Guess this might seem like an unpopular opinion but I didn't mind the RahThreads at all. They mostly only got bumped incessantly either from genuine discussion or bc of people complaining that they were there. It seems like more of a meme that people have coalesced an opinion on rather than an actual problem.

The "flaws of 6s" thread became a pretty good conversation that lasted 3 pages of mostly healthy discussion. The "favorite tf2 player quotes" thread became a pretty good megathread/dumping ground for often funny or forgotten quotes and moments from tf2 history. The "how did you get into tf2" thread was kind of useless discussion-wise but was still a good outlet for people to talk about themselves.

There's not enough posts on this site overall for it to become spammy even if the posts were shit. I log in every few days and could easily see all the new threads in the first page, so I don't really see the big problem. It especially seems weird when there's site moderators in this thread telling u to stop making content for their forum.

Of course they could definitely be spaced out a little bit more just to give each thread a little breathing room, so as not to dilute or derail discussions, but I'd rather have daily RahThreads than the fucking barren wasteland that I first came back to last year.

blu owns i guess (second set of percentages removes ties from the total, for a more direct red vs blu comparison)

Looks like they made it as far as Liquid (ScreaM & Jamppi) and Fnatic (tsack lol). The team they lost to (Opportunists, with Happy and some shit French cs rejects) 2-0'd the team that 2-0'd Liquid (Guild Esports with Draken)

EU Valorant mostly looks like a crapshoot so far—there's only 5 good or smart ex-CS players who've moved over (speaking generously), so the Haffi team probably has just a good a chance of signing with a decent to good org as anyone else here.

In the meantime don't forget to cheer nukkye on Heretics

i love to post

TF2 - Mass A.I.
"Tears In Rain" - by Dellort

this incentivizes pushing out from last but de-incentivizes pushing 2nd or mid. it doesn't really fix the "problem" that a team playing defensively has the advantage, it just makes the team that wins mid the defensive team instead of the team that loses it.

i feel like this benefits the defensive team more than the offensive. if you lose mid you have like 1-2 minutes to push out of your own 2nd/last and win, so it's a much better plan to just turtle last and give it another go next midfight. the reason people don't turtle mid with 10 minute timer is because it's hard to hold last for like 8-9 minutes.

i turtled Gully last for like 20 minutes one time but it required their med dropping like 3 times, them constantly losing players without trading, and 10 of their pushes in a row being 100% grass-fed beef. turtling for like 1-2 minutes though would be completely viable.

CS downtime:
A) isn't a stalemate
B) still has things happening, position being taken, info gained, spam damage traded etc
C) can only last for about a minute at a time

TF2 downtime:
A) is usually a stalemate
B) generally has nothing important happening. maps are segmented enough that you can't really take any position without a push, positional info is readily available and largely useless, spam damage can be healed away—even on a pick you can just kill the counter sack/play passive and wait for respawn
C) can last as long as both teams keep playing passively without making major mistakes

Take 2 minutes to listen to a CSGO cast and you can hear the casters talking through what's happening in the first 40 seconds of a round—this player's smoking here so these players can cross to here, they're checking this position, they're baiting a CT push, they're setting up nades for the B execute. The "passive" gameplay here is, even in the slowest and most procedural games, actually pretty active and important

In TF2 anything with permanent impact on a stalemate is immediately followed by the push—i.e. the passive gameplay is only important when it immediately leads to active gameplay

And btw viewers still complain all the time when teams like Astralis or Na`Vi play slow or procedural rounds

dogg u got a girlfriend??
