post yfw good balance changes are happening

>This is a work-in-progress; items may change prior to release.
t. can't read

>no changes to the steak and dalakohs

>He wasn't around for the Uber Update or Pyromania

post yfw valve will save tf2 AND get rid of shitters at the same time

someone meme Blaris's heavy please, too lazy to do it myself

>removed damage penalty to eviction notice
this update is gonna be awesome

full image where

>eviction notice will no longer be viable in medieval mode

>Still has the faster hit speed
oh jeez

...

>no pyro changes announced yet
DR and DDS nerfs are nice though

>DDS nerf makes it better against pyros
STANDING

no neps
you die now

>steam is still down

I hate spy but also feel bad for them, those nerfs are harsh

Also they ruined the panic attack, it was fun, now its basically the same as stock.

are you kidding? you can fire unlimited with each successive shot it speeds up. i think thats what they are saying

>play a lot of demo
>still get killed easily with mediocre K/D

>pick up soldier when bored
>get 4:1 on average

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Now fix the caber

>dds is now the counter to brainless scorch shot spammers
i have a reason to equip it now without feeling like an asshole because pyro mains aren't people

>you can fire unlimited with each successive shot it speeds up
were does it say that at all? You pulled all that meaning out of thin air

pyro is going to get ridiculous buffs. i can sense it

i don't
i played spy frequently and felt terrible about using the ambassador+dead ringer, they aren't balanced well

>guillotine no longer mini-crits

Removing the crit on stun, whatever

removing mini crits entirely, this thing is shit now. 30 damage and a bleed, its literally not worth it anymore

>counter
you still get bounced around pinhead

>Shot pattern grows with successive shots (e.g. while holding down the attack button), but resets after you stop firing or reload
i assume thats the only way to make a weapon that gets weaker and weaker the more you use it viable, to allow it to continue being fired for a long time

sent an e-mail to the tf team asking to nerf the diamondback and buff the bison, rift weapons and caber. it occurs to me that i forgot about the bazaar bargain, but that's not such a big deal.

You sound bad, friend.

Crit on stun was the best thing it had going for it. Should have cut the damage down to 35 or something

You assume?
It doesn't say anything about unlimited shots, or shots getting faster
you are a bad man

What do you want done to the Bazaar Bargainn?

why is soldier so easy

i just thought about it
>dds buffed
>pyro is getting more mobility, enough to be close to sniper enough to make this worth using
GOOD BYE SNIPERs, GOOD BYE SPIES

bazaar bargain buffs are an indirect hacker buff, it's unsafe

bb is fine as it is, leave the poor thing alone

12 players + splash against newfigs who don't know how to avoid chokes

it's literally just for flares though

>50% res against fire

>implying pyro isn't getting a flare sniper
>implying pyro flamethrower isn't getting high range
>implying pyro isn't getting a molotov 4th slot weapon to explosive jump

Yeah, the whole point was a potential one shot. Now there's pretty much no reason to use it.

I like the new pocket pistol though, I've always liked the sound it makes but it felt weak.

slight nerf seeing as how once you get a few headshots it's a straight upgrade.
hence why i wouldn't want the thing buffed. it's already too damn strong in the hands of a good sniper.

>pyro is getting more mobility
lol

I want a gas tank secondary that increases his flame ammo

>Weapon that rewards headshots should not reward headshots

>secondary that increases his flame ammo
how boring

How about
>increases flame range
>increases movement speed while firing
>explode on death
>+20% explosive damage vulnerability

that's an overreaction to his post
he said a slight nerf, not to cut its core mechanic

it rewards headshots at first, yes, but once you get them, there's nothing stopping you from hardscoping for a second and a half to get nothing but bodyshots that you don't need to aim for. it's a direct upgrade at that point on the same tier as the eyelander, except even stronger.

>check reddit to see if spy mains are gonna complain til the dead ringer isnt nerfed
>platinum spy main writes an essay
>12 upvotes
>random dude makes a comment about how the DR nerf is good
>33 upboats
maybe reddit isnt as stupid as i thought.......

>DR nerf
>good
It was a nerf to what was already the worst watch. No real spy should have used it in its previous state, and its current state is even more terrible. Valve should have buffed it.

Except it actually requires skill to land those beginning headshots, it's not like the machina.

Reddit babbies are all bad at the game. Thus they are easy prey for DR mains. Thus they are the ones most likely to cry about the DR being nerfed.

mayyybeeee

>The main thing is the GRU : there's many missions with GRU Heavybots, and those bots are going to kill themselves before reaching the hatch. Let's hope it (does not?) happen.

yes, but even the the machina has a few sizable downsides that would prevent a good sniper from considering it as an option. what would prevent a good sniper from picking the bazaar bargain? most of the shots you make and most of the targets you go for can be dropped by a quickscope anyway. the downside is initially negligible anyway, and once you land those quickscopes, there's no downsides at all. other snowball type weapons still have downsides once you snowball to maximum efficiency, like the air strike.

>DR
>worst watch

i see your bullshit and raise you the C&D

>the worst watch
in competitive
so casual play benefits and comp is unchanged
i see nothing wrong here

C'mon now, if you wanted (You)'s, you could have just asked. Have one on the house.

>Hey we want to make players use these items that are never used!
>So we're going to destroy some existing items into never being used

Someone please explain to me how the Sandman and Guillotine were ever a fucking problem.

>no revert to bison "bug fix"

may i have some (You)s please
if no then i'll get them by saying that the sandman-guillotine combo should not have been removed

not user

BB does become strong after the first few headshots but it doesnt provide defensive buffs like eyelander does in terms of bonus health

a BB kangaroo man at full bonus is just as squishy as a stock snip, and will still die in one quickscope headshot

it DOES get stronger over time but it also doesnt let you live longer or move faster like the eyelander does

Didn't you notice no mentions of Pyro changes, when the update is centered around him? They're obviously keeping some shit under wraps.

explain how the bison was worth nerfing in the first place

bonus cookies: no mvm balancing allowed

>the "get into position and be able to wait indefinitely for the perfect time to pick the enemy medic" watch

It should have been buffed to become viable in competitive.
I wasn't fishing for (You)s.

Getting (You)s is easy, watch this.
Sandman/Cleaver takes skill
DR is not an issue, you should just shoot the spy.
If you let a pyro get close to you, he deserves those RS minicrits
Just shoot the razorback sniper, that's what your revolver is for
Gunboats are OP
Iron bomber is a crutch.

t. reddit

i meant in the terms that, once you get all the heads as eyelander demoknight, the -25 hp downside is completely lost and is in fact, completely replaced by even more health than you started off with or would have without using the eyelander. in the same vein, a bazaar bargain sniper will start off in worse shape, yes, but have better charge than a stock sniper with no downsides.

name one situation where using your pistol as a scout is a good idea

Out of scattergun ammo and you need to kill someone who's low.

last one is a fact not a (you) factory. some people just dont want to hear the truth

Mopping up.
Scattergun has a long reload time.

dealing damage to a sentry from a safe distance

this
i'd like to also see eyelander snowball effect reworked. i know this is team fortress 2 but having to deal with a 225 HP demo running at scout speed because of my teams incompetence isnt fun

i dont think a DR buff would make spy much better in comp. he's a class that preys on the other teams stupidity, which is not a factor in comp

>the "leave your team down one player pretending to be a super mario boo to get a pickafter 30 minutes" watch
>good

>vid
only reason that pick on the med happened was b/c of the big earner
and it couldve been done with stock just as easy

If you weren't fishing for (You)'s, you would have been more specific. You're a tricky little fisherman though, so have another. But this is the last one (You)'ll get from me.

They are all facts, friend.

Isn't the changes to gloves of running urgently a straight buff? They can be used as a melee weapon now.

>tfw no busty, scalie fempyro gf to worship feet of

also,
>-30% damage on panic attack in exchange for no random spread

except he will still die in one QS dink shot like a stock sniper
even at full charge

the spy in the vid was able to sit in a low activity corner with CnD rather than roam around for ammo and constantly risk bumping

>ignoring the 50% increase in pellets
fucking dipshit frogposter, youre probably masketta you stupid asshole. go neck yourself.

>Wanting a (You)
What a nerd.
Take this because I agree with you.

50% of 0 is still 0
,'^)

so? i never once claimed that the bb gave sniper more survivability, it's just that once you get the heads, it's a better weapon than stock. it lets you do more damage much faster, and in the case of fully charged bodyshots, with much less effort. you'll still get dropped in one hit by a sniper who's better than you, sure, but that's because it's not dds levels of broken. it's just better than stock.

0 dmg is still damage
:^)

ill give you a (you) friend, i wouldn't want valve to think people actually didnt want it nerfed

I agree with you

who /excited for jungle/ now that the team is actively listening

why is TF2 infested with furries?
how many of you are furries unironically?

>valve
>listening
>listening to GOOD ideas
>ever


>inb4 strange taunts are added because reddit asked for them

pretty sure strange taunts exist buddy-o

general deviance and degeneracy thrive in the community, plus they've been here a very long time
i am not ironically or unironically

I'm not a furry either ironically or unironically. But I am an unironic brony.

SEEEE?????

Not excited at all until the update drops

It'll prolly be just like Binding Of Issac. Year long wait for disappointment

Did you miss the burstchester being released?
