the thing with your argument Arx is that those games have public modes which were specifically designed by the game developers to be competitive and they were the ones that set the standard in terms of competition format

TF2 never got anything like that, so the current 6v6 game we have is basically the result of players of the game experimenting for years with different restrictions/maps/game modes until the one that was the most competitive and enjoyable was reached

if valve had come out shortly after TF2's release with this arena respawn format I think 6v6 as we know it probably wouldn't exist

i think this format sans the class bans (which I think are pretty arbitrary and would just mean that some classes never see any play time) is probably the best case scenario for any matchmaking system (if they do end up releasing one) as i cant envisage 6v6 ever getting valve support, ever

agreed

playing on 80ms my railgun and lg are projectiles... not really fun at all currently :(

even if its a highlander-style format i hope they have the foresight to realise that requiring 18 players for a matchmaking game to start is going to mean incredibly painful wait times (especially if you pick a class before you queue)

it definitely sounds like your computer is the issue, if you want to improve your decisions in-game you're gonna have to drop at least $3000 on a new setup

if everything falls into place, we intend to attend an american LAN next year hopefully... can't guarantee anything yet though!

they dont call him TechDude for nothing

probably will result in a lot of negative consequences that far outweigh the good

thanks for the suggestions guys

i just don't have any in my house and don't really want to buy some just to change mouse skates

hey guys

i've just bought some replacement skates for my abyssus because the stock ones keep peeling off, what would people recommend as the best way to remove mouse feet without rubbing alcohol? most of my googling points to this as the best solution but I don't have access to it... is just scraping them off with something like a knife or scissors a good or terrible idea?

thanks

technical limitations aside, this is pretty much impossible given that if you play a fight differently then your opponents are going to react to your play and themselves play differently, not really something you can replicate even with AI (in terms of high level play anyway). it's kind of a neat idea but ultimately would be impossible to replicate as something that would be a useful/realistic tool

by watching pov demos you can already determine better ways on how to play out a fight/situation anyway... imo you should always just focus on the best way to play each fight/situation rather than worry about hitting all your shots

soap dm as much as possible, scrims, povs, stv

think there's one or two missing that P-REC didn't auto record

yeah I did get insurance and specifically covered the monitor so hopefully i'll get a bit of the $450 back i just spent to replace it (good excuse to upgrade to 144hz i guess)

how to have the worst possible end to an i52 trip:

-arrive in sydney, go to airport to fly back to perth (other side of australia, where I live)
-get told the flight has been delayed by 2 hours at checkin
-flight gets delayed another hour on top of that, after which it gets cancelled (fortunately was able to stay at termo's place)
-arrive at airport next morning
-new flight gets cancelled, moved to a later one in the day which connects through a different city (melbourne) and not a direct flight (+2 hours travel time)
-arrive in melbourne, flight back to perth gets delayed another 2 hours
-finally get back to perth, get told my luggage (with my screen and all my pc shit) was left at sydney and will arrive tonight
-luggage finally gets couriered out to me at 11:30pm and my 120hz monitor is completely broken and won't turn on

hahahahahahhahaha kill me
