is this guy from reddit?

Shotgun in quake is exactly that

Muster up what willpower you have and endure it. Work towards the bigger goal that playing for this team will push you towards.

When you think that you can't take anymore, just imagine your end game, the amount of work it took to get this close to it, and the satisfaction and self fulfillment that you'll feel when you achieve it, or even just progress a bit further towards it.

I think the one time my mother ever laid a hand on me was when I was a toddler, and I punched her because I thought she was misbehaving. She retaliated by hitting me as hard as she could because according to her, my toddler punch apparently hurt her from what she says. I never hit her ever again after that. My father never hit me because he was never around, so aside from that one instance, I've never been struck or spanked. I'm not sure if my reluctance to use physical violence when all other options have been exhausted is because of this, but it's certainly possible.

I don't think smacking or beating your children is the way to properly convey to them that a certain action is unacceptable, and I'd never hit any child I may or may not end up having. Like others have said, there are better ways to teach children how to behave, even if they're momentarily inconvenient and require you to take time out of your day.

It's a game that attracts people new to arena shooters and the fps genre in general due to the way Valve has marketed it in the past decade.

They're unable to understand why their opinions are less than beneficial towards the game because to them this is a wacky and crazy game where a bunch of funny random shit happens. They don't know anything about weapon balancing or class balancing.

They just want to play and have a good time, and to them, the big bad 6s players are taking away their fun for what they see as no reason whatsoever.

You have no idea...

I actually wasn't aware of the pipe damage inconsistency. In that case I'd be fine with them leaving pipes alone to do constant 100.

Honestly, new balances aside, I'd love for them to revert demo's primaries back to what they used to be pre nerf.

gives me hope that may or may not be crushed in the future

good blogpost

preach my man

Wasn't around for that so I honestly had no idea that was the case. That's kinda neat.

I definitely don't think reducing accuracy on the ambassador in any aspect is the right way to balance the weapon. Like others have said I believe a sort of damage falloff for distance would be preferential to the "the game decided its gonna miss" rebalance.

With that being said though, holy shit, pushing last with a heavy present is going to be HARD. They can store their ramp up damage if they stay revved. If they decide to fire the gun off for a little while during a last stalemate and hold it I can easily see anything that isn't ubered just being torn to shreds.

I think you guys are somewhat missing the point. He's not saying to use the meet the videos literally, he's saying that Valve could attempt to explain how each class works properly in a competitive setting via animated sfm videos in a comical way, much like the way they were used to introduce us to the characters.

The entire concept of a transitional format in itself is flawed. A format that's not only easier to get into with a lower skill ceiling and the ability to play their off-class full-time? Why would the average player have any incentive to move to 6s in that case, especially if they didn't start out as a Scout, Soldier, Demo or Medic main? It was doomed to divide the community from the start.

shit you've got a good point
