nth for truthfully bros, the only thing tf2 needs to be completely balanced before matchmaking comes out is a strange cozy camper. it could count like hp healed or something. i simply can't play with a unique one

>>135573721
6s players will defend soldier/scout/demo against accusations of being OP while also claiming other classes are weak as shit and should stay that wayi also believe that heavy/engi/pyro/spy dominated gameplay would be dumb as fuck
Hey good for you buddy you know I'm really happy to hear you're doing well in your mememaking games. Congrats man post some rad webms bro can't wait to see those sick frags. Thanks for the update man I'm your biggest fan I can't wait to hear more stories of your 6s adventures. Keep us informed we love to read about it
isnt soldier supposed to be strong for killing things? thats all he does
>>135574048

engi/sniper/spy/heavy are just situational. it's ok to have situational classes

>>135574193
I disagree. I believe all classes should be equally viable. Balance is important. Obviously, some classes are gonna be better at some things, but it shouldn't be a straight hindrance to be playing it at all at any point.

Engineer balance Idea:
Remove dispensers and teleporters
Sentry is replaced by a battlesuit that gives him +75 hp (total 200) but slows his movement lower than demoman
Sentry rockets on the battlesuit fire one at a time now, 4 loaded and they reload one at a time over 3 seconds
No pistol, wrangler only, chainguns are disabled for balance
>>135572174
What if we......
wait for it
waiiiiit for it
.
just removed pyro
valve please remove cosmetics from tf2
>>135575459
YES YES
FUCK THAT SHITTY FUCKING CLASS AND ALL THE FAGGOTS WHO MAIN IT
THAT CLASS IS LITERALLY GOOD FOR NOTHING
SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN PUT IN THE GAME
FUCK PYRO AND FUCK EVERY NIGGER WHO THINGS ITS ACCEPTABLE
>>135575194
Did I recently play with you?
Or maybe it was just a heavy with the same loadout.
>>135574735
I'm more thinking that fast offense being the one true strategy is the issue. There's no room for classes that do more than kill and go fast, other than waking dispenser man.
I think the lack of unlock bans will be a good thing for competitive TF2. If something beat the vanilla DM class setup, players disliked it. A natascha heavy with a vaccinator medic basically ignores damage, but a good counter to this would be a direct hit/buffbanner soldier. They can back up one point and feed off the slow heavy, and basically have a mini uber. That's something I see as a potentially interesting type of gameplay
59th for :trump
>>135575576
I don't even play heavy, so it was probably just someone with a similar loadout.
There is literally nothinginherentlywrong with Pyro.
>>135575749
>absolutely no DM parts of him at all except his flamethrower
>he only uses it to light people on fire
>airblast is a broken, easy to use crutch
>>135575335
that sounds like a soldier
Pyro is fun, but it's a fundamentally flawed class.Spy is even more useless than pyro, desu.
>>135575839
>airblast is broken
?
>>135575839
t. soldier that got his ez to predict rockets reflected one to many times
>>135575749
Get fucked faggot.
>>135575967
If you're literally wondering why then just hang yourself.
>>135575964
At least spy can kill.
>>135575967
it fires faster than a rocket launcher.
It locks you into place.
you cannot strafe.
It literally penalizes you for shooting, which is a retarded mechanic for an arena shooter
>>135576043
dont let him get close?
>>135576027
>>135576043
it penalizes you for shooing like an idiot
Pyro is a shit class
pyro was never designed to have airblast or flareguns, both of which stray from his originally designed role as an ambush class
backburner was a step in the right direction, but it gets random crits anyway and the back radius isn't very much at all
this encourages wm1 and flare spam
then they buffed the scorch shot and it's all anybody uses now
airblast is broken and a crutch
few pyros are effective without flares, which force players to run for health/extinguishing from long range
all his cosmetics are lolxDrandom
how else is pyro shit?
>>135576043
Funniest thing Ive read all night.
>>135576603
how is airblast broke and a crutch?
>>135576603
someone with ungodly aim would benefit more using scout
>>135576773
it can reflect multiple projectiles from unreasonable angles, sometimes back at the pyro even when aiming in the opposite direction
it negates player movement, which isn't fun especially when used consecutively
it's too easy to use and makes things more difficult for other players
>>135576948
Wouldn't they benefit more by playing sniper?
>Playing Pyro on Viaduct
>Enemy Soldiers are spamming chokes and holding wm1 as soon as they see me
>Get easy reflects
>Hop on their asses because they aren't being aware
>Landing flares from retreating enemies from across the map
>They're demanding nerfs by the end
Pyro is so good at pushing baddies shit in. It's the best.
>>135577172
so your complaint is that it can reflect projectiles and push back players
reflecting projectiles is only really possible when at mid-long ranges (when pyro doesn't really have range except for flare guns which are easy to dodge) and the knockback is only usable when close range (and he can already attack you)
airblast uses up the pyros ammo and prevents him from shooting for like half a second as the airblast finishes
if he's knocking you around with it then you just shoot him
>>135577349
>Backburner Pyro on Nucleus
This should be illegal, desu. Making snipers switch to heavy is always hilarious.

>Flames are now based off of a jiggleboned cone, rather than particles
>Flamethrower range is decreased slightly
>Flamethrower damage is increased slightly
>Afterburn time from the flamethrower is based off of time spent being burned, rather than an arbitrary length
>Airblast fire rate is the same as the rocket launchers
>Airblasted targets now have more strafing ability
>Stickybombs can now be reflected in midair. Reflecting one midair makes it lose forward momentum, rather than fly back.
>The only secondaries are the shotgun and the flare gun
>Reload speed for secondaries is slightly faster
>Melee weapons now all offer a passive 15% speed boost while active
>Pyro now wears sunglasses properly
>Pyro now holds the Conscientious Objector like a fire axe
Do these things make Pyro more viable/less annoying?
>>135582260
>flamethrower loses range
love this meme
why not remove its base damage completely and make it do only afterburn damage
afterburn is time is dependent on how long you are being burned for, that or starts out somewhat weak and increases the longer you're in it
why does tf2g hate pyros now? back in 2013 we were making plenty of epic pyro loadouts in the thread

>nerf
I mean yeah if the numbers were low then sure it would be a nerf but ok
>>135583975
Yeah because afterburn needing consecutive ramp-up to do any damage is totally not a nerf, especially when your suggestion makes damage be 100% afterburn only.
>>135583687
remove anime
>>135583687
add more anime
>>135584048
so 1000 damage per tick would be a nerf right?
>>135584167
Not him, but the whole concept is retarded. You would need really high damage per tick and that would make pyro even more annoying without even guaranteeing he's good.
>>135584251
pyro already has ridiculous attack speed, higher than the minigun i think
>oh noes! i can no longer spam crockets and stickies the general direction of my enemies! nerf pyro plz!

what is the problem? the rich people of tf2 have literally stolen from the poor to gain their wealth. as such we deserve raffles, as well as giveaways as a form or restitution. there is not one single trader or tf2g with unusuals who didn't jew/shark/steal to get their items
So, any opinions on righteous bison? I've used it and found out how much it excels in long range, narrow hallways, and crowds of enemies.
>>135588017
what font is that? I like it.
cuck my cucking ass
My shitty proposed pyro fix:
Flamethrowers now have 50 ammo in a clip, 200 in reserve
Reloading takes 2 seconds
Airblast is 10 or 15 ammo
Slightly reduced ammo consption when shooting flames
Increased fire damage
Changed particles from going in a cone shape to a straight up narrow cylinder with longer range
Everything in the location of the cylinder bow catches on fire unstantly, with fall-off

>>135586851
The only thing REMOTELY close to that is "pop it, don't drop it" but that's for meds and ubers.
I'm always fascinated by engineers who do that.
Especially engineers with funslinger equipped. Just lob a pipe or rocket right at it, and it's gone.
