there is no better representation of the fact that 2/3 of the people on the internet are actually insecure teenagers than the reaction that cheaters (or ddosers, or general trolls) have when they get banned from their favorite activity

have you ever seen a big twitch streamer go through their unban requests live on stream? literally the most embarrassing thing you will ever watch

that's actually a good point mr aim

when rgl put such heavy class restrictions in advanced, they basically ensured that the teams that won it would be a) super hungry to go to invite because they're not sandbaggers, and b) even more likely than usual to be bottomfeeders in invite because they essentially can't have any mainclassers with invite experience unless they joined the team in the offseason

so those teams need to actually be allowed to play invite or else theyre stuck in purgatory, either that or advanced, ironically, needs a sandbagging team or two to keep them from being in this position in the first place

I don't know if this counts as unpopular but I really really miss the days of b4nny pugchamps

he made all the games really tryhard which was great if you were in the mood, and his stream was either 1) him owning or 2) him malding both of which made for excellent content

yo I'm trying to turn over a new leaf, so I decided to get a mouse as far away from my boomer preferences (palm/claw hybrid, always used large ergo mice, been using an ec1-b for the last few years) as possible for comparison's sake

I'm exaggerating slightly because I'm not gonna become a fingertip aimer all of a sudden so I don't want a SUPER teeny tiny mouse, but after thinking about it for a while I know I definitely want a mid sized wireless ambi mouse, and I'm basically between the viper ultimate, g pro wireless and model o wireless

all of them have great reviews, but my biggest worry about each is:

-viper ultimate- might be too low profile, making any sort of semi-palm grip uncomfortable

-g pro wireless- the double clicks, plus the price point (and I definitely don't wanna splurge on the superlight)

-model o wireless- standard old-timer revulsion towards the holes, plus I've heard murmurings of qc issues if you're not a youtube reviewer!

can someone help me sort though this morass? I am hella overthinking this lol

you guys might not respect makkabeus' decision-making, but you have to at least admire his willingness to explain himself to the community in threads like this within a reasonable 24 hour window

wait hold up my producer is saying something in my ear right now

depends on how much you believe in 'old man strength'

then slemnish soldier can shred invite

fat

yes when 4 people are capping last and im at 85% uber I should run away while arrowing, much more reliable

something tells me you have not played a significant amount of competitive team fortress two

although saying all that

im pretty sure valve nerfed the vitasaw to be on-hit now and it sucks

did you just try to tell an invite medic that he wasn't including proper context because he wasn't taking into account a 12v12 game lol

I love theorycrafting in tf2 more than most but putting so much effort into optimizing pub play is like getting someone with a master of fine arts degree to go to a preschool and critique the kids' fingerpainting

you're implying that any non-trolling medic goes around trying to ubersaw things when he could be healing lol

the ubersaw's main point is, if you're the last one alive as med (say fleeing a mid fight or holding last) and you're above 50% or above 75%, you quickly try to get uber and stall for teammates to come in

it's situationally incredibly useful, but obviously the solemn vow is better overall

I love you Mr. DarnDuck69!!

bruh

was james harden wearing a fatsuit in houston???

the plot thickens...

rounds for/rounds against is an awful system

I'm pretty confident that's not an unpopular opinion, but yeah

counter opinion:

if you're a medic or a soldier and you fear product you should probably grind your dm because those 2 classes are actually incredibly influential at the highest levels on that map
