#13 Where to start playing 6v6 TF2 in EU? in Q/A Help

SentinelKiNGDO NOT PLAY TF2 CENTRE. Anything but tf2c is good tbh, as turbomonkey (jomjom) said
You talk shit about tf2c and yet you use it on a daily basis. I mean, you're all shitting on tf2center and not offering and viable alternatives.

Mixchamp is dead. Brand new players won't get picked on pugchamp. Faceit has no class limits, no mumble and it has stacks. Stadium is dead. Newbie mixes don't exist.

Like it or not, tf2center is the place to go if you want to play a quick game of 6s, especially if you're new. Sure, it's far from perfect, it has some toxic retards but not everyone is an absolute twat. And guess what, games don't take hours to start because it actually has a playerbase

Faceit is the better option. If you can hop on the discord and use comms its not nearly as bad as TF2 center lobbies.

#8 Where to start playing 6v6 TF2 in EU? in Q/A Help

Its a shame we don't have newbie mixes anymore. It gave brand new players some structure and you played with people who were in the same boat as you. I used to run a lot of theses some years ago and we used to have teams formed from the mixes which was really good for the scene.

If you want my advice i would say this:

EDIT: If i was to start playing TF2 fresh in the scene i would try to actively find a team in open as quickly as possible. When you get some league experience under your belt it gives you an idea of what is needed from you to be a good player. Watch demos or stv's of the best players. Consume as much 6v6 TF2 as you can. Unlike when i started there is a huge amount of resources for you to help you improve. Its all been linked on this thread.

Tf2 center is basically pure trash tf2 and I would avoid it at all costs. It has a really awful player base of some of the most toxic players I've ever met in TF2.(and that's impressive in this community) and new players will just get slammed by stacks or shitalked by their own team.

Face it is slightly better but still not ideal for new players. Every time I play face it I am put on a team with Russians who cant communicate in English or don't say anything at all. People give up after a round loss throw or just troll the entire game. Sure you might get a good game with communication every now and again but it is rare. It was potential to be amazing. But ironically because of the low player count in matchmaking the worse off it is. Which is why if you are going to play some semi organised TF2 you should jump in the queue. Unlike TF2 center I wouldn't avoid it like the plague.

Honestly I would play Mixchamp (if its still active) if you aren't picked on pugchamp or play Pugchamp at off peak times. They are at least organised and for the most part not toxic bad experiences.

EDIT: You should play MGE and jump maps if you plan on playing in 6v6 in my opinion. It gives you control of the game and you get used to certain mechanics which may not be apparent in pubs. All classes benefit when you grind those out.

I've been thinking about starting newbie mixes again. So if anything happens on that i'll make a post about it.

1. Venue

#69 Global Whitelist Lists Post-Meeting in TF2 General Discussion

MR_SLINI'm confused people told me the rescue ranger was awful and you didn't want to play with it anymore, and it was justifiable to ban it ASAP? I might have misunderstood, just seeking clarification.

To take it further you guys want to see a Rewind LAN with rescue ranger then?

Just keep the current WL until after lan. Then make changes. I had no idea we were determining the white list outcome for lan.

#63 Global Whitelist Lists Post-Meeting in TF2 General Discussion

MR_SLINMeeting notes:
1. We won't be unbanning anything for the rewind LAN because it could drastically change results due to limited preparation. Players on both sides of the pond agreed that the rescue ranger and jarate were the worst offenders and needed to be banned regardless, at least for the time being.
2. We can always schedule a follow-up meeting but league play starts in a week so let's start experimenting now.
3. There are major issues regarding consistency of weapon bans. People wanted to ban the cow mangler simply because it was annoying (not game breaking) but couldn't apply the same logic to the natscha or the fan of war.
4. We should operate under the assumption that Valve won't give us major game balancing updates more than a few times per year.
5. We shouldn't make massive changes from the last global whitelist. Thus we proposed only 7 changes.
6. Tri specifically (ESEA) was against the quick fix and the solemn vow for reasons you guys have listed above. We agreed to a week of playtesting followed by a solid decision.

I don't think it was as unanimous as you stated here. I'm pretty sure we all agreed not changing the whitelist until after lan.

https://soundcloud.com/jonathan-richard-baylis/sets/grinding-out-tf2-skill

Stick it on shuffle and enjoy.

Also if you want to share your playlist link it and ill have a listen.
