Imagine grinding for thousands of hours, perfecting strategies, dedicating incredible amounts of time and effort to being the best and dominating a league, only to have the owner of the league come along and stop you from playing with any of your teammates in that league because you were too good

medic requires a universe of skill compared to mercy

old natascha is a strong contender for one of the worst weapons in fps gaming

wrangler is sad to play against

Crossbow should be banned for a season as a test, or maybe a tournament with it banned to see how the games play out

Not new but getting back into the game after a couple of years, aim is good but my gamesense is bad atm. Used to be around mid tier and playing in amateur faceit to get some practice

Will check out some stark demos, cheers

Just wondering if anyone knew of some strong scout players who play mid fights particularly well + aggressively without dying, recently I've had lots of cleanup kills/picks on 2nd/last points but very low impact on mid fights due to either overextending and inting OR playing too passive and far back at mid. Looking for some good scout demos so I can find that middle ground.

Cheers, sorry if this is wrong section

meanwhile in beginner: https://i.imgur.com/g6crp1I.jpg

I think there needs to be some sort of questionnaire of basic competitive knowledge before a player can get authorised to play in the Beginner queue, past 4 beginner games have been medics who don't know the heal rollout, medic without ubersaw, both soldier direct hit, demoknight, people not talking, etc

I really wanted to get back into playing some TF2 today with the promising new update and the 'revamped' competitive queue, but there's so many issues. Among others, there's no class limits, super short games with 2 round limit (think 3-minute rolls on 5cp then 3h wait for next game), ridiculously unbalanced teams, maps which half of the players have never even seen before, horrendous forced settings (viewmodels, etc)

Worst of all, however, is the glacial queue times. As of typing this, I've been in queue for around 6 hours and have completed 2 games within the first 2 hours, and then literally no game at all since 9am GMT (whilst setting max ping to 140 which includes NA central/west + all EU servers). It's 1pm GMT right now as of typing this; literally 4 hours with no game
