why though

i don't have and don't know what "powerjack" is or does.

How are you in matchmaking?

because i love you, user.

>he doesn't spend at least ten minutes in tr_walkway each day

What do you have to say for yourself?

I put on some fakelag and practice at least a single round against bots. I like to think it helps.

pyro needs a an item in the 2/3 slot for a speedboost.

Why play against bots? You're better off in a pub

Every time I start the game, I get some initial FPS drops from spam, so why not?

So, the powerjack?

turkey rn

why do flare guns get random crits again

>stock axe

Is queuing fucked again

Most of the match was 8v12

on release it only did 20 damage and it could not crit or mini crit

later they buffed the damage to 30

later they added mini-crits on flaming enemies

then they added crits on flaming enemies

now it's a decent sidegrade

Why does this map exist again?

hey does anyone in this general have cool names for miniguns?

HOW TO FIX THE PYRO:

Degreaser and Phlog removed
Axtinguisher switch speed nerf reverted
Pyro can no longer equip the Reserve Shooter
Detonator can now jump as high as it was in the beta
Flamethrower mojo fixed

y/n?

if they just fixed his MAIN WEAPON THAT IS LITERALLY BROKEN it would be fine.

remove crits from pyro, or remove pyro entirely

Is the casual matchmaking really skill addressed? Because I'm only being grouped with those 5 snipers teams, and I try to be helpful and go with needed classes.

they said in the update page that you would get matched with people of similar skill
then they said a day later that it doesn't matter so now I'm confused

How to fix TF 2
- Remove Pyro

You're confusing casual with proper matchmaking.
Casual it doesn't matter, though I have to say I haven't seen too many 5 sniper teams besides pre-game fucking around.

being grouped with those fucking retards that only play engie on freight to do the sky sentry bullshit over and over, and if valve is saying I'm as bad as those faggots that would offend me

>You're confusing casual with proper matchmaking.

nope
>Now, instead of jumping randomly into an in-progress game, you'll be matched into an unranked 12v12 game with players of similar skill.
>you'll be matched into an unranked 12v12 game with players of similar skill
>similar skill

Levels do nothing in casual matchmaking, how would they know who has similar skill to anyone?

Is this a joke video? It better be.

Is there a better feeling then spycapping a team thats trying to comeback from being pushed to their last point?

comp is more fun than I thought

>how would they know who has similar skill to anyone?
then they shouldn't outline that in the update page

I don't know, maybe capture/defend rates, overall deathmatch skill and shit like that?

i'm sure someone will take this video seriously

they say that but Jill confirmed on reddit that theres no actual skill-based ranking at all in casual
the levels dont mean anything to the actual casual system either
by similar skill i guess they mean "average shitters that liked quickplay like you"

how could valve even define pyro as an offensive class in the first place if they gave him absolutely no mobility

the only non-"offensive" class with high mobility is the demoman (and arguably medic with his 320 speed and newly-acquired scout speed on all mediguns)

reminder that this exists in the game code

youtube.com/watch?v=p9xQJCBxaEs

pyro is a spy without the spy. You have to be sneaky.

i wouldn't even be upset if this becomes a game feature

they defined it as an "ambush class"
also most of the nerfs to the stickylauncher are because of valve idea of it being a "defensive" weapon, not because of anyone actually complaining

So heavy's main problem is that he's boring due to only having one effective playstyle. Every other class has more than one way to play it effectively in a casual match. Heavy only has one excluding dumb shit like punch heavy and fat scout that any decent player will be able to shit all over. What's a weapon idea you have for heavy that can dramatically change his playstyle, not be overpowered in casual, and can be useful in comp?

would need some tweaks though
make it so airblasting forward doesn't boost momentum and make airblast cost more ammo (and make airblast cause self-damage)

really wish that shit was true

lmao heavy is the easiest class to stomp people with

I don't play it much because it literally feels like cheating, it's the most forgiving class by far

>and make airblast cause self-damage
or* make airblast cause self-damage

>new primary
>fast boots of running
>replaces minigun
>133% base speed
>+50 health

Rocket Science: Basically his minigun is a jet engine
Damange is in a cone in front of him, maybe put people on fire.
If he aim at the ground he will start flying, he can aim backward to move foward and shit

we science now niga

i loved this shit in some custom server from 2011
if you think about it, airblast was the most gamechanging update for pyro ever done
there was just nothing good about pyro before
the updates in the early life of TF2 were so good compared to the mess we have

Minigun that has no speed or jumping penalty when spooled up

it's all I've wanted

It's easy to preform well, but take someone like me who actually mastered the class and I stomp literally every pub with relative ease

That's shit

Also shit
literally cucking yourself unless you expect damage ramp up to just stop existing

stop avatarfagging you autistic fuck

It's easy to preform well, but take someone like me who actually mastered the class and I stomp literally every pub with relative ease

>one post

Yeah that's basically heavy in a nutshell
Just went 9k damage on a viaduct game and topfragged

>also most of the nerfs to the stickylauncher are because of valve idea of it being a "defensive" weapon, not because of anyone actually complaining

okay i'm gonna bust out an old blog

teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2253

here they call the sticky launcher a dual-purpose weapon

Heavy takes pretty much no skill, you don't have erratic movement to learn as scouts do, the kind of trick jumps scouts can do, or any rocket/sticky jumping shit whatsoever to learn.

The minigun spin up time is short as fuck and you can survive ambushes just fine, the minigun itself is a very forgiving weapon, soldiers, scouts and demos are punished by missing shots due to their limited magazine size, Heavy just has to keep the crosshair on top of people enough to kill them. Also the minigun is one of the best spychecking weapons, the stream of fire can catch cloaked spies no problem.

So in other words, shut the fuck up, you're playing the baby-tier class of the game.

Whenever I play heavy I get rekt.

>Robin Walker

this aussie cunt left his fucking legacy for dota 2 of all things

JUST

>spend time and effort mastering playing heavy
>only achievement even close to notable enough to mention is being good at pub servers, aka beating up brain-dead BRs and children

fucking lmao

I play highlander dude, and it's nice to have the option defending last in 6s

I also play scout, just for the record

>269 hours on TF2
>probably most than half of them pubstomping with the powerplay valve cheats

i have 10 hours on heavy and can stomp just about any pub
you have 900

>I play highlander dude
:----------------------)

offclassing in last is nice, indeed
a lot of the class limits in comp TF2 revolve aroudn the fact that theres no big downsides to offclassing in last when you can just go back to spawn and switch to another class

>highlander
lmao

>Robin had less than 300 hours in this game

No wonder shit was always terribly imbalanced. How many hours do Jill and Eric have?

im not trying to defend them but come on, do you seriously think valve employees play with their real accounts all the time

Jill has 4k hours.

Jill has 4k hours in TF2 (and was relatively recently hired by Valve)

I don't know about Eric

yes
i saw robin in a nucleus server once
>4k hours in the game
>still terribad at it
damnit

Eric has about 500 hours in the game.
and it's his most played game

Regardless

>sub 300 hours on main account on TF2
>1456 hours on main account in Dota

>all the time

>>still terribad at it
is there any evidence of this or are you mad about the update

Maybe Jill is one of those people who leaves the game running while he does other things. That's what I do.

is jill really a trap

whether he's a tranny or not is speculation

all we know is that he's a (supposedly hot) guy

probably the latter lmao

i do that too, i hate it

I feel bad because I have over a thousand hours in the game, but have only played for like half that time, if that.

Jill is shit at TF2
how do people not know about this

where is the proofs

>friend tells me about the new update
>lets give it a try

And people say TF2 is better than Overwatch.
