TF2 is one of the last bastions of online FPS that isn't a dumpster fire of competitive autism. I don't know why these niggers are so hellbent on making it "LE COMPETITIVE" when there's literally dozens of other games better fit for that kind of playstyle.

as we know, casual players of games never get fun weapons gutted or banned. Only the shadowy cabal of compfags, and certainly to such an extent that it's worth bitching about over ten years after it happened. Pyro does not exist in its bizarre state as a borderline non-functional gimmick class because of casual players being unable to tolerate the second most easily countered class in the entire game.

Anyone that still complains about how TF2 is/was ruined after Valve literally handed you the dev tools is crazy, you have it better than essentially every modern FPS.

for every comp player who's like "the airstrike is a problem" or w/e there are 15 quintillion players who want every skill gate shitter-stomper weapon that falls off at high level gutted and they tend to get what they want, not just in TF2 but in most games

>>
>>730675870
I feel like you're presuming too much about me and my knowledge of contemporary TF2. I remember the Backburner, just like I remember the pre-nerf Sandman. I stopped playing TF2 relatively early in its life, around the Mann-conomy update. I don't even know what the Air Strike is, really. I had to look up whether it was one word or two, lol.
I was just asking whether it was sarcasm or not because casual players DO get things nerfed, in any game. This is especially true in the content creation era of video games, where everything is streamed and turned into an easily digestible YouTube video.

In TF2's case you can run your own community servers with your own rulesets and nowadays you have dev tools so you can try to run mods (or servers on modded versions) that are more to your liking.
I do agree that casual shooters that occupy the exact same space as TF2 don't exist in the way they used to. Fortnite and Roblox both have server browsers but it's not so much the same thing from what I've seen, they're not polished purpose-built casual shooters, they're often treated more like game engines. I think it's dumb to treat that as the fault of "compfags" when more than anything else it's that the people paying for large budget titles see absolutely no value in the casual ecosystem that TF2 had, and even modern casual players sneer at having to use a browser compared to just pressing "play match" due to the raw convenience involved

Begging for comp when you don't play the format that already existed is just being a retard.

nta but I really don't see why i should primarily blame dane (who i do not particularly like for a lot of reasons) for what happened to matchmaking when the one with the power to actually change matchmaking once that happened was valve and they essentially got bored and left it to languish after mym
once or twice i've heard a narrative like "valve was SO SICK of the community thanks to the compfags that OF COURSE they moved on" but I don't really find that convincing at all and I don't think it excludes them of their responsibility to care for the game- eventually they put out the dev tools which from where I stand is the ultimate gesture of goodwill, but not fixing MYM is like 90% on valve if not higher

Pyro in general is nerfed to death. Afterburn is a joke now. There are a bunch of ways to get a bunch of kills as pyro stiff but afterburn very very rarely finishes the job.

Remember when spies were required to avoid enemy pyros like the plague lest they get themselves entirely fucked up? Now you can be actively burning a cloaked spy without spycicle, hearing the burning sound as you scorch them, and they can still extinguish and disappear in a fraction of a second.

If you're going around all over youtube/reddit/wherever else drumming up the bandwagon for something to happen, to the point of directly getting into the devs ear, and then when it does happen it's a complete disaster then you can't just throw your hands up like you had nothing to do with it.

there's a large portion of people who seem to believe that Valve was forced at gunpoint to put things in tf2 other players.
this of course ignores the facts that valve was never beholden to any group of tf2 players and treats valve as if they had no internal decision making, their own goals with updates and inability to fuck up anything they wanted to do.

so the blame, somehow, always gets shifted to other tf2 players instead of valve. Cry, scream, moan, but you'll keep buying hats off the market.

I had like 1k hours on engineer in like 2010 or 11 and got embarased and deleted my stats. The default pistol was used aggressively, as well as smacking bitches with wrenches with my insanely good movement skills. A good teleporter effectively reduces the team's respawn time by getting dead players to the front faster. But I stopped playing back then.

The only people still playing this game after 16 years do insane shit. Plus there are clearly aimhackers so idk why anyone would wanna play.

The idea that competitive was what killed caber and sandman is ridiculous. Both fucking sucked, Demo should not get the ability to oneshot light classes at melee range and punish you for attacking at the range where he is supposed to be weakest, and Sandman stun was utterly miserable and dominating. Yeah, a weapon whose defining feature is shutting down your enemy's ability to counterplay, great idea.

He CLEARLY didn't know the game he was playing if he didn't see the writing on the wall from the very beginning. Ironic, considering he touts himself as an authority.

TF2's core design is such an antithesis for what comp needs to even begin to work, and even entertaining the idea to try and mould it into esports is a fool's errand. Why do you fucking think such a small percentage of players care about comp? Because everyone fucking knows that comp is not fucking TF2.

You CAN NOT immediately dismiss the shitty website made by TF2 youtubers that have "a billion subscribers" but can't fill a 24 player server and spend all their time demanding Valve change matchmaking to force people to play on theirs.
Valve is lying about how many people are playing TF2 and you are NOT ALLOWED EVER TO THINK ABOUT ANY OF THE NUMEROUS THINGS LOGICALLY WRONG WITH WHAT WAS SAID

Literally didn't happen, you fucking retard. Someone who jumped to a medic can just fucking shoot the medic with pipes and he'll die. The function of the Caber that makes it cancerous has never been anything remotely close to this.
.
The problem with the caber is that you can instantly turn any close range interaction with a light class into an even trade. A scout can't punish you for overextending because, guess what, you can caber their ass. Demoman is supposed to be WEAK at close range unless they make the tradeoffs involved with the swords (slower unsheathing speed, giving up stickies, etc.). Caber gives you the damage of the swords with the ease of access of the bottles.

You know, it's like how L4D2 has a port to Source 2 but they won't release it because the community for that is fucking cancer and it would be logistically annoying to port all the shit to Source 2 like the shitty but funny Glubtastic maps, even if vscript is (mostly) forwards compatible.

Detonator is situational and at best you are just spamming it to maybe clip someone at range with a detonated shot.

Pyro needs a movement option that doesn't take away his secondary. Jetpack should just be part of his base kit and reworked to be usable in combat.

Flamethrower changes are pretty easy. I want stock flamethrower to have double the range but a much smaller cone and an arc so pyro doesn't have to get in facefucking distance to do damage but it takes skill having to aim and account for gravity. Dragon's fury is fine as is if they just remove the airblast penalty. Degreaser should be reverted so it's more consistent but is otherwise fine. Lastly I want an area denial flamethrower that does little direct damage but can cover the floor with fire. Phlog should have a new downside to ignore any buffs (ubercharges, banners, whip, etc) so they can't terrorize dustbowl and barnblitz anymore.

Airblast should be reverted to how it was before but without the airstrafe stun and push force scales by weight. You can send scouts and spies flying but heavy and soldier barely move. No more trolling heavies by spamming airblast around a corner or farming cheap kills by camping next to a cliff.

Axtinguisher can be fully reverted. I went back and played it a bunch on castaway and it's seriously overrated. Getting into melee range against decent players is suicidal 90% of the time crit or not.

Gas passer and Jarate's timers should be swapped. Scorch shot should be deleted from the game.
Pyro should not be able to remove sappers as long as the pyro/spy matchup is as one sided as it is.
Lastly the bugs with damage rampup and airblast needs to be fixed. Pyro minicritting himself reflecting rollers is fucking retarded.
