You're fucked then, in a lot of the matches in the last few seasons the stvs have either been completely down or otherwise broken so there's no option to download certain ones (i.e., games where shade had to view a steam broadcast cause stv was down). It appears that since the first map of the bo3 had the stv issues that the other ones did as well even though you could watch them live.
You could ask players in the match for pov demos because esea automatically records them but they may not give them to you.

I can understand where you're coming from but that claim is by no means objective. Don't get me wrong, it is fun to jump around and do damage but there's more to medic than just hiding and healing people lol. I can't speak for others but some of the reasons I play medic is because it gives you a huge amount of control over the pace of the game with ubers and stuff, as well as the fact that you are the most important class in the game and depending on how well you play you can make a huge difference on the outcome of the game (i.e., if you play well and you survive/don't easily get forced/can accurately track ubers, you can turn small advantages into round winning plays, whereas if you play poorly and die all the time/drop uber it can cost your team rounds). Hitting surfs and crossbows/clutch ubersaws and stuff like that is also fun and rewarding.

first off kys this is the most mediocre dh gameplay ive ever seen also the fact that some people actually play with their viewmodel like that actually baffles me

that would just make people even more reliant on using arrows to heal lol you would just build and do everything besides buffing with arrows and then pull out the medigun to uber

For some reason I forgot they were the first iteration of EVL that season, probably because I'm so accustomed to thinking of the current EVL which she did play for at one point. That was a nuts play tho wtf that's some medic main on scout type shit lol what a surf.

I played a bit (mostly tf2mix/pugna/lobbies/ugc) before the crossbow passive reload buff and didn't mind it but given how accustomed ive gotten to using arrows and how much the meta has shifted towards efficiently utilizing arrows (arrow building, demos getting bowed at the start of mid, etc.) it wouldn't make sense to ban it. I agree with marm and those who said it should get nerfed but at the end of the day that's up to valve and I'm quite pessimistic that they will actually change it (not to mention change it in the right way). Would definitely lower the skill ceiling and make medic a lot less fun/more boring if all you could do was beam people and occasionally try to needle scouts.

Not to discredit what you're saying but nursey played on luca goers in s21 and afaik the only recent time froyo was in the lower bracket finals was when they lost to showstopper in s20, and that season woodpig got fourth so you must be thinking of something else

You're misremembering, that was condescending candlestick, I played with neon in s19 with stoperr ranga will and nick

Jynx is a lord tbh

IS THAT THE REAL NEON CHARMANDER BACK FROM THE DEAD???

KTB aka r0cket_wizard is the best gamer dad...

Freestate legacy when?

jumper main

Medic class is already boring af if you removed crossbows im sure 90% of medics would just stop playing the class because it's not fun at all anymore (except for the few who played before the xbow buff i.e., Marxist, lucrative)
I agree that in a perfect world if valve listened to anything we wanted it should get nerfed but realistically, that's not gonna​ happen anytime soon
Idk about whether or not it would speed the meta up but it doesn't really matter because any good team can speed up and slow down the pace of the game if they want to depending on the situation (i.e., crowns/evl vs mix^)
I feel like the bigger issue is just the way it can swing fights so easily as well as the dumb mechanic that is arrowing a heavy over and over as he gets shot during an uber

- alright dude you're on meth if you think the direct hit should be banned its literally only good if you have perfect aim and even then its not really more broken than a sniper hitting every huntsman headshot or spy hitting every amby headshot or some other highly aim based weapon
- same with the market gardener it's got a huge skill ceiling and technically is a direct upgrade from stock but compared to the escape plan it's much more of a gimmick high risk low percentage of reward (for some reason euros tend to run it a lot more than in na, i wonder why... do they like gimmicks?)
- air strike and beggars are good memes like 1% of the time definitely don't need to be banned
- honestly have no idea why you banned the fan and back scatter they're not nearly as good as scatter aside from a few niche scenarios
- phlogistinator is a dumb meme but you don't have airblast so imo its not really overpowered as the main use of pyro class is hitting m2 (or getting ubered with it if you're sideshow and are fucking around)
- booties are def not overpowered or worth banning (imo loch n load is the same but its debatable)
- unless you're a pub fascist and hate fun (tsc) the shields shouldn't be banned either
- the caber got nerfed and cant 1 shot a medic anymore so idk about banning it (in either this or the slightly less strict whitelist)
- both the tomislav and natascha are kinda dumb for their own reasons but idk if they're really meta breaking and worth banning
- sandvich is kinda dumb imo but it didnt completely disrupt the meta or anything
- banning the crossbow is debatable but definitely controversial lol
- huntsman is not good enough to be banned
- not sure why you banned dead ringer its not really even good

none of these options allows for the banning of stupid shit like cow mangler, jarate, machina (mini sentries are debatable), while still allowing non-controvertial things like dh
i propose we have an actual discussion between invite captains and people from various regions instead of letting supreme ruler GentlemanJon give us a list of 5 predetermined options and say its my way or the highway
