• put the rank/medal on the main menu alongside the casual level badge to remind people it exists. And to annoy people enough to the point they play it to get a cool medal
  
• give "real" incentives to play/rank up (aka you give them some basic hats and skins at x rank/x wins/x wins w class)
  
• don't force graphic settings. Big part of our playerbase are children using the family laptop to play free games. MM isn't accessible for some okay PCs, unplayable for them. I remember playing MM at 9 fps on my laptop when it had just been released
  
• option of solo+duoqueue OR 6 stack. similar to LoL (afaik). seperated games.
  
• map pool should be good, but appeal to casual players. KotH is a good middleground, but stopwatch pl should be good enough as well. ofc 5cp should still be used, but shouldn't dominate the pool

stomping on rapists actually
though I'm all for stomping racists and I'm certain plunk is too

Anyway if KK wants to keep him banned then oh well. Wiet is right about it being their channel and they can make that decision, regardless of it being a good or bad decision.

Trying to justify it by saying it's bad to joke about inciting violence towards sexual abusers is questionable. The goth one has been a joke he's been repeating for years

Also @wiethoofd I apologize if you took the uploading to youtube thing by heart since you commented on that. I meant no offence towards you or anyone else at KK in that regard. I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate the effort you put into that

would've gotten 600 consistent viewers but plunk CORRUPTED the tftv readers' minds

I don't even remember last time I read the comments on tournament announcement pages so if this is a ban reason then lol

No he didn't. People still think it's a bad decision. They just care less if it's uploaded to youtube in a reasonable time frame

Overall this is just a really bad decision on your end. Plunk's not a shining beacon of exemplary behaviour, but he's done nothing that actually crosses a line in this situation. Just unban him and be done with it so this thread can be locked and you both can move on. His post history on your twitch channel proves he's not being disruptive there. He starts being disruptive there? Ban him and you'll have the logs to back it up. ez

People freaking out because they think soldier just stopped being the weakest 6s class
Fear not
Soldiers will still get their shit pushed in by scouts
It is going to be okay

for each patched stickytrap a new traffic cone should be added somewhere on the map.
It's only fair

Looks extremely similar to Leth's crosshair5OL. It's available on cfg.tf

I'll use this opportunity to say I've made some more crosshairs, but I am bad at github and my naming/folders currently are quite shit. Also someone pointed out one of the default rework crosshairs is blurry because I messed up the VTF flags. oopsies.
It's a decent amount of work so I'm just looking for a day where I feel bored enough to remake the entire github/add the new ones/edit the old ones

using the gas passer, an overpowered pyro unlock in mvm, is a reason to report/kick someone?
this is the mvm equivalent of "he's using stickytraps kick him" in pubs

also I read about 10 reports and 3 of them were "this dude was rude to me so I griefed and rejoined whenever they kicked me as an epic troll"

MvM players' skulls are void

off topic, but I'm surprised the loose cannon hitboxes are the same size as stock pipes. Always felt bigger to me

true. thinking about it some if not all might not be demos. unless they actually took the time to record and find ticks in pub demos

I personally don't think that clip is all too sus considering how shit the TF2 demo system is. But that's just my opinion.
Multiple people way more experienced w anti-cheat than me took the decision after all.

Though I personally was never convinced of cheating I do not disagree with banning them considering they've always tried to exploit whatever wasn't in the rules (at the time)

with regular movement binds:
walk right, hold it down. now also hold down left. it cancels out and you stand still

nullmovement:
walk right, hold it down. now also hold down left. it overrides and you start walking left

the theory is that if you misstime letting go off a key you won't stand still when you meant to switch directions.
I've used it for like half of my TF2 playtime. In practise it will not make a noticeable difference.

Nullmovement is achieved using a couple of command aliases that you bind WASD to

edit: clip gone. no point in clicking. it was a med airshot by AMS

here's a replacement

or use

mod_load_anims_async 0
mod_load_mesh_async 0
mod_load_vcollide_async 0

(I never play casual so I've not tested that. though this works for Serveme servers)
