Uhhh. That was not my point, my point was that if you can hit the hard shots you can most likely hit the easy shots too. Maybe I worded it poorly idk.

I would disagree. I don't think anybody ever has had a problem hitting the ground if they could hit all the airshots and the directs. In the height advantage situation, jumping teaches you how to move better while you are in the air, but it will help you very little in practicing your aim. It would be arguable what you want to do in that specific scenario, depends on what you want to practice.

If you play soap dm as soldier never get high ground and take the hardest shots possible. If people shoot you from high ground go for directs instead of counter-jumping. A lot of soldiers just counter-jump and sit at high ground, doesn't make any sense to me since you won't get better quickly if you only shoot at the ground in a training mod. Do not play training mods to win them, play them so you'll get better.

Unfortunately no.

EDIT: Although there were a few metalworks matches at lan and you can still download those, the downloads expire in 3 months iirc.

EDIT 2: There was actually only one lan match on metalworks and it was a 5-0.

There's all the invite gpit matches. I also have the intermediate gpit demos from last season, if anybody wants them I can upload.

You can watch the vod from twitch.

There was a map like this, ctf_haarp, can't remember if it was good or not.

Or maybe make it so that you can use all unlocks in tournament mode?

I'm not really liking that the system the majority is suggesting involves special treatment for certain weapons(stock+generally liked unlocks), but allowing all weapons to be banned could be pretty horrible. Sticky Launcher would be a standard ban then, making the demoman nearly useless. That's because all the alternatives to the Sticky Launcher are awful, but maybe Valve would realize this and buff/rework the others to be somewhat useful. That could take a lot of time though, so playing demo in this matchmaking system would be terrible for a long period of time.

Also copy-pasting here what I said earlier in the other thread:

I don't know if that's a good idea, but I'm just throwing that out there. Maybe allow the medic switch his medigun though.

To me it seems like they're trying to make highlander more like dota and include this idea of adapting into loadouts. That's simply not possible at the moment(besides medi gun/kritz) because you cannot see which weapons a person is using unless he switches through all of them. And besides it's really hard to keep a track of all that, in addition to that you can change your loadout at any moment in time.

If they really want something like that though, it would have to be so that players have to pick their weapons at the start of the match and they are forced to use them for the entire match, similarly to how heros are picked in dota. Maybe it could evolve into picking counter-loadouts or something. That system obviously has it problems too, not being able to swap off to kritz, etc.

I think it actually is. He rocket jumps, hits his lag bind and does another rocket jump.

I would really like to have some sort of incentive to move out so the HRG play where they wait two minutes and then bomb Tagg would become less viable. Compare it to Quake, if you are the player in control and you sit around doing nothing it's actually a bad idea because your armor and health will decay and the player out of control will catch up to you. It's really boring to watch teams sit around doing nothing and then the occasional roamer suicide will happen and they'll maybe get the force out and then push with uber advantage. You can try to push with that roamer advantage but it's pretty difficult with the fast forward respawns. An incentive to move out could be a power-up or an armor or something like that.

Instead of adding an incentive move out you could also make pushing into second/mid easier, most obvious solution being increasing forward respawn timers. However this could also make teams more scared of pushing uber vs uber because before if they screwed up they could maybe delay the enemy team enough for the forward respawns to kick in. Another option is to modify the maps obviously.

In my opinion that play just needs to be weakened to the point where it's not viable at all.

Just a few more.

I had this problem, solved it by restarting Steam. Not sure how it worked but it did.
