I wasn't talking about that particular clip, just in the vid as a whole.

The first clip was dodgy as fuck, and he chose not to take an easy medic kill at least twice in some of the other clips. But the rest of the vid seemed good to me.

^That's the clip that makes me pretty sure he's legit. That's just some smart shooting, even with the misses. Or maybe he's just been playing with a trigger bot for a long time.

They're some pretty impressive frags overall, actually in the middle of fights/pushes instead of picking off badly positioned players (lookin at you konr).

i cant beat the second level of the one with the trees and dirt balls

If you don't have much experience with 6s, then you're going to have a hard time understanding Demo's role. In tonight's IM Grand Final, rr- put out 500 DPM, which is nearly twice as much as what the rest of his team averaged. Do you want two of that running around in a match?

Whether or not we choose to label Demo as OP, we all agree that he's fine the way he is. Being so powerful makes him one of the biggest picks in the game, and the constant threat of every player on the enemy team bum rushing you (sans their demo of course) keeps him in check. We argue about Sniper, and bitch about Granary spawns, but nobody rages about Demo. At least not on the forums.

I personally save my rage for the Direct Hit and snipers who are better than me.

But it doesn't matter why they're playing.

It only matters why you're playing.

This is why everyone gets butthurt when they die in DM. If you treat DM as a tool to get better, and not a measurement of skill or a league match, then you won't get frustrated. It's about you, not about them. Every second you're playing is a second you're improving. If you shoot a thing you just got practice, whether that thing was wearing a targe, wielding a bison, or camping on gullywash nipple.

Just play the game and have some fun, don't worry about maximizing practice efficiency or whatever.

Didn't the Euros have a Foundry cup to see if it could work?

I'm pretty sure it was terrible and completely Sniper dominated.

yea he's pretty much OP, there's a reason only one is allowed in 6s.

but that's not exactly a bad thing. It's Demo's job to be OP, that's his role in 6s. He puts out massive amounts of damage for his team to follow up on. Demo provides an important dynamic, and nerfing or changing him because he's ez in pubs would make the game a lot less interesting.

In highlander I always thought there were too many players for Demo to make as big of an impact.

and who cares about pubs

do people still hate ashville?

isn't this just like counter strike? i've never played cs before but isnt this basically just a clone of that minus all the actual tactics?

No I like having a buff

I played it. Enjoyed it a lot. Frustrating at times but I don't think it's a bad thing. I loved how the messages went with the puzzles; they were pretty subtle sometimes. I also loved the timer because I stressed about that the whole time. imo worth the money.

CANT STOP THE ROCK

Wanting to imitate the pros is understandable, but not something you should do when you're starting out. They do what they do for reasons developed over thousands of hours of competitive play. If you don't understand the reasons, then you probably aren't capable of mimicking them. So when a Scout thinks he can be like clockwork and skips out on the entire midfight to run all the way around for an epic flankz, he finds his entire team wiped because he didn't understand the conditions or communication that goes behind a play like that.

Focus on the basics first. Offclassing should be restricted to holding or pushing last.

If you care to actually read the post you'd know I'm not saying let's tell every newbie to play Sniper.

I'm suggesting that maybe we don't lie to new players and tell them that Sniper is a worthless class, when evidence to the contrary exists at every level of play.
