>came back to tf2 after 13 year hiatus>picked demoman again because i used to top pubs with him>my loch n load muscle memories all gone>engineers can now do a hadouken that erases my winbombs>the average pub skill level is much higher now>i am now the reason my team always losew-what the fuck am i supposed to do now
>>730636760>nerf all the fun weapons because le comp balance>give engie a fuck huge projectile deleter with zero downsidesBefore I quit tf2 completely I remember playing tf2 classic lot more than the actual game.
>>730636951demo being able to delete scouts with a single shot was stupidand before you ask, yes the direct hit is also stupid
>>730637186Tf2 is a strange game where more balance patches it got the more unbalanced it became
>>730636760just play stock heavyno one will blame you for being braindead
>used to be able to hit stock pipe airshots>overflick now>switch to cuntsman as cope
>>730636760Play while drunk.You'll get the hang of it.
>in the end, console TF2 is the purest unfiltered experience
>>730636760>the average pub skill level is much higher nowHappened to all games. Zoomers just better, better reaction, higher iq. Anyway, I’ve also come back after an 8-year break. The game feels the same for me, nostalgia is at high level.
I'm gonna do it
>>730637439random damage variance was dogshit thoughimagine landing two direct pipes on a soldier and he survives with 2hp
>>730636760Quit. I can barely stomach casual or anything that should be taken even a little seriously in this game now. Everyone who just wanted to dick around is gone because of quickplay, now all thats left is 20k hour snipers and 100k kill kunai spies wrecking casual servers with teams full of retarded new players who are all troons. And most of the goofy servers are dead or populated with those two types. Its all sunken cost players and braindead troons who have been kicked out of every other community.
>>730642286I wouldn't be mad because outside of this hypothetical he's going to crater or get sneezed on by any of my 11 team mates.
I had so much fun playing exclusively arena mode prior to too many updates.
>>730636951Loch is still demo's best primary and it's not even close.
>>730636760Just quit demoloser.Pick Spy. Practice. Listen to epic anime orchestral music. Comlete the entire Yakuza series. Have wine with baguette as your breakfast for at least a year. Only wear suits, be it outside or at home. In a year, you'll become a machine. Fags will endlessly seethe because they deem your knifecraft "cheating", women won't be able to resist your presence. Your mental is going to be so tempered that even the chinese monks shall see Buddha in you.
>>730640395hold on to your anushttps://youtu.be/XI0h_ceLBOccheck the date
>>730636760>engineers can now do a hadouken that erases my winbombsKekDon't worry about winning and just hive fun, ending eill come if you keep your head. Either way you should find a community server again as quick play died since you have been gone and the casual that replaced it still blows.
>>730642534>*meatshots you after bumping into your sorry ass*Hehey, look, you shapeshifted into a dead guy!
>>7306424703 shots, smaller explosion radius and no rollers is pretty rough, and without the universal damage bonus it becomes a pretty situational sentry busting gun>just don't miss lmao
>>730642534I just pick pyro and every spy leaves the matches for some reason
>>730643082These are simply peasants trying to mimic Kings. You've seen these C-shaped posture 50kg stickfigures trying to act as alpha males after one Tate brothers podcast? Ye, thats what these spies are.
>>730643082>call for the death of all furfags in chat>pyrotard becomes too busy arguing in all chat to notice me backstabbing himIf it doesn't work target fempyro appreciators.
>>730642925What was it again?..
>>730636951>with zero downsidesHe can use it a whopping three times before he runs out of metal, so he constantly needs to choose between deleting bombs or not having any of his shit up. Only time it's really bullshit is when it's a pompson/short/eureka engie doing the payload
>>730641803>zoomers>higher iq
>>730643082>spy raping my team doing spy things>switch to pyro >check around corners, check my teammates>kill him a lot>bitches in chat about me having no skillLove to see it
>>7306430052x range on a projectile that has no falloff, better self defense on a class that sorely needs it, and one of the best counters to wrangler is worth the price.
>>730636760I pick Soldier and poop on people with the Original.This is consistently the most effective strat for me as someone who started playing in 2008 and always mained Pyro, for whatever reasonSometimes if my team really needs the extra help, I'll pick Medic.If I do that, I only ever use the stock medigun or Kritz.If I find my soldiering isn't quite making things happen, I'll play a mostly stock Demo or Heavy.Otherwise, I'll slink back into a Degreaser Pyro with either the shotgun or the Detonator.
>>730637186I love managing to double donk scouts. It's insta death the moment it happens
>>730642321Play syringe gun medic, it has enough dps to reliably clean up spyshits in the backline even when they're kunai-fed
>>730643705The only problems a gunboats soldier can't deal with are a good scout or pocketed heavy on the enemy team. Fortunately good scouts are extremely rare and nobody likes playing heavy and even fewer are good at it.
>>730643858>Play syringe gun medicKill yourself nigger. Use crossbow or don't play the fucking class.
instead of adding new guns, they should have added new characters. it would allow them to trickle out more content.
>>730643887>The only problems a gunboats soldier can't deal with are a good scout or pocketed heavy on the enemy team.For sure. I would argue that you really don't need the Gunboats for most of those situations, either.I use the shogun most of the time and vastly prefer it to the gunboats.>nobody likes playing heavy and even fewer are good at it.This has shocked me at this point in my illustrious TF2 career.It took me all of this time to develop the gamesense necessary to be a good heavy, apparently, but it seems to pay off consistently.
>>730643934Nah, he's right.Crossbow is superior on paper, but in practice, anyone with good situational awareness and the wherewithal to hit the Q key consistently can clean up a lot better while using a syringe gun in pubs.
>>730643858I'd report you for being useless. If you're not using the crossbow, you're a faggot. A massive one. A massive useless faggot.
>>730643965>they should have added new characters.
All the new GUI shit makes TF2 not feel like home anymore. It's like a different game. It sucks that it's right there but I feel like I can't go home.

>>730644056Syringe gun is just a shittier smg. You are not killing anyone who knows how to use their A and D keys.
>>730644116I know how you feel.I still play the game at least once a month like I have for the past 18 years, but I still miss how the menu looked from 2007-2009.The ever-present party UI at the top left of the screen is like a kick in the teeth.There was never a point in time in the last near-20 years where I wasn't playing this game with randos, so it has always struck me as unnecessary.
>>730644116Wrong mod. It's this one. https://gamebanana.com/mods/506292
>>730644265Well, in pubs, that's a nonzero amount of people.And if I can toot my own horn, I even kill a lot of scouts who like to think they know what the fuck they're doing with the stock or even the blutsager.
