i like the idea of pyro being an anti medic/healer.
...yet they have never touched Sniper's "insta-kill all classes at any range" mechanic.
you have to admit sniper's ability to headshot at pointblank range through not really aiming but memorizing the precise way to angle their cross-hair is kinda bullshit
Every class with a gun can technically be an anti medic.
yeah, imagine giving that to a spy.
fucking hell
give every class the ability to disguise like the spy
would make the entire game one big mindfuck
tbh sniper rifle had no crosshair for a couple years after release and it certainly was a deliberate decision. so many things that were thorougly designed in ancient times are long gone for no valid reasons other than make idiots happy.
to be fair, the lack of crosshair doesn't matter at all if more experienced players can just install a custom hud to put it back
it would just be a nerf to new players who aren't hitting point-blank headshots in the first place, without addressing the actual problem
remove random crits and headshots
problem solved.
i'm sure almighty valve can go mess around in their own engine to hardcode tf_weapon_rifle_sniper to never display a crosshair no matter the situation or content.
okay I agree as much as anybody that sniper has some issues with locking down areas and having an unfathomably high skill ceiling but
What exactly is the difference between aiming and angling one's crosshair? How does one go about getting a headshot without angling their crosshair? This is like complaining that scouts aren't really dodging, they're just pressing their strafe keys.
they can't hard-code away players just putting a post-it on their monitor where the crosshair's supposed to be
Removing the reticle is a terrible idea, it wouldn't do anything to get rid of the thousands of hours of muscle memory that top level snipers have, it's easily worked-around, all it would do is absolutely shit on new players for whom the class would now be utterly unusable. It's taking a skill curve like this

my favorite thing to do is go to valve servers under a dumb name and do something I wouldn't normally bother with
I started sneaking around the map under the name "doorframe gremlin" climbing into doorframe props that I could stand on, usually just out of sight that nobody thinks to check them

i was using a salmon-painted vox diabolus/googly gazer and brainiac hairpiece because that was one of the earliest loadouts I remember seeing when i was new to tf2 and realized i never had used that combination before
that's the only counter argument i've ever heard on the matter, and does anyone really does this? it seems like a console player thing for games like Destiny.

I have played this map so much and I am racking my brain trying to remember where there is a kitchen in Snakewater.
The kitchen is the side room at mid.
Callouts usually refer to landmarks or design quirks. For example the side route on process is Sewer because it was more like a pipe in older versions, and the underpass on Upward 3rd is Shithouse because it fucking sucks dont go there.
you know they admitted in the past that they know shit like this gets detected by players
but at this point I dont even know anymore
Yeah, it ended when it was supposed to, in January 7th.
Valve is preparing to automate game updates for its life support phase.
Intriguing...they're up to something.
does this mean we can finally have a new dueling season
At least automated updates could mean we could peroodically expect something
