sopsIf medic gets more health regen when healing a target, does that mean bombing the med is slightly harder now?

It's still going to be 2 well-placed rockets or 3 less well-placed rockets. I doubt it'll be too much difference.

Can be Crafted by 2 Strange parts in the crafting menu under Rare Items

And THAT'S what i Always wanted! Now nothing stops me from getting the skins!

Elepimpcool, they buffed the quickie not much though maybe they will more in the future.

when modifying current stats valve would have to make QL an objective upgrade for demo mains to want to switch off stock

a majority of the best scenarios to use the QL in 6s are when pushing last. right off the bat, this means you're not using the QL unless you're respawning, because you're not going to go back to a resupply and ignore your chokepoints. even by that point, though, you're still at a disadvantage, because even when you're pushing offensively, a demoman is supposed to cover nearly all of his immediate defense for his team, and you can't do that when you have no way for your sticky traps to last

this is sort of an issue TF2 has with offensive weapons that lower defense in general--by comparison, a defensive weapon like the brass beast has little to no downsides when defending last compared to stock, because you're right next to spawn and you're only sitting in one place until you either die or successfully defend so who gives a shit--but idk how you solve that without fucking with core mechanics in the game

Fixed two most common forms of framerate stuttering / hitching when using popular FPS configs

Massively reduced memory consumption when using painted weapons

Improved particle system performance, boosting overall framerate, especially in particle-heavy situations.

Added an image to represent player ping values instead of the actual ping values. Added an option in Adv. Options to use the actual ping values.

Not sure i follow, is this like net_graph vs. scoreboard ping?

Eliminated many cases of hitching when using painted weapons
Eliminated occasional hitching caused by using mat_picmip 2 (or selecting low quality textures in Video Options -> Advanced)
Massively reduced memory consumption when using painted weapons

I CAN PLAY WITH SKINS ON???

  • Eliminated many cases of hitching when using painted weapons
  • Eliminated occasional hitching caused by using mat_picmip 2 (or selecting low quality textures in Video Options -> Advanced)
  • Massively reduced memory consumption when using painted weapons
  • Improved particle system performance, boosting overall framerate, especially in particle-heavy situations.

not copy but completely transfer i think, not actually sure how it will work specifically (does it switch values? does it wipe the one you transfer from? does it add the values up?) but i think it will add them up tbh
