that's what happens when your roamer takes 20% heals and hops into the ubers as soon as your pocket has used 4 rockets and/or died

harbleumustardoverlordlol please don't act like seasons 8-12 was the peak of hl skill. the only players who think that are the ones that were only relevant during that time.Xanmustardoverlord
aside from the concept of even including hl being sort of laughable (see: b4nny never winning it), harbleu only won hl once all the actual good hl teams quit
Was it S16, S13, or S10 after all the good teams quit, because there were very good teams in all those seasons. B4nny has come in 3rd a couple of times, and I think 2nd at least once.
Sidenote, when did you become this enlightened anti-HL player. After what, 6 seasons of leading teams to absolute failure and being so proud of that weekend tournament you won. Either way it's a game-type in TF2.
s10 was a summer season with basically 0 good teams
s13 was MAYBE the last decent season of hl (sorta pushing it) but they got to play legendary chokers ET in the finals
s16 was well after all the good teams quit
I was under the assumption that everyone who knows anything about tf2 is, to some degree, an anti-HL player
I'm sure I'd convince myself of that too if I started getting 1st place medals immediately afterwards
nykTino_F2, byte, dunc, I just don't think they were as good on medic as knoxXx or mirelin. However, byte was a very good and smart playermustardoverlordnykmustardoverlordI don't even think mirelin is the best player, I just think he was the best at the mechanics of medic, the movement. In terms of medics europe is pretty shit compared to NA, I'd say shade, harbleu, pyyyour were all better than any European medic. Obviously b4nny is the best playernykmustardoverlordknoxXx? lolnykI don't think anybody's going to be like mirelin ever again
The boy was just magical
yeah...not even the best medic from europe
yes, and it's not even remotely close
knoxxx was definitely better than pure, and probably equal to or better than harbleu
movement is like maybe 30% of the mechanics of medic, knoxxx had better heals, was a much better caller, and had better positioning
and he could play soldier decently too
I agree but I feel like you are missing some of the old school meds like F2 etc.. Euros had some p.good meds
dunc was pretty shit tbh
byte was probably good enough to earn like a super duper honorable mention

I weigh things based on the difficulty of various eras
if you include F2 you gotta include Royze, agron, kyyynel, etc. and that's just too much
I trim the list by factoring in the level of play

XanOkay, hear me out on this one because it leans heavily on Highlander and I understand the lolhl approach. Even though there is a general dislike of Highlander as a format it still takes a fair amount of skill to actually succeed at, some of the better 6s players tend to have some trouble transitioning back and forth.
I do think that 6s would and should weigh much more heavily, but once we get to that level we have to find other factors to separate people out. I think that top 3, at least for NA because I will readily admit to a lack of knowledge regarding EU players, should be
1. B4nny
2. Harbleu
3. Platinum
I think what places B4nny at the top is not just his continual success, but his continual success across multiple classes. He has done it one Demo, Scout, and Pocket at Top of Invite and possibly top 2 or 3 for each of those role during those seasons.
I believe that Harbleu is second because of his performance on both Medic and Roamer over the seasons of invite that he played, with 1st place in Invite generally being traded back and forth between B4nny and Harbleu teams for many seasons in a row. What puts Harbleu in 2nd over the likes of Platinum, CW, and Enigma is his high level of success in HL generally leading those teams. I was going to put together a terrible article for something I was going to call the "TF2 Triple Crown" to see if anybody has won Invite/Premier, Platinum/Premier Highlander, and an Insomnia Lan in the same season. The only person that I found who did that successfully was Harbleu before I quit doing the research because going through Vanilla.tv's archives made me want to burn down buildings.
Platinum for a lot of the reasons of both, being an insanely good Pocket and Demoman over a long period of time.
aside from the concept of even including hl being sort of laughable (see: b4nny never winning it), harbleu only won hl once all the actual good hl teams quit
spammymustardoverlordI like his playstyle personally and I have different opinionspammySchocky for his movement back in the gold days, cookye/haffi/stark for the smart plays
please do not put hafficool's name anywhere near the rest of those players
you could literally plug in like 10 different random eu scouts and have a reasonable facsimile of him, what he does is not nearly as difficult as the other players u posted

I've followed this game since like s4-5 and it's just the truth
