The buff demo deserves :)

I don't really think you get to mid that much faster. It would be hard for me to test that though as I'm usually faster than any other demo anyway (egoistic much hehe) so I'll leave that for now. On how many maps do you get more than +25 hp though? I think lot of the maps offer you enough health packs so you get full hp regardless. That 25hp difference is also a reason I said you shouldn't try to trade stickies with each other, as you are in a disadvantage.

I don't know what map you are talking about in your second argument, but if we talk Badlands then getting on top of point is suicidal for the booties demo if you just call it to your team asap. Not even booties can save you if you play full yolo. You gotta hope your surfing skill is on point then...

I should also add that my post is independent and I haven't read many of other peoples' posts here. I didn't read b4nnys argument yet so I'll do it if needed for future responses.

Booties are a great team-weapon in a sense that you are much vulnerable alone (no pipes to defend yourself and probably always have less stickies prepared) but in a teamfight, you are hard to pick off and if you can survive the initial attack, your teammates may be able to finish off the attackers instead.

So just focus pretty much anyone else except the demo and you'll win vs booties. Without his pipes he is just a soldier; tanky, but not much damage to dish out. Unlike a heavy which should be focused down immediately, demo's dps is actually pretty low if he has to reload his every shot and shoot them offensively (so the sticky nerf comes to play). Demo's anti-air capabilities is also weakened a lot, so bombing the medic gets easier. If the demo is alone, then facerushing him as a scout is very effective, as 2 stickies don't kill you (unless extremely well placed or placed beforehand as a trap)

Being a demo with pipes in mid fights, don't try to weaken the booties demo, but instead try to look chip their scouts or sticky carpet your own playground so roamers have a harder time dealing with you. Trying to chip off a 300hp demo isn't going to pay off. Force the demo to come close (for example in badlands mid on top of the point) before you call your team to focus him off. If it's a mexican standoff you'll pretty much win by default because you got pipes (hopefully you hit at least one direct)

Using booties is very useful if enemy team is focusing you hard, your pipe aim is off for some reason or you really want to win a midfight with the combination of quickiebomb launcher. I have to agree that the concept of booties is flawed (giving you just flat out survivability in exchange of something skillful like pipes), but it's certainly not OP and just gives you another style to play with. Loose cannon for extremely pussy playing, booties for the semi-passive play where you take lot of the heals and pipes for aggressive play where you try to out-duel your opponents. And as long as you think (or Valve thinks) scout is a fine class and shouldn't be nerfed, passive demo is going to rule. Or just buff stickies again, I wouldn't mind that.

I'll try to answer any questions you might have, probably more in the demoman's point of view though.

I think booties are fine, gives me an option if I'm tilting and not hitting pipes for some reason.

You can check if you got choke/loss by typing "net_graph 3" in console.

To me, this looked like your mouse suddenly teleported to somewhere else. Maybe a faulty mouse? Maybe you can test another mouse to see if you still have this problem.

Byte is right though. NA also had a rule for eu snipers (people with over 150ping cant snipe), I think this was the HL IRC channel though. I can understand how it's kinda stupid for 6s where sniper isn't as powerful.

I'm trying streaming with this matchmaking thing after thinking about it for so long. I was a prem demo in ETF2L (http://etf2l.org/forum/user/13753/) during Season 19.

Country of residence: Finland

It's more because TFTV is very liberal so it's impossible for people like sheepy to get any meaningful conversation going on because he is downvoted and ridiculed for every word he says.

I just find it funny that he tries so much but the response is always the same.

When I woke up and I saw the news, my first thought was whether Sheepy has made a topic about it in tftv...

I should get my priorities straight.

I'd say this is more of a buff for the attackers, especially in situations where attackers have an uber advantage

Surpress function has been in Mumble for ages, at least since 2010. It should be in 1.2.8, unless the linux versions have different things in them for some reason.

Good job so far however I just don't like the Alpine theme, I feel like every map is doing it now (process, product, sunshine, logjam to some extend).

Any other desert theme or even the before mentioned swamp theme should work much better.

I'd rather die in a fire and drink bleach than use that shitty AC again.

E: Although I did like the vanilla unlocks.
