TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V6 - Year of the Guard Dog SURVEY IN OP - Games

All it does is rollback how good it was against groups (something Sniper has no business doing) in favor of actually skill-indexing the weapon. A full-charge headshot will deal 203 damage, enough to kill all classes but Heavy. Plus they get coated with Jarate. The Jarate recharge effect is mostly useless though, since you get more mileage out of good SMG aim for dealing with close threats if you play aggressively and playing passively you won't need multiple quick-succession Jarate throws to necessitate speeding up the recharge by a whole 1 second. The hit detection is weirder than normal headshots and there are some missing things like HS kill icons and associated strange part compatibility, but I imagine they're holding off until the balance settles before committing.

Apparently there's a new exploit where Scouts can doublejump indefinitely. I've seen at least four of them in the last twenty minutes.

The best part is that it's stupid easy to do.

I wish they gave the Matchmaking improvements a bit more attention. Not expecting a whole update page, but we didn't even get a witty blog post about how matchmaking was improved, just a standard, and honestly a little bit generic, post about how they released an update.

How do you do it?

At least when there are scouts not trying to steal my mad milk it is lol...

Holy crap the Alt Fire for Short Circuit is even better and autobalance is kinda back Im surprised by this great chunk of update, thanks TFteam!

The difference being the Corona was designed for and intended for the sniper, while the Hazmat was the result of a co-contributor abusing the item update system for kicks. it clips and looks bad. If they updated the sniper specific model to look nicer and more appropriate for him, sure, but as is it can just get trashed tbh.

Nice, time to spam sniper in ranked

Man, I'm saddened by the Sydney sleeper changes. All I wanted was one sniper rifle that rewards a lack of skill, is that too much to ask? I mean, the huntsman exists but it isn't really a sniper rifle persay...

say that to my face fucker not online see what happens

I wonder if they will ever make the Spycrab tradeable.

if you want to play something that rewards for lack of skill, play pyro :V

Thanks, I made this for you in return: https://i.imgur.com/KeiXOTc.jpg It is possible that they are just taking credit (possibly uninentionally) for the pins being removed from the jojo hat. We havent heard from the tf2 team, so we dont know why it was changed. I guess?

I'm really happy about this update. But Valve. Caber pls

Do we know how long is left on the jungle contract? I just sold a case and can afford it, is it worth it or nah

The cheaper one is for 2 classes though. It's also less .... elaborate(?) than the corona.

So now that the Sleeper minicrits on headshot, fully charged headshots deals 202.5 damage, enough to one shot 8/9 classes.

I guess its time to start using my pro ks sydney sleeper.

The Thermal Thruster had some unannounced changes, the extra knockback from enemies was increased from 30% to 50% and has a new attribute: "disable weapon hiding for animations".

What part of it do you want to be buffed?

In my opinion all caber really needed which was its major issue to me is shield charged crits, however I'm sure a handful of snipers cried about it too... Revert to old stats and give it the following: Damage reduced to 125 max. This allows for its original use to get rid of problematic classes like sniper, spy or even scout in one well-timed hit. Unable to be crit or minicritted. Shield charged crits were insanely stupid on pre-nerf caber. Swing speed reduced. At least punishes you for missing the hit, allowing for retaliation.

the real problem was demo surviving the blast, not its power. if you wanna commit to one shotting stuff that way then you should pay the price and die everytime too

Simple, make the enemy and demo recieve the same amount of damage, in this case the demo would recieve 130 and the enemy would recieve 130 on explosion.

What's going on with competitive mode? I'm almost 5 hours in a queue and i found 0 matches

I just found a game in like 10 seconds.

because competitive doesnt bring an audience and isnt an extremely vital and important part of tf2 I know its a shitpost but thats just civillian tier

IIRC the shield charge is actually broken on it. The caber can be crit boosted by the shield, but not minicrit boosted.

mvm gets no connections mid-game either so matchmaker is silly

good thing with the new queue system is that you can spend those hours looking for a comp game while playing a casual or community games.
