Playing TF2 on 4G
in
Hardware
It's pretty awful on my Verizon hotspot.
Plenty enough bandwidth (~2mbps, tf2 uses 100kbps max) and fine ping, but lots of loss/dropped packets and hangs. It'd often have a problem where it dropped the connection for 30 seconds every couple minutes; a problem specific to the device, but other options likely come with their own miscellaneous issues.

PereeHonestly Stabby, this thread has vilified you for one miss-informed tweet but it's understandable considering you have the power to influence lots of people. The same situation occurred when Funke made a satirical video about the phlog saying "I think TF2 may actually be dead" He meant it as a joke, and most of us knew that, but if just 1% of the 200,000 views that video got, took that video's message wrongly, that's 2,000 people who are just re-enforcing a bullshit stereotype that if anything, is hampering TF2's progress.
This is happening more frequently with people who have social influence within TF2, Uncle Dane knocking 6s players, accusing them of having a "natural cockiness" and being stubborn towards change is another example. Just please be careful before you post something
Well said. I dunno though, I'm not sure I really want to be "careful" with expressing my thoughts. I like to speak candidly when chatting about video games.
I do wish I'd worded the tweet better...it is kind of neat to get to share your thoughts with a gaggle of people, I might as well put a bit more care into my wording etc if they're going to be listened to by the community (occasionally).
Anyway, thanks for the quality post.

camperstabby you seem like a chill guy but what the fuck were you thinking do u realize how many pubbers brains you just washed
we need youtubers/streamers who actually know something about the game instead of spy/pyro/engie mains acting like morons and saying shit like "6s meta stale hl is fun 6s is for tryhards 6s not use all classes :'("
Dude, I'm gonna tweet random shit that floats through my head, and I really don't think that's going to burn the world down. Why concern myself with anyone foolish enough to take it as gospel instead of actually thinking?
And thanks, I'm sure you're a chill fella, too :)

sheepy_dogs_handstabbyYou make a good point.
I'll go ahead and bow out for real now...I made a tweet about a half-baked musing I had while baked off my ass at 4am...I wish the response were more of a conversation and a little more civil, but frankly guys it didn't merit a thread.
Again, I didn't mean to offend. Can we be friends? I like team fortress and so do you :>
Well it's very good that you are able admit that you weren't 100% right. Most people are way to stubborn to do that so I have a lot of respect for someone who can do it. I didn't mean to be too harsh so sorry if I was.
All good, man. It's the Internet :)

sheepy_dogs_handstabbyYour teammates will probably yell at you for "off-classing" at higher rankings and I just kinda fear due to the "it's the best class composition" dogma will hamper what MM could be, though.stabbyI brought it up to illustrate the point that there is indeed major barriers to creativity and experimentation in class composition. Show me an invite team that has run something other than the old standard + a dash of offclassing, please.stabbyThere absolutely is plenty stopping people from running different class combinations.sheepydog'shandMatchmaking would benefit from using the current 6v6 meta as it has been pretty much proven to be the best and most balanced way to play the gamemode. Having class limits at 1 will have a little experimentation at the start but then there would become a meta just like in 6v6. Have certain classes role out to mid, have certain classes defend and push last.
Can you explain how switching to 1 class limit will prevent a standard meta set up. There will be class experimentation until people quickly find out what the best class composition is for mid fights and last pushing/holding. You keep saying that class limits should be set to 1 so people will experiment with new classes to make the game less stale but as soon as people figure out what the optimal class lineup is the meta will quickly become even more stale than the 6v6 one.
You make a good point.

alfaSo if I go ahead and win open by running full time pyro you'd be convinced it would be the recipe to success in any situation, at any level of play and also work for any team out there.
By your logic, because something works at a low level against people who don't know the game as well, it should work at every other level of play and be tried out in an official release which targets the masses? I'm sure you can figure out that's a pretty awful idea regardless of how you argue it, this coming from someone who likes off-classing too.
I was simply pointing out that novel compositions can work--most players are at the cevo level or below, no? Do you expect top tier MM to rival real teams playing in a league? I'm saying there really hasn't been substantial experimentation here, and any attempts to do so are highly discouraged or virtually prevented by orthodoxy.

Max_stabbyI brought it up to illustrate the point that there is indeed major barriers to creativity and experimentation in class composition. Show me an invite team that has run something other than the old standard + a dash of offclassing, please.There is literally nothing stopping players from running 2 Snipers, 1 Spy, 1 Pyro, a Heavy and a Engineer.
I think teams refusing to play you prevents players from playing.

parkstabbyhavent you been talking about matchmaking and not esea for the entirety of this thread? people aren't going to refuse to play you in matchmaking like they would in a scrimlootStabby, with all due respect, what you don't get is that there is absolutely nothing stopping people from running different class combinations. The reason 2 scouts 2 soldiers demo med is the meta isn't because of rigidity or being forced into it, it's because that's genuinely the most effective.There absolutely is plenty stopping people from running different class combinations.
Feel free to play spy all the time in 6s, but don't be surprised when your team loses every game... even if there were limits of 1 per class.
I was on a CEVO team that ran fulltime pyro/heavy/spy/scout/demo/medic...and it worked--very well even, we didn't lose a round. Problem was: people got really really angry. Nasty forum posts, accusations of "trolling", and I'm not sure a single team we played in neither scrims nor matches stuck around till the end; they just quit. We literally couldn't play, despite (or because) the experimental composition was effective.
The tweet was about match making. This thread has become about both 6's and match making.
And yes, true. Your teammates will probably yell at you for "off-classing" at higher rankings and I just kinda fear due to the "it's the best class composition" dogma will hamper what MM could be, though. I dunno man, I think I'm about done here. Kinda shocked a tweet turned into this. It was 4am and I had an idea...I guess it was at least conversation-inducing.

Max_stabbyIt worked because you were playing against bad players/teams most likely. There is no way that would work against good teams otherwise you would see it in ESEA. There is nothing stopping people from running that set up you listed other than the fact that it is bad most of the time.lootStabby, with all due respect, what you don't get is that there is absolutely nothing stopping people from running different class combinations.

This is like when Star ran Demoknight in Open or IM what ever it was, it worked because he was carried by 1 Invite player and 2-ex invite players. If Demoknight was more effective than Demoman than you would see top level teams like Ronin, 20b and Froyotech using it

Also, while I'm thinking about it, let's stop overusing the prefix 'meta' to describe everything anyone does. It's a silly prefix (not even a word by itself) that has been overused to the point of meaninglessness. :-O
Ya got me on that one :d
