#209 sigafoo's Challenge Cup in TF2 General Discussion
MR_SLINniteMR_SLINI don't think Valve thinks that TF2 with no class limits is the best way to push the game forward.
if this is the case then why doesn't valve give us any indication more than a cryptic post from someone who visited valve months ago? It's not like the format sigafoo is pushing for this tournament is any closer to the theoretical future valve competitive system than current matchmaking is, and if it IS closer then why leave 99% of the community in the dark about it?
You already know what valve's policy is on community communication, so I assume this is rhetorical?

Valve doesn't do direct communication with the community. It's fairly well known and documented.

That's a roundabout way to say "valve is dumb"

Why even spend 2k on this shit it's all been gone through before and it's been proven to be terrible. You could spend 2k vaccinating kids and end up with less autism

#80 What will you quit tf2 for? in TF2 General Discussion

I'm kind of excited for Space Hulk but I know how the 40k games have been going recently so I suppose I'm just setting myself up for disappointment. Originally it was going to be Lawbreakers but the alpha for that showed a lot of problems I don't think they're up to fixing. Might head back to WoW for a little bit.

#12 Coach to i58 maybe unfair? in TF2 General Discussion

Having a coach that can maincall and coordinate flank and combo while seeing every perspective on the team is retarded.
Main calling is incredibly gamesense and skill dependent and the right calls can make or break a game. Having to coordinate your team while comming effectively with them is part of the skillcap of tf2.
Having one person just call while the rest of the team can jut focus on fragging lowers the skillcap of the game and is obnoxious because now every other team would need to grab a 7th player just to ensure that they aren't at an unfair disadvantage.

#86 Crowns are gold at Insomnia58 in News
TomuStark made a game changer in the GC and probably not kaidus and that's where it came down to really.So GGWP.

Honestly a lot of their games were so close this entire lan that if just one advantaged was removed they probably wouldn't have done nearly as well. Kaidus coaching was a huge advantage.

#14 TF2 ranked higher then Overwatch in TF2 General Discussion
pokemonizepicnetwrkjrkshojanbut blizzard is a better company then valve.huh? not saying that valve is the best company ever but blizzard is pretty badhow is blizzard bad? they're actively listening to the OW community and are doing their best to improve the game

Blizzard isn't just OW, they've managed to screw over Starcraft, WoW and Diablo and they're really working on screwing over Hearthstone.

#16 Uncle Dane Plugs i58 - among other things in TF2 General Discussion
XenThePybroHonestly I support most of what Dane says (not all) I think we need more people like this who are invested in the pub and competitive community. Yes Dane may not be one hundred percent correct but compared to muselk or scottjaw it is gold.

Muselk was the only tf2 "celebrity" who was correct about the mym update. Everyone else said it was going to be great. He said he didn't trust valve to do it right. Granted with slin and b4nny lying and saying it was going to be an amazing update because valve supposedly showed them it beforehand it was a risky position to take. But he still was right.

#62 Warhuryeah rant? in TF2 General Discussion

I said before i didn't have faith in valve to pull something like MM off given their track record with tf2 but I got called an idiot and that Valve really was listening to the community this time. I'm still salty.

Valve has no record of supporting any additions they've made to tf2 past a few months (except hats) , and MM is very very quickly reaching that limit. We should expect them to stop working on it after the next couple updates probably and if those don't take off it's completely dead.

Honestly now, it's probably far too late. I was queing on a weekday evening, about 7pm pst, what should be absolute prime time for gaming, less than 700 people qued for MM in the world. Every match I was placed in had most of the same people in it, just scrambled around. That's an embarrassingly low player base. What incentive does Valve have to work on a game mode .01% of their player base actually uses? One that doesn't earn them any real money yet requires a significant investment from the small TF2 team?

Many developers would kill to have a competitive scene with the passion and dedication that TF2 has, and would support them hand and foot, but competitive TF2 has really existed in spite of Valve rather than because of them. It's time to accept MM and Valve are more than likely never going to be the savior of competitive TF2, and that competitive TF2 is nearing the end of its lifespan, there's only so much a community, even one as passionate as TF2s, can do in the face of such disinterest and disregard by the game's company.

#646 unpopular tf2 opinions in TF2 General Discussion
unfiliumphobiaThat's not constructive criticism, nor does it have much to do with truktruk's actual casting. If you don't like his voice that's fine, but it has very little to do with the quality of his casting.
There is an unobjectivly better voice for broadcast. That's why there are literally broadcast voice classes.

this is so dumb i cant even

Look at any news anchor, any radio host, anyone who makes a career out of their voice. None of them have a nasally high pitched voice. Most of them have taken broadcast speaking classes.

truktrukpendaall these NA casters suck now
I disagree that we all suck, but if you (or anyone that thinks the same) could provide some constructive criticism, it would help everyone. It's kind of shitty to be talked down upon then receive no feedback on how to improve.

Take some voice classes. Your voice comes straight from the back of your throat and is incredibly high pitched for an adult male. It is not pleasant. Ask getawhale he sounds like he's taken classes.

#59 MaxBox Quitting in TF2 General Discussion

I would like to remind everyone of this epic salt mine of a video where max tries to call out someone who beat him for hacking using a STV demo and and the incompetent arrogance that comes with paying $20 for LMAOBOX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vu5cDY39FA
