Nerf Disciplinary Action, Escape Plan and Ubersaw desu

third for fuck minisentries

just stand more than 2 feet away and shoot them with your gun

but the DA's longer range....

take another 2 steps back

>Nerf Escape Plan
Only if they buff the equalizer to do a boatload more damage
I want to 2-shot a heavy again dammit!

It's not about that. They are buffs to some of the already strongest classes in the game, thus hurting class balance and weapon balance. Soldier's Half-Zatochi for example never gets used because Disciplinary Action and Escape Plan are too good to pass up

mentioning the counterplay is like saying to someone "just dodge scout and shoot him with your gun when he drinks critacola". obviously no weapon in tf2 is without counterplay, but that doesn't make it balanced

NERF UBERSAW

DO IT

NOW

First 5 or 8. Loadout drawn.

NEIN

Right now Equalizer is actually pretty balanced alongside stock, it's just boring.

I think it should have some sort of passive downside (like reduced max HP) in exchange for a flat damage bonus.

Taking 2 steps back from the Disciplinary Action does nothing about the enemy team using it to boost their Heavy to mid.

I will never not whore myself to drawfags

You and Viva both

NOW
O
W

Ubersaw is fine, the others one are too weak.

They should just create a nice effect to the others.

...

...

...fuck

i hope this is bait

Don't draw it. Its literally the first line of google images for "Pyro loadout"

Test-running a weapon from the Mann Co. Store for the first time will give the player a contract for that weapon. Completing this contract will give the user a normal-quality version of that weapon.
The normal-quality weapons are stored in the inventory alongside Stock weapons, so new and F2P players won't be forced to buy backpack expanders in order to play the game the way they want to.

Players can now opt to join Community Servers through the Casual Mode menu. Only Community servers that fit certain requirements can be joined. (So no trade_minecraft, achievement_idle, instant respawn 2fort etc.)

Random item drops are now based off of exp gains from Casual Mode, rather than time played.

>Ubercharge build speed multipliers now apply to all equipped weapons, not just the Medigun.
>Ubersaw now gains 20% uber on hit (25% with the Krtiz, 22% with QF, 33% with the Vacc.)
>-20% swing speed replaced with -20% damage

>Disc. Action speed boost increased from 3 seconds to 2 seconds
>Consecutive speed boosts (within 10 seconds) are 50% less powerful
>Extended Melee range only applies to the speed boost, uses normal melee hitboxes for damaging enemies

>Escape Plan
>When marked for death, you are visible through walls to enemies (also nerfs GRU to mid)

Bonesaw and Amputator aren't "too weak", how do you justify that?

It's exactly as strong as the melee weapons of 6 other classes, and even when Medic only had the Bonesaw back in the early days of competitive TF2, he was still the single most VITAL class on any team.

It's not like Medic relies on having Ubersaw to be viable-- he's already the best class in the game.

There's no reason why we shouldn't nerf Ubersaw instead of buffing all the other options, which would take more time and effort.
>-20% swing speed replaced with -20% damage
I don't like this because it's literally the downside of the Amputator.

The point of weapon unlocks is variety, so my advice is give it a downside that no other Medic melee weapon currently has.

>When marked for death, you are visible through walls to enemies

Still doesn't balance the weapon. The entire reason Escape Plan isn't balanced now is because you can simply choose to never pull it out except when it's most advantageous for you, and avoid all the downsides the rest of the time.

Escape Plan needs a passive downside to be balanced.

>-20% swing speed replaced with -20% damage
that would make it better

A law of Jumanji having been broken, you will slip back even more than your token.

Really makes you think

Yeah, I already tracked down the source of the image and saw that he'd been offline for 10 hours, so he wasn't posting his own loadout.

Thanks man, drawing looks great!
Good to know my loadout is interesting.
Don't know why you made it the OP image but I'll accept it

...

I can't take credit for it being at the top of the thread.

alright lads

is there any way in demo recording to record in 5.1 surround?

I can't seem to get it to export the WAV into anything but 16 bit stereo.

no

Band jokes.

...

Alan Parrish is out of the Jungle on both a five and an eight already.

...

...

amazing, thanks

...

what does that even mean

Haven't seen that hat in a long time.

of you play spy you have to wear gibus

When did huds become popular in TF2 ?
What were the first custom huds?
>have to aim at stickies to det
>have to wait a fuckton to det
it might be useful defending last but outside of that its like not having a secondary
the only guy I've seen that thought of it as viable is tehbridgetroll who came up with this crazy rollout for it
youtube.com/watch?v=u-axKN_oR9U

o shit I remember that guy
does he still play tf2?

POST SPIES

Post a less ugly HUD

I like it aside from its default green which looked bad with the red outfit, much better with team spirit on it

mkhud best hud desu

>le microsoft windows and exxboxx squares
gross

What does this have have to do with Microsoft or xbox?

I don't understand.

of course you don't

Thats a slick looking spy my lad

Wow man you sure showed me.

What a cool dood B)

>finally get a decent match
>roommate starts downloading porn
I'm done with multiplayer games

>not being neat homelord without work&necessity to study some stupid boring shit
get the fuck out of here boy

?

i said get the fuck out of here boy

Would if i could, stuck translating shit and studying right now. Will probably be free in about 3/4 hours, but i guess eevrything will be over by then

>Ubersaw
25% slower draw speed (takes longer to pull it out)
Now it's slower all around and you might have to think twice about whether to defend yourself vs running away
I guess it would make uberchaining/Uber extending harder which is a little anti fun/anti skill

who even plays this dumb class

getting on casual and sniping shitters with amby is always fun

what am i doing with my life

posting on a sumerian clay tablet board

that's totally okay

so, what does exp in casual mode even do?

changes what your badge looks like

sending you in the matches with other autists who like grinding

>They didn't even make an unlock-able hat or two for reaching certain levels

why is volvo so fucking shit at supporting their games.

Page 10

epeen
and makes shitters cry "lol enemy team has all reds"

it's hilarious how that update didn't give any xp to returning players

having almost 3k hours and level 14 feels pretty dumb

Well it's not like they tracked your progress before mym.

The xp really means nothing but I do like the tracking of stuff like healing, damage, ect.

...

pow-pow stick

Boomstick

YEET

I have a licence to shoot all long headed niggers.

gay and unoriginal

Hey now

no fucking shit sherlock

Even as an ironic joke it's gay and unoriginal. Unless you're ironically being ironic.

How about you ironically suck my dick?

>gay and unoriginal

it suits you pretty well then

Will ask later for description, I'm a dumb mobileposter.
By the way, does that name fit in?

fucking anime

...

Happy Valentine's day to you to robot *muzzles ur chassis* =w= *notics ur roborection* OwO what's this??

Gotta be innovative bro.

What if we get the nade launcher shotgun from D44M in tf2?

The stats would be something like this

>30 clip size penalty
>10 slower firing speed
>shoot a grenade with m2, grenade travels in a n arc and deals 70 dmg on a direct hit, max splash dmg is 30
>shooting a nade eats up 10 ammo
>after a nade is shot it needs to be recharged like the cleaver

shut
up

talk
louder

when they set up class limits for casual can they make spy and sniper's limit combined and 2
that would be nice

and no pyros

helo
???
