Don’t know if it’s just me but only being able to do one contract at a time is annoying because the bonus objectives can be such a grind to complete and I don’t like being forced to play some of the terrible new maps like Lazarus over and over again, especially with the 10 min queue time I had over the weekend. Also contracts only competing after round ends sucks for the same reason, when I complete the dumb bonus objective I’d very much like to leave the server and not have to wait 8 minutes defending Merc Park last against clueless people trickling in.

All in all this update is a major letdown for me, I was mainly looking forward to MM changes that would give us placement matches and some stronger measures against cheaters. I’ve rarely encountered so many obvious aimbotters as I did in my few comp MM matches. I guess if you enjoy playing Pyro (blergh) this update could be considered ok. Certainly not worth the +400 days waiting for it.

Sometimes it generally feels like you get one shot by flamethrowers but that might be due to 6 pyros being in your face from all sides. Definitely feels like I’m dying to a even a single pyro more than before though, it’s pretty difficult for me to track them through the new particles. Have to get used to that too.
Are there some custom flame particles available like the custom explosion vpk things?

This thread is so old I probably posted in it before but whatever, 60cm/360 (in all games every time because my muscle memory is the only thing keeping me from losing to twitchy kids in my old age)

I just tested ahud and while in-game is fine the menu is bugged. From a quick glance the experience tracker is off and you can't redeem war paints at all.

Thanks for ahud, can’t live without it

What a shitshow...

Reddit is happy because they got updates for the shitty pyro, tf.tv is sad because comp got neglected. Two different target audiences.

What the actual fuck, this is not the updated I was hoping to wake up too :/
I was hoping for an update to competitive matchmaking and contracts that bring new people to said matchmaking...

If you actually go to Uni in the end it doesn’t really matter, that one year isn’t going to matter for your CV in a negative way as long as you use it properly, i.e. interning or volunteering or work and travel etc. Just don’t be lazy at home.
Also don’t just think about what you want to study, think about what type of job you want to do later on and chose accordingly, because while it’s nice to study something you’re interested in you will spend most of your life with the job you get later on, so better make sure that you enable yourself to do a job you can see yourself doing for 40+ years.

Also in terms of friends: if they are real friends it won’t matter if you go at the same time to uni, and if they aren’t then it’s best to learn that quickly too. Usually you find new friends easily in university anyway because you study with a lot of like minded people.

For someone not wanting you to get info on him he actually has a lot of info on display right there. Don't really get why some people really feel the need to appear edgy like that.

Pro players go to the game that offers them money for their skillset.
Many OW players have stated that the only reason they play it is money. There's a clip of Taimou where he says pretty much that exactly.

To me this is useful because I always thought you had to press ctrl again after the c-tap, guess I always did it wrong.

DM PAD L is better than qck, has stitched borders and is available at cheaper prices than qck

I write with my left hand but for almost all others things my right hand is dominant, like throwing, spiking, using mice.
In university I once took part in a medical study and learned that psychologically someone like me is considered "right handed writing with left" which was ok for the study as they were looking for right handed people only. Apparently handedness has a very wide spectrum.
