>Heavy vs Pyro war
>Heavy got a gun buff to benefit from afterburn
>mfw

i am now a spy main

wew

Yes.

pretty cool actually
do the rockets look any different

Strange parts, Strange love and war items i believe strange natasha degreeser powerjack and sandvich

sydney sleeper is viable now holy SHIT

what in god's name is the point

>All Mediguns allow the Medic to match the speed of their heal target
pocket scouts ww@ ????!!!!!

Is the medigun speed buff that big of a deal? Medic is already one of the fastest classes. He'll have to hook onto a scout for this to matter.

ty

I can't think of any of these changes that I out right hate although for scout I don't think the sun on a stick buff is enough, same with the cozy camper and the Natasha nerf seems too harsh

>not gunboats
JUST FUCK ME UP TO BE HONEST

This is idiotic and looks fucking terrible.

>scout can now airblast
nice one eric

why does the shortstop keep getting memed on. every change for it didn't make sense at all

>a 1kg Scout pushing a 20 ton Heavy out of the way

this mostly affects the 6s midfights as this means that the medic can get wayyy faster to mid by grabbing a scout

>mfw people expected a proper update with class reworks and new weapons

I suppose it'd be kinda funny to bully ubers.

...

Pyro change seems a bit extreme regarding medic I'm pissed none of the shields got buffed, and the pompson change wasn't enough

"It could be Heavy. Or it could be Pyro. But it's not gonna be both!"
>say 2 classes are unbalanced
>not rebalancing both
hur dur

not shown: his hilarious little grunts as he does it

i hope they are just lying and rebalance both at the same time anyways

Is that a bison nerf? literally why would you nerf it? it's worse than the shotgun almost all the time anyway.

also,
>natascha/brass beast nerf
wow that heavy/pyro update better give them something else because they were shit to start with (natascha less so).
>quick fix nerf again
they got rid of the unique speed matching aspect and nerfed it again for no real reason.

everything else seems ok with me though.

and once again, valve shows they have no fucking idea about what actually needs to be balanced

The forum post said they'll do it for both eventually, just one first.

I hope it's Heavy who wins, anons, I'm one of the guys that made the better rated heavy set. Go win me those possible dollaridoos

>they contact b4nny and maybe other pros(?) for insight
>literally most of these changes are fucking garbage
>even the changes to the maps don't fit what the _pro variants are
I'm just so lost on wtf happened, maybe pros are bad at balancing.

>no part for kills enemies got by picking up your weapon

the sandvich is gonna be pricey as fuck man

>strange part: damage dealt
HAHAHAHA EAT SHIT GEEL

>Spy
>Base
>Max speed increased to 320 (from 300)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>valve servers get removed
>watch my favorite community server flourish with life for the first time in years.

When will the item server return from the war

When will Valve be scrapping TF2 and making TF3?

Never

>swiftwater is finally an official map
thank christ above

also never

>can now disguised as medic and even the extremly detailed fuck can't tell the speed difference
This is so fucking funny on many levels, can't wait for "diguise as scout and get the same speed as him" buff.

>DDS is out of the nerf zone for yet another year

I MUST KILL FAST BUT BULLETS TOO SLOW

>can't join favorite servers anymore because they're full

>shooting a medic with the pomson 6000

you can always tell when they start to panic

...

Thanks Valve. I just want my Disgaea hats.

i feel kinda sad that quickplay got removed
It should have been all three things
Quickplay
Casual
Comp

upward's gonna be swarming with scouts for months

>actually included the HW from Doom 2
I'm impressed

>No connection to game coordinator

why don't they just delete the FaN already?

twitch DOT tv/foodcrew4u

I thought the Soldier changes were going to be big.

You still have non-valve servers. I think casual play seems fun, tho, it's just like quickplay but without being able to leave for the round.

not really, unless it's a "rare" or the box itself is rare it will quickly go down

Quickplay was fun.
Find the mode, find that map you like, and play away in a varied skilled pub match.

God I'm gonna miss those simple times :(

The prinny knife is a fucking weapon.

are all custom huds not working because all I have is just a thing to make damage numbers bigger and that's not working. the default numbers are so tiny you need a magnifying glass to see

>meddling with base movement speed
this can't go well

this is awful

Pyrofags on suicide watch.
