bump i'd like to play the game competitively thanks

would also be open for scout on a chill low open team

disclaimer at the bottom says a 980ti should be enough for 144hz

i remember reading something before on how valve's weapon balancing methodology is solely based on pub usage stats (feel free to correct me on this)

it would explain why in the last patch they buffed both the quickiebomb and the sydney sleeper, both weapons that were very good but not used much in pubs (at least from my experience) and were going to buff the reserve shooter until b4nny told them not to

this disconnect between the game developers and actual players is slightly frightening. What they don't seem to realize is that some weapons like sydney sleeper/reserve shooter are used less in pubs simply because there's such a bad stigma that surrounds the weapon. I guarantee you using either unlock will usually result in you getting flamed in a pub. Not to mention that balancing via pub usage stats is a horrible idea to begin with given how good the average pub player is at this game...

Also soda popper/atomizer aren't as great in pubs because people can't aim well enough to really abuse soda popper and minis/natascha/sentries exist for the atomizer

sorry about the double post but i just realized beggars was also unbanned and that's also a really bad decision imo, it was banned in highlander mostly because you can use it to almost instantly win a midfight due to the double wall jump+skyboxing ability, even with shit like heavy/engie/pyro. take a look at the beginning of this clip for example

you go so fast that i'm highly highly doubtful even 2 scouts can stop the soldier from landing on your med with at least 2 rockets loaded and just delete them

not to mention on process specifically you can still fast rollout with bazooka (slightly harder but doable) and land on the enemy demo with 2/3 rockets already loaded.

no unlock should give u this power, not to mention that after the midfight you can just switch back to the stock and all of the drawbacks of the bazooka are gone

should seriously reconsider this one imo

i've played against the atomizer in hl and it is actually the most retarded thing ever.

one quality that really differentiates between a good and a great scout is movement, and atomizer just fucking removes that entire skill-based aspect. u can have absolutely potato movement but that triple jump still makes you near impossible to hit. it's honestly a god awful and lazy concept that should not be in the game.

[*] pouring one out for anybody who mains a projectile class in esea s23

Edit for s24

I'd like to play scout again, I didn't last season because I wasn't sure if I could play up to my standards (mid open standards lmao) but I got used to my laptop so I feel pretty ready to play it again.

Maybe mid - high open on scout.

My medic play got a lot better over the course of the season so I'd be down to play it again but I'd probably only play for a decently good team cause the class is just not as fun the worse your team is (not a shot at anyone just a fact of the class).

Dave showcasing why the new medic buff is really fucking dumb, why does valve love scouts so much NotLikeThis

bren is also quite a bit quieter than sideshow

i really like how the old hud had all the player health on one side, i feel like if it's on both sides it looks way more cluttered

the goat

wtf when people argue against class limits and then proceed to go "well i've never seen anybody actually abusing them" ?????????????????????? im so confused then again it's my fault for reading youtube comments

i am not convinced that valve cares about 6's until they implement class limits
