I honestly believe that MGE vs scouts is really helpful as demo, because there are tons of situations where you're doin normal mid range demo spam and a scout forces you to DM him, and being able to shift from just spamming to actively DMing a scout on a moment's notice means that having that muscle memory (as termo said, the sticky-pipe combo) is really useful

from my experience, good players will always be willing to MGE a demo, whereas MGE shitlords will complain and ragequit. I have never seen a current or former invite player ever complain about stickies, with one exception who shall remain nameless, but suffice it to say he's really washed up.

edit: I feel I also need to add that pipes only anything is just a ridiculous waste of everybody's time. it won't make you better, it won't make your opponent better, might as well just never do that ever.

I think the important distinction here is that people are claiming that, with how subtle the new hot silent aimbot that everyone seems to be using is, cheating on lan is a lot more plausible than it used to be.

Now, I'm still not personally convinced that any of these people with the possible exception of sf attempted to cheat on lan, but given that such is apparently a possibility, having anti-cheat admins looking at online results suddenly seems like less of a priority for the top teams that go to all the lans anyways.

I mean its possible that these guys are cheating but given the level of witch hunting going on I think yall should take things with a grain of salt

my opinion of these changes:

radius: would possibly be acceptable in terms of limiting raw dmg on say a mid fight, but would make demos even worse in 1v1 situations, as demos don't just use pipes to fight off bombing sollies and +forwarding scouts as some people seem to believe, but use stickies as a deterrent- this nerf would make that more difficult and you'd see more scouts and soldiers going for high-risk high-reward plays, only their risk would be lessened

brighter sticky trails: would be great if it could be implemented without killing everyone's fps. idk if it can though.

bellcurve damage system: I really don't like this because it punishes a more difficult aspect of using stickies.

honestly, I think the only really viable nerf would be to reduce stickies from like 8 to 6.

weird, because I seem to remember that sentries were almost completely unkillable, heavies getting continually buffed actually countered demos rather than vice versa, and that demos in 6s were frequently bottomdamaging and contributing almost nothing to games, and that sometimes they did more going heavy

This is pretty much my stance as well, well put

mesr is the besr

the thing about demoman is that it's extremely balanced in 6v6, it's just overpowered as fuck in highlander and especially in pubs

it's frankly a miracle that valve hasn't nerfed the shit out of it even more because they almost never balance around 6s

but if demo is nerfed it will hurt 6s, and since 6s is by far the most balanced and respectable way to play tf2, that would be really bad

"yeah...

Im a gamer, i mostly play FPS but my favorite genre will always be RTS.

A good note here is that my younger brother also uses my Steam account so make sure you know who you're playing with.

also join the forums at filefront because it is a great place to meet people over the intranet.

I also have a youtube account called roboshark3 so please check it out if your on my friends list so that we could make a video.

My xbox live GT is roboshark 4 so add me if you really want to.

so yeah... lets play a game already."

arctic joe is the best player in the history of tf2 so this is probably a good thing

bump, feel free to appreciate the finer points of axiomatic's idiocy as well but remember that this is still sorta kinda a looking thread h3h

I tried to play a season of cevo with friends

the problem is, you almost get punished for actually scheduling and showing up for matches, cuz if the other team doesn't show you actually get rescheduled with another opponent instead of getting a forfeit win

we tried to make it so we played 4 games in 2 weeks so we could get them out of the way before I went on vacation, then all our opponents forfeited and literally every single one of those games was moved to my vacation time so we just said fuck it and disbanded the team

still interested in playing competitive team fortress 2 by the way!
