Steak combined with KGB does the kick in the gameplay for me most of the time. Something got close catches fire or gets crit punches to the face. Trick is convincing your medic to check behind while you check what's above you and evade divers from upper floors.

I seriously thought about adding jump pads for engineer, please tell me your thoughts:

>pushes you a bit farther than a horizontal rocket jump, think about from spawn to the ramp on process last
>takes 5 seconds to reset
>engineer can put down two of them at max, both cost 50 metal

teleporters don't work in 6s because each time you capture a point, you have to move both the exit and the entrance teleporter. With the jump pads, you can put one down at last, and at second. They work independently of each other.
If you lose mid, then you can take the one at spawn to get to second faster. If you win mid, you spawn at second, and can use the jump pad to get closer.

Also, the engineer can put down two pads, have 100 metal to put down a dispenser, and then pick up an ammo kit to have a minisentry at mid. If you lose mid, then second has faster spawns effectively, and a dispenser that gives health and ammo.

What are your honest expectations for Halloween this year, community update or otherwise?

What maps do you want?
What do you think we'll get?
Spells?
Will we get the pyro update alongside it?

Personally, I feel like I've seen a stronger desire for steel than any other map. There are tons of unused stuff from the community, so I hope they don't skimp out on new items this year.

>>155823790
VNN speculated that based on some details, the pyro update and halloween update might be patched into one.

It's a 5cp map that I'm building so that I'll have a good place to frag while still spamming my trade bind, and when I'm tired of fragging I can walk through the teleporter and go to the quiet trading area.

I think I'll release the 5cp portion as a standalone as well.

This is why Valve 6s is dead. It's full of shitters who complain about the comp meta being "stale" then have no understanding of team composition or why the meta is what it is. A good demo will shit all over a heavy with a pocket medic. Two good scouts to defend your flank and harass the enemy flank do way more than a shitty spy or pyro could.

i haven't had fun in video games in about a year now
should i come back to tf2 or is overwatch just killing it?

>>155863424
tf2 is still fun, overwatch is way more casual and easy, like retarded baby easy, so no, it's not killing it in any way. if anything, if blizzard doesn't allow community servers like tf2 does, it'll be in danger of shutting down forever should they decide the game is no longer profitable and shut down the central servers. that's not something i see happening to tf2, even if valve shuts down their servers, which i don't see why they would considering the game is so fucking profitable, there's still community servers and people dedicated enough to keep the game alive. people who say that overwatch is going to kill tf2 or that tf2 is dying are just memeing.

I'll settle this.

Consider this: No one is playing tag in my room, therefore tag is dead. If I start playing tag with anyone and they play with me, tag is alive. Substitute tag for any game.

someone asked me to play on a team for them

how do i git gud

Genuine curiosity: what's the reason why you're still playing TF2, a 9 year old game? What makes it more appealing to you than other modern fps games?
For me it's a couple of reasons:
1) it's a challenging game and it requires great game sense and skill
2) it doesn't revolve excsluively around "muh team organization" and "muh hero pick", becasue TF2 is a good compromise between team play and individual value.

>>155867207
it's fun
all of the characters are well written inside the game and in the comics
getting a +2 while playing soldier feels like I just creamed in my pants and actually plays a huge factor in a match
despite being almost 10 years old it looks great on high setting because of the cartoonish nature, hiding it's age significantly

>>155867207
well a big part of it is because it's free and it can run on my piece of shit toaster.

but really, a huge part that keeps me coming back is the comedy. not just the funny characters and the funny things they say, but the fact that the most bizarre and out of nowhere things can just happen in this game when no one's being too serious. i like how there are these unspoken truces you'll sometimes get, the ones that last for entire matches where an enemy team member will do nothing but give you a thumbs up and say "thanks pally" crack me up for some reason. i feel like you can't really do anything like that in overwatch, like i haven't played the game, but i imagine the biggest "goofing off" thing you can do is stack your team full of the same hero.

but i think the single biggest thing is the sense of progression i get from playing it. i can feel myself getting better and getting more into the groove of how to play things every single time i boot up the game and that is an amazing feeling. getting slick headshots or crazy airshots, even hitting a long range crossbow arrow sends me to the fucking moon because god damn it, i worked for that shit. it just feels good to play.

>>155867207
I paid for hats

>>155867207
Oh, one more reason: The maps I play on are small. I spend too much time walking in some fps games without bumping into enemies. In tf2, the maps are designed in ways that encourage fighting and conflicts faster.

>>155868520
i already know all that

Sapper idea:
Sapped sentries only target their own team and only do 25% damage.
Sapped dispensers stop healing and damage their own team for 25% their normal heal rate.
Sapped teleporters teleport their team to their spawn.
Deals no damage to buildings.
Sapper breaks after however long a regular sapper would take to destroy a building.

>>155869794
not him but that update was pretty shit

>>155869885
what about when they bring back the option to just stick around on one server like it used to be, will that help

i mean personally, i really like casual. before mym i kind of stagnated and played the same 2 or 3 maps over and over, but now i can just tick off the maps i really fucking hate (goldrush) and i'm good to go, having fun playing the game in new ways that i haven't even tried before. leveling up feels pretty gratifying too. i'll admit comp sucks but lobbies still exist, nothing's stopping you from doing that, and those have a highlander mode. the worst thing i can say about the update besides the botched comp is that they didn't balance the unlocks the way they should have. dds and crit a cola are still stupid broken and i don't know if they'll be fixed by the next big content update.

>>155867207
>why you're still playing TF2, a 9 year old game?

agree on spy and pyro though, but Heavy to mid is totally viable if you're running GRU and Sandvich. Overpowered, even.

>>155887643
>Heavy to mid is viable
Not if the enemy has a competent demo. Which no one does because the med is always too busy sucking off the heavy to heal the demo.

>>155846158
>he was actually the only medic on your team and was top scoring
what are the odds of this?

>>155887731
Slim to none. If the medic is topscoring, that generally means your team is too incompetent to even know how to open the votekick menu.

>>155871783
Mantreads rework
>-75% reduction in push force taken from damage
>Deals 3x falling damage to the player you land on

Mantreads is now the "anti-anti-bombing" secondary. Use it when you want to bomb in on the enemy Medic, but don't want a Heavy, Minisentries, Snipers, or Scouts fucking with you while you're in midair and bouncing you all over the place with bullets.

>>155887710
>Not if the enemy has a competent demo. Which no one does
Sideshow was talking about competent teams. Heavy is a good choice to mid even vs competent teams with gru. he can efficiently deny roamers, he can heal his own Medic, he can track scouts with hitscan they can't dodge, a demo can stop him but not before he's done a significant amount of damage

>Deals no damage to buildings.
That's not balanced at all, everyone would abuse it if it never damages the sapped sentry. Also there should be a windup time like disabling it entirely before hacking it, which gives Engineer enough time to response and remove it. I say, one swing should be enough.
>Sapped dispensers stop healing and damage their own team for 25% their normal heal rate.
>Sapped teleporters teleport their team to their spawn.
Silly. There would be a visual effect for sapped teleport and dispensers also Engis would get noted about it and destroy it without regret if he can't response in time anyway.
>Sapped sentries only target their own team and only do 25% damage.
Still, a rocket salvo deals immense damage to anyone who across their path.

>>155869316
But it should, if it has a windup time -for balance issues- it should be enough for you to drop your disguise and attack Engineer.

can valve just rework sniper instead of pyro and heavy?

sniper's op lads

>>155897073
What's there to change?

>>155897438
give the fucker damage falloff or idle sway or something that means that a good sniper can't solo carry absolutely fucking everything in the most frustrating way possible.

>>155897698
Did your head get a lot lighter last match mate?

>>155897698

>>155897073
indeed, heavy and pyro aren't even a threat unless they're up your ass

le piss man just instagibs people from his safe place across the map and good luck countersniping him because lol dds

and most of the people playing sniper use cheats

Nigga, you high? The team with bots will lose 100% of the time, that bot is just a free kill for the other team.

>>155935778
Best part of going against bots in TF2 is when you play Spy and if you brush against one or sap anything, all of them yell spy and murder you instantly.

>>155937310
I like the part where if you bump into the enemy spy as a spy he'll follow you around the entire map even if you cloak.

i want my genuine medal NOW

so, 5v6 would be better?
the team that has the bot will win more XP if they win, and lose less if they lose.
i dont see any problem with this system, its exactly how csgo works

>>155937527
All CSGO bots have to do is click, TF2's class system and movement makes bots a highly impractical solution. Plus, the bot AI hasn't even been touched at all since they were implemented. I would honestly rather get no EXP at all than lose with four bots on my team.

>>155936153
see >>155936220

i honestly can't say which is worse right now

at least TF2 MM has the proper tickrate

>>155937719
bots are garbage in CSGO too. the only time they look like their good is when for some reason they notice a player across the map. then they can have godly aim
what would you do if a player left one team in 6v6 mm ?

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a minute and just remind you that the bots in tf2 weren't programmed for any of the 5cp maps so maybe they tweaked the bots a bit to be less retarded.

at the very LEAST i hope they coded them to chose the 6's classes instead of having some retarded engie bots that go to second and set up a nest buildings one meter apart to provide free points for the enemy

You could already make bots play on 5cp maps (and most other gamemodes) if you generated a nav mesh for the map. Given how lazy the tf team is, the bot AI probably hasn't been adjusted at all, which means:
>They select a random class and occasionally re-select their class
>Pyro bots abuse airblast and like to corner-trap you
>Red bots may or may not leave spawn during setup on Gorge and Swiftwater
>Soldiers and Demos don't know how to explosive jump
ON THE OTHER HAND

Nice EXP rework.

>>155942826
I tried loading up a 6v6 bot map on Process. They went: 2 medics, 1 pyro, 1 scout, 1 heavy. You can see where this is going. Bots have always worked on cp_gorge, it's one of the stock training maps, after all. There is a bug sometimes where after some time has passed, the bots on BLU will not leave spawn at all. It only happens on some maps, though, and none of those are in the comp rotation. The main problem is when on defense, and when they lose mid on 5CP they like to go engineer and turtle a point behind. Engineer bots are fucking retarded, and none of them know how to spycheck. Haven't checked their behavior on Swiftwater, but it'll probably be the same as on Gorge or other maps.

>>155942826
I'm scared to know if they ever pick hard difficulty sniper.

matchmaking is as bad as it's ever been and it was announced a year and a half ago

>>155943573
Priority for bot classes: Two medics(seems like they always do this), Explosive class(demo or soldier, they don't care), Scouts, pyro, heavy, then last is support classes like engineer, sniper, and spy. Depending on if they're offense or defense, they'll go spy or sniper.

>>155943175
Also, forgot to mention. Bot engineers only build in designated sentry spots, and never upgrade their teleporters past level 1, if they build one at all. They won't even repair them or unsap them. I've even seen bots building a tele entrance and tele exit right next to each other in their nest. Also, they will always fully upgrade their sentry to level 3 before building a dispenser. Overall, they have good aim, but zero movement, so they're basically free kills for anyone playing against them.

How can I practice skills like rocket/sticky jumping, headshotting enemies as sniper, and being effective with most classes in general?
I used to love this game a few years ago, but I had a disability on my right hand that only allowed me to play classes that could work with a single hand, like heavy and spy.
Now that I recovered most of my hand movement I'm dying to play this game I, but everyone is just too good.

>>155944784
Rocket/sticky jumping, either load up an empty local server using a stock map or a jump map. Don't forget to put "sv_cheats 1" then "net_fakelag [whatever number you desire]" in the console when you do. Headshotting people is just a matter of practice, play around on pubs a bit until you get a good feel for every class, and if you want something more skillful, move up to lobbies. Don't bother playing Valve's competitive matchmaking, it's shit.

Abandoners should be absolutely raped.

1 day for 1st, 1 week for second, 1 month for third.

Counter resets after a month to the day of your first abandon, so the ban never exceeds a month.
If you're partied up and someone abandons, everyone in the party takes a strike if the team is losing at the time.


Don't play comp if you have no intention of finishing the match.

It's because most players are fresh out of Valve pubs where it's super common to just leave if you aren't doing well/there's someone better than you on the other team. They've gotten comfortable with not even trying against pubstars, so this carries over into comp as well. It's why there was such a huge backlash against abandon penalties in casual, even tho the abandon penalties would've gotten them used to playing in the more serious Valve comp format. Unfortunately it didn't work as planned, and instead of losing exp or ANYTHING in casual, you can just leave willy nilly until you find a server full of 12 year olds to stomp.

Reckoner is a shit map. Doesn't belong in TF2, looks like it should be in CS:GO, or a Swedish Ikea.

Cardinal is shaping up to be a lot better, though. Has Br4ggy giving feedback.

Wow I never knew rollouts were so important.

Why they picked Swiftwater was explained in a 3 hour long video by Sigafoo after visiting Valve.

TL;DR they saw that Swiftwater was their most played map, so they put it into MM because they wanted to test a Payload map in the 6v6 competitive setting.

Agree that it's a poor choice of map, but you don't need to bother complaining. Sigafoo has informed Valve at lunch on why the map is a problem, and they said they're trying a different rotation of MM maps in the next competitive "season."

>class limits

Fuck off, rebalances are required to actually SOLVE the problem instead of slapping a bandaid on it. Stop bringing up your shitty class limits meme.

>>155933209
play MM if you don't like random crits

10 bucks, or 50c and your phone number

or play free community comp with UGC/Ozfort/ETF2L/Asiafort

or play on a community server with nocrits

>>155948671
No amount of rebalance patches in the world will make playing against a team running 3 demos to mid with 3 medics fun.

That won't happen, if 2 people disconnect then the game quits like normal, it's only when 1 person disconnects that you'll see a bot

Why on earth would you assume I'm playing against anything but bots of the "highest" skill level. There's no substituting AI for actual human players.

2 Medics is a legitimately overpowered strategy though, that's why it's banned in 6v6. 2 Meds isn't a bad thing

>>155949052
Yes, except bot medics have no sense of self-preservation, and if there isn't a power class nearby, they will rush headlong at the enemy with their syringe gun out. They cannot spycheck, either. They will also never use anything but the stock medigun, and they are very prone to standing completely still and moving in straight lines.

Anyone want to party up and see if this iteration of MM has less aimbotting Snipers?

>>155948808
Medic is easily solved by preventing them from healing each other. The main problem with double Medics is that they're hard to kill when they overheal each other, and then you can't stop them building Uber. With the removal of overheal, 3 Medics have only 150 hp, and nobody protecting them but demos with pipes.

Bonk!, short circuit, Spies, Vaccinator, Targe, Quickiebomb Launcher, Scottish Resistance, and normal uber all easily counter stacked Demos spamming stickytraps.

Anyway they don't have to make it fun; they just have to make it unviable so teams won't run it. If a team wants to run a shit strat and succeeds despite it being purposely made unviable, good on them.

I've seen back when I used to play the shit game League of Legends what "class limits" and the like do to a team. People fight over their character and will throw an enormous shitfit if they don't get the one that they want. You can also get total retards/trolls/arrogant cucks who take an important position, jungler in League or Medic in TF2, who then totally proceed to fuck it up, and your team can't do anything about it because they won't change, and you can't have 2 Medics because it's limited to 1.

>Why on earth would you assume I'm playing against anything but bots of the "highest" skill level
Because if you had actually played against Expert bots, you would be complaining about Snipers who kill you as soon as you step out of spawn, not about them not being intelligent enough, you lying fag.
