TLDR: B4nny said: UGC is dumb in response to a match he recently played
UGC Girl: naw UGC is good, also its free so its above criticism
B4nny responded: Ur Wrong in a more hateful/annoyed manner
Truktruk: responds saying, that was a mean attack on UGC Girl/you should behave better in public/say constructive criticism
B4nny: Truktruk is just in it for the e-Girl and you're both wrong cause you didn't see the match I played

Didn't you know? Paul Walker was a tf2 player

Lets go Bdonksi!

Lets go Sandblast!

I love that Faint gaming actually watch the games and participate in the forums. Idk it makes me want to root for Faint so much more

edit: spelling

Watched the whole thing, and I mostly agree with what he's saying.

Nerfing the engineers pure defensive capabilities and making him more mobile / a team support character with healing teammates and those speed buffs makes him more viable for a comp setting esp on 5-cp. However making the engineer equal to the medic would be a bit much, he would need to be visibly lower/worse than the medic when it comes to healing other wise there would be no reason to run a medic.

He addressed most of the major annoying/gimmicky weapons though I do feel the Short Circuit got off a bit easy but idk.

Sandblast is a legend with that spy play https://clips.twitch.tv/CautiousCoySandpiperPunchTrees

Obviously we should aspire to get to that stage with every class/weapon/game mechanic. The problem is how do we get there without massively ticking off one side of the player base?

Another org in Tf2, that's awesome

I'm not too worried about this because in order to do these strafes without practice, you have to use mantreads, giving up both the gunboats and shot gun. While the Mantreads have definitely been improved, there not nearly as good as gunboats or shotty in either in terms of mobility or dpm. And jump/surf servers can always ban them anyways if they need to.

Also the jumps at least in competitive aren't really strafe heavy from a roamer perspective, and if you want to argue that some are, 200% increase in strafe is not going to help a someone instantly nail these jumps. Most use I see is being able to maybe land more precise bombs maybe.

They're not gonna spoil the main chunk of the update, assuming it is about the Pyro like we've been lead to believe

At least they're making an attempt to communicate, if this had happened previously like for all other updates we'd be in better shape.
