this time next month, fellas?

a lot of the complaints i see about faceit being too competitive are completely incongruous with what people seem to expect out of casual tf2. for example, adding an elo system that rises and falls with w/l and divides better and worse players into different servers would just give players more incentive to win, inherently making the game more competitive than a pub. even once the bulk of players have reached their proper rank, who's to say an old pro coming back to play faceit pubs or somebody with an unranked smurf wouldnt come in and ruin the balance of the fresh install servers?

its really weird to see issues like this arising 13 years into tf2's life-cycle when wildly varying skill levels have been an inherent part of public servers / casual servers / community servers since the game's inception. that's the essence of the server being "public" - all are welcome, and it's too chaotic and disorganized for winning to matter, so just walk around and shoot gamers. only this time, you're rewarded with faceit points exchanging at 10 points per thousandth of a cent (with every participant getting nearly the same value, independent of w/l or k/d).

there's also the other pubber crowd complaining about people stacking overhealed heavies or short circuit engineers, completely unaware that this exact problem is why we employ class restrictions and whitelists for competitive tf2. but we wouldn't want to make casual tf2 "competitive," would we?

The year is 2023. Under-performing Invite/Prem teams fund a worldwide network of assassins to "take out" top talent at their computers. First seed teams only last a few weeks before they are quickly swept aside and replaced. Some Pros have taken to hiring their own bodyguards, but $250 a season isn't enough income to fund their own protection.

Life in the badlands is short.

"please never pick me up for your team" the thread

this is your brain on dreamsmp. any questions?

faceit is really expecting tf2 players to have more than 10 friends

we could go full bureaucratic cringe and have our league admins and representatives be elected by the community, instead of the top officials consisting of self-appointed c-jerk power-trippers acting on their own volition

just spitballing here

how did this go so long without getting any attention

im fairly certain that +strafe defaults to left alt but nobody knows about it or how to use it

ive only ever used it to slow waddle to give other players a how moment because its otherwise pretty useless
