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

Aloha Snackbar!

The game should encourage players to practice and naturally ascend in skill rather than rely on weapons that reward poor playstyles and enable them to remain stuck in a womb-like quagmire. You don't get any better like that.

Hot tip to all pyro mains, you can now do this: https://i.gyazo.com/b14098b9711dda39695d6a072ff6172f.gif

You can now see the match HUD when viewing demos, suppose it's useful when watching demos of comp games.

I have a strange pro ks grenade launcher. I was thinking of selling it, but its team shine and flames. So i'm wondering if I should keep it or not. Rate Bad reading to keep it, and bad writing to sell it.

what if the heavy isn't AFK tho

I noticed menus gets shown in demos too: i was watching the demo of a match i played a few hours ago and at the exact moment i opened the menu to check my backpack the same happened automatically while watching the demo. Has it always been like this? Shouldn't the heavy be extinguished after the first shot?

There are lots of poor design choices, like Soldier gaining an increased projectile speed rocket launcher when the Direct Hit exists, or Sniper Holy shit, you can play in itemtest now? This update was huge for Pyro mains, I thought before it they were all banned from going on itemtest.

The scorch shot bounces off the heavy and after being extinguished is reignited by the bounced scorch shot. Allowing for a double hit which is enough to kill a heavy.

You probably should clarify that when posting it next time. Even so, it's not a terrifically useful quirk.

yeah but pressing any movement key at all will dodge the second pellet. heavy's showdown is a possibility too but it'll never work on non-braindead people

The scout exploit is funny, but It's so innocent since you can't attack lmao.

the baby emote makes me hear heavy's voice saying baby! inside my head

Just tested the exploit more. Works with cleaver, milks, drinkables.

What if they released it thanks to your rant?

What's that?

Dude, by your logic Araki would literally have to go to prison because of the amount of the "copyright infringement" he has in his series.

Ah, come one, people are going to bodyshot either way. They might as well bodyshot while helping out their team by applying jarate rather then just using the machina. Well, whatever. If sniper won't reward my poor play style then I'll just play one of the 5 or 6 other characters that do!

This whole glicko matchmaking in casual thing seems questionable at best. Casual is supposed to be a mix of player skill levels, so that newer players can grow up, learn what not to do, and see how things are done correctly. Now all this does is drain the skilled players into competitive-lite at the higher ends, and make that unskilled quagmire the norm for people's first TF2 experience. Of course, valve was thinking most of the players are in the middle of the bell curve. That was their first mistake, as turnover rates and no real tutorial mean most are unilaterally terrible. Oh yeah. That, and the sheer number of random crits in a pub are now a deciding factor that influences match outcomes, your personal performance (which in casual can be out of your control already due to bad team comp, etc.), and therefore your rank, that determines how much fun your matches are. Fucking great.

I'm pretty sure I've been in this comp queue for an hour now...

You still can play with bodyshots only. It's just no longer obnoxiously strong for the skill put in. And you have an avenue to reward more skillful play which will help train better aim and also doesn't make sleeper awful once a real sniper is shooting at them

Comp matchmaking is still broken.

It still irritates me the only way we learn of the team's mind is through chatlogs. If competitive queue is 'iffy and needs investigation', that information should be more reachable than coming to facepunch forum. There are players who will never touch it again because the queue was bad day one and they just assume it's supposed to be like that.

If only they had a twitter account, or an in-game news section to relay that sort of information to players.

wait, where is the relevant chatlog here?

I haven't played csgo since release but this new matchmaking is a whole new level of shit.

I posted it late last night: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZbkpUhVQAAHZA_.jpg:large

wow, this has been going on since last night? did they just...not plan for the idea that people might want to play their new comp rework?

HOLY CRAP I'VE BEEN PLAYING HEARTS OF IRON 4 FOR THE LAST MONTH AND HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT LADS THEY EVEN SHOUTED SKETCHEK OUT HOLY CRAP
