youre all bad at this game

>tfw you play engie because this user is right

kot

>pyro with scotsman's skullcutter
explain yourself

Post artwork of your Mercenaries

looks traced

how many hours needed to transition from pubstar to higher level?

at least 1000 but some people (most) never make the cut at all

>have 6000 hours
>peaked in skill around 700 and have been trying to maintain that ever since
>still better than everyone ever

hmm yes feels goood to be me

Theres no defined number of hours. You can enter competitive leagues at any time, and any entry level team that enforces an hour limit are probably shit heads anyway.

i have 1800 hours and i havent made any significant progress in skill for atleast few hundred hours. I tried to play some highlander on tf2center before but you can guess how that ended

...

Depends on what you consider "higher level".
Entry level comp, 1000 hours should do fine.
Pure hour count doesn't really mean a lot, first off a lot of it is idle time, and it's more important how these hours have been spent.

if you really want to get better i'd suggest joining a team in a league
you get better playing scrims and matches like 10x as fast

This is true. Playing actively for a few seasons in a row really makes you improve.

Ya gotta keep at it. I was lucky and met a few really nice guys in UGC Steel back when Iron and Gold were still a thing.
Then those got merged into a Steel and Silver respectively, and I've been sticking with the guys I met in the beginning ever since.

We're in Silver Playoffs now.

yea i thought of that, but then again im a slav with shit voice and accent so i guess ill just stay on pubs, maybe some tf2center 9v9 once i grow some balls

...

who made this? is he doing them for tf2 items?

>im a slav with shit voice and accent
This is 90% of European tf2, dude. Prem doesn't consist of purely native English speakers with 1000 dollar microphones.
Fucking about in pubs gets you nowhere, so start looking for a team right NOW!

i'm too shy to show you but i'm really glad nobody outside of my team and it's smaller circle knows how bad my english is
you don't really need to have good english to call things like 'med took x', 'arrow me' or 'focus the heavy'
you're not looking to maincall your first season anyways

>want to remove pink paint off my mutton chops but that would remove value
what should i do lads?

Kill yourself now, there's no way to save you

where is the update

a few hours away

sorry i meant a few thousand hours away

sorry I meant to say never

poot

is

I offer

I'll draw your loadout for items. ;)
/id/ShootMeForTwelveDollars

sell it for what it's worth to make profit and buy a different pair of mutton chops.

mvg me rn faggot

>mvg
did you mean mge?

meme me

me me me

CageZ, he does comissions, but I think Max and I got lucky

Sometimes he'll post here asking for loadouts to draw. If you give him a pyro, he's very likely to add cowtits, though.

i'll draw your loadout for fuckin free

I'll fuck your loadout

I'll rate your loadout

Spoiler: Will never be as good as mine/10

your loadout is trash
unusuals != good loadout

oh and
cosmetics != good loadout

good loadout?

Is steam acting up today? My steam client is slow.

rate my pyro

Post loadouts.

yeah what the fuck i'm getting the same problem, can't navigate menus at all

had to launch TF2 from the Recent Games list by right-clicking Steam in my taskbar this morning because i couldn't click on anything in my library

delete steam browser cache
settings > web browser
will lag again if you restart the client tho

I thought i was the only one having this issue

there is literally no situation in this game that can't be handled by alternating between pyro and demoman depending on the situation

if you could only ever play two classes which would they be

fake and gay, you are fake news

dont click link it gave me an eye infection

This is really lazy and directly ripped from the "unused content" wiki page.

which one should i use :o

Neither.

Personally I like the Right because hurr durr all class cosmetics are lame

Consider a noose instead.

both those loadouts are garbage please dont wear them

the le party phantom looks awful with both loadouts

r8 don't h8

The mask ruins both desu

may as well go for the generic spy hat to go with the generic spy mask

Heck. What should I replace it with?

ok

Soldier Engineer and Sniper look cool
Scout looks like a faggot

I agree :3c

get this one instead

Feels very cluttered, except maybe Heavy

Challenge: Create patch notes that make spy at least as viable in 6's as sniper

why

Sure do like that max's head dont ya

because he's an interesting idea but a shit class, though desu most thief/rogue type characters in vidya are shit

changes
-all maps now have the minimum of 30 staircases
Dead Ringer
-no longer requires ammo, will feign whenever you need it.

Spy is viable in 6s, just not as a fulltime class. Same with snipperman. I'm not sure why you want to play spy in 6s anyway, it's a shit class and the only way you can make him "viable" in the same way as the other classes is to buff the "slower scout, but with an invis watch" playstyle.

>max's

>Patch notes:
There, I did it. Spy and Sniper are now equally viable in 6s.

+30% jump height when on slopes
Knife now has eyelander range

good, minus points for festives.

i find spy to be very powerful in 6s
it's not as safe as sniper and therefore not smart to use as often, but extremely effective the one time you do use him
i see spy being used at some point in pretty much every match i play

as a medic main
fuck you

Speaking of, I always keep forgetting to save that webm of Starkie vs. Froyo. Anyone want to post it for me?

...

what the fuck even

fuck off

are you one of them piss peddlers

kill yourself

Well can you answer my question guys? He blocked me :(

fuckin middle man tactic is so fuckin old why are they still doin this

Apparently the retards at scrap.tf still fall for it, every once in a while there's a raffle titled "I got scammed :(" with the raffler telling how they fell for that shit.

It really amazes me that in this day and age it's still a fairly common scam.

youtube.com/watch?v=XXE6jr6a3x4

Thoughts?

the game is louder than the speaker

I know, public and not much chance of winning it, but hey, it's a nice unusual, I'd actually wear it:

scrap.tf/raffles/2VM9T4

>whispering with game volume cranked
Not worth watching is what I think.

>mfw fell for a middle man scam back in the day
>he had 5000+ rep on sourceop or something
>turns out it was on-site code for how many people he scammed

>"dead ringer is not overpowered"
>he says as he destroys an entire server with dead ringer surfing

is stabby retarded or something

did valve try to implement some kind of toaster deterrent or something
I'm on my laptop and I thought i'd install steam so i could chat or whatever but it literally just doesn't function

login screen is fuckin frozen or some shit with the input thingy taking like 10 seconds per blink

When are spies going to learn that that shit doesn't work anymore? They should go back to 2012.

sucks to suck yo.

my friend lost a stormy storm merryweather to the middle man scam

Take this shit to /trash/ and never come back
