Okay that's arguably pretty stupid, but it's not like TF2's hitboxes are perfect. Look at the engineer's waist which occasionally allows bullets to pass through harmlessly.
>>
>>340421057
The huntsman does have a dumbed down hitbox but it's not nearly on the same level as Hanzo. It can't hit behind corners,for starters.
>>
>>340419086
As someone who plays both TF2 is more skill based.

Overwatch is about knowing when to press Q and what hero to play as.

A cast of 8 white men and a nigger have more personality than 21 different archetypes.

TF2 glorifies gore and doesn't take itself seriously. The dialogue never leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

OW takes itself very seriously, and not a drop of blood is ever spilled. The dialogue is pretty awfully written as well. With characters like tracer and reaper, Blizzard must be either incredibly detached from society or they expect their target audience to be 8 year olds.

Both require team coordination, but as a whole overwatch is much easier to play for someone who isn't good at videogames.

If you're talking about retarded hitboxes in tf2, there's the flamethrower which will hit anything even if you're having a seizure. But even then it's arguable because they're fucking flames and the pyro is a noob filter.

I have 4000 hours on tf2. Obviously I adore it. Still I feel that Overwatch is a progression on everything tf2 does. It is the closest we will get to a tf3 and it is awesome. Every minor gripe I hear about overwatch or negative comparison to tf2 can be addressed with the answer that it is brand new. If you remember vanilla tf2 when it first released you will realize that overwatch is bound to improve and become more versatile in time also. You can't really compare a game that has a 9 year head start with a new one. That being said overwatch is incredible even in its present form.

While I love TF2, it is admittedly casual in the sense that I could never take it's competitive scene and general high level play serious at all. Then Overwatch came along.

I like both games a lot, but I LOVE TF2. TF2 will represent an era in my life. Meanwhile, I honestly see myself being done with Overwatch by the end of the year unless Blizzard release a fuckton of maps and provide the tools for users to make and play their own.

The problem with competetive TF2 is that it is very difficult to get into. The game flow in 6s is very different from pubs and it takes a lot of time to get used to it. Also you have to actively seek out leagues, pugs and lobbies.

I hope that official matchmaking will ease people into playing comp tf2.

I just found 11 vanilla nocrit servers by putting in the "nocrits" tag into the server browser. And that's in the EU alone, NA should have way more servers.

>>340425021

12v12 is a clusterfuck, there's no way that it would work as a competetive format. Since Valve didn't really support comp TF2 the community tried out every possible team composition and picked 6v6 as the best one.

If you have 30 minutes of spare time, I recomend you watch the final map of the i55 upper ladder finals. It really shows why 6v6 tf2 can be amazing.

Yeah, that's exactly why they are shipping out updates every couple of months that add new maps and weapon rebalances. And that's also why they are adding 6v6 matchmaking this summer.

TF2 still has an active playerbase 1.8 mil players. Valve still makes a shitload of cash from this game, there's no way that they will stop producing content for it in the near future.
>>
>>340426265
>>340425701

Also, Valve hasn't given up on it at all. They implemented the matchmaking beta not-so-long ago, and currently they are working to get a full release on it, contacting with people from the current Tf2 comp community (b4nny).

So, yeah. If you don't really know about both games but just about one, don't try to post why the one you know about its so much better.

I'll admit that both game are great in their own right.

Although personally I feel that TF2 always has something to master. There's a progression to get better. Sure this is to some extent in Overwatch but most of the characters are linear and only have one play style.

While I do enjoy Pharah because she's closest to Soldier, she feels pretty stale playing with both of their mechanics. I enjoy rocket jumping in tf2 and strafing to dive bomb enemies. That shit is satisfying to pull off.

I just personally enjoy tf2.

Overwatch, if not entirely for its potential.

It actually has the potential of getting updates and new heroes.

I really dont like the latest trend in TF2 updates, being all content from workshop, play2play contract events so you can pay more money to open up cases that have terrible items in it.The items are terrible on purpose because of the new tiered case system, meaning you're going to get 5+ of the same merc grade item in a row. They completely stopped adding things to crafting recipe, and stopped putting hats directly in the mannco store directly so you're forced to play their shitty uncrate game if you just want one of the hats.

The tiered case shit got so cancerous that the last Scream Fortress update, most classes didn't even get an item. I really don't see a bright future for TF2. I bring up scream fortress because they didn't even fucking bother to make a SF 2015. They just recycled the old stuff and told us "play the old shit again we're working on other things".

Fuck Valve.

I have 3,000 hours in TF2, have been playing it for 7 years. My friend bought me Overwatch because he was super hyped about it and it a borderline Blizzard drone.

I don't get invested in victories in Overwatch. If I lose, it's whatever, if I win, it's whatever. If I push the cart at the last second and win in Overwatch, most of the time it feels like dumb luck rather than accomplishment.

Also I think Overwatch does a horrendous job of conveying information to the user. And the stupid fucking health bar above your enemy is just the casual cream on top of the casual cake.

6v6 standard matchmaking level up is also just literal cancer. There's no casual join a server and fuck around as Sniper or Spy or whatever. There's no server browser or community to just go and chill. It's tryhard from the moment you join a server.


The one thing I'm glad about with Overwatch is that it forced Valve to wake the fuck up and fix TF2 finally.

Most TF2 maps have tons of verticality too. You can rocket jump across half the map and get the drop on some clueless idiots. Nadejumping as Junkrat, or trying to get some distance as Pharah, is nigh on impossible because most of the time your arc is limited. Junkrat's stickyjump is such a weak feeling piece of shit compared to the demoman. In general I prefer the movement in TF2. Then again I remember hating the fact that TF2 didn't have conc nades while TFC did.

tf2 is better because the classes have a better chance against each other

and tf2 has more game modes, more maps, weapons to slightly modify each character, more input from community, a (slightly) less greedy and mercantile owner

I mean there's some benefits on both sides, but OW has years to go before its as good as TF2 is right now, its floating on novelty for the moment but they are at risk of collapsing

First off, fuck you I like cosmetic items and customization.

Second off
But "Just play you moron" side of updates suck too.

The maps they take off the community workshop and add to the game tend to be poorly made/optimized, new weapons are nowhere to be seen, instead of work on shit people actually want we get fucking Mann Power. Why the fuck does mannpower exist, its apparently "Out of beta now" but its still fucking shit.

They wasted time on Mannpower when Matchmaking is still pretty rough and unenjoyable, pretty much all the hype for TF2's Matchmaking is dead.

Plus, Overwatch literally JUST came out. Of course it's going to be popular. People are being paid to shill it 24/7.

TF2 is also in the middle of its annual update drought; players peak during the summer when the summer update hits. I'm not sure what your point is posting this. It doesn't prove anything.

The only outright bad thing about post hat TF2 is the chargin' targe, the sandman, and basically all the annoying shit scout has now.

Being a kritz medick is suffering when you see 4 demos on the team, then realize they all have targes when I have a full meter, and none of them ever change to take advantage of it.

Why the fuck do you not want crits on demand? Even if you mess up it's better than the literally nothing I have to kritz right now.

Haven't tried OW yet but that's the feeling I get from watching the cartoons they release. With all those flashy animations, there just doesn't seem to be any character behind them.

I remember when tf2 was out some time and I discovered the Meet the Team videos and they were the things that made me hype as fuck to finally buy the game. 1600 hours and 7 years later I still rewatch them from time to time to boost my mood.

Even made me learn to play the guitar so I could play the Engineer guitar solo. Overwatch just doesn't seem to have the charm to make me do something like this.

It was so graphically intensive for the game it frequently loaded improperly when released, resulting in Walls and bridges not loading. Its been touched up but it still drops frames on mid tier PCs, I know you might be running the god tier of gaming PCs, but not everyone is. This is the map that I first think of that shows how far TF2 has gone from its Minimum specs.

I've seen similar issues reported on SnowyCoast and a few others.

This is just the worst map I've ever played. I dont know how it got approved into the game.

Are these going to be the new "dota vs lol" threads? Anyway, let's look at the OBJECTIVE FACTS:
TF2:

>higher skill ceiling through physics/mechanics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7jelqvvzxE
>better dialogue and writing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzZ6GrRTgrM
>minimal visual clutter by design (eg- Spy's face mask indicating his disguise to allies)
>lots and lots of content and customization available
>highly moddable, level editor
>game settings have many options to get it working the way you want
>many balanced maps on offer
>dated graphics and performance
>Pyro and Spy are underpowered in serious play

Overhyped:
>40 dollarydoos
>lower skill ceiling, very few heroes that are in any complex or difficult to play at their highest potential
>uninspired dialogue and writing: "die, die, die"
>only content/customization available at this point is stock maps and LoL-tier skins
>unmoddable, no level editor
>options are limited
>all maps are flawed in design and contain single chokes such as Temple of Anubis
>fresh graphics and performance
>it's hard to pin down a "Worst" character on the Overcrotch roster

The only factual advantages Overwatch has over TF2 are graphics and competitive class balance. In every other area - cost, skill, dialogue, readability, content, moddability, options, map design- TF2 is the better game.

Additionally, TF2's daily player count did not change with the release of Overwatch, and it retained its position as the third most played game on Steam. Check if you don't believe me.

It's not like it matters much. Even if you are a godtier huntsman player, huntsman is still outplayed by a fairly decent sniper with a rifle.

I like how you cut the part of the video where it shows Widow flicked directly on 76's head

>>340432381
This, ffs.

TF2, objectively and irrefutably. But I still like OW.
>>
>>340432115
Just go Soldier,Demo,or Spy and destroy them yourself. Hell you can even do it with an heavy if you're good.

>meanwhile roadhogs hook is not only hitscan, but has aim correction so hooks that would miss hit instead

Overwatch is so horrendously designed for a AAA game it's mindblowing how people can even defend it.

>>340432193
Intentional shitty design

vs

Oversights and Glitches that will never be fixed, even if reported.


Why does anyone play either of these games.
>>
>>340432323
Widowmakers can't. It only works above the enemies head. I did some testing myself and found that above headshots with her will hit, but side headshots (around corners) has a much tighter if not single pixel hitbox so you can't pull bullshit around the corner.

Still bullshit though.

Keep slurping up that Blizzard cock.

That's why pub TF2 is so fun. You can have 6 people playing the game, 3 just fucking around playing sandvich heavy and 3 afk in spawn. And the game is still fun.

>>340432605
Barely anyone is. Only the hardcore shills. Large majority dislike it. No one here barely defends it and the videos displaying it on youtube have a large majority of people attacking it.
>>
>>340430529
But the Overwatch classes are just dumbed down versions of the TF2 loadouts.

>>340432605
>aim correction
You're talking about latency issues/lag comp anon

>>340432734
I'll keep having fun and you can keep saying why the game I like is shit and how nobody should enjoy it.
>>
>>340432897
Then why are there millions of people playing the game? You'd think that they would wise up after a few matches of Overbotch.
>>
>>340432337
What map is that webm taken on?

Because if you're using bot kills on tr_walkway or other tr_ maps as an example, you're showing a problem with those maps, not the game. tr_maps load their bots with t-pose hitboxes and normal visuals, making headshots register on bots in what appears to be the wrong spot. It's a well known custom map issue, not a game issue.

Pre-Hat TF2 > Overwatch > Current TF2

My opinion is fact.

>game grumps
Lets plays are all incorrigible cancer. Fully agree.

>content
No the question is which is better. Overall. Your right, tf2 still has more content theres no denying that, the fact that we have to speculate on content we arent actually promised just means that maybe its just bad to compare the two games

>shorts
Subjective judge all you want, i cant argue against your opinion, but he did not predict the dragons short. He guessed hanzo would ult. Thats it. Everything else you could easily guess from the clip shown in the dragons teaser. He could not be more /v/ incarnate

The one with the cute butt.

>>340433047
Of course, go on and play your game. But don't try o defend it.
>>
>>340433104
You can literally do this right now if you wanted to in any map. It's not a map issue, it's a shitbox issue that based Volvo will never fix because they could not care less about TF2 right now
>>
>>340433025
>You're talking about latency issues/lag comp anon

No, I'm talking aim correction. There is a set area around your reticule and if an enemy's hitbox is even slightly within said area the hook will hit. It's around 1" in width.
In other words the hook doesn't travel in a straight line. In fact it doesn't even travel since it's hitscan, nor do you actually need to land direct hook on enemies.

This is designed to allow even the shittiest of players to land hooks. This is how Blizzard designed the entire game, so even the biggest shitter idiots will be able to have "fun" and be successful.

This game doesn't really reward skill. Instead it tries to make everyone feel like they have skill.

Engineer crotch is most likely getting fixed with the comp update and especially because a youtuber made a video about it recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si2YGyURTio

flamethrower is kinda fucked true, that situation in the video is literally never ever happening in a real game though
