TOP TEN WORST TF2 WEAPONS IN 2016
MUST WATCH

shitty OP pic

Every Heavy weapon minus Sandvich. Done.

Pew pew

Funny that the worst set bonus back then is now the best

What if the heavy could walk over his thrown sandvich and use it as a medium health pack too?

it was like that before

That'd make it too strong, you'd basically have a 450hp heavy
Valve would never do such a thing

tf2 sucks

>the australium heavymedic combo is dominating you

Never happened.

Doesn't sound that strong d e s u, valve should give it a try and see how it goes.

how many of you have nothing in life besides this videogame at the moment

I also lift things up and put them down at the gym.

>black box gutted
>conch still has lower damage charge requirement and potentially gamechanging aura speedboost
I don't think so Tim

>use the blag bogs :D for so long I forgot what's it like to have 4 rockets
>tfw switching back to stock

my god

>the heavy is either ubered or has random crits and pops out when you least expect him

I have a full-time job that requires me to frequently leave town, but they sent me home this week with pay

I left in May for the military, got both my legs broken during it and came home broken. I'm completely unhappy, have no drive, no idea what to do for school or work.

Learn to read
>Milkman set forces you to carry a mediocre primary, a non-damaging secondary and a melee reskin, essentially making you the team's milk maid
>sentrybuster set gives you health on hit, 20 extra hp, and eventually a counter to headshots and kritz FOR YOUR WHOLE TEAM
>Attendant set is made of a flamethrower that had it's main gimmick nerfed to hell and an utility melee that everyone uses because speed>everything else
>piss sniper is good if you want to support your team, and would be good to countersnipe if it's secondary wasn't available to every other sniper in existance. The melee also negatively synergizes with the set
>hahaha saharan spy

>playing on 200 ping so can't go demo and 4pipe his shit

Do Heavy mains actually exist?

Heavy strongest class in game.

Yes, but we play it ironically

John cena that was here in 2013 was a heavy main wasn't he

Heavy is the counter to retards. He's only good against bad players. Lots of M1+W pyros? Go heavy and you'll annihilate them. Lots of idiot scouts that charge right at you? Go Natascha heavy and you'll annihilate them.

But spy is also a counter to retards

Yeah, they're the people that come into gamer fuel threads and wank over water

>Soldier is the counter to retards. He's only good against bad players. Lots of M1+W pyros? Go Soldier and you'll annihilate them. Lots of idiot scouts that charge right at you? Go Direct Hit Soldier and you'll annihilate them.

>piss sniper is good if you want to support your team
>would be good to countersnipe if it's secondary wasn't available to every other sniper
lmao
At any rate black box with no shotgun is subpar if either team has a decent medic, your damage output comes up short compared to other soldiers.
And if we're theorycrafting yesterdays set bonuses with todays unlocks, then 125% movespeed pyros with reserve shooter and 225 hp scout with pocket medic that can match his movespeed gives me pause. Milk is still fantastic in organized settings as well.

You haven't even referenced medieval medic, which would be mandatory if it still existed.

everything can be a counter to retards

Show me a more generic loadout

Heavy is the counter to Jumpers, Pyros, Engineers and really anything he can get close to in a 1v1

Who /dangershieldin2fort/ here?

Daily reminder to do your part to help make TF2 great again.

I can't understand if you're agreeing with me or making fun of my opinion on snipers
Anyhow, i forgot that the med medic had that +1 regen because the other two never had some bonus

who /sandmanin2fort/ here

What do they actually look at when you rate a match?
Do they look at if you won or lost, your K/D, what weapons were used, what classes were on the team?

What exactly is the point?

who /notplaying2fort/ here?

>Heavy is engineer's counter
Is this a joke? Heavy is never your top priority for an uber, especially against a sentry nest, and without one, he's useless against engineer.

I have no idea, but I've been rating every match horrible out of sheer principle.

TC/kringle/some multiclass gaudy item

since it got added

>Check wiki
>LnL+caber gave you 10% fire res
>The shitty heavy bear set gave you 5% crit res
jesus christ i'd forgotten all about this, why was this a thing
it was FREE fire res for any demo who knew how to aim or simply used stickies, and the crit resistance is SO FUCKING USELESS when you're a sitting duck with 280hp
damn

On your own, you can expect to do about 240+ dps to a level 3 sentry gun at a medium range

The level 3 can do about 128 dps to you

Even if the engineer is hitting that thing as hard as possible then you are going to come out on top even without a medic.

If you really think you need extra help then pack a Dalokohs Bar and eat it just before you go around the corner.

Hi. I posted this Sonic Heroes TF2 crossover fan list yesterday. I've improved it since then.

Scout, Heavy and Medic make up Team Sonic. Scout moves fast like Sonic. Heavy's great strength makes him a match for Knuckles. Much like Tails, Medic likes to support his friends.

"Awh, that freakin' egghead tricked us!" - Scout when he falls for one of Eggman's traps
"Keep hiding inside robot, coward!" - Heavy when he sees Eggman
" The best medicine!" - Medic after killing many of Eggman's robots

Sniper, Spy and Engineer would make up Team Chaotix. If you underestimate either of these odd bunches, you'll end up on the floor before you can reconsider. Spy uses stealth tactics like Espio. Sniper is like Vector, he's mellow and reliable. Engineer is Charmy, people wave him away as useless, only to get stung.
"Blood, I can clean out of my suit, but this?" - Spy in swamp levels
"Take a picture of ya head Eggman! It'll last longer than the actual one." - Sniper at first boss fight
"I'm no expert, but this thing might fly!... Actually, I am an expert. It can fly." - Engineer at the flower in Frog Forest

Demoman, Soldier and Pyro would be Team Dark. They are all destructive classes, who inflict grievous damage on anyone who gets in their way. Soldier is like Shadow because he moves quickly, and can destroy enemies in the blink of an eye. Demoman is like E-123 Omega, he views his enemies as obstacles instead of actual people. He kills them without forethought or remorse, fueled by his consumption of alcohol. Pyro is like Rouge (NOT because he's a girl) because he's a specialist, who prefers to use other techniques than fighting people upfront.
"Soon as I blow that Eggman to pieces, I'm done with you two lassies." - Demoman to his teammates upon starting the first level
"Oh yeah! This airspace belongs to America!" - Soldier when him and his team fly through bonus rings
"Mmmph!" - Pyro

So that's it guys. Please let me know what you think. Improvements maybe?

Anyone knows how the crossbow heal shot decides how much uber you get per shot?
Does it count health healed or percentage healed to choose from the 1-8% uber charge?

it's based on health healed

Apparently it's 1% uber for every 16hp healed

Thanks!

Croc sniper set has always been mediocre, like the huntman before it, it was fun for goofing around with but you put it away when you wanted to try to win. Quickscopes>Jarate, and that's before taking into account that you have your quickscopes and regular jarate too.
Any decent rifle sniper will simply double tap a croc sniper before he can get charge in time, and you don't need danger shield to do this.

Sydney sleeper has been discussed to death.

I'm here.

I'd only agree if Steak offers such thing. Steak is fucking weak compared to other lunchboxes.

>strongest
No.
Heavy's power coming from scattering groups and using damage falloff mechanic to endure shots. Even with a Medic you can still be brought down by a Demo, Sniper or -when unaware- Spy. Still, Heavy takes crit damage unlike Sentry, tackled from above and can be downed with focus fire.

No.

Not really. Heavy is pretty vulnerable to airborne targets. Heavy can take a Pyro 1v1 with ease provided he noticed him first at range, but without Medic taking down an Engineer nest depends on how well you took cover from rocket salvo.

When was the last time you saw a mediocre soldier go 100:0?

today

last week when he had two kritzkriegs shoved up his arse on badwater
Couldn't even get out of spawn

This is MEGA theorycrafting, sentries are typically positioned too far away for a heavy to get close enough to minimize minigun spread before getting shredded. This isn't even taking into account rescue ranger, wrangler or even the minigun spinup time.

I play a lot of Heavy and there are very few single sentry situations I can't solve. Anyone who has played more than half an hour of Heavy can deal with a sentry.

If you can't then you are just straight up BAD

Just the other day I took out a heavy with an aussie minigun with a level 1 sentry and the pistol. Heavy is a bad class that is useless without a medigun beam shoved up his ass.

heaver is a fat piece of SHIT remove fat shit bvery bad class cant even do anything just the other day i played him and hes shid. removal of him

>me fighting an 11 year old who has had the game installed for half an hour is proof that Heavy is a bad class

>I play a lot of valve pubs against free account engies with less than 10 hours
I don't think you've even played all the official maps if you think heavy has the advantage 1v1 against a lvl 3 in a not-retarded spot.
Do you seriously think heavy has the upper hand against the balcony sentry in upward last?

a 300 hp brass beast heavy can take down a level 3 sentry even through engineer repairs at medium range

>Using the brass beast

thas probably bad example because he can los cheese that one while standing right next to hp pack

Nobody should do that, it's just an interesting factoid

If the Heavy has managed to get onto the upper balcony, yes

If the sentry is placed on the middle balcony, yes

If the sentry is in the normal sentry spot and the Heavy is below it, no of course not but thats like saying Soldier is bad against Pyro because what if the Pyro jumps down from above the Soldier and the Soldier doesn't notice

speaking of engineers

what to do when there's two gay engineers with the rescue ranger and the wrangler?

Gee why doesn't comp run heavy to mid fulltime then? Or even heavy to koth point at round start?
I guess those dumb old competitive players don't know about all the free wins they're missing out on!

>Gee why doesn't comp run heavy to mid fulltime then? Or even heavy to koth point at round start?
Highlander does.

As for 6's, every league bans the GRU, Eviction Notice and the streak so running Heavy to mid is not viable because of how slow he will get there.

As for Valve matchmaking with no item restrictions, Heavy has become the 6's meta

when quickfix wasn't banned people used to run that and heavy at last

it was awful

>hl

Kill RR engi first.

>the format that forces a heavy at rollout runs a heavy at rollout
You have to be trolling

Well done ignoring the rest of my post. I just added that to point out how stupid it was to say "Why doesn't comp run heavy" because HL, which is unquestionable comp, does

>hl is unquestionable comp

reminder that Tf2 was literally kicked out of dreamhack for taking too long and HL shitters still want their stalemate-inducing crutches unbanned

If you're soldier, shoot at the engineers.
If you're demo, shoot at the sentry. 6 stickies will destroy a full-health wrangled sentry, and you reload your pipes faster than they reload their RR.
If you're anything else, pray.

Or coordinate with your team, maybe get a spy to sap it while you go in. Then their toys become moot.

stalemates = balance

We're here.

Ask us anything.

leave again

its me

natascha was a mistake

yakui bls come back

post spies

let us dance

>TS Bills
>Hat and undershirt are two different shades of red
Why would you do this to yourself?

I wish TF2's competitive used Prime Matchmaking like CS:GO does.

Fighting hackers sucks.

I hate fun

I don't see what the big deal is.
Heavy can easily take down a sentry nest that's being some trouble as long as A. the engineer is alone or B. his team can fend off any other enemy gamers.

Its a lot easier any time the sentry is being a corner because often Heavy can shoot the sentry before it can see him if its close enough.

If its in the open then the Heavy can out damage the engineers repair speed with Stock out of range of the sentry but it takes 150 of the Heavys ammo pool if he is wrenching that gun as fast as possible

>Bots

I made woomy my hitsound

Two bot engies don't wrench to sentry any slower

what's woomy

its the sound a squid makes
