Seeing live games from sourcetv's don't always tell the story of what's really going on in the game, nor do the end game stats. You'd need to be on mumble to really get the full scoop of the decision making and synergy going on during the game. Since TF2 is very team oriented different players can bring out the best in other players depending on their styles. Some people prefer quieter medics because they prefer to main call like Plat, while some require medics that are more vocal to guide. It all depends on what compliments your pocket to play to their potential I think.

One scout might be the aggro scout getting all the kills and making plays, the other scout may be the passive one playing around the flank making sure points get capped. The aggro scout may appear to have way better damage/frag numbers all around but it's really just the role they're playing. Their role makes them look like the better scout. The passive scout with inferior numbers could actually be the better all around scout though. However the stats don't say so. This goes back to different medics complimenting their pocket. A good medic could make their pocket look good or bad. At the end of the day if your pocket looks amazing then your medic must be doing a pretty good job at keeping him alive to get those stats in. No glory!

Shade and tyrone are a pretty good example from the past.

Each class has it's advantages and weaknesses i'd say. That's why the game is very situational and strategic. If any class is over powered though it's probably the scout. At least the best players have been able to abuse the strengths of that class more than the others imo.

Banny has really taken demo to a whole new level, I think Platinum came close to that level as far as intelligent game changers go. They're just so smart and understand how to put out damage where it's needed to continue giving your team a better dm situation health wise. Also with their play calling.

Tic did great in his prior stint in invite with AI. Since when did you jump on the bandwagon masonator? I guess i'm Ma3la's healbot too. Or whoever it is i'm supposed to be healing. Or REPs healbot. He definitely duplicated his statistics the following season after 90lg in invite!

IDK! :D Just wanna play and have fun. Tic is a beast one of the best raw dm'ers i've ever played with. Not to take anything away from anyone i've ever medic'd for, but it is called a combo for a reason. A great soldier with a shitty medic won't look that great for obvious reasons. It's a team game. I like the dm heavy pockets that I can micro manage since I main call and it usually seems to work well.

So sad you've turned mason! We have tf2lobby history together! :(
Facts > ignorance. Every real medic out there knows it's a no glory class, but one of the most important ones which is what makes it fun to play.

In invite you do kind of get a paycheck. And you also get the satisfaction of winning. I bet there's been many invite winners who didn't all get along all the time.

Reality though is there's plenty of people who treat tf2 as if it IS a job and not a hobby, or both. That's the competitive side of it. Some people put more than 60 hours a week in playing this game, instead of working a full time job. Why put so much time in to practice and get better if it's just a hobby and not something serious that's goal oriented such as playing in invite to win prize money and develop e-fame? Everyone is different of course but for a lot of people it's not always about who you play with it's about if you can win or not. I understand the "I want to play with friends" notion but that's another thing that could be hampering lower tier teams. I'd personally rather just play with friends and enjoy the game because of where i'm at in my life hence why we're starting from scratch. In the past though while in different personal situations it was different. To each his own I guess. The compLexity of TF2!

Actually being a manager at my job, I have to deal with many different kinds of people and personalities but ultimately it's my job to make it work and function at the highest level possible. I don't always like the people who work for me but I still have to make it work if i want to succeed. Team leaders usually tend to that job. If you want to win of course. I forget a lot of people on these forums haven't really gotten into the working age yet.

Anywho you guys are right, enough with the fantasy bs. Have a good season!

I don't think the players would be miserable. Good leaders/managers can manage anyone you just have to do so on an individual level. I'm sure some of the lower invite players would be ecstatic to be playing with the likes of you. Maybe not vice versa however. The teams that can develop the chemistry/team work will be the best instead of the teams with the most stacked lineups. Odds are even with a draft you'd be on a team with other people you've played with before. Albeit they wouldn't have been your first pick if you had your way, but perhaps your second or third. That's what would make it more competitive and balanced though. World Series of TF2!

This wouldn't really do much for you since you're on top anyway usually winning the 1st or 2nd max payout, it would more or less be more of a personal challenge I guess for the likes of you and banny. Who can make it work with anyone not just the best of the best sort of thing. That measly $1,000 MAX a person is what every person competes for in invite every season but as we pointed out only 2 teams really have the only shot at winning it each season. No ones arguing here though just brought up an idea and discussing it! Good luck this season brother.

Would you play?! It is a fantasy draft type of idea Mike. You seriously don't think it'd be more exciting than what we currently have though? The difference is you'd have 8 more evenly matched teams with more hope to play/practice for and better chances to win. Just a pipe dream idea which will probably never come to fruition though. Wouldn't be able to run a fantasy league and esea at the same time it would interfere too much.

everyone of them don't know me personally, and are probably bad. that's the obvious though. now i'm really done though this is getting ridic.

Actually I commented normally originally, the trolling came from your 11 year old troll click. I can see why you came to Junes defense though since you're both very similar.

Be careful enigga may take away your admin status if you keep abusing it! Licking good players asses will only get you so far.

Ban lasted a long time. You can't ban people because you look like a moron.

Terrible come back. Use facts not heresay. I'm out. Cya next time when I randomly decide to post again! Weirdo

name em djccc, considering i'm playing with half of them this season.

Oh my bad he's even worse than I thought. Forgot about June finally cared enough to look at his steam profile. He was that kid who played forever who never got better. Then he got fat kidded in pugs so much and just stopped playing. Now I remember. Just a dedicated forum troll now I guess. Now I understand the bitterness and hostility. Anywho. Enjoy your forums buddy!

And you realize Arcs team went from IM to invite with me on it, and in invite tictac wasn't my pocket he went inactive due to work we picked up Ma3la to pocket and finished 5th. Medics get no love I swear! At least know what you're talking about if you're going to be a professional forum troll. I don't claim to be the greatest player in the game and never have. Most good players have ego's that's part of what makes them good; their confidence. To the people who've actually played with me know i'm an older easy going guy. Toodles ~

Thank you Kermit. This forum is out of control lol

And we'll see at the end of the season I guess pot. Good luck.
