Judging by other people's experiences I doubt I'll bother playing mm 6s if something isn't done about the cheaters. At least when one shows up in casual you can just leave.

Having hidden elo in pubs is kind of cool in a way but I just realized most of us are only going to get matched with people who... really want to do well in a pub. With the good and bad things that come out of it.

Playing as and against pyro seems much more reasonable now. The part about it "requiring aim" is kind of a lie, you can still wiggle and flail, but since the damage ramps up now, the chances of you getting instamelted by an accidental lick of flame aren't very high. As scout or soldier I actually feel like I can react to a pyro trying to mouse 1 me again. Dragon's fury and jetpack updates are also quite good.

I think the new panic attack might be a real sleeper weapon. I've been trying it on pyro but some of you 6s guys might really want to consider it on soldier.

we can only hope for the fabled pyro nerf/hitreg fix

kind of weird to see sideshow videos with high production quality

good weird tho

LF sugar mommy, can relocate

have you watched 10 Cloverfield Lane? this plot is familiar.

demo has always been depressed, that's why he drinks

Been a few years since I did algebra, but closest I can get it by multiplying by A on the right. then you have

X (A^2 + A) = A + I . Since A commutes with itself you can write this as
XA(A + I) = A + I

[edited bc I suck. trippa got it right below me, unless A = -I (in which case any X solves the equation) this solves to XA = I]

Can't even blame them anymore, this is the right decision

can't wait for the nerf heavy threads in two years' time when we get the heavy update

Most of the changes from the update were good ideas, but a few key implementation errors ruin everything to the point where it's worse than before.

that ain't true. the damage per particle was increased but since they only count damage 12 times a second the overall DPS was kept more or less the same. Truth is pre-jungle inferno pyro was already capable of this sort of damage but because of mojo issues and requiring a bit of tracking you couldn't achieve it in the same way you do now

lightning gun will never happen, too much of a change for valve to consider.

People could use detonator or scorch before this update and pad their damage stats as much as they wanted. The reason why pyro is usable now and wasn't before is the primary, entirely. You used to have flamethrowers which did fairly inconsistent damage and shorter, variable range, so that you pretty much relied on having a degreaser and a quick burst from a flare or shotgun to get kills.

Post-update, flames have technically the same damage but they're literally unmissable, resulting in higher damage output overall (especially against crowds if you shake your mouse enough), they have better range, they linger on targets after you stop looking at them, slide off walls or the ground, it's a huge mess. Basically the flamethrower is super reliable at getting kills within its range now, and that means you pretty much don't need a secondary in close range... so you can use that slot to equip something that gives you reliable damage at longer range.

Fix the flames and pyro maybe won't be great, but it will be manageable I think. Problem is if it hasn't happened by now, I imagine it's because Valve are focusing their little TF2 resources into the matchmaking update so we could end up stuck with this pyro for a long time

Hello new flames are gamebreaking pls fix thank you

also polk, elazul, mighty burger, gardenfungus are some you might know

huey lewis and truktruk are super nice to talk to although I haven't directly played with them

you can play casual with p-rec on now, it was a silent fix that came with jungle inferno or shortly after
