TF2 fags complain about OW's loot box store but they will literally defend being able to buy in game weapons with money.
>>
>>339633710
Does being freetoplay lower your chances of getting ebin hats? I never get any.
>>
>>339633987
No. It's very rare for anyone to get hats from a drop.
>>
TF2 also has a trading system, you can get any weapon in the game that isn't strange or whatever for like 3 cents
>>
>>339633987
Yes, the drop system is different for F2Pers.

>>339633710
you can rent a weapon for free, and you can trade any two weapons for any other weapon easily if you try.
>>
>>339633987
I don't think so

they just rarely drop

unusuals never drop if that's what you're asking.
>>
>>339634118
>3 cents

or you can just get them free for a scrap. You can trade for any weapon (excluding reskins) for a scrap from trading robots
>>
Except all unlockable weapons are objectively inferior
>>
>>339633987
>>339634086
>>339634171
http://www.teamfortress.com/freetoplay/faq.php

you are mechanically less likely to get hats on a F2P account
>>
>>339633710
TF2 is also free, Overwatch is 40 (60 on consoles) dollars.
>>
>>339633710
>OW gives out boxes for each level up with option to buy
>TF2 is rng with option to buy
>OW boxes for free and give 4 items
>need to pay $2 for a key to open one crate and get one item
>limited inventory that gets filled up by crates and you have to buy more space
>>
>>339634265
Almost every class has multiple melee unlockables that are unarguably better than stock
All of Engie's shotgun unlocks are better than stock
Direct Hit and the Airstrike are side-grades

I could list more
>>
>>339633710
Are you retarded? You can buy ALL (And by that I mean 130 something) unique weapons through trading for the equivalent of $0.50.
>>
>>339634265
except for melee weapons. There's no reason to use any of the default melee weapons (except spy), and most classes achievement melee is great.
>>
>>339634498
you don't have to buy backpack space

I keep getting expanders on drops
>>
>>339634265

>>339634426
>>339633987

You can't get hats from drops as a F2P.
>>
>>339633710
But on the flip side, how much money would you have to send to get the skin you actually want?

Leveling slows way down and the free stuff comes to a trickle if not a complete stop, vs tf2's random drop system

and in tf2 you can rent any one item at a time from the shop indefinitely
>>
>>339634846
and if you can't find it in a trade or for sale on the steam market you can buy it directly from the store, which is a better option then being completely at the mercy of rng to get what you want

forgot to add that
>>
>>339634634
Explain.
Now.
Otherwise I call bullshit.
>>
>>339635013
and I forgot about crafting, another way to get what you want' albeit the long way around

>>339635183
buy something on the market worth about 50 cents, translate it to metal thought trades, trade for weapons using the metal
>>
>>339634265
Ambassador is great if you can aim.
>>
>>339635183
This obviously only works if you are premium

>Buy 5 refined metal from marketplace.tf (will actually cost $0.60 my bad)

>Go to scrap.tf and buy each of every weapon (not including reskins and unlockables)

And if you want "free" premium, just buy a key from the mann co. store and sell it on the market.
>>
>>339633710
>buying from THE STORE
Ayy...
I have only seen kids do this, everyone else goes to play the jew game with tf2 backpack and outpost. The economy is fucktarded nowadays to even try unless you wanna spend months with multiple iddling accounts on a second job that nets you a $5 profit!

Previously anyone could play the game and with in a month trade up to a valuable item starting from zero. You did not have to do anything special either. Just play the game, craft, go into servers with people who did not know any better and you could trade weapons for hats, and hats for better ones.

Then you could trade that for keys, and then keys for videogames with the famed gentleman Vlad Cheeki Breeki. I got about 3 games from tf2 keys.

Since 2014 the economy shifted and the metal to key ratio skyrocket, there are too many shitty items in the pool to make crafting as viable, and the game just is not fun to play anymore. Playing the jew game is way more time consuming than it was before to the point it is easier to just buy a handful of keys, trade them around and get your lime meme scout gear ready for the next pubstomping match. The time you saved can be used to do freelance commissions or whatever you can accomplish in 4 hours to get more money and ignore trading altogether, and that is how trading died.

I often give weapons away to the squeakers that ask for them
>>
>>339633710

Did anyone ever buy a weapon from the store?

It's so much more cost effective to buy a key and then trade around.
>>
>>339636094
That's very nice of you anon, props to you.
>>
>>339633987
just scrap together like half a dollar and buy and mvm ticket or whatever is cheapest nowadays and then sell it on community market, 50 cents for 300 inventory slots and not being mocked for F2P fag is basically free. Especially cause you can sell whatever you bought on market with like a 10% max loss.

Quality post. Again, dismissed.
>>

Retard.
>>
>>339636609
Instead of saying dismissed like a dumb redditor maybe have a conversation.
Subjective means preference, since either weapon is equally viable.
>>
>>339636851
Same goes to you. I sure know your argument now that you've called me a retard.
>>

I can stomp you with any of those weapons.

Both the Direct Hit and Airstrike reward you for being the good at the game, The Direct Hit rewarding good aim for more damage, and the Airstrike rewarding you for getting kills(sacrificing 15% damage for DOUBLING your clip and becoming a fucking nuke when rocket jumping is well worth it)

Considering you aren't good at the game, I can understand why you'd think they aren't very good
>>
play for like 15 minutes and you'll get a drop, then you can just use the trade bots
