dont even get me started on his pootis....

FWIW i preferred the old preset names, especially compquality and compperformance. I think medium low vs medium isn't as intuitive, whereas with something like the old compquality you immediately know "ok this maximizes frames while maintaining things like shadows that could give a competitive edge". Granted the descriptions on the page tell you what they do, so perhaps it isn't as big of an issue as I make it out to be.

Ty for the continued work on the config :)

-small launch option allows res's lower than 640x480 but most huds break under that (not that you can really read the huds if you're combining it with mat_viewportscale 0.1 so i mean...)

squid b4nny 1v1 badlands mid

maybe seagull 3k process choke?

block from top gluttons was fucking insane

this is more of a consequence of highlander being a bad game mode. you're taking the one class who relies on surprise the most and making it known that he'll be in play 100% of the time, it's like intentionally shooting yourself in the foot. based off of that fact alone spy will always be a bottom 2/3 class in hl, you just have to accept that it's an unfixable flaw of the mode.

honestly the only reason u can do anything as spy in hl is cause having 9 apes in mumble is enough to cause enough noise/distractions to actually get kills. but if your team can't apply any pressure you're nearly dead weight because, again, enemy team always knows that there will be a spy. barring an enormous class rework this will always be the case.

(also i would argue engineer is worse in hl, literally the most broken unlock in the game is allowed just so they can actually pretend they're doing something)

this is a spy buff
unless ur being sarcastic in which case u got me

I would even go as far as to say that a lot of pugs that are lost straight up aren't the meds fault at all, it's just unfortunate that the mechanical mistakes medic's make are really really easy to see (dropping uber/dropping players/getting caught out), whereas if your scouts or whatever make mechanical mistakes, i.e. missing a combined 12 shots every fight, it's actually kinda hard to tell (beyond losing the fight obviously) until after the game and you look at stats. Med's probably the only class where every other player can see what they're up to most of the time and as a result like you mentioned you'll get berated for nearly everything, like you mentioned.

Medic's are also much more likely to get micro'd than any other class and I feel like people get frustrated when their meds don't listen and execute the players requests exactly even if the med might be playing better than anyone else on their team. Vicious cycle really.

make sure u do wrist stretches bro

unless ur actually some sort of legend and u use ur arm with that sens

i appreciate u for trying to innovate and make the panic attack a reality

helps a lot if you're gpu limited i think, which you probably won't be on a desktop with a dedicated gpu that was made past 2011 but it's amazing for my laptop and integrated graphics lol

I've never seen an actual good competitive player shit on a youtuber lol. Everytime I've seen someone be like "(name-drop youtuber here)? that dude sucks lol" they're not even low-mid open or silver highlander, it's literally ugc steel level and below players trying to act cool by pretending they're so high and mighty and above players that the more mainstream tf2 population would know. Unfortunate that they're associated with competitive as a whole, especially when they're more or less glorified pubstars.

even then it's usually people doing that to people like stabby or uncle dane, people with really defined "mains". Never really saw it much with star.

edit:

Agreed, although I think that's mostly because new blood is usually more toxic compared to older more seasoned players and highlander hemorrhages significantly more top level players than 6's.

I'm not attached to a config, I'm attached to the ability to fucking play the game without it resembling a powerpoint. Your perspective is biased because your game still functions well on non-fps config settings, which is not representative of the majority of players.

These two players also have ridiculous pc setups because of their jobs, they are hardly the average.

Guarantee you any player with some fps experience playing on a non-powerhouse computer will find tf2 matchmaking aids to play because of how unoptimized the game is compared to other fps titles (i.e. ow and cs mainly, maybe even qc at this point lol).

Edit: this internet is aids b4nny's new post didn't even load

Agreed that in game competitive being fun is obviously important, but at the end of the day it being a game mode that is competitive in nature and has medium-high stakes (as opposed to casual's 0 to low stakes) is what ultimately differentiates it from casual which makes the ability to run the game all the more imperative imo. Your fps doesn't matter if you just dick around in casual, but it should matter in competitive because it's, well, competitive.
