It'll happen regardless. Matchmaking is gonna make the gap between public and 6v6/9v9 even smaller, and soon we'll have main pyro/spy/snipers running around acting like siN and Muselk with troll loadouts. I really don't understand why people think it's a good thing, besides the few -good- people that'll switch and join competitive.tf2 properly.

Why? Its people who're used to custom huds, custom maps and a clean interface. It was a minor war to even have a FoV slider added. Unless Blizz pulls a 180* and open up to suggestions, the game will be dead in the water within a year. An example would be HotS, a game I've heard nobody badmouth, yet nobody bothers playing it either. They're just not very good at capitalizing on hype.

First month every Overwatch streamer was in the same game. It was Twitch All-Star matches every single time. Then the keys were given out randomly, and from my experience, to people who never touched a Blizzard game over the people who're ready to commit their eSports career to it. Talk about shooting your own leg off.

I've honestly tried my best to understand the team fights, but each hero has 4-5 graphic effects each. Team fights are a mess and the spectator HUD itself covers both ammo and HP lol. Its gonna take quite the gimmicky player for a person to stay interested in that game to the extend of being the new TF2 to them, I think.

Initiative by an old s2 div 3 player. Was probably the best introduction anyone could've had.

Since it was a golden-cap, and probably meant to appeal to the siN subs who're there for action, the full length of the first clip was okay, since it wrapped up the entire match by definition. The following one was an okay inclusion if it had led to a round winning backcap, but since it was mostly the first 10 secs and the last 15 that mattered, could've cut/sped it up a bit.

The only real complaint I have is still related to the scoreboard section. Please just make some kind of use of the left part. :>

(Also, wasn't DH concluded by the time editing stopped? Should've put the rest of the results into the bracket graphic)

Generally a smoother video than last but the content itself might've had to do with that. Shrug!

Yeah but I'm just saying. Even when they were allowed for a while nobody really used them. It's odd to see them be straight up default now. I personally love it, but guess it's been a few years really.

Wasn't gunboats allowed a few years ago in ETF2L? Never heard of anyone using them back then, before they got blacklisted again, and now they're more or less default. It's an odd contrast.

HotS was a success, yet I've met no single person who considered it more than an in-between kind of game. The fact someone can sit down and with a straight face say "I'm a professional HotS player" seems hilarious to me.

HotS barely changed from alpha/beta, and I'm already seeing people beg for competitively viable changes in Overwatch, which I really doubt we'll see unless Blizzard changes their model entirely. Either they won't change shit and its dead on arrival upon release, or they do and it might actually be a viable competitor to TF2.

Also, can't make out shit in this game. I thought TF2 was bad at times.

Literally anything from the mouth of a pub-pro/highlander pyro. Saw a comment about the pyro usage @ DH and how bad they were, not single handedly pushing the entire team out and reflecting every single rocket while getting 5 frags and solo capping 4 points.

I don't know what part of TF2 attracts all these career pubstars. As if having a unique loadout with an unusual makes them all the more eligible for being a sensation because they only play one class. 6v6 players want to use utility classes when they're useful, these retards want to play the class and MAKE them useful.

Reddit is the one reason I'm afraid matchmaking is gonna do more harm than good. Imagine these people trying to creep their way into 6v6 with the mentality they did well in a MM match as pyro, because the other team had 3 spies, and as such must be prem material.

MGE doesn't measure anything but your aim at the given time. A shitty soldier could two-shot you by shooting at the walls and shatter your confidence for the remainder of the match regardless. It's probably more about your need to perform above the average. I've played together with several high div scouts and the majority focused on tactics and health conservation over aim. They all did great.

It's fine for your goal to be a better aim, but honestly if that's gonna rule your mindset every match you need to switch some priorities around. I remember a thread years ago saying "Try looking at your crosshair instead of the enemy" and people said it changed their game entirely. Aim is a finicky thing, gamesense isn't. Play often, not in a row, make aim secondary priority. Their DM won't matter shit if you're outplaying them on positioning, communication and awareness.

I'm almost convinced lower DPI means 'slower' movement in general, as less surface is registered during movement.

Fucked about with the no-smoke explosion crap?

Aren't frag movies supposed to be the player's video, presented by the editor? It'd be hard to not let a sour player ruin a video.

The title is a little pretentious, editing is okay, but not enough for the editor to outshine the player, hence above statement. The content of this thread certainly didn't help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd fucking kill myself having to deal with a small desk. Even this feels claustrophobic.

Been trying to find USB speakers for ages, any suggestions?

v Because I generally don't want to dump too much money into it. It's literally just for whenever I'm not sitting down, and want to deafen the already graveyard-competitive silence of my apartment out. I don't have any speakers as is and I'd imagine the USB kind is cheaper regardless.

Would've been funny if the map was smaller, spawn on each side of spire, a bunch of ramps and crap leading up to it to motivate RJing. Sort of a koth_turris 6v6 with obstacles.
