#42 Unlocks and effective strategies? in TF2 General Discussion
AllealTendaMonstathe301stspartanThe problem is, unlocks that would potentially "change the metagame" are usually banned.Can someone explain this to me? What's wrong with changing the metagame?
Depends on how the item changes the meta. Most of them change it for the worse. Jarate causes the entire team to turtle until it wears off. Gunslinger makes it impossible for scouts to push out of last after a hold. A flanking scout with crit a cola can drop half the enemy team before they can even turn around. All of these were legal at one point, by the way. The meta is the way it is because it's tried and true. A lot of people who don't play comp seem to think it's because we ban everything and refuse to try new things.

I think the problem with this mindset is that while its clear certain past unlocks have no place in 6s, people also mentally block any new unlocks. The Vaccinator comes to mind, despite being a new, unique approach to the medigun, no one has seemed to toy with it and try to expand on its possibilities (that I've seen). Its quick resist miniubers could be used to push through certain areas and pick the enemy medic before they have have a full uber, or even a full kritz...and unlike the krits, the vacc protects the medic as well, and helps heal him.

Its always a weapon I thought could be amazing in high level 6s in certain situations, but very people seem to investigate it. Hell, a lot of top players I've seen on their streams are surprised when they see it in a rare pub, because they didn't even know it existed!

#17 twitch sniper/ flick aim in Off Topic

Years of Quake, then multiple versions of CS, and then TF2 have made me a nearly exclusive twitch shooter. Its become a problem because I feel like my twitch shots are slowly decreasing in accuracy, and I've gotten the urge to track...except I've found I am *terrible* at it.

I want to do both. As someone who's always been a pure twitch player, and plays at a very low sens (31" 360), what is the best way to work on my tracking properly?

#12 How to protect yourself from DDoS in Off Topic

when did tftv become reddit

we should just have a "funny shit" thread somewhere to dump this stuff into.

kirbyI guess that's the point about a good Space Oddity cover by a guy that's in fucking space.

plus the dude is a total badass, captain of the ISS, kind of a hero of Canada and generally a fuckin cool space dude.

#160 Lange @ i49 in TF2 General Discussion
LangeJust so people are clear, I don't plan to do any commentating.

Unacceptable.

TaggerungWouldn't it be best to have a caster that is familiar with NA players to help cast during NA games?

Acceptable.

SalamancerI nominate me.

Acceptable with a Lange combo.

#130 Lange @ i49 in TF2 General Discussion

Not wanting to add to the drama but I wanna post too so I probably will anyway.

I don't dislike VTv but I've never really enjoyed their casting/style near as much as TFTV. Hearing that TFTV won't have any say/didn't get the contract for all the casting stuff does make my excitement for the event take a hit. I don't understand (obviously because I nor most people in this thread know whats going on behind the scenes) why both communities can't work together on this as its an international TF2 thing, and I feel like it shouldn't be locked down between them.

The entire point of getting another US team to i49 was for the betterment of the entire TF2 scene worldwide. Disallowing TFTV doing the online cast, or even casting off-stage matches, only hurts that goal. I hope people get over their egos and realize they are nothing without each each.

#9 would it help? in TF2 General Discussion

Would it be possible to use different icons for pocket/roamer soldier? Maybe have the solder midjump for roamer, and the pocket have the medics beam connect to him?

Just a random idea.

#26 Building a new PC in Off Topic
kirbyThis is probably expected from creating this thread, but I'm getting a lot of different "what to do's". There are some things people equally agree on but some parts differentiate between posts. Considering I'm not super computer smart, I'll probably stick with #10's suggestion unless enough people can agree on what should be different and why.

Its a solid build list if you don't wanna go into the fine details and conflicts. Gets my vote.

#8 Anything I need to change on this? in Hardware

Looks like a pretty decent build, but I would suggest getting a smaller second hard drive to use as a main, likely an SSD, and use the 2TB for storage. I would also highly suggest a mechanical keyboard, although thats optional. A tenkeyless mech board gives you a ton more room (and is a pleasure to us), and you can buy a cheap USB numpad to go with it if you really want a numpad to punch numbers on.

#162 Origins of Your Name/Alias in Off Topic

My immediate (and most of my extended) family is crazy religious, which I never got into. I always found it a little strange that despite all the "normal" religious things, as well as some of the batshit crazy stuff they believe, they are all absolutely against the idea of the rapture. I added a 4 as kind of a throwback to those old days of adding a ton of numbers to your name in the early net.
