Is Spy really the worst class? I think I die to him way more than Pyro, Heavy, or Scout. An autistic Spy is one of the most annoying things to fight in the game besides pocket Medic and Sniper.
>>502797138Yes. Anything he can do, another class can do better>DM'ing behind enemy linesscout, soldier>destroying sentriesdemoman>picking off high priority targetssniperthe worst part is that they can all do it from relative safety, aren't at an immediate disadvantage when caught out at a bad time, and aren't completely countered by being more observant than a baked potato
Place stickybombs under healthpacks and then detonate them when an enemy tries to get them.

anything spy can do sniper does better.

spy also requires you actually using your brain and sniper just requires muscle memory In comparison to sniper, spy requires more intellect, skill, and situational awareness and he is STILL a much weaker class. Why would you play spy when sniper exists?

>>502810284there is one thing that spy is better at however, giving me a dopamine hit, nothing feels as good as chainstabs and fun is more valued than efficiency
>>502792040I hope so. I don't like hearing people say "TF2 doesn't need another major update" (it does).https://blog.tf2maps.net/a-chat-with-eric-at-valve-hq/>[Eric Smith] also mentioned that there were a number of fun things they'd like to do, but weren't necessarily actively being worked on. I think they do want to bring TF2 another major update but they don't have a big enough dev team
Hmmm, what shall I play as in this match? How about as second medic? With Kritzkrieg? Good idea!
The Heavy Paradox>Slow and oversized>Can't dodge anything, gets hit by all rockets, flares, etc>Easiest pipe target too>Further immobilizes himself just to shoot>Giant magnet for all the bullshit that happens in every match>Snipers and spies have a minimap exclusively for showing where the enemy heavy is at all times>Can't corner peek, gets shit on as a result by all the classes who can>Needs to be played by someone with a brain because his lack of mobility makes positioning so important>Yet the good players on your team are better on any other class that isn't designed to be a meatshield to get gibbed in frag videosYet the team without heavy always loses to the team that has one or two heavies? Where's the logic in this?
>>502825945>>Snipers and spies have a minimap exclusively for showing where the enemy heavy is at all timesWtf I don't have this in my game.

how the fuck is it possible that I google 'tf2 tr walkway laggy ramp' and not even a single matchnobody on the planet had this before me in 2024?
>>502830949Why are you playing on Minecraft servers and 24/7 hightower instant respawn no carts x100 in the first place?
>tf2's biggest fans missed the golden age and will be perpetual secondaries who started playing the game in the 2010smany such cases!
>>502833504>wtf even is that?Basically, you can use the Yeti Smash taunt right before the sticky/rocket jump to turn into a yeti for a split second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEsAacuZOkAIt has already evolved into another "new vs old" and "muh artstyle" shitfest. Pic related.
>>502835425Any recommendations on what servers to play? I've been playing Skial servers as they had many players when I was online

>>502836085this is why they long for an update so much (#FixTF2 or #UpdateTF2), most of them started playing after gun mettle and they never experienced a good update.also love and war was over 10 years ago already

>>502841691uhhh, zestysissies, our response???????
We should email valve about yeti cancelling being p2w and get valve to remove yeti cancelling
>Most Youtuber-Obsessed General AwardWhen did /tf2g/ reach the point of compulsively namedropping 2bers? Discussing them has always been a thing but I don't remember it being this bad before the pandemic
The continued existence of the Yeti Smash taunt is an insult to the carefully crafted aesthetic of Team Fortress 2. My spray depicting Asuka with big boobs and rippling muscles, and my objector depicting the same are NOT violations of the artstyle.
>>502845468Will you retards stop bitching about "ecelebs" in the threads? It's fucking retarded. Even if you dont like "x eceleb" its still related to tf2. If someone makes a counter strike thread, you retards wouldnt say the eceleb shit if someone starts talking about a pro player. same with dota or any other video game that has infamous player, so what makes tf2 different. you fucking idiots use that like some form of protection against criticism like you want to be above us? why? are you fags that big of a loser that you want to feel better for once in your life? Shut the fuck up and let people talk about their "ecelebs" do you really want to talk about the same dumb shit about why all game modes are bad and why any weapon you dont use is bad? for fucks sake you guys are the biggest retards. >i dont like x person online so no one can talk about themfuck off you pretentious sad pussies
>>502845880You spent a lot of effort on a troll post, idk what the point of that fake good-faith-argument shit is when the rest of this thread is right here
>>502845880based. although to play devil's advocate, any counter strike thread on this site is absolute dog shit because all they do is talk about pro players or spam the same webms accusing someone of being a cheater because they're shit at the game and jealous of their success.in order for me to retain interest in a game i need to be able to consistently talk about it on this site since i have no friends so i pretty much dropped cs because of it

that does make me wonder how do hardcore hl1 dm players feel about the balance changes
melee idea for demoman: a glass pitcher that when equipped with a shield lets you charge though walls like the kool-aid man
how do you get good at demoman? I mean besides just spamming pipes and stickies and the point. I can get a lot of kills like that but I actually want to be able to defend myself when a somewhat competent scout or soldier gets close to me

Every post here is genuine tho
>>502875087is it?
>>502875087some posts are a little strange
I saw this cool horror story based on empty servers of TF2. Wanted to share with you guys.Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyEL-_bIxQQPart 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA8xb-o8ezE
>>502870639Demo is a class that's very easy to have a large impact with in many situations on asymmetrical maps. The class starts to get harder when you're in a situation outside of chokepoint spam such as fighting a 1v1 or a long range engagement in the open. Huge parts of playing well in these situations are positioning, how well you strafe and how you use each shot.One of the most common things I see when fighting a 1v1 is someone will wall themselves on one side. It's natural to want to fire stickies directly at them, but it's often better to virtually wall them off on the other by placing stickies to the side of them, then shoot stickies or pipes directly at their player model. This isn't intuitive by any means and is only something that comes playing with time. You can do similar things in 1v1 situation in the open; place stickies on the ground to prevent your opponent from moving there, then use pipes to shoot him directly because his movement is restricted. The main thing to do is get a feel for aiming your stickies and sense for the arming delay.Positioning and strafing are another story and transfer to other classes, but Demo can make good use of them because of his decent movement speed and ability to fight at medium range compared to a class like Pyro who is faster but wants to fight closer. You generally want to use cover more than a Soldier and fight less directly. One common mistake you'll make when starting out is feeling the need to stickyjump in the way a Soldier does, but this isn't really the case. Because of the less forgiving projectiles you have compared to Rockets or Scattergun shots, you're better off to advance slowly on foot and use explosive jumping to retreat. In a nutshell, think of Demo as a cannon and Soldier as, fittingly, a soldier with a rocket launcher. A cannon cannot be easily moved but fires further and is more powerful, while a soldier is more mobile but less destructive.For strafing, jump less and stand still often.
>>502873220there is a non-zero chance that "aimer7" genuinely believed those opinions
>>502877561the fuck is this shit lmao
>>502878330nobody is reading your essays solarlight
>>502878330Demoman is still overpowered in 1v1 because the grenade launcher will destroy anything if you can actually aim.

>>502921339if it's a payload map you can just spam the cart with the scorch shot and knock them around and light multiple people on fire since they're all packed together to quickly charge your phlogyou will kill someone by spamming flares, you're not the only one on your team shooting at the other team, someone is bound to be low hp. you're also slowing down any rate of healing they're having applied to them by setting them on fire, and also forcing them to go heal instead of push your team. also, apparently you're not since you don't recognize the boon that payload is for phloggersagain, you're just making shit up to complain. pyros rarely if ever extinguish their team, snipers will never throw jarate at anything other than themselves to put out afterburn, they definitely literally never use the sydney sleeper for that because they A. don't even know that's a function and B. it barely works due to weird hitreg issues anyway, scouts have the same deal as snipers with never throwing milk on their team, dispensers are in the enemy back line so you've made them fuck off, heavies will only eat the sandwich or throw it at their med in the back line, and congrats you've made the spy useless for the next minute and a half.quit being a big baby. you bring this shit up every two months with the same exact complaints and it gets refuted with the same exact points. learn to flank and quit being a shitter
>>502921938>if it's a payload map you can just spam the cart with the scorch shot and knock them around and light multiple people on fire since they're all packed together to quickly charge your phlogand again, not actually kill anyonehaving to "charge up" a real weapon to THEN go in and be able to actually kill people just proves my point that pyro has to work harder than any other class, a real damage class can just go in and get kills without having to charge something up first>you will kill someone by spamming flares, you're not the only one on your team shooting at the other team, someone is bound to be low hp.the same argument can be applied to any other class that can spam and get lucky kills on low hp targets, it doesn't somehow make flare spam unique or special to pyro. you'd be way more effective as a demoman or soldier spamming at the cart than a pyro spamming flares>again, you're just making shit up to complain.I'm not making up anything, you started by raising an ultimatum that it's somehow impossible to counter a flare spamming pyro without a medic, pyro, or healthkit so I started listing every other possible way because valve keeps adding more ways to counter afterburn because of retards like you that think it's OP>quit being a big baby. you bring this shit up every two monthswhat the fuck? this is the first time I've bothered posting about this shit schizo and it's only because someone else said pyro wasn't the worst class and you started pressing me on itnewsflash: a lot of people correctly identify him as the worst class, it's not a unique opinion. real shitters are the ones that somehow think flares are oppressive

>>502963818>caring about compliments in a video gamethat's sad bro, maybe lift your irl appearance to a comparable standard
>>502963818Men shouldn't care about getting their appearance complimented (either IRL or in a videogame) because you are supposed to dress practically, i.e: function over form. Men's fashion should be subtle as to not elicit compliments in the first place. You should be wearing whatever helps you frag in TF2.
>>502964898My girlfriend calls me her handsome baby, so I'm set on irl compliments 508I didn't say I rely on my sexy loadouts to fish for compliments, but it's definitely a plus of having these sexy loadouts for my mains

I've been using a hack for the past week and spectating people with ESP turned on, it's incredible how many people just blatantly hack.
>>502825945A Heavy is a walking sentry and given how an engie can camp and get a killstreak so long as he moves once, a heavy is constantly moving, making an area suicidal to approach unless you have multiple members backing you. When a heavy is on offense then his life is much harder as the team is usually ready for a push, so a heavy with a medic is an invincible sentry if the player has good tracking.
>>502968508Dressing nicely is done for yourself, not to elicit compliments. In TF2, if you create a generically nice looking loadout, that means less than a loadout that's based on or a reference to something that you enjoy. Wearing a three piece suit IRL while fragging is impractical, but if you enjoy wearing that while fragging why does it matter?
>>502968508Is this why I frag better as pyro when wearing lingerie?

theres less than 700 people in the scene lmao. everyone saying its alive and well are coping hard.b4nny's lifetime winnings are like only 40k loool. is this the pinnacle of comp tf2??if you go to a lan youll see the same people and no new faces. "pugs" outside of na or eu have terminal brain cancer. south america and australia is the same 20 suicidal guys scrimming all day and pretending that 10k hours in tf2 was worth something. highlander "scrims" are the same 50 chronically online no lifes. all the other "comp veterans" only play mge or 24/7 hightower and perma have lft in their steam name lmao.theres a reason why most tf2 players are on casual. its because comp tf2 is a version of tf2 tailored for autists and egomaniac tryhards.tf2 is a casual game. always will has been and always will be. you cant force it to be something its not.(and dont play uncletopia. uncletopia is "casual" for competitive tryhards that are too scared to roster up because they dont want to be exposed for being a god awful player)
It's impossible to get people on a server to notice that someone is cheating unless the cheater is blatantly aimbotting as Sniper.
>>502986090only if they are good player, low hour players are useless for that
>>502985312Whether or not a game has an active competitive scene has nothing to do with it being casual oriented and everything to do with how much money is invested into it. TF2's competitive scene is dying off due to age and lack of investment. Meanwhile, you have active competitive scenes for Minecraft and fucking Pokemon Go. People literally seeing who can tap their phone faster. All because there's money in it.

>>502996168i feel like you'd run into the problem of you could be doing something better than idling around a corner to maybe get a callout on an enemyI would like to see examples of it being used in comp to get an edge though once in a blue moon their bans are well-researched
>>502996759it’s banned in comp (unlike most of their bans, this one is justified imo)knowing your opponent’s location while they don’t know yours is really good, especially for detonating stickytraps from around a corner
>>502996168there's nothing wrong with it from a tf2 perspective but it is a cheap trick and slightly unethical
>fan animations and stuff get 100k+ views>god forbid any of them play the game
>>502997534It is unironically the reason why a bunch of zoomer kids play the game now at all. It's just that proportionally, for every 1 kid that actually downloads the game there's like 100 that are content just watching someone else play games because that's their generation

>>503003601I had a friend like that growing up, he'd come over and I'd offer him to play a game with him and he'd always say he just wanted to watch me play it. Never understood it. Now there's a whole generation of kids like that that got used to watching let's plays or streams on Youtube and Twitch. I guess they either enjoy the parasocial thing more than the game itself or they've gotten so used to passively consooming content it's easier to sit there and watch someone play it than exert the effort to play it.
I just saw a pyro with a spider face and it isn't halloween. Why is that in the game?
How would you rank these 3 classes from top to bottom for the rarest main?Engi, Heavy, and Medic.
>>503008440engi is most commonmedic is a vocal minorityheavy is a very vocal minorityt. heavy "main"
>>503008440Medic > Heavy > EngieA lot of casual players gravitate to Medic because they can just press M1 and be credit to teamSame thing with Heavy, low skill and high reward, and you'll often see Heavy mains queuing together with their Medic main gfsEngie mains actually aren't all that common because it's a thankless job and requires a lot of micromanagement, but do see a spike when Uncle Dane uploads a new meme strat t. Engie main

Do you think Valve running this game as a zombie for the past few years is sustainable? It's basically frozen in time since 2018. You can't artificially extend the life by adding workshop bloat forever.Could an end of life, "forever" update even be possible like past dead Valve multiplayer games? (CS Source, Day of Defeat, TFC, etc.)
>>503019625If the bots stay gone, I would like it if the game stayed like this forever. Unfortunately most people probably would not and announcing any kind of finality would mean players trickling off, and the bad thing about some players leaving is that it causes a chain reaction/negative feedback loop of players noticing the game is losing players and jumping ship because of ideas about the game being "dead".Rather than workshop dumps, I think a more sustainable practice would be adding small, themed content packs at the same tri-yearly rate. There would be less bloat and the additions would be better, rather than just getting half a dozen Halloween maps dumped in your lap you would have time to attach to whatever 1 or 2 maps they theme the update around.I think this has the potential to be received better by the community if they present it nicely, but maybe some people really do think more is better.
>>503019625>Could an end of life, "forever" update even be possibleyes, but they refuse to do it>those 4-5 lines of server commands to make casual servers bearable>give minor buffs to overly-nerfed weapons>give minor nerfs to problem weapons

Would TF2's timeless artstyle be even more timeless if the devs had the foresight to make it with pixel graphics? Yeah yeah I know the "timeless artsyle" thing is a circlejerk now but this is aGenuine question. My friends and I were salivating over the Miami Element war paint the other day and one of them made an off-hand comment about how interesting it'd be to see a TF2 with pixel graphics and everything else identical and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the idea for the past 48 hours or so. What the fuck would it even look like? Has any game done 8-bit/16-bit etc in 3D in a way that looked really good?
>>503029495>TF2 with pixel graphics and everything else identical and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the idea for the past 48 hours or so. What the fuck would it even look like?What does this even mean? Just TF2 with a really shitty resolution so everything's pixelated oatmeal? Or do you mean like N64/PS1 graphics?There's also Gang Garrison 2, a 2D sidescroller pixelated TF2 demake
>>503029495>Would TF2's timeless artstyle be even more timeless if the devs had the foresight to make it with pixel graphics?No, pixelshit is a dime a dozen even back then and even if it was done well it wouldn't have been nearly as unique>What the fuck would it even look like?Google "Gang Garisson 2" newfag>Has any game done 8-bit/16-bit etc in 3D in a way that looked really good?If you mean voxels, 3D Dot Game Heroes did it, and Cube World
>salivating over the Miami Element war paintyum yum eat up the workshop workslop goy
>>503029835>>503029895I know about GG2. When I say TF2 with pixelated artstyle I mean that everything else, especially the gameplay, stays the same. Not PS1 graphics or voxel stuff. I don't think I'm articulating it all that well but in my imagination it's like if the visual style of the Miami Element skin got applied to the rest of the game so that pixels were more visible, I guess?>>503030021It looks neat man idk what to tell you.
>>503030380>I don't think I'm articulating it all that well but in my imagination it's like if the visual style of the Miami Element skin got applied to the rest of the game so that pixels were more visible, I guess?No, you aren't. You're either saying it's going to be pixel art ala Gang Garrison 2, voxels ala 3D Game Heroes, or just really low resolution so everything looks pixelated. There's no magic 3D pixels, those would be voxels or just low resolution
>>503029473Seriously what can they even put in heavy updateIt cant be mobility, the slow lumbering bruiser is too core to his design, he is not getting a jetpack or speedy boots or some shitNew weapons? All his melees are gimped by him being the slowest class in the game = irrelevant. All his secondaries are gimped by the need for sandvich being standard gear except when memeing = irrelevant. So maybe new primaries that aren't dogshit (Natasha) or built around a dogshit gimmick (Huo Long Heater)If I'm Valve I might be interested in increasing his survivability so he isnt completely reliant on a pocket med or having a secondary slot taken up by a mandatory meal item. But that runs the danger of turning him into an even more powerful noobstomper, something like 50% of the playerbase at any given moment is underage retards who run up to heavy and get shot deadYears ago I thought it would be a good idea to give heavy a way to MITIGATE damage preemptively instead of REACT to damage by eating sandvich, maybe with a helmet item to reduce headshot damage as an example, but now that Ive played the game more Ive come to realize that damage resistances are cancer to play against, whether it's vaxx medic or sniper cuck back shields
Add lunchbox slot
>>503031963Heavy has no alternate playstyles at all, every primary is just a slightly different minigun. Despite him being the Heavy Weapon(s) Guy he has no other options. I desperately want something like a LMG that doesn't need to be revved up or something like an AA cannon like they gave him in TF2C. Or give him some other weapon that makes using a shotgun more viable so "fat scout" is more than just a meme
Riot ShieldPrimary SlotReduces damage taken from the direction the player is facing by X percentStays equipped when using other weapons(like demoman's shields) so you can run around with a shotgun and LARP as an armored riot cop
>>503032402Fund it
>>503032256I think the issue is a lot of other stereotypical heavy weapons are already taken by other classes. Just think, off the top of your head, what the basic bitch Hollywood summer blockbuster movie's top "heavy weapons" are.>Grenade launcher>Rocket launcher>MinigunsI guess you could give Heavy some sort of autocannon? But that doesn't change his playstyle at all either, he's still walking around lugging a direct-fire weapon that (probably) slows him down to fire/rev up. It just fires less rapidly for more damage per bullet.
>>503029495>>503030380wtf are you talking about? closest thing i can think of is ace of spades
>>503032880Nobody has an LMG and I would picture it at least giving him an option for more mobility since it wouldn't need to be revved up and therefore wouldn't slow him down. Penalty would be less damage and a tighter cone. The AA cannon from TF2C also gives him a unique flak cannon with exploding bullets that allows him to counter jumping classes. Both would be interesting to have
>>503033504>tighter cone>penaltybait or retarded?
>>503032402Seems like it would be OP depending on how big the shield hitbox is and what the damage reduction numbers areBtw is it even possible to code in shit like directional hitbox-based damage blocking/reduction using this ancient engine? Can the game even tell which direction a sniper's shot comes from instead of simply whether it hits or not?
>>503033589Well it's not a true penalty per se but the default minigun having a wide spread allows you to hit multiple targets at once. That's by design and works well against large groups. I'm talking talking so tight you could only hit one target a time, more than the Tomislav. I guess the better word would've been trade off but it was easier to just write "and"
>>503031963>Seriously what can they even put in heavy updateunfuck a bunch of his weapons>steak no longer gives you a hidden dmg vulnerability when active>bear claws no longer make you take 30% more damageI don't know what moron thinks a heavy that's locked to melee and that's only as fast as a base demoman would be OP, but someone kick him in the nuts. there's no reason why these two weapons which were designed to be used together are so dogshit terrible when paired. you effectively have 150hp and are a giant target. it's like they thought, "hey demoknight starts with 150hp and is locked to melee, make the bear claws and steak exactly like that", forgetting the fact that demoknight has the massive potential to snowball, and also has a shield for added resistances and mobility>eviction noticeit's just GRU but toned down, what's the point. less hp drain, less dmg, less speed. the speed on hit is a weird dumb mechanic to pair with a weapon that's already draining your hp that you'd never pair in combat. revert it to its original state where it's just less dmg with a faster hitrate, the speed boost, and maybe give it bleed for a gimmicky hit and run playstyle>huo longmake the fire AoE a cylinder instead of a flat plane so spies can't jump over it, and make it more transparent so you can look down off a ledge and not be blinded by it. maybe make the doubled ammo cost only happen while firing instead of just revvedas for new weapons, give him an LMG that doesn't slow him down when firing but maybe still needs to spin up. something like a cartoon-y lewis gun with holes bored in the heatshield. have the magazine on top spin as a visual indicator when it's ready to fire like how the minigun barrels spin up. have the dps be somewhere between the tomislav and sniper's smg. give it slower holster and draw speed since the heavy isn't carrying it underslung. now you can kinda have the fatscout playstyle but also have a lunchbox item
>>503034198>Btw is it even possible to code in shit like directional hitbox-based damage blocking/reduction using this ancient engine?mvm medic shield, but heavy shouldn't have a riot shield full stop. we don't need reinhardt or tanks, this isn't overwatch
Wtf is a reinhardt
>>503035775>TF2 already has Medic with a directional shield in MvM>But if Heavy gets something merely similar it's muh Overwatch?
>>503036572one is for PvE content where balance not only doesn't matter, but is also drastically differentone would be for PvP where it doesdon't be an obstinate retard
>>503036706So the actual issue isn't passing similarity to another vidya but balance concerns, because you decided it would be OP already?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYBZrRCCrXE
>>503036914i used to want to make a ness bat smash compilation to this
>>503036792no because everyone with more than two braincells to rub together for warmth determined for years and years and years that it would be either be OP, not fun to use or fight against, or poorly balanced. go watch any of a dozen video essays explaining why riot shields in games are nightmares to balance and not fun to engage with. it's like the inverse of the problems with sniper>can't see sniper>dievs>can plainly see the heavy with shield>can't kill himyou want to be a tanky lil faggot with heavy, use the FoS, there's your riot shield
>>503038345>Heh, unlike you simpletons I've already watched 900 hours of Heavy Riot Shield videos by esteemed TF2bers and participated in Heavy Riot Shield discourse for yearsYeah alright. Hypothetically if he got a riot shield and it was too strong and you couldn't kill him why can't you just lower the damage reduction a bit until it's reasonable? And why are you so buttmad over this?
>>503038838nobody's mad. this idea has been floated by noobs for a decade and it's tiresome every time because they never think about the implications of it beyond>what if big man have shieldit's a bad idea, it's never being added, and it's not worth discussing why for the Nth time. the resources are out there, go educate yourself
>>502893769You need help freak

it's the only thing you people understand and it demonstrates the point
fuck this jump is hard to make, i've only done it like 8 times in the past 30 minutes of trying
>>503038345>"nyyooooo shut up shut up dont discuss this ive already made my mind up so you better not talk about it"holy nigger
>Heavy gets a helmet that blocks all headshotsThere, I have fixed heavy
>>503040120talk about it if you want but nobody will be discussing it with you because it's been done to death and the answer is obvious
>>503035775>>503034198>>503032402Why are you having such a long argument about such bullshit?Stupid ideas like this get made every fuckign day here and this one gets a fucking thesis about it
>>503040620The actual long posts were about a heavy update in general though
>>503040721Just watch a big joey video or something
>>503039912I finally got it bros. Did it 10 times in a row without fucking up. On to more challenging jump maps.
I actually like the shield idea in theory>Heavy needs at least one(1) alternate playstyle that isn't slowing himself down to shoot a high DPS primary>Heavy melee weapons fall flat because he's so slow he can't close distances>But giving Heavy a way to close distances rapidly would fuck his identity as an immobile juggernautHe needs survivability to get close and enable using his secondary or god forbid his melee
>>503041192I think the issue is a hypothetical riot shield would need to be strong enough to be worth trading away his minigun, and if it's that powerful then it could very well edge into overpowered territory.
I dont get why it's so important that a Heavy Update[TM] not give him mobility options. Pyro was never intended to be able to fly either but he got a jetpack during JI
>>503040494>>503040620>>503040951>How DARE you talk about TF2 on the TF2 general instead of spamming the same tf2uber namedrop circlejerks, why don't you just go watch a tf2be-.....Hold on a second....
>>503041692How come you mispellt tf2ber twice
>>503041497pyro was already one of the faster classes in the game and doesnt have "big fat fuck" as the basis of his visual design
>>503041842There's nothing wrong with spelling it TF2tuber.
The correct terminology is TEAM FORTRESS 2 YouTuber
it's like you people keep forgetting the FoS exist because you don't play the game
>>503042194Are you ESL?
>>503042194>FoS exists>Doesnt change anything about heavy's playstyle, just lets you cross sniper sightlines situationally>People talk about a shield replacing primary so a hypothetical heavy update can benefit from more options in secondary and tertiary that change up his playstyle
Imagine being so buckbroken that when /tf2g/ talks about tf2 for once all you can do is bitch and whine and piss yourself on the sidelines, presenting your crusty asshole to beg for (you)s. what are the odds its the demofloyd vs fempyro shitstirrer?
>>503035643Even if you unfuck his edibles they'll still all get outshone by the reliability of sandvichEven if you unfuck his melees they'll still be worthless because he can't chase anyone
20No we don't have that in common pablo14FoS let you do the same thing the shield would in practice, and they aren't considered a different playstyle
>>503042919>what are the odds its the demofloyd vs fempyro shitstirrer?considering he posted 259 in the middle of it, very likely
>>503043284>FoS let you do the same thing the shield would in practice, and they aren't considered a different playstyleFOS needs to be held to be active meaning while benefitting from the FOS damage reduce you can't do anything else, I'm fairly certain the purpose of the shield idea is it's like demo's shield without the charge ability, it stays active so a heavy can make better use of his secondary or just punch a bitch to death
>>503043617>FOS needs to be held to be active meaning while benefitting from the FOS damage reduce you can't do anything else, I'm fairly certain the purpose of the shield idea is it's like demo's shield without the charge ability, it stays active so a heavy can make better use of his secondary or just punch a bitch to deathYeah that's the idea, if you've ever played Risk of Rain it's EnforcerIt would give you a reason to actually use shotguns
>>503043617>it stays active so a heavy can make better use of his secondarysince we're all dreaming, it would enable more variety of secondaries to get added in a heavy update too in 2027
>>503043716NTA but I think there's plenty enough reason to use shotgun already. Not even for the retarded Uncle Dane memes, I just like it.
>>503043228But that's not true, because they each have their niche. I barely see anyone use the sandvich anymore because the banana outclasses it. It's 200hp healed vs 300, but it regens faster. Realistically you should be getting away with around 100hp or so, so the extra hp the sandvich heals is getting wasted. The only thing the sandvich has over it is healing your medic a little more, but if he's competent he only needs the small hp the banana provides to put out afterburn or something. I guess you could also argue that you can convert small hp kits into medium ones, but nobody plays it that way, or that you can tank damage with the sandvich while healing that the banana won't let you, but that's just bad positioning on your part. Being able to heal 2/3 of your hp 3x faster than the sandvich is an obvious upgrade.The chocolate bar has a niche use in that it lets you survive the 3 pipes it would take for a demo to kill you, or two quickscopes, or a fully charged headshot while spun up with the brass beast I think? Definitely useful on payload.Steak is weird in that you can use it with the firsts of steel to basically have GRU that don't drain your hp, but you can't put them away on demand. The dmg vulnerability + resistance kinda cancel each other out to where you're back to having effectively 300hp.All that being said, you still primarily see banana and sandvich diehards.
284Sorry chuddy the adults are talking, you can go back to whichever your regularly scheduled circlejerks are later
>>503044283there is no strange variant for banana so i eat sandwiches instead :)
>>503044078Agreed. Making FoS heavies that can now shoot is just gonna be annoying, and if the shield stacks with the dmg resistance of the FoS then that's even worse. There's a reason it's agreed upon to be a bad idea
>>503044283I'm still upset Dalokohs' max HP increase doesn't interact with Medic's overheal cap at all. God forbid a Sniper can't instakill from ten kilometers away.
>>503043228>Even if you unfuck his melees they'll still be worthless because he can't chase anyonegood thing they're all utility focused then instead of combat focused. the bear claws are such a tragedy, I only run them because they can let me 1-shot demoknights with random crits
>>503044463I mean I'm not against a shield, if anything it's trivially easy to prevent something as simple as directional damage resistance from becoming overtuned. All you'd need to do is dick around with the numbers. As long as he doesn't get some gay shield stance ability, he'll still be a fat immobile retard who also now only has a shotgun.
>>503044565Combine it with the fos. Choco plus fos lets you survive a fully charged machina headshot
>>503044832If it's so trivially easy, then why has nobody gotten it right?
>>503044964Because there's no shield for heavy?
>>503042919The most vulnerable anyone can be in the nu-internet is to express genuine interest in something, even in spaces supposedly for those interested in things. The self-depreciating humor of yesteryear has come home to roost in the form of terminal irony poisoning corrupting every interaction.
>>503044832you can kind of estimate the numbers already, by taking lessons from wranglerfor example>shield gives 50% damage reduction from the front = heavy has 450 effective hp from the front AKA a full overheal AKA still dies to a headshot
>>503044840what if they just want to get close to 500
>>503039259I'm not that guy in your pic but I likely bought it off of him or the guy he sold it to?
>>503044565You should know by now that class only exists to bait noobs who watched Meet The Medic into providing a food source for spy and sniper mains

>>503045415then call yourself 499
>>503041041I like your consistency
i’ll let you add a riot shield for heavy if you can name one game where riot shields are fun
>>503049413Risk of Rain
>>503049413Splatoon when the lag doesn't stop them from working
>>503049553>>503049636how do the shields work there, like their stats
>>503049716In Risk of Rain it blocks all damage from the side you hold it on, but you're totally vulnerable from all other angles (including above) and you attack faster with your shotgun while it's upI wouldn't expect it to make Heavy totally invulnerable though that would be dumb, but the counterplay of "attack from the other angles" would be the sameI assume the guy who mentioned Splatoon was talking about the Brellas which are similar in concept by blocking damage from the angle you hold them but they also take 50% of the damage dealt to it and easily break when enough damage is dealt (some specials punch through the shield entirely)Combine the two and you could have a shield that breaks easily when enough damage is taken, lets Heavy fire his shotgun faster (or something), but is vulnerable from all other angles
>>503049716In Splatoon there are four types, although I haven't played since they added the fourth. https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/BrellaCharacters have 100hp, and while the types listed have different HP values, different weapons have different damage multipliers against them. As a gun, they're shotguns with damage output and attack intervals proportional to how "heavy" they are. On 3 of them, the shield is launched after a short delay after deploying it, and moves forward at a slow pace. You can position inside the shield's hitbox to avoid incoming damage, at great risk of dying to a well placed bomb, which detonates immediately on impact with the shield, depending on how the hitboxes line up and the awful peer-to-peer netcode.tl;drSplat is the equivilent of TF2's stock and is all round with medium damage output and durability.Tenta is like the brass beast. It can one shot at a sweet spot distance and is slow to both fire and deploy the shield which has very high HP.Undercover fires low damage shots at a fast rate and a low shield durability. Unlike the others, it fires while the shield is deployed but cannot launch its shield.Recycled is like Splat, except it trades durability for damage output, accuracy and faster regeneration.I don't think riot shields fit into TF2. I just wanted to share that I think they're well designed in that game.
So...you guys think we're getting the Heavy Update this Smissmass? That would be great...

Consume the Fent (commonly abbreviated as CTF) is a game mode which features both RED and BLU teams with their own Unintelligence briefcase (known as the Fent). The goal for both teams is to consume their enemy's fentelligence continuously until they have reached the game's counterfeit limit (default limit is 19) whilst preventing their enemy from achieving the same. If no team completes the counterfeit limit before time runs out, the match enter Sudden Breath mode (unless either Fentelligence has been taken and is still in play, in which case Overdose occurs until both teams' Fentelligence are secured again).
>>503070674Do you get a speed boost while carrying the fent?

>>503070814To consume the enemy team's fent, damage must be dealt by the carrier of the Unintelligence briefcase, similar to a Soldier banner.The consuming team gains a point upon full consumption of the fent.Effects on the carrier are as follows:Bleeds 6 hp / tickGains speed boost that increases the longer it is carriedImmune to all crits, however melee hits inflicted on the carrier will mark the player for death.Dropping the fentanyl causes instant death.Healing the carrier drains the fent-o-meter
