Opinions on the latest TF2 patch?
>>320738105
Haven't been able to check it out yet? Give me a run-down, /v/.
>>320738295
Pyro is completely worthless now, Demoknight got some nerfs, Sentry got a small nerf when getting sapped.
>new weapons are literal reskins because valve can't bother to model shit anymore
this is a joke
>>320738397
What have they done to pyro now, niggas been shit for ages
>>320738528
They turned the Phlog into an OP piece of shit and nerfed the Degreaser and Axtinguisher into shit.
>Charge'n Targe...give it fire immunity!
>REEEEE
>okay nevermind take it away again...
Why do they even care about balance THIS Much? It's still fun to use weapons, but i think they should focus on making new weapons rather than trying to balance all the gimmicks
I WANT IT
I got a Strange Factory New Brain Candy Minigun yesterday and I can't use the fucking Market until the 1st so by the time I'll be able to sell it it'll be worth 5 fucking dollars

Why are they forcing Miss Pauline into everything?
>>320738665

Yeah, as if Pyro isn't shit enough already.
anybody who's been playing since hats were introduced is an idiot
>>320738692
Forgot my pic
I wamt this thing so bad
>>320738105
People keep telling me that puff n sting combo is dead but i've been doing it all the time since the new update. Also dat phlog buff.
Phlog gets uber when he turns on his buff.
Miss Pauling's a cutie. :3
>>320738641
the degreaser/axtinguisher combo has been overpowered since release. Literally for years
>>320738805
Well they certainly are trying to kill it.
>>320738665
afterburn goes away if you charge
"People still play TF2?"
>>320738105
Doesn't really matter because i use LMAOBOX
Can't wait for competitive to come out
>>320739009
it was never overpowered, everything else pyro was underpowered because it is still a bad class
I'm loving it because of all the salt generated from Pyros upset that their OP combo has been nerfed
>Take the only fun sword
>Remove what makes it fun
>Buff most useful class
>Nerf most useless class
>>320738397
>Pyro is worth
>Now gets heals from extinguishing allies
>Now has less damage falloff at range so their flamethrower is even stronger
>No more damage penalties on alternate flamethrowers
>Phlog now makes them immune to dmg while activating so no more blowing the cunt up before he goes mega-crit/full heals
I bet you're one of those faggots who uses the Axtinguisher as a crutch for your lack of skill, since that thing got nerfed to shit while everything else about them is better than ever.
>Demoknight got some nerfs
Where exactly did they get a nerf, other than Sword draw speed? All shields now deal damage at all ranges and crit % builds up based on how long you charged, with a guaranteed crit at full charge, and spoilers: Not all of his weapons are swords, he has an axe, a frying pan and others. True Demoknights are actually DemoPans. Caber demos aren't demoknights, they're suicide bombers and yes that got nerfed.
>Engie will never ever get another sentry change like the mini-sentry or even wrangler
why live?
>>320738414
>anymore
lol
So much for new guns.
All we are going to get from now on are shitty skins nobody gives a fuck about.
Patching this cadaver is completely pointless. It's way too fucking late for anyone who originally gave a shit about the game to come back and play it. I know nobody who still plays it, and my whole friends list used to. The biggest joke was that the biggest part of the update was the focus on new cosmetic items before we even got any patch notes or news about the new maps. AND THEY'RE COMMUNITY MADE.
TF2 devs have the best job in the fucking world, just let the community make your content for you and sell it, taking the majority of the profit for 0 work.
>haven't played in months
>play for 5 minutes

The magic is gone friends.
>>320739337
That picture is wrong. Pyro has a fuckload of weapons and Engie doens't need more "weapons", he needs new buildings and alternate PDAs.
>>320739105
>animeposter being nothing but human trash
Oh boy
who would've thought
>>320739060
Yeah...and I get it, that's a better mechanic. It makes more sense...but...
All these weapons were fine at their best. Make them all Over-powered, and if someone complains, buff the counter class just a little
Like instead of Fire Immunity on the Charge'N Targe, and Pyros complain..then make it so the Axetinguisher, when hitting a Demoman, drops their Charge meter to 0, and the Sharpened Volcano Fragment could be the only other weapon to cause fire damage to a Demoknight.
See, these changes are cool and don't harm the weapons
>>320738105
Vaccinator is a lot better now, I can actually get charges in a reasonable amount of time.
>>320738938
This is the most bullshit thing in TF2
FOR
WHAT PURPOSE

>Can no longer be headshot
>Can no longer be airblasted
>Can no longer be debuffed
>Can no longer be backburned
>Can no longer be sticky trapped

It was one of the only drawbacks the phlog had.
Seriously suck my fucking dick, Valve.
>>320739462
>the magic is gone
This exactly. The magic was in playing with the same people though. I used to play with a group of people for years and that was fun an heck. But then most of them became hardcore bronies and pissed off to their gay horseshit roleplaying servers so fuck them.

The weapons look pretty nice and the balance changes are pretty good, though I'm a little bitter because I like demoknight.
>>320739909
>But then most of them became hardcore bronies and pissed off to their gay horseshit roleplaying servers so fuck them.
jesus christ what. Most of the people I played with just got bored and fucked off.
TF2 is still alive?
>>320741005
Sadly
>>320740476
Demoknight was always by far the worst loadout in the game, why the fuck they nerfed it I'll never know.
It's a fucking MELEE class in a game where everybody else has guns.
It's like playing a Common Infected in L4D. And they fucking nerfed the thing that made him even ALMOST not a joke. Valve seriously has no idea what they're doing. They should have at least increased the health and speed cap on the eyelander, or made the boots do something better. I don't know why they aren't even trying to sidegrade the shields and boots, the launchers are both amazing weapons.
When will Volvo implement CSGO style of map picking so it's easier to search and play the maps you like instead of picking categories like KOTH and you get some shitty map like koth_suijin?
For fuck sakes, they already copied CSGO's operations, weapon skins, and cases. Just let me select the maps.
>>320741297
Demoknight was OP if you knew how to use him.
Almost every direct hit was an instant kill, and with the eyelander + tide turner you'd gain health, speed, and charge recovery for each successful kill. You could easily chain kills.
>>320739183
>Puff 'n' Stink pyros
>not overpowered
Have fun getting airblasted into a corner and hacked to pieces. Or if you have afterburn immunity, you'll just get puffed in the air and have the reserve shooter shoved up your ass
>>320741383
It already is an option.
Go onto Multiplayer, go onto gamemode, go onto view servers.
>>320738692
Just trade it for keys and sell those nigger.
Still waiting for that matchmaking update.
Any day now.
will I command more respect if I get an unusual hat and australium medigun with sheen?
>>320741587
I mean selecting maps across gamemodes. So I can pick cp_badlands, koth_viaduct, pl_badwater, and then just hit "Find Game" to load me into one of those maps.
am i the only pyro main who uses the stock shotgun a lot? its fucking ridicolous
>>320741854
stock shotty is seriously underrated
when I actually played TF2 I sometimes used it more than the flamethrower
>>320738105

>>320738665
>Why do they even care about balance THIS Much?
Competitive and Overwatch, it's funny how they started paying attention to TF2 only when something else started to look dangerous.
I don't have a problem with no more weapons (except for Engi), I prefer balancing instead of them throwing more shit weapons at everyone.
>>320739337
Jesus this picture is ancient
>Grant Goodeve is back
cool
>>320741730
Any sort of unusual will get you respect. I unboxed an unusual flame thrower and the whole match afterwards I had pyros following me waiting for me to die so they could pick it up and youtubers following me around trying to get a good look at it
>>320741854
I use stock flamethrower and shotty, super great
>>320738397
Great Job Volvo
If you're having trouble killing phlog pyros you might actually be retarded.
I'd agree that it's fucking annoying as shit to fight in most cases but he has to way to fucking hurt you outside of his flamethrower range while it's active, just back the fuck up and reload.
If you're:
Scout: back the fuck up outside of his range and kill him when he stops taunting you have a massive range advantage if you're using the pistol and he can't catch you if you run.
Soldier: reload your rockets and back the fuck up out of his range and kill him when he stops taunting he can't reflect rockets.
Nother pyro: Kill him with your shotgun, stall him with the scorch shot or just run and make him waste it.
Demo: Set a sticky trap slightly in front of him since the uber lasts like a fourth of a second after he finishes taunting or just fucking pipe him since he can't reflect.
Heavy: Back the fuck up and mulch him before he reaches you. You do about the same damage as him during the crits but have better range and more HP.
Engineer: Crits don't effect buildings, if you're doing minis you have no excuse since the combined damage of the sentry plus your shotgun/ pistol should fucking destroy him.
Sniper: Charge up a body shot and knock him down to 25 HP your team or your SMG should finish him.
Spy: The uber actually kind of fucked the spy but you can still probably revolver him to death of you get enough distance.
Medic: Run away, you're faster than him.
This all assumes 1:1 fights but since this is a team based game you have even less of an excuse when your whole team gets fucking wiped by the phlog pyro. Turn off your bukake nightcore Tomas the tank engine funny meme song and listen for the pyro's taunt sound then focus him.
If anything they may need to make the crits a little harder to get since the recent flamethrower buff made all of them do way more damage.

I just wish it wasn't the actual smissmas update.
But besides that, I like how some of the gameplay changes are global like the faster weapon switch speed. I'd like if the team did more changes like that.
I'm also glad more people are using the Panic Attack now. It was good before this patch but now it feels a whole alot better to use now.

>>320742435
The problem is that more people are playing Valve servers.
I don't know why they like them so much, they're not as active and have plenty of players that leave the server with only 8 or less players in it after a map/round or two.
Even 24/7 servers with 24 player slots are more fun then regular Valve servers.
>>320742584
It isn't. Smissmas 2015 Mystery Gifts are dropping but you can't do anything with them right now.

>>320743175
Valve servers are consistent.
They actually have people playing in them, and if they don't their quickplay option makes sure to dump people in them pretty quickly. Most community servers sit at 12/24 bots for entirely too long, have shitty ads, and are usually just 24/7 dumpsbowl or other shitty maps.
The playerbase isn't even that much better in community servers either, most pubs in TF2 are pretty much decided by the top 3 players in the game and how many of them are on the same team.
>>320743204
Except 5cp and AD share the same cp_ map name and sometimes I want to play random maps but filter out shitty maps and do this across game modes. There's literally nothing wrong with the CSGO options which lets you select what maps you want to search for.
>mfw pubstomping with 2 friends with Phlogs

>>320741530
>the close range class can kill you at close range
No shit, mouthbreather. Every other class can outrange and backpedal against him.
>>320738105
I haven't played too too much in a long time and it just seems like every update now they add stuff that you have to pay for in order to even enjoy it, like I mean correct me if I'm wrong but you have to now pay for a thing to be able to play the thing that gets you the box that you have to pay something else to unbox? This is really fucking silly now. So what this means there's no random Christmas box drops for just playing now?
Not to mention the fact that I don't own a smart phone means they forced onto me a trade waiting period.
>>320744554
they charge for stupid reskin bullshit, not actual content
>>320744697
too bad stupid reskin bullshit is almost all of the stuff they add these days, if they even do that. I guess it's nice to have balance changes.
>tfw entire team including me goes phlogs
>literal genocide, the team cant even open spawn doors without getting roasted to a crisp
thanks valve for breaking this game again :^)
>>320744629
With puff sting it was more like
>the close range class is GUARANTEED to kill you at close range
Airblasting someone into a corner and meleeing them with a one hit kill axe in the span of half a second is not difficult to pull off or fun to play against. There is no good counter for it short of knowing exactly where the pyro is at all times so you don't get flanked. Even the scout and spy(the classes built around being in the enemies flank and sneaking around) can be denied after catching someone off guard depending on the player's skill. With puff and sting you're dead as soon as you're airblasted, no class can deal with it.
All they did now was transfer the damage over to the flamethrower part of it, he can still kill people well at close range but he has to work for it like every other class.
>>320738105
This latest update means I'm leaving TF2. It was fun while it lasted but I can't believe the dumb bullshit Valve has been pulling for the last few updates

Honestly I've had enough of Valve's bullshit, I even feel like they might be trying to slowly kill of TF2 since the last few updates have been so fucking stupid. I'm selling all my shit and getting the fuck out.

Market Gardener was honestly a little OP
It was one of those items that was supposedly balanced because bad people couldn't use it
>tfw friends no longer play TF2
Recently got back and it sure sucks dick i can't fuck around in MvM. At least pubs are populated but going solo ain't fun, most of the time.
And dam, new phlog is unexpected. It wouldn't be too bad if everyone could go super saiyan, at the very least, for a short period of time but only Pyro can.It's actually been my first time playing sniper ever and holy fuck was it comfy. Had 3 other good snipers and we were just a death wall of "nice shot m8".
>>320738397
And then,people ''tried'' the phlog.
>>320746069
Not even true though m8, it was only 'good' when used with the ranger, which got nerfed slightly as it should have
The jag turned a shit boring class into something I've wanted to play since day 1 and it was actually fun. Fun is hard thing to grasp i understand.
Mini-sentries are for faggots, but guess what? it's all you'll ever see from any engineer who wishes to be slightly offensive once again forever and ever. So enjoy that
Don't play engineer much, he's not even in my top 3 but anyone thinks these nerfs are justified is just flat out retarded
>>320746734
>It was one of those items that was supposedly balanced because bad people couldn't use it
Pyro has consistently been balanced entirely around bad people being unable to deal with it.
>>320747719
this
Look at the new pyro update: Using the degreaser/axtinguisher was pretty hard if you were shit or F2P, but if you could use it it was powerful. But wait! With this great new update, the only useful weapons are flamethrower or phlog, so even the most useless cunt can do well while the more experienced players are godlike.

Anon you have more understanding of the game than the standard player just by saying that Phlog is only difficult when pocketed.
People straight up run into Phlog Pyros and still can't deal with afterburn in general.
>>320749126
Dead Ringer got buffed a bit, think it grants 75% initial damage reduction instead of 50% so you might survive some more.
Stock still master race but i do have fond memories of Dead Ringer when it just got released. At least it's not C&D with which 99% of people crouch walk all the time.

Also don't bring shame to the Heavy with your shitposting. He already has enough stigma to deal with.

Agreed. For new players, this update must feel like hell on earth.
>>320749874

>>320742231
I understand why, but it's hilarious looking at how few weapons classes like Spy and Engineer have in comparison to the other. Spies still only have one other option for sapping. The blatant favoritism for Soldier and Demo is just annoying.

A 43 kill streak is not too unfeasible in pubs but this would require playing very safe and boring(Staying near spawn on like 2fort or some shit) or having a medic on you as a Heavy or Pyro in a very bad game of pubs(Like Valve servers or something)I put Pyro there because for some reason lots of pub players can't deal with him at all. He also doesn't have to reload, he just needs ammo drops so this makes him more "mindless" when going on a kill streak against bad players.

Air-Strike was a little too good, it's fine now.
Also the biggest injustice was them completely destroying the Claidheamh Mor. Nerfed and changed. Good god why? It wasn't even that good.

I remember playing pubs on first day and people didn't even know what DR was, you pretty much always had a get out of jail card. Some people even thought spies were hacking or admins giving themselves god mode or some shit.
>>320749769
Previous DR was so bad you couldn't survive a single crit rocket? Damn.
But is DR even usable now? Most people seem to check for that shit but granted i don't play spy often because there is always no less than 3 spies already.
>>320750031
Could you explain why you think that sentry change was good?
>>320750031
>Half Zatoichi nerfed severely for no reason whatsoever, basically made useless
This one hurts me real deep. I always used to run the zatoichi, it was just so exciting to go on a tear as solider then get that melee crit and be back at full. It was also the only demoknight I ever wanted to play.
>>320750031
>Air-Strike nerfed for no reason

What'd they do to the Half Zatoichi, though?

Yes, that's the point. The downside was, a pair of good players or a single sentry could wreck your shit.
It made Demoknight fun.

It's good for both Spies, who now get a half second extra and were in desperate need of some sort of buff to their destructive abilities, and keeps mediocre engineers from dying by accident when their gun reactivates.

Of course heavy destroys pyro. That's fucking obvious.
>>320750748
>m-muh puff n sting ;C
Anyone who actually wasted time switching to hit melee instead of just flamethrowering the guy down is actually an idiot. At the very least shotgunning your target is acceptable, but pulling out your melee to score a free kill and run the risk of being caught with your melee out when your flamethrower would have killed him faster is just a dumb move.
>>320750921
This, valve maps rotate constantly
>>320750748
It was balanced but unbelievably boring to play against.
What I really miss tho Is gas jockey,saharan spy and can't be headshotted sniper In sniper only servers.
Good times.
>>320750879
>Pair of good players

>Single sentry
That's what your grenade launcher was for.
Not that it wasn't fun using something like the Half Zatoichi and getting full heals off any kill and absolutely infuriating any Pyro or Soldier you killed, but I would assume it got nerfed because Valve finally decided people complained hard enough.
>>320750995
It took longer to kill a player with a flamethrower than switching to the axtinguisher and getting the kill then switching back to the flamethrower.
You can't get caught with your pants down because the switch time was literally so far that you had no noticeable downtime between weapons.

You might go unappreciated, but I'm always giving you a nod here Heavy-bro.
>>320750995
Flamethrower didn't kill them faster dingus, that was the whole point of pulling out a different weapon. Even with weapons that the flamethrower did more DPS than it still made sense to pull it out because the burst from the other weapon still meant they'd die faster since less damage in a shorter period can still kill faster than more damage over a sustained duration.
Also weapon swap speed was so fast you couldn't get caught with the wrong weapon unless your reflexes were just abysmal.
>>320751098
Also what I mean when I said
>They don't exist when a Demoknight is allowed to shine at all.
is that Demoknight of any kind would get destroyed by a pair of good players no matter how you look at it regardless of sword/shield/whatever
So if a Demoknight was doing good, there was no good players to go up against in the first place.
>>320751096
But it was amazing to play as. It was always a rush getting a good airblast and hearing the crit sound and the kill register
>>320751268
This
>>320751268
Heavy-Medic combos are still the strongest thing in the game at most skill levels.
>>320751098
>Single sentry
>That's what your grenade launcher was for.
Which is why the honorbound aspect was perfect. Because once you took it out, you committed to it until someone died. So if you fucked up, missed a kill, or did anything wrong, you were stuck with it.
It was perfect.
>>320750589
>people using auto-reflect hacks
Reflecting is really fucking easy dude
You sound like one of those faggots that gets headshot and thinks the other person must be hacking, what a little bitch
Just use your shotgun, it fucking pounds if you don't suck
pyro is the smartest played as a DM class rather then flank, why go head on and die by range when you can spam scorch shot into the crowd until your rage bar fills up and only go into the crowd when you have kritz. You leave after words and repeat the spam until the next rage bar. Ive had much more fun doing that then just spamming airblast and flaregun.

>>320750589
>auto reflecting hacks
Thinking now, there must've been tons of mad soldiers I've left behind in my pyro days.
I got the timing of the rocket launcher down perfectly cause I also played soldier, so I knew the time between each shot when the soldier was holding the fire button down. So I would predict the firing time and then airblast a few moments before he shot the rocket, doing a insta crit reflect, almost always killing the soldier on the spot.
Always felt good to do it.
>>320751760

>>320751761
Airblast is actually just broken. It fucks up momentum in a way that makes no sense and reflects things it shouldn't
Tf2 is a broken as fuck game
>>320751268
Different Heavy player, but I'll carry entire pubs on my shoulders sometimes. But the feeling is mutual, even if we never even speak to each other, it feels good getting some jolly co-operation in with another competent player.
>instantly get wrekt by the plethora of bullshit you need to watch out for and also having zero mobility to dodge it
This feel, mang. I basically pop around every corner with my minigun revved or swooce in from above if possible.
>go sniper to relax at 2fort for a few minutes

All this time i thought you had to follow their head with your crosshair but you actually make it so their head enters into the dot.
>>320752119
Sorry to break this to you, but it's called "leading a shot". Good job finally figuring it out, though.
>>320752026
I guess because it's unfair since the team is typically down when the first cap is taken, so it gives them a second to regroup.
But that's bullshit. It's just because whiny admins are tired of losing in a humiliating fashion.
Also, I remembered another I got kicked for:
Destroying teleporter entrances, because they equated it to spawn camping.
>Valve makes their own rarity system, instead of just letting the community decide what skins are good
Fuck this shit man, I looked at all the skins that I wanted to get, then checked their rarity and they're all assassin or above. That's some serious bullshit
>>320752119
theres two ways to snipe, its easier to predict where they are going to be but actually tracking if your good enough is devastating.
>>320752960
For being fair the community is full of bronies and MLG kiddies, of course it's a no brainer putting rainbow grenade launchers or purple lighting sniper rifles as the ultimate rarity type of skins.
Hell, thank god it's that way, I can get the good skins for dirt cheap while faggots pay 10+ bucks for their shitty ones.
>>320751268
OP here, thank you for the appreciation, you deserve it too. For me, rocket jumping is just not my strong suit, aka i suck at it. I respect players who are very good at it. I takes a lot of practice being so higly mobile.
>>320752478
I kinda knew about it but never really paid much mind to it because i couldn't hit shit at first, thought it was more of a secondary method and not for me.
But after committing to it results came fast, feels good.
>>320753083
Wish i could track like a pro but that stuff's very high level. Doubt i will ever reach because it's soul crushing to play sniper when you know you could pick something else and have more chances of capping them points\flags, not like anyone else cares though. Wish i could pick sniper when my team already has 6 of them without giving a fuck and just go and train my aim.
>>320750210

No, Rainbow is just objectively the best color.

Even if they add competitive for TF2 it won't change anything especially with overwatch looming and their refusal to update TF2 with source 2.

>>320756320

Yeah, heard that a few times. Usually it helps to ask "so you don't like winning?" or some stupid shit like "you salty, m9?"
Thing is, i don't care what somebody says about the way i play.
If somebody annoyed me, i respond after the we win the round, calling my team hacking tryhards, "how dare you to win, you fucking tryhards?"....
I actually like that kind of bs, it adds some fun and makes winning even more rewarding.
But i am not always top scoring tho, sometimes top, sometimes in the middle ranks.
>>320755396

Also I can tell by the start of the video that he's a soldier main that only uses gunboats. If you don't want to get your rockets reflected use a shotgun nerd.
>>320758301
not really.
>>320758398
care to give a reason why axtinguising a falling, burning player for a crit is worse than shooting him with the mini criting reserve shooter?
>>320758301
>just blasting him with rockets as a soldier
First off you need to be able to reliably airshot with the rocket launcher, and depending on who you're playing against they may actually air strafe to avoid it.
Secondly, you're wasting two(or more) rockets on a kill when you can just use one rocket and a mini-crit shotty blast, rockets are much more valuable than shotgun shells so you're putting yourself at a slight disadvantage if someone else comes around the corner and picks a fight.
>>320758045
