If you can, send some reports his way in order to keep steam safe. 👍
promo items doesn't count tho. Promo items's goal is to match the reference material within universe, where stuff like invasion update was designed to look like items what existed in the tf2 universe, at the first one achieves that by the using some stylish choices that are part of TF2's art direction, such as brush strokes and certain color choices.
wich is why shit like lime and pink make anything look alien as fuck no matter what item it is being used on. same with white and black.
DH is terrible for choke point spam. the #1 variable for choke point spam efficiency is splash radius. Which DH has near none.
Direct hit is absolutely great at spamming down chokes what are you on. I do that shit all the time, it's really dumb. I play on really tryhard servers btw so you can't chalk that down to just bad players.
Oh I remember this guy, he added me couple of months ago and he tried to do it again two weeks ago
Isn't the whole point of chokes is to make it risky due to how easy it is to hit players in a one-way tight corridor...
Wouldn't that be like..A strength of DH's?
All rocket launchers are made for choke spam. DH is worse than RL because RL does the exact same thing to chokes but with more splash damage. DH makes damaging singular targets easier, but multiple targets way worse.
Direct Hit needs altering because it completely trashes Heavy and Sentry Guns when Soldier is ALREADY good at dealing with both of those.
Soldier is garbage at dealing with both of those lol, heavy with a medic wins every war of attrition against soldier and any engineer with a brain wouldn't let his sentry get taken down by a soldier with normal rockets, even with an uber it's not very great.
all of its lameness could be solved by simply removing the speed bonus.
of course it could get a little something new in exchange.
Do we have anything on when the next update might hit? Like... anything? Whats the general consensus. Early summer? Late summer? Never?
Soon™
We know 2 things:
They are working on a new custom gamemode OR are working on asteroid again given the strings added suggesting testing a "limited time gamemode"
They will likely continue adjusting competitive
Yeah, that's about it. Who knows if they'll skip summer again, who knows if they'll push out an MJ next week. Personally keeping my hopes decently up for July.
stock soldier loses 99 times out of 100 to heavy. stock soldier struggles to kill a good level 3 turtle alone. DH gives him a way to combat these flaws while fairly trading off an extremely powerful upside (blast radius). Let me say it again because of how many people don't understand it: If you are getting stomped, ADAPT. Stop complaining that you can't do the same thing over and over and brute force a solution to every fight.
Not really a fair argument to bring a medic into it, since now it's a 2v1.
Soldier only loses to Heavy in open fields, otherwise Soldier can cheese Heavy with corner strafing if there's even a mote of cover.
what if im the one shitting all over people with DH
am i not allowed to criticize it then?
Almost as if the game doesn't exist in a vacuum, and heavys usually operate with medics.
And yet, you try and argue in a way that implies it is in a vaccuum.
hmmmm :thinking:
If I beat up a bunch of 5th graders with a water bottle should I complain that it's a dangerous object? Doing good with the DH doesn't mean it's unfair, it means you're fighting people who don't know how to counter it.
So there is this new Summer event thing for Steam and it has a challenge telling you to play the first game you owned on steam
I was suprised that it wasn't Blue Shift

I wish this post was pinned
kind of hard for people to bait prediction when my rocket moves at 6x their speed lmao. if they try to abuse ADAD then you stop leading and just shoot where they are.
terrible people resort to it when they get their ass handed by a sentry, good people dominate anyone that doesn't feel like dancing in place like a clown. It turns the art of airshots into ridicule.
DH is nowhere game breaking or too problematic but it's definitely a dick move when everyone reaches the same skill level in a server.
With powerful tools at engineers disposal like the rescue ranger and wrangler, I honestly feel the direct hit is relatively fair against them in that regard. I've been in times where because of those two items I wasn't able to deal enough damage fast enough before an engineer would either heal it or move it with stock rocket launcher. Even with their nerfs over time, I still feel the Direct hit being better at quickly taking out sentries and buildings is sort of a must.
Also, when it comes to paints, if it hasn't been mentioned above. I would love to see options to have it that you can paint an item, but only for one team specifically. This way you can leave or paint it for the other team so it swaps out the colors depending on the team your assigned to.
any engineer not using those unbalanced jokes can go fuck themselves then? is this your point?
I never said bait prediction to beat DH. To beat DH you have to play with your team and catch the soldier off guard. Doesn't matter how strong a weapon is, gamesense topples raw DM. 'dick weapon' is a term coined by mad players who get killed by something a lot. That doesn't mean there's a problem with the weapon.
