just let highlander players cheat and focus on 6s

im sure its just that clip and not the multiple times of calling someone "Her" and a failed man all over a ringer dispute

not really so sure anymore

how do you know that this thread is what made action take place and not that it was already being worked on while people got impatient and started to complain publicly about how nothing was being done

it's funny too when people get mad that cukei and cray aren't banned despite everyone knowing they're cheating because whether people realize it not that's just asking for time and resources to get taken away from moderating active players in order to do a PR takedown of inactive ones

let's not forget how recently tftv was utterly convinced sin karma was cheating

id be very surprised if a tf2 league could pull that off without costing like $200 to play a season or top-tier esport sponsorship

as people have already pointed out map advantage is still easier for the losers-sided team than the alternative of a bracket reset

i think your issue of being bored with grands is because one team has a leader whose career is tf2 and will just play with 5 of the best/most dedicated players whereas any other invite-winning teams will play on and off, so during an off season like this grands won't be competitive

some people do have really flicky aim and its the same shit people thought flusha was cheating for, so im a little hesistant of calling cheats when the aim flicks to people through walls or something right after a kill when someones resetting their mouse or something
that being said i cant think of a single player who will be fighting someone, flick to another player, and then flick back to the person they were fighting. it makes absolutely no sense and makes it seem like there isnt actual intention behind where the crosshair is going

you should only get a finite resource of votes corresponding to the number of scouts youve killed (mge/dm servers dont count) and you can vote any number of times per post

sigafoo pull out that wrangler

metagame evolution is general is interesting because the idea of using a certain weapon for instance is nothing new and in any troll game/unserious half of tf2 youll see people use direct hit, force a nature, quickies, etc. but eventually something like that actually gets seriously considered for its merits, usually by someone who just has fun playing with it, and their success or playstyle or whatever gets noticed by actual competitors who then use it for no reason other than getting a competitive advantage
not only is it a more communal shift but its hard to pin down whats just some guy trolling and whats the actual seed of a serious metagame reconsideration

dingo might have been the first to really use it frequently in invite but in my mind hedgehog hero is the main one responsible for NA loch usage being where its at today

I think the hardest part for new maps is that their quirks or flaws are treated as nonstarters as opposed to staple maps who's glaring issues have been played with or around for a decade.

i want the cp_obscure floating health pack above mid and i want sniper banned so maps can have non-fatal sightlines
