Six Guys On

I feel like the admins refuse to move your team down because they wanted a certain number of plat teams and didn't think they could find a team to replace yours if you moved down so they made your team be the fall guys

rofl

yeah, that's the general idea

if you look at heal stats nowadays, demos usually trump heavies, but you also have to factor in the fact that those stats don't include buffs and the way heavies play often prevents them from falling as far below full health as other classes

it's definitely still true that there are occasions where heavies lead pushes, like in a lot of situations where you just need to use that wall of health (e.g. him being the first guy to walk onto the point on a koth map repush), it's just that like a year ago teams seemed to ALWAYS have the heavy lead pushes, which has changed a lot

hell, -ts- (the team that won last season) had ruwin on scout, and they often used him extremely aggressively in uber fights to chase the enemy if they had a worse uber

EDIT: it's a lot like 6s where the heavy takes the place of a pocket soldier, but while the pocket has the edge in both protecting the medic and using ubers while the demo just has the edge in damage, the heavy isn't always super great during uber fights, so rather than demos taking shelter behind their pocket they lead a lot more

huehuehue i see what you did there

fragile gave really good advice, but I feel there's one thing that needs to be added:

in the modern hl "metagame", the majority of the top teams have shifted away from a super heavy-centric style to a more demo-centric one, with more heals towards the scout and pyro as well. the heavy is still the best class at protecting the medic, but his speed means it's really hard to use him aggressively in ubers, so in more aggressive situations medics typically lead with demos (and sometimes scouts or even pyros depending on the situation) and use the heavy as kind of an anchor to protect him post-uber

tl;dr mad healz to the demo

like no hate but ducky could play the hippo in madagascar hes that sassy

THATS MY TERM FOR HIM

ques watch out your reign as king of sass has come to an end

reminds me of indulge

well, xen no longer has to try to win matches 5v6, so that's a bonus

to play devil's advocate, if being a former unusual thief should prevent you from being allowed to play comp, ghos7 should prolly also be exiled from this community

but it's because this guy did the shit BEFORE he got well known in the comp tf2 community that it's a problem

dana is my favorite human being

yes

everyone on this team is really nice

good read

I tried out for a panzer team like years ago and some of what is being said is true but it was mainly because of that captain ahab guy on medic

he was the worst
