Is this really the theoretical best team in tf2? Looks miserable and boring to play.
>>741684747Competitive sux. Vanilla is always king
No snipers? Hard to see how you can 'theoretically' be better than unlimited-range insta-kills
>>741684747for 5cp, yes. It is boring because all comp tf2 has to offer is 5cp. This lineup in payload is dogshit but for some reason people just don't run comp payload.
>>741684747>competitive min-maxing metathis no fun allowed shit is what killed tf2
>>741684747You're missing the pyro, the sniper and the spy
>>741684747Scout is fucking useless
>>7416847474 high mobility classes to constantly be able to flank or chase people out of position, demo for suppressing fire or locking areas off, medic to keep everyone in the fight and go invincible, yeah. Engineer/Heavy and sometimes Pyro see use when defending last, Sniper/Spy for random high value picks when someone feels like it>>741684916They play KOTH too. Payload would suck in 6s because there's too few people, not enough balance between pushing cart and fighting. Highlander uses Payload and KOTH as their main modes instead of 5CP. Kinda wish Gravelpit would come back but almost all of the maps are the community added ones that became official + modded versions of like Granary
>>741684747Sometimes having a sniper is better than having two Scouts. If your team is in a pinch and needs to defend, Heavy, Pyro, or Engineer can help more
>>741684747roaming soldier is the most fun you can have in videogamesor at least it was 10 years ago...
>I think this format is shit even though I know absolutely nothing about it and have never played it
>>741684747I wouldn't know cuz I've never played anything outside of large max player size community servers
>>741684747>kritzkriegone single engineer with a lvl 3 sentry and all of them are useless
>>741684747Nope. People forget that 6s is a highly curated format with class limits and weapon bans that basically forces this to be the meta.If you want TF2's true meta in a 6v6 format, I guarantee you two medics (one vaccinator, one flex, likely default to quick fix) would be it. I could see a full time heavy being meta as well, with a Soldier with the whip to enable him, then two flex spots that would be map/role dependent.
>>741684747Yes it is...for a specific gamemode (2)...for a specific set of maps...with a restricted team size...with most of the weapons restricted...with a number of game rules changedPeople who like this format subconsciously would rather be playing quake tdm but enforce that design on TF2
>>741684747Comp fags are absolute trannies the worst part is that the faggots on here they deny it I argued with one of them. They blame everyone else aka people who screw around in TF2. When the average super try hard wasted their McDonald's paycheck on shitty obnoxious hats and pink/paint cosmetics with Lillian(she/them) as their steam name. You people are seriously miserable fucks if you cry about t posing heavy or engineer doing the rancho relaxo lmao.
Highlanders seems much more fun and closer to how the actual game plays out, but finding 8 schmucks willing to play the classes you're missing must be miserable
>>741686693it's 2 meds, a sniper, a demo, a heavy, with engie on defense and a soldier on offense. it's as dogshit as it sounds which is why no one plays it. stock 6s is the best balance of variety, complexity, and actually being fun to play.
>>741686964>Highlanders seems much more fun and closer to how the actual game plays outonly niggas who say this have never played highlander in any serious capacity. every class other than demo, sniper, and medic do not get to have fun. you're expected to either barely move from one spot, be the cart bitch, or go for suicide plays over and over.
>>741684747>three (3) classes have both godtier movement and godtier DPSwhat were they thinking
>>741687274They were thinking it was okay because Gunboats didn't exist so Soldiers and Demos could do like two jumps before needing a health pack, and Scouts have 125 HP
Why isn't comp tf2 just double class highlander? 18 vs 18 is now possible
>>741684747No, more medics and demos would be optimal, but the 6v6 ruleset has a class limit of 1 for those guys cuz otherwise it would be lame with less class representation>>741686720What are you talking about
>>741684747It's actually minmaxxed to ensure smooth gameplay flow and watchability, and not performance.
>>741684747>Looks miserable and boring to playfor the mass majority who play the game due to having low test counts, a field of game experience that's only within small circles of inexperienced people and not having the fixated interest that compfags do; what's funny is that the compfag, iron for example, sweeps the floor in any sort of pub setting because the average individual who plays this game is collectively dogshit.The biggest irony is that if quickplay ever got reestablished, the amount of compfags appearing on those servers would cause a deal of whiplash never seen before because currently casual keeps most people on community ended servers or areas due to how utterly dogshit its experience is.The mass majority of people who make, post, or engage in these threads have less 5 to 8k hours in game thinking they're hot shit for larping as oldfags, whilst showcasing on average the absolute most boring and shit tier gameplay possible for every WEBM that's gotten posted.Funniest thing is that these threads are made up of niggerish emporiumfags, /vg/lets who're lobotomites and would be put to shame by the average /mlp/fag and literal redditors; ask the average faggot in this thread for something on how to do rollouts, what the specifics are on things like wall/jump/edgebugs or why ctapping causes your rocket jumps to make you go higher and you'll usually end up with nothing.Casuals are subhumans, compfags are loud whiny faggots and the average person who engages in tf2 threads on /v/ are usually without any of value to provide that's merely been repeated better by someone a decade ago.
>>741685147Scout is the strongest combat class in sixes.>>741686720Comp derangement syndrome.>>741692647Mental illness.
>>741684747Theoretical best team is>Heavy>Heavy>Heavy>Heavy>Medic>Engineer. Push the cart, win the game.
>>741684747>Competitive TF2>Implements class restrictions>Not even every class has same number of slots, so you have cases like only having 1 Heavy possible>In addition, there are also weapon bans (all except for Demoman)>Instead of JUST the most egregiously OP shit like the Vaccinator, FoS, or Short Circuit, it’s basically anything that could be considered slightly cheesy even if its dogshit or super niche or have a glitch associated with them>Shit like the fucking Base Jumper and Gas Passer are banned>And of course everything besides Teleporters that can make Heavy faster>Also play on 5cp exclusively so that Engineers need to constantly run around with teleporters and buildingsNo lolAn actual hypothetical “best” team composition for 6 players would be 4 Heavies, 1 Engineer, and 1 Medic.
>>741689153because finding 36 people who are all willing to lock themselves into a specific class would be a nightmare, logistically
>>741684747the theoretical best team is 3 demomen, 3 medics. both of these are class limited to 1 max for a reason (compfags don't know how to deal with it)
>>741686964>/v/ talking about shit they don't know anything aboutHighlander is actually boring as fuck because it's all a bunch of nothing_ever_happens.jpg for 10 minutes at a time, both teams are just wiggling around a choke, until the sniper or spy gets a lucky pick and allows everyone else to push in without getting instantly murdered. Repeat in the next choke. Honestly the only thing Highlander does is advertise 6s as a game mode by demonstrating why all it's extra rules exist./V/ FUCKING SUCKS AT TEAM FORTRESS 2. YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS AND YOU STILL DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY.
>>741693350>>741694387>>>Stacking heavies and nothing else but a pocket medic is the strongest team No wonder /v/ seethes at sniper so much, they're braindead heavy "mains" who are mad the Australian man stops them from being an automatic I-win button
The actual best 6s comp would probably be something like 2demos1medic1heavy1scout1sniper>Demos shit out damage and can bomb into the enemy team>Medic is heals and ubers>Heavy is anti-air to stop bombing demos>Sniper picks off the heavy>Scout is for picks and capsThe scout and sniper would probably offclass as needed, ie switching to engine or pyro on last. I haven't thought too hard about it.
>>741695827Dicking around a chokepoint for minutes at a time is fun though
>>741695827>/V/ FUCKING SUCKS AT TEAM FORTRESS 2. YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS AND YOU STILL DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY.>implying "/v/"(/vg/)'s tf2 playerbase isn't filled with underaged newniggers and sub 4k hour retards who just stick to dogshit small and choke heavy maps
>>741693350Gets obliterated by one kritz demo>>741696396>2 demos2 meds actually.Demo's value goes down with a second med running vacc 24/7. You can always push through sticky spam and sticky traps are less valuable. With no class limits or weapon bans vVaccinator is hands down the most broken weapon in the game and it's not even close. Its only downside is negated by a second med running a different medigun.
>>741697907With the sniper in play you can just headshot a vaxx medic with no fear of a preemptive Uber, he has to either switch to bullet/crit resistance and open himself up to a demo push, or get wasted by the sniper.
>>741698062Both teams are running sniper full time and you better believe he's getting vacc tanked so it's not that simple.
>>7416959741 Sniper can’t take on 4 overhealed HeavyEven if you corrdinated 4 Snipers to all charge headshot the heavies, the Snipers have 125 HP each and get instantly shredded by the sentry.
