ESEA isn't gone so comp TF2 isn't dead. Some people are burnt out myself included... But the opportunity to go to lan and play against the best is still there for those who are willing to put in the time and effort. Until ESEA drops the game entirely... Shoot feet get kills.

d4m0The thing is that the people with salaries of $100,000 will still have access to things if they aren't free (generally people who really 'can't manage money' spend it too much, so they're quite capable of spending a bit more for an education). It seems a bit weird to talk about salaried workers in a discussion about tuition fees though, they're not normally the ones who need tertiary education because they've already had it... I do see where you're coming from a bit more now but in reality, I think, a salaried worker who just for example pisses it all away (alcohol) will still be able to have access to something as important to them as education, whereas it's just not an option for people from a financially disadvantaged background.
My point remains that the government doesn't owe you anything, and is often wrongly blamed for personal failures and that it is certainly possible to overcome those obstacles provided you want it bad enough and you are willing to put in the effort. Though I admit the American system is fucked... They still use imperial measurement system... Pathetic!!!
In the case I described the salaried workers have not had any post secondary education at all. I didn't start financially advantaged at all either and it bothers me that you think that I had.

d4m0pine_beetleFree is stupid. Go get a job and scholarship or whatever make it happen. For all the problems with the government there are just as many or more problems with people's ability to manage money.So fuck all the poor people eh, they deserve it because 'they are bad at managing money'.
Maybe when every job done is fairly reimbursed then you can make that argument, but for the moment all you're doing is buying into the usual crap that unpaid labor (like all the housework my and likely your parents did while bringing us up) is worthless. Sorry but um no. Likewise none of this accounts for an uneven distribution of opportunity or any prejudices that come into play even when you are being paid (eg women getting paid something like 78% of what men are in the American workforce).
For example my mother's actually damn good at managing money, she does all the finances and juggles all the balance transfers etc etc, and yet because she stayed home to look after her kids her superannuation is nonexistant while my dad has a few hundred grand. Is that fair? Does she now deserve to have to work past retirement age because, well, because she was good at managing money?
It's pretty obvious by now that this capitalist system is inequitable, so rather than blame the victims perhaps you could consider what you could do to change it. The future Albert Einsteins and Isaac Newtons from the gutter and the Third World will thank you.
The point I was trying to make is that the government is not the source of all problems and people do need to take care of themselves. I'm not buying into any of the crap you are talking about I am speaking from personal experience where guys are getting payed $100 000 a year and still can barely get by. It makes no sense to me at all. Your personal experience with your mother is not anymore or less than important than my own. I can't speak in about the American system because I don't know it at all... However you are in control of your own destiny and you can make it happen. It's awesome that your mother can do that and it is unfair. If it really is that bad in America move to Canada.

kirbyMaking pyro more enjoyable for everyone who isn't the pyro would require the biggest nerf in the game's history, and Valve wouldn't do that.
They nerfed sticky bombs.

What we are saying which you don't seem to understand is that a pyro running front of ubered people is a really stupid thing to do and you should instantly lose. Instead you can can just hold m2 and push them into a wall. Making it so that an unubered pyro dies when walking into ubered players is a good thing.

4812622pine_beetleNobody thinks the pyro is useless. The complaint is that the class is no risk high reward such as being able to completely stop an uber with no skillful play from the pyro at all. Just camp a important choke and mash m2. The pyro does not need a buff just because it's not used 100% of the time by teams in 6s.
Have you actually read the thread? This mod halves the knockback of airblast and preserves forward momentum. Pyros wouldn't be able to stall Ubers for more than a second without getting obliterated, which makes it basically 100% outclassed at everything.
That's a good thing. It's stupid that a pyro can block ubers in the first place. Maybe we need to implement this. Make it risk reward... Not the opposite which it is now.
