandbox maps where you can play tea party all day long. Casual is not your personal playground.We already have enough problems—bots, hackers, lag, garbage matchmaking—and now we gotta deal with a Heavy throwing sandwiches at the enemy instead of defending last? Nah. Kick 'em. Ban 'em. Don’t come back.TF2 is a combat game. If you queue up and refuse to fight, you’re throwing. And if you’re throwing, you should be banned like anyone else trolling or AFKing.That’s it. No sympathy. No compromise. If you’re a friendly main, you’re part of the problem.
Pick better servers, I haven't seen one in literal years
Being friendly should be a temporary and spontaneous thing.You about to uber in and both your patient and the enemy patient blow each other up? Conga with the enemy medic for a moment and then book it out of there.Spot a spy out of position and he's obviously fucked? Humor him for a moment if he ties to offer you a highfive and then killbinds when the hands connect since he knows he's dead anyway. Multiple people fall off a cliff? Enage in having a little giggle at their expense and then return to the shooting.Theres a difference between letting the absurdity of this game and its playerbase making you laugh and trying to be a fulltime dispenser that people can ERP with.Theres a time and a place for being afk, anyone who wants to consciously not play the game can simply uninstall.
>>722511696ThisAnd honestly, in my last few hundred hours of TF2, I don't think I've seen anyone being friendly to a problematic degree like OP's suggestingRarely there's a conga train from spawn to the point on a KOTH map after a round but that's about it
for me? Friendlys are just a +1 for my strange weapons. I don't even read their tranny 'I'm a friendly!' cries either.
>no fun allowed
>>722512315it's just attention seeking behavior making you have to accommodate them, guarantee every single one of them is 'trans'.
>>722511696This is the way.
>>722510380Friendlies haven't been an actual thing in literal ages, there used to be full on friendly servers but that shit is in the past
>>722514164guess you don't ever play casual
>>722514940Who does?

Just kill them. After getting killed a few times they'll start trying to kill you back, aka actually playing the game
>>722515590I SAID IM FRIENDLY! WHY?
>>722512315>fun
>>722510380UGC ping spoofing subhuman servers should be shutdownI am gonna say it straight: buying and flooding the server list with hundred servers should get your servers nuked. Permanently. No warnings. No "I am just providing servers" excuses. Gone.
>>722520721Returning after almost a decade and seeing the absolutely horrible state community servers are in was genuinely harrowing, what have they done to this game
>>722510380just wanted to say if you’re the nigger who has a crouching sniper spray i hope you and your whole family die in a fire
