>All Bats allow the Scout to triple jump

This was fixed in the major update.

someone sell me 3 nametags

There is nothing wrong with casual mode, besides the queue times. They're even adding the ability to select a certain map soon(tm), just so crybabies like you will finally shut up. Stop crying because it isn't what you're used to, if you want to pick and choose a map immediately, just play on community servers. God, you're all such brats.

sent ;)

thanks

>every other class removed
>scout gets all their weapons
>all maps replaced with Quake 3 maps

nobody bullies my cute tf2gs

...and lives

there are good and bad maps retard
bad maps:
>foundry
>gorge
>vanguard
they should just remove all those, and add badlands and freight or well desu.

clips twitch tv/thatguytagg/BadPeafowlEagleEye

why do people hate gorge and vanguard

Funke is my waifu

delete this right now

Gorge is one of the best looking maps in the game, they just have bad taste.

We were talking about Casual, not competitive. 6v6 Gorge was a mistake.

i dislike vanguard because it's too narrow and awkward

gorge because it isnt 5cp

will price for strange iron bomber drop?

tf2's resident token black guy is streaming

Eventually. Just wait it out.

Play 5gorge, then.

Guaranteed.

Smash Brothers is a party game and has no intrinsical skill required to play it.

yes
give it a couple of weeks

this is about to happen

grrrr i am anger now
pic related is me

So do you like the update? I haven't tried the casual mm yet and I'm a f2p, but I love the mini viewmodels.

The update is alright by me. I just wished kiddies didn't immediately abandon every time the game starts to look slightly bad for them.

Paired with imbeciles who can't even play medic. Back to rank1 again. Why valve, why.

Join the community servers master race.

Join the tf2center master cheisse.

I'm sorry. Every time I go medic in matchmaking, my team doesn't protect me, so I usually swap back to scout or something else I'm bad at.

Nah. I like playing random maps, it's fun. I realized I had pigeonholed myself into only playing certain payload or KOTH maps, so it gets me out of that little zone I had going.

I'm bad, though.

It's easy to blame medics when you and the other players have terrible aim.

they are too narrow/cramped. gorges middle point is completely inside with very low ceiling hallways and such

Are there good players in casual mm?

hows comp looking, boys??

Almost every match I've had has been pretty even, though there were a few rolls.

>get 40 kills in like 5 mins
>still lose

this is not ok

i am not happy with this

i miss renard

MR SLIN and his boys
b4nny and his boys
sideshow and his boys
DaBridgeTroll and his boys
and a lot of high-prem ETF2L people in general

I'm searching for a casual match. Hopefully it won't take long.

FUCKING REPLY TO ME

>tfw you only played random ass game modes like vsh and deathrun so the update didnt do anything at all
im trash at the game though

*replying fucks to you*

calm down
have a glass of milk
what's wrong
what's on your mind

>There is nothing wrong with casual mode, besides the queue times.
Yea bro I love playing half a payload game.

Nothing wrong with that at all!

I've never actually gotten into a normal CP map so I don't know if it works the same way.

...

5gorge is kinda okay

smoke

Vanguard is better than gorge

>No soldier stash
you had ONE job

I've actually mostly played complete rounds of payload. I do agree that Valve should rework that, though. Also, yes A/D CP works the same way. If Blu captures X points in Y amount of time, Red has to do it faster in order to win when the teams switch. Things like PLR and 5CP and CTF are best of 3, though, I dunno why the inconsistency.

that is already 3 hats my man

oh
just want to say you are SMOKING hot
heh heh

i already said what was on my mind

i dont like losing when i go hard every game

This is a team game. Did you try actually communicating with your teammates, or did you try to do everything yourself? Teamplay > Soloplay, this is competitive, not a Valve pub.

>posting literally me

>Things like PLR and 5CP and CTF are best of 3, though, I dunno why the inconsistency.
>End up on high tower
>Have to go through that shit THREE times

>every match we're about to win someone abandons

>all the other matches we lose because someone decides to go afk instead of abandoning

tagg says Valve is leaving fps configs behind so they can standardize bug fixing and optimizations

how? do they collect performance data from people in MM? that would be the only valid explanation

standardize me

Go fuck yourself with a cactus, conagher

It's because FPS configs make your game even more unstable so Valve can't get accurate and reproducable bug reports

am i unstable

"more unstable"
i only ever get under 100 FPS when in MM
in viaduct its mostly around 160 on average and down to 40 FPS in the midst of action

>No more double zarya or double winston + double lucio + double tracer
>Overwatch casual is literally more casual than tf2 despite being an inherently more competitive game
Come on valve you're supposed to make people want to play the game again, not funnel even more people away.

And one of the community servers I've gone to for a while went sort of pay to win

So...

Why are you guys still playing this game?

I would've thought hats and cosmetics would've killed it a long time ago, but no, it's still there.

Is it still genuinely fun for you? After almost 10 years?

Did you start near release when you still had to pay for it, or after it went free to play?

Genuinely curious

More unstable as in you're basically turning off important shit when using FPS configs

why do "pro" versions of snowy maps get rid of the snow and replace with grass?

examples:
koth_product (koth_viaduct)
cp_warmfront (cp_coldfront)

performance

because its still fun to frag noobs in community server

expand please
how does a white snow surface affect performance more than a grassy surface ?

snow particales

i only played this game for 7 years
quit every now and then for a few months and then come back

it sounds pretentious but it really is "The most fun you can have online"

I started playing in the first halloween update (oct 30 2009) and have played it fairly regularly since then.

This is the first update to make me not want to play the game.

3x3

I've been playing since 2008, I still play it because I enjoy the vast variety of mechanics.

Also because since I've put so much time into it, I'm absolute shit at other multiplayer games by comparison.

I'm too scared to play comp because I don't want to lose my troublemaker rank

Is my engineer cute?

last.fm/user/hotbred

stack
don't lose
easy as that

i personally think there are two kinds of games in the FPS genre

>"just shoot" games
>movement games

TF2 and Quake Live being the latter
you can actually get a good positioning instead of just peeking and one-shot kill anybody
large health pool i think is great

I like dress up games.

>stack
I have anyone to stack with unless I posted a request here

Reminder that this update is shit.

Comp is shit, it's always someone leaving midgame and making the rest leave because 0 xp loss.

Casual is shit because not only you cant choose your map anymore or have to wait 5 minutes or more, but also if you join midmatch you get 0 points, so yoi cant even help the team you're on

Balance changes were utter shit. Few of them and they were all pulled out of there asses like the quickie bomb launcher change or worthless like the crit a cola and shortstop changes.

It's all a big fat mess.

AFTER A FUCKING WEEK OF SHITTY TEAMS AND QUEUING IN CHILE SERVERS WHEN I'M FROM FUCKING US EAST, I FINALLY GOT OUT OF FRESH MEAT!!!!!

i dpont understand

in 2 years this gif will be outdated because kaidus will no longer be an European citizen

I'm legitimately surprised that anyone could find that many matches without abandoners.
