Post baffling game design choices. I'll start with an easy one.

They're good because in shitty casual modes TF2 is basically stalemate simulator and lucky crits can break that.

>>389902818
You're confused over why crits exist? You must be stupid. There is nothing baffling about this at all.

>>389903108
Wait a minute....

>>389903258

God forbid player skill dictates what breaks the stalemate

>But muh endless 2fort

TF2 is terribly balanced and designed really in terms of balanced competitive gameplay.
The classes themselves are varying degrees of good, but the sum of its parts doesn't work well in a competitive environment

>>389902818
Crockets are bullshit, but not nearly as much as Sniper and Spy.

>Sniper: A class that can instakill at any range, in a game where no one else has ranged instakills of any kind or even enough long-range effectiveness to deter snipers (at least, before new weapons were added)
>Spy: A class that can instakill from behind, in a game where the health:damage ratio is high enough that fights involve facing towards the enemy for a long time

They're both designed without properly considering whether it's fair on the enemy.
One exploits you being able to do nothing to them while they can still instakill, one exploits the fact that you have to focus on the enemy and ignore the small chance that there's a spy behind you mid-fight.

All that Snipers and Spies contribute to the game are:
>chance of randomly dying while heading for the front lines
>chance of randomly dying mid-fight

It's rare that you get to play a TF2 match where neither team has snipers or spies, but it's way more fun.

TF2 was not made to be competitive at all, especially at launch.

How is that any different from any other FPS game.

They pretty much all have OHKO Snipers and OHKO Melee Knifings

>competitive

>>389905658

Which is fine, sort of.
The game is fun as fuck in casual play, it just starts to get frustrating the more you play it if you start getting competitive with it. Which you inevitably will after a certain amount of time with the game

But thats not just TF2. Thats any game with competitive potential and good core gameplay but design flaws that stop it from being really competitively balanced

crits are just part of the game you baby

>>389905810
>buy dark souls 2 at launch
>want to co-op with my friends
>no one can figure out why we can't see each other
truly a b-team mistake

>>389907165
but coop doesnt really work in any of the fromsoft games.

Probably because not every game needs to be 'competitive'. Focusing on how 'competitive' a game can be is a side effect of the removal of 'community' in games. Predominantly because the only other method to play is matchmaking, which requires some sort of rank structure or people cry about muh unfair.

>>389903601
>muh player skill

a medic not dying long enough to build uber is not "skill"
a demo blowing up some stationary objects with tools designed for exactly that is not "skill"

What did they mean by this? Shooting a rocket at your feet would obliterate your legs.

>>389908548
almost like tf2 was a mistake and turned fortress style games into the class shooters of today

Great design right there.
