no that is not what that means, i'm just expressing my opinion.
let's pretend for a moment that it doesn't slow down the game. does a weapon that allows you win 1v1s that you otherwise would not win sound like something that belongs in a competitive game? does that sound like something that fosters an environment that rewards skill? it should be banned for that reason alone. would it make you feel better if i said "in my opinion"?

smaka, nice non-garbage post. as you say, it keeps the soldier alive for far too long and that is my reasoning for why it slows down the game. maybe i needed to be a little more explicit to get my point across.

do you think you're being clever or something?
you clearly didn't read #63

i can't exactly show you graphs, statistics and charts but it doesn't take a genius to understand why blackbox slows down the game, it's properties encourage sit-and-spam tactics and essentially gives it's wielder more hp. it slows down the game in the same way, but not to the same degree, as heavy slows down the game due to his hp; it makes it's wielder more difficult to kill. it also let's you get away with easy 1v1s even if the other guy hit all of his shots and that kind of situation should never be happening in a competitive game; it's just a dumb mechanic. i'm talking in extremes to prove a point; of course blackbox isn't going to drastically slow down the game but every step in that direction is the wrong one if you want to foster a good competitive environment.

yes you can make a case for everything slowing down the game but some things slow things down further than what is already necessary/balanced/fun. the goal shouldn't be to have a super fast paced game, the goal should be to have a nice balance of all the elements tf2 has to offer. the beauty of tf2 is that each class is completely different with their own strengths and weaknesses and the best teams are the ones that know how to fill each others weaknesses with their own strengths, the demo class fulfills the role of slowing down the enemy team quite well, that is why he is limited to 1 per team and why there shouldn't be other classes that fulfill that role. otherwise we'd just ban demo; would that make the game more fast paced? for sure. will it make it a better, more diverse game? no. the roamer class is unique in the sense of it's mobility/fluidity/bombing capabilities and that role needs to be fulfilled over having another class that slows down the game.

that's irrelevant considering my steam message and my post is in reference to the same instance
another garbage post

just watched the first episode, awesome stuff.

Since you're clearly referring to this post I'd like to point out that I didn't just say "garbage post", rather I provided an explanation as to why your post was such garbage. I invite everyone to take another look at it and laugh at how garbage remedy's post is.

That being said, I'm thankful I don't have to explain to someone why a weapon that encourages sit-and-spam tactics and lets you get away with dumb plays slows down the game because others have already done so.

news flash: that's what you do anyway

yeah but that's just how demo is, we don't need something else to slow down the game further
also you can't ban stickies

blackbox should be banned because it slows down the game

fucking chip

p. sure that was intentional

haven't see a frag video with this kind of quality in a while. it's refreshing to see punk rock being used in a frag video. the best frag videos are ones that dance to the music and this one does that quite well.

we dont take kindly to your kind round these parts
