Do we all agree?
>making a tier list in a casual game
Also
>it's not even a list
What the fuck is this shit
What the fuck kind of metric is "efficiency"? Why is the scout "god tier efficiency"?
Eh, despite your bias you're kinda right.
x2 Scout
x2 Soldier
x1 Medic
x1 Engineer
That's pretty much the current Meta for 6v6 and I do think Scout is one of the more skillful classes in the game (if you die to a Scout you died because he had good aim and movement, no insta kill gimmicks or lasting pyro effect etc)
Still tho, Soldier is by no means "scrub tier"
>>338068675
Why does Sniper have a hat while the rest of the classes don't?
>inb4 butthurt soldier scrubs get triggered
you're complete correct OP
>>338069185
>I can't read charts
He said Soldiers don't need skill
>tfw scout main
>>338068675
This chart makes no sense.
How can a class require negative skill to play?
>>338068675
I'd say this is pretty accurate
Pyro should be a little further up in efficiency though
>>338069415
Feels good to know that you main the most skill orientated class, doesn't it?
>>338069536
well, there are no numbers on it, so you can assume it's a 0 to 10 scale, and the X and Y lines equal 5 in the scale
>>338069536
It's a scale from shit tier efficiency to God tier efficiency, where do you see a 0?
in deathmatch this is close
but tf2 is an objective based game
so the shorter the respawn time is, the more completely worthless sniper is, even at a 15 second respawn he is still near the middle, because he never stands on objectives
>>338069728
>>338069734
A zero is implied by the axes crossing that way
If the creator didn't want to have negative values he should have kept it to quadrant 1 (+/+) instead of including all 4 quadrants
>>338069894
There were no whole values at all, he expressed the ranges through verbal descriptions (scrub = easy mode classes)
Now's the part where you drag this on needlessly out of your stubborn ass nature rather than owning up to your fault
>>338070192
>If the creator didn't want to have negative values he should have kept it to quadrant 1 (+/+) instead of including all 4 quadrants
>>338069894
>it's implied
really? I disagree
to me, since it's impossible for there to be negative skill, it's implied that the lines are middle ground, not 0
>>338070305
There's no numerical values at all
I wish I could find TF2 fun again. Silly hats trading and F2P really ruined it for me.
>>338070542
>cosmetics and Valve not charging for people to play the game have ruined it for me
>>338070542
>join a pub after not playing for years

It may be low challenge but destroying niggas is still fun
>>338070690
Having a chat spammed with trade requests and filled with poor brazilians, russians and kids are not fun. Not to mention that the cosmetics are usually just wacky and misfitting to the game's aesthetics.
>>338070963
None of that happens, try playing the game rather than parroting what /v/ says

>>338070963
That mostly happens when you join a fucking trade server, you know.
Most pubs seem rather traderless.
>>338071421
They flat out lie. I recently started playing TF2 again and every server is just as it was. Full of immature kids like any pub online community
>>338071226
>t.Heavy shitter who can't handle a good Scout
It's a fact anon, the meta is x2 Scout for a reason
Soldier
Scout
Medic

That's literally all that matters

>ok

>Soldier
>shit
Gee, I wonder who made this list
This may look like a template, but all of the characters are off the chart in the bottom left.
>>338069415
How many lime hats do you own?
>>338068918
?
The 6s meta is 2 Scout 2 Soldier 1 Medic 1 Demo
Engineer aint really run in 6s unless its last.
>>338071226
You literally got it the wrong way around except from the Engineer and Medic
Offense = Scout/Soldier
Medic = Heal
Engineer = Support
That's literally all you need
>>338072251
I hear it's between Engineer/Demo.
Engineer because they cancel out Scouts really well
GOD:
Scout
Soldier
Demo
High:
Medic
Sniper
Mid:
Engineer
Heavy
SHIT:
Spy
Pyro
What's so good about Scouts and why are they in all the Metas?
Their health is low as fuck
>>338072387
Swap out Demo with Medic and you're spot on
>>338068675
Soldier should be lower than Pyro in Scrub tier.
>>338073434
Nah
>>338072473
You've either never played the game or you're a complete scrub. A good Scout won't be getting hit too much
>>338073517
It's true. Soldier's have the higher skill ceiling, but they've also got the lower skill floor.
>>338073434
lel no
Soldiers at least have Rocket jump which requires some skill to do
not perfect but whatever
>>338072473
In terms of DM they are by far the strongest being able to wipe the floor with everything short of a revved up heavy and engineers.
>>338073709
I disagree. Pyro has the lowest skill flower and ceiling of all the classes imo, maybe not as bad as Heavy but still, much worse than a Soldier in terms of scrub tier
>>338073987
Reflects are actually really difficult to pull off against good players, pyro may not be a very effective class but he doesn't deserve all the hate he gets.
>>338073732
Explain your graph
>>338073732
This is a thousand times better
>>338074128
He totally does. In pubs, Pyro stomps due to their pathetically low skill floor and in competitive play they serve no purpose.
They are a pointless class that only serves to annoy people
>>338074128
yep, i don't hate the class, but most pyros I see are complete retards who don't even extinguish players on fire.

>>338074164
Which part?
DM is total movement and aim needed to play the class effectively (which is why sniper isn't at the top because he doesn't have to move to be effective)
Game sense is positioning, timing, and ability to make good decisions in the heat of battle.
>>338074892
>sniper

Spy is my favorite because he plays so different from all other classes. I'm not saying I'm great at him, but a really good spy is very scary.

From my experience, in order:
>Easy
Medic
Soldier
Heavy
>Medium
Pyro
Demoman
Scout
>Hard
Sniper
Engineer
Spy
Scout and Soldier are literal game changer classes in the hands of a good player, the rest not so much

This.
I've played the game for quite a while and most of the time, it's alright.

>>338075982
This image is severely out dated. The game has reached open testing, and it's fun as fuck. Blizzard actually cares about the game too.
Isn't Pyro reliant on sending back enemy projectiles, having to avoid open spaces in general and having to ambush people, as well as completely fucking over spies by puffing flames every few steps? I find this to be harder than hitting people with rockets then getting cover to reload, or making my grenades arc correctly to hit enemies.
>>338076307
>axes
>>338075651
Far too slow to make a difference. They can take out some random stragglers but in competitive play they're next to useless

You know it to be true.
>>338076307
Literally all of that is correct though
>Pyro useless
Correct
>Scout is best
Top tier meta next to soldier but requires more skill to use. Labled perfectly on the axis
>Engineer is high skill
Requires retarded map awareness and knowledge
>discrepancy between soldier and demo
Soldier is virtually better in every way, it's why x2 Soliders and x1 Demo is the meta and not x2 Demo
>>338076941
Spy is easy only if you play against a shit team. All of that can be countered by any decent player.
>>338076893

>>338069415
>>338069415
>main scout because i like fast characters
>suck at the game and don't contribute much when i decide to play him
>>338073987
Pyro, as easy as they are to play, still have to cop with the fact that they don't have much options for long and mid range, and also get stomped out when they aren't playing any sort of ambush role.
Soldier, on the other hand, has always been the go-to "I'm getting dominated and I need to get a quick revenge" class since the very beginning due to how easy it is to wipe out an entire team with him, to say nothing of a spontaneous critical.
Soldiers are definitely the better class in terms of versatility and overall usefulness, but to say they take more, bare minimum skill to use than a Pyro is asinine.
>>338068675
That does not make any sense? Soldier, demo, medic should all be in top of pro tier.
Are you one of those "frendly" players?
>>338071226
you dropped this
Best: what I play
Worst: what you play
>>338077648
turn down your sensitivity and get a mouse that isn't shit
this is the most annoying area in the game to push the cart.
We can agree on this, right?
>>338076893
Third person. What's the point in playing a colorful, highly accessorized character if you can't even see them?
>>338077762
They are, Soldier, medic, scout and demo are in the most efficient classes, skill wise Soldiers are not hard to use at all
>>338077914
Its the end point on pl_Upward for me
>>338077648
How someone can suck with the stock scattergun is beyond me.
>>338069415
I once won a game for my team as scout
I'm absolute horseshit at this game but it felt great
>>338077375
>Pyro useless
Pyro is consistently the worst class but it isn't that useless and can really shine in the right map and time.
>Scout is best
High skill ceiling absolutely but it is a support DPS and can't carry anything on its own like a soldier can
>Engineer is high skill
The skill is vastly over valued in the graph
>discrepancy between soldier and demo
Demo is undervalued and soldier skill is understated
It also massively over values the sniper. Not to mention, based on the layout the center point isn't an average which implies some objective scoring system that isn't mentioned.
>>338077410
I'll second this along with spy. Stealth just doesn't work with multiplayer, IMO. It removes the confrontational element and makes things less fun.
>>338078048
so you can do obnoxious taunts covered with ugly items to make people even more mad when you kill them
>>338078180

Sniper should be removed from the game tbqh
>>338077914

>>338078321
Ctf is the worst. It's just a huge stall fest. Cp is great though.
>>338078120
the graph is just wierd. You cant have 2 valuables per row. Soldier is in scrub tier, god tier and low skill tier. Scrub tier should be changed to pro tier.
What does "pro tier" mean in this graph? Professional tier? coz then soldier should be up not down.
>>338078214
spy is the coolest class in the entire game and without him it wouldn't have even half the charm
the fact that some infiltrator can walk among your ranks, wearing your name and then turn around and stab the medic which was healing him in the back brings so much to the TF2 experience
>>338078496
I'm sorry i think a long range character that instakills nearly everyone easily isn't good for a short-medium range game.
Actually I'm not, fuck you.
>>338078496
When has that ever been necessary to play sniper?
>charge up
>shoot somebody in the foot
>LOL150DAMAGE
>>338068675
Look at you trying to keep this game relevant, how cute :3
And you have your little contrarian friends here too
Overwatch will pull the life support
>>338078210
>High skill ceiling absolutely but it is a support DPS and can't carry anything on its own like a soldier can
I disagree, their x2 ability on control maps makes them crucial as well as their speed boost for more casual modes like Payload. In capture the flag they are flat out detrimental to the groups success if the group isn't spamming Sentries (if so some good team work can allow soldiers/heavies/demos to destroy the sentries and let the scout pick up the intel).
Scouts are significantly more detrimental than Soldiers in my opinion and 1v1 they have no weakness outside of sentries. Support DPS is also false, they are the highest damaging class in the right hands and a skilled Scout player will beat a skilled soldier player every time.
>The skill is vastly over valued in the graph
Maybe, I didn't make it.
>Demo is undervalued and soldier skill is understated
I agree, but I do think a Soldier is significantly more useful than Demos as well as their skill ceiling being exaggerated by their "rocket jump". They are the most noob friendly class in the game
>>338078910
It will not. All the "pros" will go to overwatch but tf2 is not going enywhere.
>it's a "everyone hates pyro" episode
>>338078981
Scouts usefulness comes down to how many players are on the server. 24 slot he's going to eat a shitload of spam but in 6v6 he's godly. Overall soldier is the most effective class in every situation. Demo is harder to play than soldier but can potentially put out more damage and push faster.
>>338079209
It fucking sucks, and this is coming from a pyro main.
>>338078910
Just like loadout did?
>b-but Blizzard
See Battlefront. It also had a huge beta and died quicker than you can say "meme game".
Call me in a year, we'll see how Overwatch is doing :^)
>>338078910
Fuck off overwatch falseflagger
>it's a "defend the dead game propped up by its cosmetic economy" thread
move on with your lives or at least cash out before the crash
>>338079272
>Scouts usefulness comes down to how many players are on the server
I disagree, Scouts are useful in most server. I do think Soldiers are slightly more useful in higher packed serves (due to their choke-point spam) but in 6v6 Scouts (like you said) are unmatched in terms of efficiency.
>>338075982
>Literal who companies
>>338079117
Nah, Valve are opening "le competitive TF2" meme that will keep the """""""""""""Pros""""""""""""" occupied long enough for Overwatch to run its course
>>338079520
Don't forget outside of 6v6 engineers are much more common and there's little scouts can do about them. Scout isn't a bad choice but he's just not as good without explosives.
>>338079360
>See Battlefront. It also had a huge beta and died quicker than you can say "meme game".
don't all the meme mainstream battlefield/CoD games die faster than you can spit on the ground and curse EA?
>>338078981
Hypothetical: Two matches are played back to back. The first match the team being tested is not allowed to use scouts. In the second match the team being tested is not allowed to use soldiers.
Which match was easier to win?
The obvious answer is the match where scouts are banned. The scouts can do a lot of damage but they need to avoid taking hits to stay useful which means they can't push or hold points. Soldiers put out nearly the same damage and can skirmish if need be or apply pressure and defend.
I agree scout is the second best and definitely has the highest skill ceiling but the soldier is under valued on that chart. It is the core of the team that the scout plays off of.
>>338079629
Are you seriously going to try and argue TF2 is less competitive than overwatch.
>>338079338
>tfw the Phlog is useless
>>338069894
There are no zero values. Since it is explicated that the ranges go from scrub skill to pro skill, and shitty to God, we know that there are no negative values because that makes no rational sense. Therefore, we can conclude that the entire graph does in fact take place in quadrant 1 as you described, and the lines on the axes merely represent middling values. But of course, you knew and understood this immediately when you looked at the image, but pedantposted anyway.
>>338079846
>becomes useful
>idiots cried and got it nerfed to the ground
Such is the standard for TF2
I stopped playing CTF when I realized that 2fort only exists to give snipers something to do
its literally a map for them to circle jerk each other, they dont even care about the ctf part at all
>>338079793
This is straight up theorycrafting though. It's hard to make an argument off of pure speculation.
>>338076161
this is the truth
1) hold m1
2) know where to position
3) know when to uber
win games. simple really. unless noone else has any idea what they are doing and your soldier/heavy are shit
>>338079690
I'll never get this meme, sentries can wreck any class. It's up to the team to work together to wipe out sentries, Scouts will always have their place no matter the server size due to how quickly they can capture objectives and flank the opposition
>>338079845
competitive has nothing to do with any sport. All that matters is money. And i can say blizzard is making overwatch esports unlike valve. Guess wich game the """"""""pros""""""""" are going to pick?
>>338079846
I play a lot of pyro because its fun but i'll admit it has no place in a 6v6.
When the MvM came out everyone and their mother was shitting overthemselves because a phlog pyro could solo a tank when they ignored the fact that you can push bomb carriers back indefinitely with air blast. Fucking plebs.
>>338080101
>he captures objectives
>>338079845
TF2 is not less competitive than overwatch, the skill ceiling is significantly higher from what i've played
Overwatch felt like CoD meets TF2
>>338079793
Nice made up scenario and lel, a good scout will always be SIGNIFICANTLY harder to beat than a good soldier. They can literally wreck Heavies in 3 shots
>>338077552>>338077552
Yes? Highest skill ceiling, dominates the meta, no gimmicks/bullshittery, has the best bantz, best characterization, competitively viable, face of TF2 now, best aesthetics, stars in more SFM outside of Meet The ... videos. He is, quite objectively, the best main.
>>338080160
airblast pyros are the best in mvm. the fact you can shove giant bots into the holes is great.
>>338080052
really? being invulnerable to all damage is OP, not useful
>noone ever ranks personality
after all these years voice commands still amuse me. dom lines make me laugh every time
demo obvious #1
>>338080073
It's not at all, it's simply pointing out that while they are both great and work well together, the soldier is the core of the team and function better in and outside of their intended role than a scout will.
The speculation is this ideal 6v6 match being played in a vacuum.
>>338080227
>Made up scenario
An exercise to point out that the soldier is more valuable than the scout.

An exercise you made in your head as well as its outcome.
Here's an objective fact.
Good Scout player vs Good Soldier player
Scout dominates everytime due to his movement potential
>>338080472
>pyro taunts to use his phlog
>In that span of time, plant stickies on his feet

>>338072473
Scout can 2 shot 8/9 classes and has the best movement in the game.
Totally balanced character.
>pyro will never be viable

>>338080101
>sentries can wreck any class
Yeah right, sentries are a joke to demo and soldier.
>>338078576
It's not hard to read you dumb fuck.
Soldier is pro tier in 'Efficiency' and scrub tier in 'Skill Required to Use'.
>>338080505
>>338080227
In 6v6 soldier and scout play different roles. Both important. Its stupid to argue wich one is better when both are needed.
2xsoldiers 2xscouts
>>338080151
That doesn't make over watch the better game. I'm not defending valve either there's only like 3 people actively working on TF2
>>338080705
95% of players will miss those 2 shots
>>338080817
>6s meta
stale & boring as fuck
>>338080773
Unless sentry bullets don't hurt soldier and demo then they're not a joke
>>338080927
Exactly why a skilled Scout player = Essentially the most lethal class in the game
>>338068675
>people think a Pocket Soldier with the Direct Hit isn't the meta
>>338080664
But that scenario is also made up.
The whole point of that graph was a 6v6 match with both teams playing the meta and no other external factors which will never happen.
The objective fact is a team can do better with no scouts than it can with no soldiers and the graph simply does not reflect that.
There is no need to get frustrated or upset. Scout is still a close second and definitely takes more skill, but that graph over values him.
If we're talking 100% accuracy then wouldn't sniper be the ultimate class?
>>338081056
until a mini sentry arrives
>>338080794
Im a dumb fuck still dont get the graph. I dont see the "pro tier" and "efficiency" coming together. What ever.

Soldier and demo can both hit sentries without even looking at it. What's the engineer going to do? Pick a fight with the two strongest combat classes?
>>338080817
Stupid maybe but the answer is clear. A soldier can do more than his intended role in a 6v6 where a scout can't.
These graphs are presented as objective data but even when you take into account their extremely narrow view of the game they still don't paint a valid picture.
>>338081128
>But that scenario is also made up.
It's not though, 1v1 nothing other than a sentry can beat a skilled scout player.
What tools does a Soldier have to combat a Scout using effective movement?
>The objective fact is a team can do better with no scouts than it can with no soldiers and the graph simply does not reflect that.
Except Scouts very nature (speed for capturing intel, x2 per Scout on control points) denies this """"""""""""""""""objective""""""""""" fact.
Soldiers have none of those benefits other than some meme noob tube tier spams that can catch out scrubs in pubs. Outside of sentry destroying, Soldiers will never carry games like a skilled Scout can and that's due to their very nature/traits and observable bonuses

>>338081165
No, a Scout still out DPS's a 100% accurate sniper as well as moves significantly faster.

>>338080916
Its not about wich one is better. When you think about it its really fuking stupid to talk about this. TF2 is old game with little marketing almost none. Overwatch is a new game with biggest gaming company backing it.
>>338081345
>beat
This just shows that you don't know what you are talking about. You are thinking in pub terms. Beating does not mean killing. If a scout and a soldier meet between a point the soldier wins because the scout can't effectively engage and can't push the soldier. The soldier maintains area control.
That is the reality of a 1v1 encounter in 6v6 and the soldier "wins" that encounter by not allowing it to happen in the first place.
But yeah, if you just join a random pub server filled with people doing their own thing and you find a soldier by himself you are probably going to kill him.

Better? Soldier is better in 6v6 and has the ability to fill more roles. Either way you look at it the soldier is better, even if losing your scouts is a big fucking deal.
>>338082205
People are leaving because it has no support from valve. Highlander is slow and spammy as shit compared to 6s
>>338082541
Yes well valve is against weapon and class bans to begin with so they will never support the classic 6v6 format. Same with traditional highlander. However, that is not the reason they are dying. It is because the metas are so boring and stupid that nobody will play nor will they watch this trash.
>>338082765
Meta is boring in most games. In cs you have pistol, rifle, sniper and cheaper versions of those weapons. Its bretty boring but still the 3rd popular game there is.

Stop you're killing me m8.
pyro used to be viable when last I played though I heard they nerfed degreaser/flaregun combo. either way I think it's better than absolute garbage tier. and soldier arguable has a very high skill ceiling, even though it is the first class you git gud with. and putting engi that high? I don't see it. both his standard weapons are actually really good, his movespeed is a comfy stride that makes for smooth aiming but still lets you kinda dodge and be strategic. placing the right turrets isn't that hard.
but you're kinda on the right track though.
>>338083564
>What's stopping soldiers from killing medics and snipers?
A good sniper will destroy a Soldier before he touches him due to their slow speed, no rocket jump will save them from an accurate sniper. As for Medics, the reason Scouts are good against them is because a great scout can be in and out of a group and take out the medic before the team can even react. The soldier would likely need to sacrifice themselves to take out a guarded medic.
>Maybe if the heavy is retarded and can't aim.
A scout can take out a heavy in 2-3 shots. A great scout would beat a great heavy providing his movement is on point and he flanks him (which is what Scouts should do). The heavy would be dead before he knew it.
>>338083614
Kek, forgot that the atomizer got banned, pathetic. Sodliersbabbies truly are the worst.
>>338077874
I'll probably get a lot of shit fro this but here I go:
How the hell can you use low sensitivity on your mouse?
When I was a kid, some older guy (probably trolling me) said I needed to have the fastest DPI's possible so that I could point faster to the enemy with little movement.
I know TF2 isn't exactly a competitive pro tier shooter. But how can low mouse sensitivity be the way to go When I'm sitting at 6000 DPI's and be above average?
>>338084721
>A good sniper will destroy a Soldier before he touches him due to their slow speed
Soldier can tank his shots though, scouts can't. Its about the same.
>The soldier would likely need to sacrifice themselves to take out a guarded medic.
Soldier can take out the medic AND his pocket in the same clip. You're forgetting this is a pub and there are chokes. Being able to push through spam is invaluable and not something scout can do without help.
>scout can take out a heavy in 2-3 shots
You do realize heavy has 500 dps revved up right? Heavy can miss 4/5th of his bullets and still kill him.
>>338085614
>Soldier can tank his shots though, scouts can't. Its about the same.
2 body shots Soldier is dead, 1 headshot and the soldier is dead. So no, the soldier ain't tanking shit
>scouts can't
Scouts don't need to tank, good movement, flanking will always have a Scout destroy a sniper.
>Soldier can take out the medic AND his pocket in the same clip. You're forgetting this is a pub and there are chokes
So now we're talking pubs again? Make up your damn mind.
>You do realize heavy has 500 dps revved up right? Heavy can miss 4/5th of his bullets and still kill him.
Did you miss the "flank" him part? You know, the biggest way of playing Scouts? Flank him and the heavy will be dead before he manages to turn around
>>338084862
Lower ingame mouse sensitivity, not DPI.
High DPI, low-ingame sens.= better accuracy
>>338086862
But isn't 6000 DPI still too much? It's the maximum my mouse allows.
>>338069415

Woah dude, you're like... A badass or something
>scout is the best class in the game
>also the most boring
inb4 memes about going fast
>>338086948
At that point, it's honestly about muscle memory. Only you, can really decide if your aim is improving or not. Try lowering your DPI a bit and play like that for a while. Once muscle memory has set in, you'll be able to tell if you performed better at the lower DPI or the higher one. I personally play at 3000 and .75.
>>338086092
There's no way a sniper is going to land a full headshot on a RJing soldier. Its either going to be a full bodyshot or quickscope hs.
The flank is going to be well guarded with 24 players. You NEED that extra health and splash to get through.
First post I made I said 24 player servers. Unless there's a 12v12 comp format I don't know about that's going to mean pubs.
You're assuming you'll catch the heavy by surprise. Heavy survives solely on his situational awareness. If he isn't paying attention anything can easily kill him so that's irrelevant.
>>338087595
>There's no way a sniper is going to land a full headshot on a RJing soldier.
A scrub sniper can land body shots, there's zero recoil in this game anon. The sniper is a real easy mode class restricted by their shit tier movement potential. A skilled player would destroy a Soldier 1 on 1
>The flank is going to be well guarded with 24 players.
Not at all. Scouts regularly get far behind the enemy lines due to them moving so fast that people seem to ignore them. This is pubs we're talking about, right? if so then you should know how effective Scout flanking is.
>You NEED that extra health and splash to get through.
You really don't, a good Scout won't be getting hit at all.
>You're assuming you'll catch the heavy by surprise.
A good Scout ALWAYS catches their enemy by surprise, you're literally flipping around the map for fuck sake running on top of roofs, ledges whatever is on the map, how good "situational awareness" do you expect to see in a Pub match?
>>338088125
>a good scout is literally invincible & matrix dodges everything + he's a ninja and nobody ever sees him cus hes 2 fast

Yes a bodyshot, a headshot is a different thing entirely especially with source engines shitty netcode.
>Scouts regularly get far behind the enemy lines due to them moving so fast that people seem to ignore them.
What giant open field of a map are we talking about here? Orange X3? Scouts cannot avoid all chokes. 5cp maybe but that shit never gets played on valve servers you're more likely looking at dustbowl and badwater. Good fucking luck sneaking bye on those.

Netcode is fine in my experience, 2 shots from a scrubby sniper + zero recoil = dead soldier

Any map. Take:
Gorge
>Numerous walkways that the player can use to flank heavies on the ground
Doublecross
>Sewer system that the scout can exploit to get behind enemy lines
>Crouch jump from the bridge on top of the sniping cabin in the enemy base, use that to wait for heavies to begin rushing and get them from behind
2fort
>Sewer system
>Middle bridge roof that the scout can run across
Sawmill
>Numerous roof tops that the Scout can traverse
Virtually any popular map has numerous ways that a Scout can exploit it
> Scouts cannot avoid all chokes
What chokes exactly?
>>338068675
Scout mains are the most cancerous playerbase. They always ignore whatever the map objective is, either be intel capping or kart pushing and go around the map trying to pick off kills. As if that wasn't bad enough, they always come complemented with a lime/pink unusual, shitty miscs, and overly expensive farmed killstreak weapons. Bonus points if they are a horsefucker, which they almost always are.
>>338078124
Seconding this. the offense should have at least one strong perch that would put the enemy team out of position if they tried to reach it. The problem with upwards last point is the hallway across from spawn is easilly accessible on the enemy team and people can just defend from there to the choke point.
That and sentries are a fucking nightmare especially if they have wrangle and rescue ranger.

Scout was the class I used from the start but later gravitated towards soldier and demo for their utility, self reliance and soldier especially takes good map and surrounding awareness, weapon switches and ammo manages, etc. class for people that best understand the game and know when to do something
Scouts are spergy, adhd and have lower thought processes like go to the intel / next cap point. It's an extremely straight forward class for hyper active children.

Oh look another one that doesn't play at a high competitive levelAt a high competitive level there is a reason why Soldier, Demo, Scout, Medic and Scout is picked. Because the others are either to situational or slow the game down. Pyro would actually have been played if he had slightly higher movement speed and faster flamethrower projectiles. He is a great utility class that could become a viable competitive core if Valve just fixed these problems.

You are retarded, Backburner is hard to pull off correctly against decent players. They will either have a good awareness or just turn around, its fine on maps where you can be sneaky, but backburner overall is slightly underpowered at the moment.
>>338097715
By that logic Spy is completely useless, since backstabs are 5000% more difficult to pull off than Backburner attacks (and Axtinguisher backstabs are 500,000,000% harder to pull off than either). Backburner is a ranged auto-aim backstab, and it makes no sense for it to be more powerful than a backstab with a immilation requisite combined with no disguise advantage.

Soldier's downside is long downtimes and heavy reliance on medics. He burns through health incredibly fast getting to the front, using jumps in combat, and just general self damage from spies who are determined to butterknife you and pyros with no S key.

Oh its not like he can hide around the corner and still hit you 4 times because his weapon covers huge AOE range.
And with scout you really cant even touch healthy soldier. One rocket sends you flying into the air, second one finishes you off. He doesnt even need to aim at you, just on the ground in proximity with you
OP trash
>>338100238
he's not the best in every category just above average.
scout beats him in fights
demo beats him in dps
heavy beats him in health
engineer beats him in defense
sniper beats him in range
etc etc
Soldier's biggest downside is he struggles to stay in fights. Heavy can just hold down M1 and mow down the entire enemy team. Soldier effectively has 2 rockets to work with saving the other 2 for jumping in/out and the shotgun which both take an extremely long time to reload.

>what are medkits
something you have to fight 8 other people for and you are usually the slowest.
>Oh its not like he can hide around the corner and still hit you 4 times because his weapon covers huge AOE range.
Okay then don't stand next to the corner? Heavy is a defense class if you're sitting in choke he has to come to you and his options are limited.
>And with scout you really cant even touch healthy soldier.
It's the other way around.
>One rocket sends you flying into the air, second one finishes you off
Then don't get hit? If you have good aim you can do 50/60 damage to him consistently at medium range giving scout plenty of time to dodge anything he throws at you. If you try and hug a class who can literally aim at his feet and one shot you obviously he's going to win. Use props and air strafe and watch him fumble trying to hit you.
>>338100864
he doesnt need to excel in one category to be be super good. His tool kit is more than enough to dominate the game alone.
Honestly my main grudge is with his ridiculous splash range. If I woke up tomorrow and every soldier weapon was replaced by direct hit I could die a happy man
Pyros that don't know what right click is are shit/scrub tier. I was just in a match where a pyro let a phlogo+medic wreck the team because he didn't know what right click did.
>>338101451
>it's the pyros fault that a phlog medic combo won the match
I kinda wish I wasn't stuck with medic all the time, the only reason he is my second most played class because nobody plays him and a team needs a medic.
>>338101379
>Honestly my main grudge is with his ridiculous splash range
You say that but even with his splash range he's regularly shit on by scouts.
>>338101691
we must play completely different game because all I see is the opposite
>>338101659
He could at least had the courtesy to push the crit phlog, he let the combo walk right up to him. I only got top of the scoreboard for my team because I got the point first and got a few kills at the start of the round.
>>338101795
Scout vs Soldier in comp the scout is the one who usually comes out on top. There is very little a soldier can do if the scout keeps his distance and takes his time killing him.
>it's a 4 spies 3 snipers pub game
>none of them are good spies
>there i always one godly sniper that's carrying the team that the other two are trying to copy
>>338101795
stop playing pubs? scout/solly is one of the best matchups in this game
>>338101926
>comp
Maybe. I cant really comment on that because Im a dirty pubbie who plays on 32ppl servers
Hows the balance in 6v6? Does it make a some classes/builds irrelevant?
>>338101926
I get how this happens, but can't the soldier just pull out his shotty and back off from the scout?
>>338071383
edge/10
>>338102343
Pocket is the one who usually has shotgun and he's got constant overheals so scout 1v1s rarely happen. Roamer doesn't have that luxury and has to rely on rockets. Also scattergun does more damage than the shotgun.
>back off from the scout?
yeah good luck with that
>>338076893
TC maps
>>338102534
>roamer
so gunboats? can't he just rocket out then?
>>338102070
>play spy
>do good
>2 teammates immediately switch to spies
>compromise my game by game by suicide rushing sentry nests
why is this a thing
>>338102302
Eh they all have some use. Pyro and spy are arguably the worst because pyro is only useful for holding down M2 and running at the combo to block their uber and spy is just a worse sniper who's only advantage is nobody expects him to be used.
>>338096843
>Battlefront pulled similar figures in its Beta
>not even hitting 5,000 players in under 1 year of release
Call me when Overwatch lasts a quarter as long as TF2 has and will carry to do
>>338102649
>can't he just rocket out then?
He can try, doesn't mean it'll be successful. Scouts are very difficult to run away from (obviously) and it can cost your team the flank.
>>338102724
>2 teammates immediately switch to spies
every fucking time.
>playing invis watch
>never making sight, keeping the hysteria down and always disguising as allies out in the open
>bunch of chuckle fucks with deadringers
>>338100787
>And with scout you really cant even touch healthy soldier.
Nigger, what? 1v1 nothing outside of a sentry can beat a good Scout player.
A scout is literally a soldiers weakness, you literally can't die to a Soldier unless your movement is complete scrub tier or he gets a lucky 1 shot kill.
>>338102912
Adding to this, why does no one disguise as an ally.
Honestly NO one disguises as an ally even with a deadringer. It's so fucking strong.
Was the baby face blaster change that bad? I thought not using your jump ability was a neat restriction.
>>338103198
unplayable. I really loved it because it gave you an advantage over enemy scouts. Now a random engie/scout pistol completely fucks you over
>>338103198
jumping doesnt matter when you can dodge at sanic speed
>>338103198
it's fucking garbage now.
like 100 odd damage to get full charge, 25 damage to fully deplete it.
And thanks to valve never changing the game more than once a year it's going to suck for a very long time.
Fuck valve nerfs. They're the kind of nerfs you'd do if you're actually changing the game.
>>338101274
>something you have to fight 8 other people for and you are usually the slowest.
Why do pubs never have any healing etiquette?
>teammate on fire
>medic not healing him
>pyro not airblasing him
>let him have the medkit i'm waiting to spawn even though my health is red
>it spawns
>heavy at 299/300 with pocket medic grabs it
>>338103491
Going SANIC does have disadvantages though.
>>338103662
It is even worse when you run into pyros that don't know what right click does. Yes, there is still some that dumb.
>>338103662
>mfw I was healed by a sandvich heavy today and I wasn't his pocket medic
yeah the community is fucking garbage half the time. Still nice players though, just a lot of them lone wolf it and think about themselves only.
>>338103824
>It is even worse when you run into pyros that don't know what right click does. Yes, there is still some that dumb.
I've had to whip out my mic and yell at them to right click me. Took me two tries but they figured it out and they got some health too.
seriously that health thing was over due.
>>338102934
I know rockets are shit against any scout who actually understands his air game but the shotgun isn't that bad. It's not a good matchup but it's not a guaranteed stomp.
>>338075785
Go play your expensive MOBA. Or wait, is that screenshot from Battleborn or Overwatch? They're the fucking same thing and they're shit. TF2 is less shit but at nearly 10 years old it's much better than Battlewatch.
Just stopping by to say that Soldier has an extremely low skill floor.
>>338104257
sniper is the lowest
>stop playing around 2011/2012
>come back
>most of the weapons I had are gone
what happened? i had pretty much all the weapons pre man co. update and even some of those too.
>>338068675
what the fuck is this shitty ass chart
>>338104401
Sniper has a higher mechanical skill floor, but the absolute lowest floor in terms of positioning and situational awareness.
>>338104257
Who doesn't, though? Spy?
>>338104826
No he doesn't
>Charge up bodyshot
>Hit anywhere on them
>Instant kill half the time
Sniper is effortless
>>338083420
pls no bully
why do these games always shit on the spy-type character? monday night combat did the same shit
i just want to run around and gank people
