i agree with mason and nursey but another factor is that for some reason in na most invite players don't tend to frag clips/videos whereas loads of prem players regularly make frag vids (and some will include nearly every airshot/cool frag they hit in pugs and shit which makes it look like they happen disproportionately often)

I have a pair of Shure SE215's and have found them to be pretty good for stuff like noisy bus/subway rides due to their isolation. They were however quite uncomfortable at first and it took me a while to adjust to the somewhat large earpiece. As far as earbuds go though, they're clearly quite well built and seem to be almost indestructible. Sound quality is pretty solid, and I think they have a version with an inline mic/remote for iphones as well. Coming from the AD700s you may find them a bit bassy, but maybe that's what you're looking for.
Also I'm not sure about reddit but if you're looking for more specific recommendations/reviews/whatnot, you may want to check out headfi as that seems to be where a lot of the headphone nerds tend to congregate.
tscOn the sub issue, as I've said before:
tscWe also hope to allow captains to choose from a pool of players narrowed down from those who apply to the sub spot rather than being assigned a sub automatically.
We've been asking for this for literally like a year now, you can't just keep saying 'yeah we're hoping to fix it eventually' but then never do anything about it.
As dirtymort said, with the current state of affairs, captains are put in a really shitty spot because people can take sub spots in pugs where everyone is way better than them and ruin the game, but if as a captain you sub out a sub (because everyone agrees, rktman subbing scout in a pug full of invite players is not a good idea) you can get banned even if it is for the greater good of the pug to do so. Until this is changed, I'm going to continue instasubbing rktman whenever he slithers his way into my pug on a fragging class (sorry bub, maybe one day you'll learn...)
tscOn the topic of waiting to start a game, I do see the benefit of flexibility and allowing players to wait for a sub if one doesn't show up. However, I also don't think it's ideal for someone to be forced to wait for a long time simply because a player didn't show up and other players in the game are willing to wait for a substitute for that long.
As laz said earlier this just doesn't make any sense practically. Because there will inevitably be people who take a long time to show up or don't show at all, it makes no sense to kill the pug and force EVERYONE to wait for a redraft (not to mention the possibility of not being picked in the redraft, for example if another pug ends right at the same time, causing them to wait for yet another draft process and still have the possibility of not playing).
Also given how long it currently takes for pugs to start with servers initializing and with the bullshit 'you are not authorized to join this server' glitches, 5 minutes to join is definitely too short. If y'all can get your shit together and make everything much smoother it would be fine (e.g, in freakpugs the info comes up almost instantly with no issue), but as is the timer should probably be more like 10 minutes.
Just make sure to allow the people in the pug to actually choose weather or not they want it to be killed, because as surprising as this may seem to a fascist who literally doesn't play the game ever not to mention pugs, some people enjoy playing tf2 with their friends and are willing to wait for them instead of having an automated system 'fix' the problem by aborting the game.
I definitely have older screenshots than this but this is the first one I could find backed up on steam

was harb on meth how the fuck does he think hawaii is off the east coast of south america lmao
So I'm an idiot and should have done this months ago, but I got confused by it requiring a postcode and put it off until now and now the multiplay says that the i61 byoc rentals are all sold out. I remember reading somewhere that the rentals for v8 or v10 were sold out a little while ago, but I kind of want to believe that they're just restocking them or something? Maybe they're just out...

Also, I haven't purchased my tickets but I seem to remember last year that you could get into the byoc hall if you had a friend with a pass. If I'm not going to be able to rent a PC I guess I might as well not drop a hundred bucks for a byoc pass (unless i decide to bring a laptop lol). Is this the sort of thing I can count on or will they not let you in if they catch you without a ticket?

mad chill and has improved a lot recently (that freakpug GRIND), pretty solid aim/dm on scout just needs experience then he will farm
slemnishi used dx8 forever then tried dx9 and got better fps so i stuck wit dat
this and afaik, dx9 allows you to see uber flickering on and off at the very end which can be helpful sometimes
Box of Max n Cheese is a Strong demon man player and is mad chill
also i think he got a new pc which should allow him to open his Third Eye and Dick on kids
