termo is fucking ridiculous, iM has a chance now

this game is great and I'm digging the casting, but I gotta be honest, the streamer's terrible internet is getting REALLY frustrating

am I alone in that

~EDIT:~ I am going back to college tomorrow so I will have fine internet and I might wanna play again, if anyone needs a midseason replacement realquicklike im there breh

yo, my schedule isn't particularly great, nor is my internet, but I sorta feel like playin 6v6 again

I've been playing highlander instead since the last time I played IM which was like 3 or so seasons ago (4 seasons? I'm not sure)

I got a new pc since then and am confident in my abilities, and starting like early September I will be back at school and have good internet and a good schedule again so I think I can do p well

in terms of classes: demo > pocket > roamer > scout, I'd only play demo or pocket on an IM+ team but I'd prolly roamer or scout on a high open/low IM team idk

I like to main call and take heals as demo but I assume people know that already

if you need a scout or a med too I can possibly get my boiii nja to play as well (hes actually a rly good med I swear)

bring on the -frags

freestate is rly rly good

maps where a really good scout should prolly beat a demo every time imo: granary last, badlands middle

maps where a demo would win every time: gran mid, gully mid, snakewater

even maps: viaduct

I have no idea: spire, process, waste

depends on the map and the player

the scouts that are the hardest to beat in mge arent necessarily the best in game, for instance yz50 isnt that great vs demos but someone like dante was almost unbeatable

dammit I wanted to see how fog would respond to the fact that I'm a higher csgo rank than him too

this invite insight brought to you by the legendary "choochoo"

aren't you like a double ak? ROFL

when the email from valve rolls on in giving me a job as community weapon balance czar yall bitches will all be sorry

the main point that has become clear from this thread is that most people here would rather talk about themselves than about the person who's looking for a team

I wonder how many more days I need to wait before flame apologizes to me for being a fucking retard in this thread

river and devour are the same dude???

ah to be 12 again

I really don't understand this logic, as if valve is a cool guy that we spurned and is giving us the cold shoulder, rather than a private company whose only purpose is to earn profits for its executives and higher-up employees.

Valve doesn't support competitive tf2 because they don't see it as a feasible opportunity to MAKE MONEY anymore. Nothing more, nothing less. They are allocating their copious resources by supporting DOTA 2 first, and CSGO in a distant second, while tf2 is basically being maintained by like 3 interns.

Valve has a tried-and-true system of game developing. They find people who had the creative spark to make a great mod, buy out their franchise, and then put the other 95% of their employees on maintaining said games while the creative minds behind them in the first place move onto other projects, or set out on their own. The creative team behind tf2 is irrelevant and has been so for many years.

Valve had the opportunity to do many many things for competitive tf2 over the years, from the very big (hosting big money tournaments) to the medium (an in-game 6v6/hl lobby system, advanced spectator tools), to the rather small (not releasing updates 2 hrs before big matches, not breaking demos all the time, a competitive news tab and streams tab in the main window of the game, a nod to competitive players when it comes to weapon balance, posting about tf2 news on the FRONT PAGE of their website, generally acknowledging the comp scene's existence). They have done NONE of these things.

This false hope that big daddy Valve is gonna step in and save our game makes me want to vomit. It's shortsighted and it isn't what the great PC gaming DIY ethos should be about.
