Tbh he DOES play the game, and he's not talking about competitive, just about matchmaking, but it's Muselk, fuck him and his opinion, amirite? Does that get me upvotes here?

Though I do think that Casual would be better than Quickplay, IF quickplay hadn't already killed most community servers.

How about nerfing fire so that it does shit damage on it's own and focusing on combos with On Fire mechanics? And maybe change airblast to only reflect projectiles and not players. That would open up space for some new cool weapons utilizing On Fire, as well as a slight buff to flare guns to compensate. All while keeping the core class mechanics the same. Because let's face it, Valve aren't gonna change the flamethrower into a Quake LG. It needs to remain relatively easy to play for new players too.

That sounds like a very credible source!

I would like to see full viewmodel customization options, as it is in CS:GO. At the very least, I see no reason for locking viewmodel_fov.

And while I can see the reason behind locking r_drawviewmodel (so that people watching streams aren't confused about which weapon is the streamer using), I don't necessarily agree that we should sacrifice customizability and comfort of players for that reason.

Thing is, they are unclear on whether this class update is gonna be a rework or just new weapons and hats and shit. Pyro needs the rework more, but if it's just new stuff, Heavy should get it imo

This, both of them get new stuff, the WAR is only about who gets it first.

"Update notes coming soon"
DAMMIT DON'T TEASE ME ANYMORE

EDIT: Also tbh, couldn't they give us at least full customization of the viewmodels' position like in CS:GO?

When every time Pyro/Heavy gets mentioned, it's all shitposts about how cancer they are, then maaaybe the joke has gone too far.

This forum is becoming too much of a pyro/heavy hating circlejerk. I get it, you won't see them in your beloved 6v6 99% of the time and if you did, they would make the experience worse, so they're irrelevant to you. Doesn't change the fact that they are a part of the game, and TF2 wouldn't be what it is without them. And with the competitive update coming, it's likely you will see some pubbers trying out matchmaking and playing pyro and heavy all the time because it's their favorite class. And if you get all condescending about how pyro and heavy is cancer, you will discourage them from competitive.

(plus who knows, maybe the rebalances in this update will make pyro and heavy have their place in competitive too, you never know)

Well... I expected no banned weapons, but 2 class limit would seem... reasonable.

I'd rather play new maps more often even if they're not balanced that well, than play the same 4 maps or so all the time. Applies to CS:GO as well.

what's so wrong about this thread? if this is how the community's gonna welcome all new players interested in comp then you can say bye bye to tf2 comp ever growing into a real esport.

It depends. I mean, if Valve's MM will evolve into a proper 6v6 with class limits and a whitelist, then I imagine TF2Center and the like will definitely die. Sites like TF2Pickup would probably still survive though as they usually have better players playing there, require comms and can also cater to specific whitelist needs, if Valve's whitelist is imperfect.

But that's all speculation, we don't know where Valve's gonna go with MM.

Well on the positive note, it makes the TF2 comp scene seem huge lol

It's not really a timelapse, looks like it's playing on full speed, which means you made these posters in approx. 5 minutes and it shows. Try spending a bit more time on them, do more interesting poses, play with the lighting more (putting one light in and calling it done is not a good way of doing it) and improve your composition.
