I still find TF2 better. Overwatch is fun and TF2 right now is filled with retards so its hard to have fun in Tf2 these days.

But if Tf2 still had some good servers then id probably be playing that more.
>>
>>341025651
Most people here would be completely burned out on TF2 right now. It's well past its glory days. There will never be anything quite as relaxing as going on a 24/7 2fort server and plowing bad players, though.
>>
TF2 is a much better game in its current state. It offers loads more of good content and is completely free, and has never had to deal with the weight of being comp focused. Bonus points for less cancerous community
>>
Currently, Overwatch.

Team Fortress 2 could've been balanced better so that you actually have to focus on working as a team instead of being a one-man-army scout/soldier, but it's not like anyone cares about the balance and gameplay anymore.

Team Fortress 2 was a better game at its prime, but that time has past.

TF2

I can jump into OW, get into a MM game in less than 10 seconds, play with decent players of the same skill as mine, and have fun without shitlords sperging out
Every time I try to play TF2, I have to search for at least 10 minutes for an active non-valve server that's not plagued with bronies and autists, automatically get put on the team filled with F2P children, and lose horribly while an army of neon green scunts unleash 10 different Strange effect taunts after every kill.
>>
TF2 feels better to play and is a better spectator sport. OW is very fun, but the Widowmaker-centric metagame makes watching it a fucking chore. If I wanted to watch and play a competitive format where it revolves around a sniper, I would go back to TF2 Highlander.

TF2. But TF2 has been tweaked for like 8 years. Lots of people here don't remember a time before air-blasts, ammo filling cloak, etc.

Overwatch is good. but it still needs work done on it to be better than TF2. Also I refuse to consider it better than TF2 until it adds an actual server browser and mode support. I'm not saying it needs it. But if you want me to compare it to a competent shooter that has all that and is like a decade old then it needs that to be considered better.

The only factual advantages Overwatch has over TF2 are graphics and competitive class balance. In every other area - cost, skill, dialogue, readability, content, customization, moddability, 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.

TF2>Overwatch in pretty much every game play component.

WITH THAT SAID

Since Overwatch is still a babby, most classes seem viable. At the very least, Overwatch feels like a greater portion of its cast can perform compared to TF2's.

Seriously, Pyro, Spy, Engie, Heavy, and Sniper are leagues behind the core competitive four. Even Demoman seems a distant fourth compared to Scout, Soldier, and Medic.

This shit's gone unnoticed because pubs are full of shitters, but competitive mode will shine a light on TF2's imbalance. Either Valve gets their shit together or they'll soon realize that waifu skins outsell quirky hats.

They are defense and pick specialists, they aren't supposed to be good all the time. Heavy, engineer, and sniper are all very strong when they don't have to move very far to get into position.

If they had as much mobility as the offense classes the game would slow to a crawl because it is extremely difficult to push into these classes and they shutdown aggression and flank plays.

How does that change the fact the game needs outlines? You can't see a fucking thing with particle effects everywhere and everything blends in unlike TF2 where it's easy to read red and blu on orange backgrounds.

>Anybody who is decent in comp will tell you scout is the best, most impactful class in the game.


No, scout scouts are impactful because they just dive for picks 27/7 and chance to get away unlike there dive bombing roamer

They are the most "impactful" because of there class roll in close games, but if your demo sucks you are just going to get rolled because the other team with just out dps you with their demo who can aim

also scout is the 2nd easiest "comp" class and is definitely the most braindead to play

demo will never not be what makes or breaks your team, been like that scene day one

As dictated by the meta.

You don't have to add mobility to add utility to the niche classes.

Of course, spergs who have literally thousands of hours in TF2 won't accept any buffs or nerfs that affect the superiority of stock weapons or the current meta. Valve either has to turn their head to these clowns or their ancient game will finally die.
>>
>>341038746
Ever since demo nerfs, invite demos rarely get over 300dpm and are mostly just important on mids.

>dive for picks and get out
If you are playing a team that has a half decent flank you aren't going to be able to get close to the combo to get any meaningful picks. And a scout out of position will 9/10 times get killed by the pocket.

Overwatch lacks a non competitive social interaction time waster layout. No "cancerous" 24/7 payload race where the objective doesn't matter and it's just 20 idiots goofing off with all chat on killing time before they have to do something.

I'd say TF2, sadly TF2 did not age well and even worse with all the Valve shit added but it's overall a much better game.

Overwatch has so little content, so little features and obviously all the money goes into making the short videos, "E-sports" and marketing instead into the game.
Even if Overwatch is a fun game it's not really going to last long because it's way too casual, little content and no depth at all.

>muh skill ceiling

Overwatch has mechanics not based entirely on aiming at a much higher freq than TF2.

Overwatch also requires a different type of skill than TF2. It's like people that have really amazing aim in games like CoD or Quake etc... then get into CSGO and get ass ripped because aiming isn't even half the battle there.

TF2 is also old as fuck and has been in maintenance mode for like 3+ years now? Valve doesn't give a shit about it, and the amount of work to create TF3 and turning it loose on a saturated market isn't worth it.

Holy shit I don't think I have a smug enough anime girl to react to how fanny flustered you are but I sure as hell can try.

Overwatch's artstyle is fine, everything fits the motif of "futuristic superhero with robots" and you can't prove me wrong.
>>
>>341039784
They have been saying this shit for years.

>it takes a 20 man team more than a month to create a match making system.

Let alone considering that game developer is the fucking pioneer of a lot of advanced match making shit in their games (csgo / dota2).

You are being lied to retard.
>>
>>341039927
I'm a "Weab" and even I find TF2 to be the better game.
Overwatch is just your typical Blizzard game, super casual and shallow.

It might be fun to play for some months but it gets tiring really fast.
>>
>>341039867
Now now anon, I see where you are coming from.

But TF2's artstyle is also somewhat inconsistent in modern times with unusual effects and strange cosmetics out the arse.

I mean, it's not nearly as bad as OW, but keep in mind that TF2 ain't exactly perfect either.
>>
>>341026885
Mod support literally isn't a feature in the "main game"

Not an argument.

Owie is to TF2 what Hearthstone was to MtG.

MtG makes shitty PC games.

>>341040379
>MtG makes shitty PC games.
So, nothing like TF2?
>>
>Which is better?

Depends on what you're asking. TF2 is better from the standpoint of being established and everyone understanding that Scouts and Soldiers dominate the game (currently). The tickrate is better as well, much better. But the game is dead. Open is full of sandbaggers and invite is just b4nny recycling retirees. TF2 is done being balanced, it's at full potential, any changes now will just upset the community (see: demo stickies).

Overwatch has a horrible tickrate, but people are still figuring out the meta. Nerfs and buffs are incoming, and likely will be for awhile. The game already has more money in prize pools than TF2 had, which means invite players from TF2 will (and already are with the exception of those currently playing invite) move to Overwatch. No one wants to MGE or DM for hours just to get a check for $200.

Hopefully Overwatch will allow you to increase the tickrate in custom games later on. RIP TF2.
>>
>>341040145
The beta has been out for a couple of months now. They also need to rebalance a lot of weapons so they are suitable for the 6v6 format.

>it takes a 20 man team more than a month to create a match making system.

Well shit, look at OW. It certainly did take them more than a month to make a MM system. And they have even more people than the TF team does.

>overwatch player telling others to git gud
That's rich

>these other classes that are never used competitively are good, I swear
Go watch some invite level players they say the same thing. Hell I think b4nny made a video on it a little while ago.

Tickrate is only 20 on quick play matches fuckwit, literally had 60tick servers on launch for any custom games.

90% OF THE HATS IN THE GAME FIT THE ARTSTYLE AND EVEN THE MERCS PERSONALITIES FINE, UNUSUALS ARE 20-300 HATS, ID ALMOST HATE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ART STYLE SHATTERING SHIT BLIZZARD WOULD PROVIDE FOR 300 SHEKELS

AND REALLY UNUSUAL HATS ARE AN EXTENSION OF WHAT SERVER OWNERS WERE ALREADY DOING TO DRIVE SERVER DONATIONS, VALVE JUST MONITIVED IT AND MADE IT SO THEY COULD BE USED ON ALL SERVERS TO BREAK THE ARTSTYLE FOR THE OBSCENE PRICE YOU PAID

As someone who plays both games often and doesn't sperg out about either, imo:

Overwatch:

Pros:
>Feels tight
>6v6
>~10 minute matches
>Skill-based matchmaking
>Everyone has an "ubercharge" so even the shittiest shitter can have his 10 seconds of glory

Cons:
>Very little community interaction
>Not much customization besides skins
>Few maps
>Few gamemodes (really need 5CP)
>Lots of classes means many are one-trick ponies

TF2:

Pros:
>Versatile classes, each feels like they pack a punch in their own way right out of the gate
>Lots of possible weapons/weapon combinations
>Community servers (there are good ones, you just have to look harder)
>Bigger game sizes than 6v6 means you can just goof around and not tryhard every game if you want
>Lots of gamemodes
>No hard counters, especially with different loadouts

Cons:
>No matchmaking (Beta stuff doesn't count)
>Questionable competitive balance after 10 fucking years (MM beta guys say it'll get better though and more classes will be viable besides soldier/scout/medic/demo)

They weren't even working on comp/MM until may.

The game is so devoid of content atm it is obvious this is a rushed realese on the corpse of project titan etc...

And this is Overwatch's biggest downfall atm... lack of content. The next few months and subsequent patches are major to whether this game succeeds or fails.

There was another one. They reduced sticky blast radius quite a bit and added a rampup from 85% while in the air

That option currently does not work. You would know this if you played enough.
>>
>>341041117
>They weren't even working on comp/MM until may.

The beta got ranked in April. That means it was in development for at least a month. And it was complete garbage.

That means they are working on a ranked mm for at least 3 months, with a team much bigger than the TF team.

>>341040928

You obviously don't play this game. It is incredibly easy to shutdown ultimates if you are even in a half competant team with communication.

>everyone immediately looks for him and shuts him down in an instant

>"fire in the hole!"
>everyone takes cover and preaims corners to kill the 100hp tire

etc....


Ults are only "guaranteed" kills/success in shitty low tier pub matches

How does that factor into damage other than missing completely?
>>
TF2 was only good when weapons were achievement based instead of pay to win.
>>
>>341041562
You do less damage to groups, damage falloff is harsher, and long range sticky sniping is much more difficult.

>>341041740
You can buy all unique non-reskin weapons in TF2 for $0.50.

So it's still good?

>>341025802

This. I'm enjoying Overwatch quite a bit, but a few things are really frustrating me (namely Widowmaker/bad teammates every other game) that make me want to return to a TF2 that doesn't exist anymore.
>>
>>341025651
Both are shit, but if I had to choose, it has to be Overwatch because Valve killed TF2 with microtransactions.
>>
>>341041431
This. Above low level randoms they're used more for area denial/control than to get kills. Hanzo's dragons push you away from the payload/point for a few seconds, D.Va and Mccree make you move away out of sight for a few seconds, Mei makes you move back, same with Rein or Tracer. Reaper, Genji, Tracer, Pharah and Winston are more "kill them before they kill you". They're not unbalanced or free kills, they all have obvious audio cues.
>>

they're both cringey nerd versions of shit like halo/destiny

The only thing i can say is that i get a lot more angry in overwatch than i get in TF2. Too many "bullshit!" moments i guess.

>>341042081
A good enough Widow can get away from hot monkey dicc with her hook/kill him with a headshot + her SMG and mines.

The only true counter for a good Widow is a better Widow, I personally hope that Blizzard nerfs that french slut into unplayable tier.

Windstons leap has like a 5 sec CD how does grapple counter that?

Also getting off a charged headshot pointblank on an ape that can just jump around like a madman while keeping 100% accuracy on his cone weapon whilst doing so.

no.

on top of 500hp you have the bubble shield too.

Be aware of your surroundings and check your back often to minimize the chance of being killed by a Spy.

In all honesty, the Beggar's Bazooka is a bit OP. It's way too good at everything.

Easily the worst Stickybomb Launcher for the Demoman. Rush down a Scottish Resistance Demoman and he won't be able to blow you up fast enough.

as someone who plays both tf2 gives more freedom of movement to players, is based more on personal skill rather than picking the right hero, and has much less forgiving hitboxes, (except for hunstman and syringes, but the latter is a non-issue)

huge tf2 update coming soon, hopefully fixing all the shitty problems unlocks created.

>>341042570

Not him but you haven't played against good enough Widows. After a certain skill level they just break the game.

you can't do this
they are different games in terms of skill and also gameplay

tf2 has limited ammo and no abilities, overwatch only has modes that already bore me when i have been playing tf2 since 2007.

something about OW turns me off and its probably the lack of 24/7 level servers and fake accomplishment with the levels. they do nothing at all, at least tf2 had new weapons after a while. yeah OW is new, but i don't feel that its going to keep me playing as long as TF2 still is.

shit, imagine if spy could only cloak for 3 seconds every 10 seconds. imagine if medic didn't have uber to push though enemy bullshit (tf2 engie is better than tolberone)

all i want with OW is junkrat to have nade jumping, but that would make me 1000% better than everyone else in the game since im an oldschool fps pro and i already destroy the game

also, this shit couldnt support a real deathmatch due to stupid ability shit
