What the fuck that was the only reason to play pyro, why the fuck does valve remove skill-based mechanics and advocate for W+M1 shit?

There is literally nothing wrong with W+M1. Complaining about it is the epitome of scrub mentality.

>playing pyro at all unless the other team has several good spies or youre playing red on 24/7 attack/defense
why bother dead class

It's fine but when it's all that 90% of Pyros can do it becomes frustrating and tiresome, especially Pyro v Pyro when it becomes a game of spastic spammery.

better than when every pyro fight was just whoever's connection allowed the first airblast

too bad it sucks

Are there any community servers that aren't filled with cancer? I reinstalled TF2 yesterday after a long hiatus and I absolutely hate the matchmaking system so I was looking through servers. I was never much good at the game so I'm no match for competitive players, I just want a nice server I can play on for a few games, like valve servers used to be before MM. Do they exist anons?

It required at the very least more skill than what the most viable tactics for him are nowadays
>Equip Backburner
>Go into chokepoint
Or
>Equip Phlog
>Kill some dudes until you fill your Mmhp meter and go into chokepoint
These current playstyles are uninteresting and boring and you'll probably die in 10 seconds using either of these because they're not very good at anything other than fill up the kill feed for a staggering 3 seconds

Combo Pyro required some actual decent timing and skill. It was your own fault if you got killed by it. Removing combo pyro is just one example of shitters ruining the game because they cannot git gut.

lime green scouts with jingle boots will always be S tier cancer don't go pointing fingers at others

wow yes it's really hard to set someone on fire with literally 1 mouse click then m2 to lock them in the air due to how shit airblast was, then take out flaregun and get a free crit kill. Simply ebin, I love crit gimmick classes, i deserve the crits for playing my class.

no it required no timing at all, literally just airblast and switch weapons while holding m1 and congratulations you've mastered the reserve shooter

I hope to god you've never complained about M1+M2 sticky spam because flare/reserve combo is absolutely just as bad

I am none of those things, also

Don't worry user, you are right. TF2 is getting worse because soldierfags, sniperfags, and compfags are adamant in making sure anything fun or that counters them is removed.
Afterburn was nerfed, axtinguisher was nerfed multiple times, airblast was nerfed, pyro's new weapons aren't good and they even nerfed the Dragon's Fury, etc.
Only Scorch Shot, Flaregun, flare combo, or shotguns are even decent anymore and most classes can literally put out fire, resist it, or negate it.

Attached: 1522462950021.png (800x1299, 2.17M)

Only because everything else Pyro has is awful.

1. Airblast enemy Pyro back out of flame range
2. Switch to shotgun
3. Win fight

But user, all pyro mains are mentally ill.

If I could equip just the Powerjack and the shotgun, I'd still be happy. Fuck flames and their janky ass shit now where you cant corner peek sentries for shit.

What the fuck was valve thinking not making the jet pack a primary slot passive like the booties of demo? Flamethrowers are only useful for reflects anymore, not even airblasting itself is any good since the nerf years ago.

EZ MODE: Multiple engineers, no resistance/shitty enemy spies
MEDIUM: Solo engineer, some resistance from enemy team. Spies are decent.
HARD: Solo engineer, enemy team has good spies and focuses your buildings

So did the jetpack turn out to be good or just another useless gimmick?

Haven't played TF2 in years but I remember how TF2 players would go ballistic at the mere suggestion of the pyro jetpack.

Total gimmick. The only good part of it is the taunt.

>no it required no timing at all, literally just airblast and switch weapons while holding m1 and congratulations you've mastered the reserve shooter
I wasn't talking about the reserve shooter, retard. Combo Pyro was Degreaser+Flare Gun/Detonator+Axtinguisher, the reserve shooter shit came only AFTER valve fucked the Combo Pyro

THEY NEVER PROMISED A HEAVY UPDATE. IT WAS JUST HINTED, NEVER PROMISED. NEVER PROMISED. THEY SAID MAYBE, IT ISN'T 100% THAT HEAVY IS BEING UPDATED. STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>invisible walls and ceilings

It's definitely misleading at the very least, but it's not pure fabrication; the blog post that came with Page 2 of Meet Your Match suggested that, at the time, it was 'highly likely' that both classes would eventually get their own class pack (though remember this doesn't actually confirm it). The wiki only references the update page and not the blog post, so at best it needs updating to reflect that.

That's correct, but it's important to remember that 'could still happen' does not mean 'will still happen'. It's all basically speculation until we get more official information. Personally, I think that when they said that both classes could get updates, they were expecting MYM to be a lot more successful than it turned out to be - I'd love to hear some actual confirmation from the TF team about this, but that feels like wishful thinking at this point.

>I deserve to get into the class's effective range without consiquences

Maybe the Heavy update will come with a sniper nerf because fuck that bitch boy faggot class in a game focused around short and medium-ranged fighting.I keep wanting to play Heavy to try and get better with giant man, but there's always some boring as fuck turbo nigger that clicks my head. When a spy kills me it's deserved because they're playing a total garbage class just to try and shit on our team a little, but when people play that low risk high reward shitbag that is sniper I get furious.
Fuck sniper, fuck sniper players, fuck valve for ever thinking the degenerate playstyle sniper brings to the table is fun to fight against.

>I deserve to have a higher effective range because I play on Virginia servers from Brazil

>fuck valve for ever thinking the degenerate playstyle sniper brings to the table is fun to fight against.
But Sniper has been a thing in TF since the original Quake mod which Valve had nothing to do with.

>sniper (jarate, headshots,), spy (diamondback), soldier (market gardener, buff banner), demoman (any shield), scout (crit cola) and engie (frontier justice) can all get free crits but Pyro can't on a melee weapon.

Sure, but they could have rebalanced him and/or rebalanced maps to limit how much of a faggot he is, in the same way spy got a cloak.

Seething and obsessed.

>implying anyone with an IQ above room tempature thinks Diamondback is balanced

Almost all of pyro's arsenal gives mini or full crits. When the other classes has 1-2 items that give crits.

Just use the flare gun

>which Valve had nothing to do with.
Robin Walker was half of the original QWTF team, man.

The powerjack is considered better than the axtinguisher by some, what's the problem then?
Most of what you're talking about are flares that only crit/mini crit when someone is suffering from afterburn.
1. Afterburn is the easiest debuff to remove/outheal/resist by far, many other classes can even remove it for you if you somehow can't find a kit, water, medic, dispenser, no charge for shield, etc.
2. It is impossible to surprise any non retard with a crit kill because of the reload time required to use flares
3. Backburner is trash because of the debuff to the already nerfed airblast
4. Afterburn has been nerfed into near uselessness for flamethrowers so that the only good way to set up a good flare kill is usually with another flare, which the other person can see coming in both cases

It's the worst when there's a medic/engineer camping with him and you HAVE to counter snipe or pick a waste of a weapon slot to evade shots

Maybe the Heavy update was in our hearts all along?

Pyro was always fairly useless and incredibly situational in competitive play. The only two classes worse than Pyro were Engie and Spy.

Heavy update is canceled, just like the comic.

Interesting concept but I don't think its too feasible. It's basically Highpass with random spaws.

Yep. I kinda get why Arena hasn't been added but Player Destruction is pretty fun and unique.

Unironically remove random spread from shotguns.

Pretty sure there was a mod for that. One team spawned as Spycrabs in a canyon with covers and obstacles, the other were all Huntsman Snipers up on ledges to the side of the canyon, whoever managed to bring the most Spycrabs to the end of the canyon won.

No respawn. Imagine if the battle royale games forced you to stay in the match spectating after dying. It'd kill the games overnight. Obviously Arena matches don't last as long as BR matches but you're still asking players to sit around doing nothing.

Sounds fun, name?

Yes but that game is designed around that. TF2 wasn't. As seen in CTF, matches can drag on just because the game is designed for attack and defend, not just attack.
At least that's why I stopped playing Arena when it was first introduced. I'd get in, do something stupid and die then just get bored spectating an engie hiding out in one of the points.

sorry homeboys, pyro has one of the highest skill ceilings. if not THE highest. that's why comp players rarely play him, he's too risky because he's so difficult to play

any rocket/sticky jump or airshot demo and soldier can do, the pyro can do as well. with stricter timing and only when the enemy allows it, meaning you have to react faster than when you can jump at will my dudes. all scout can do is pressing spacebar twice and spamming AD with his epic null-canceling script. that's all there is to scout movement. no rocket jumps, no pogo, no headshots, nothing. even fucking engineer offers more movement options with sentry jumps.

scout mains are almost as bad as soldier mains, get your head out of your asses. play some unreal tournament or quake and realize that your 'skill' is negligible, worthless scout mains. sniperfags are even worse, he has no movement abilities at all.

medic, demo and pyro are the only respectable classes.

Hit B and cycle through your weapons.

I've said this before in other threads and will say it again.
The Schadenfreude is one of the greatest pieces of animation in gaming. Every class has a unique laugh, every one of them seem to really put it their all into their laugh, like they're actually running out of breath just by laughing.

So how should Pyro be reworked to make him better and require more skill to use?

You're forgetting why Valve nuked community servers in the first place, they all started running unskippable ads through the HTML, usually pinion and laden with malware and disabling HTML just resulted in you being unable to spawn, so the community came up with a blacklist blocker which resulted in the blacklist and pinion niggers playing cat and mouse catch up like anti-adblockers are doing now

HTML shit got banned way, way before community servers were in danger of dying
It was never ever worth nuking them the way they did and that you think a few shitty ad servers that everyone with half a brain could avoid meant all community servers were bad just makes you a zoomer

God I miss arena, I used to play that so much years ago. Does anyone actually play it still?

No matter how hard you try to push this meme, it will never EVER be true

You heard me.

If you're lucky you can find maybe 1 vanilla community server with an active playerbase. I know there is a randomizer server that's usually pretty full, and that shits always fun.

>a few shitty ad server
It was the majority you absolute sped, you were too young to remember

Did any of you guys play Arena Respawn? That shit was fun as fuck

Why the fuck does Party Van have shitty meme maps popularised by that seriousmartin faggot like cp_2points but no arena maps?
Arena is universally loved on Yea Forums, why does it's own server miss it?

Nigger I've been playing since beta, just because you didn't favorite the shitton of good servers but went for skial.com every time doesn't mean they weren't great, the better ones having their own small communities (sometimes not even that small)

Are you really saying nuking community servers from orbit for a standardized, single set of rules matchmaking system was a good thing? Come on.

>Does anyone actually play it still?
This is the only server that showed up for me that wasn't saxton hale or freak fortress shit and it's empty, anyone wanna join?
Here's the IP: 193.192.59.191:27085

matchmaking is better than community servers.

5/10 bait, may actually fool someone

I had two server groups favourited and when I outgrew them I was incapable of finding a higher skilled server without ads, it was every fucking server, most didn't have paypigs for regulars

>Are you really saying nuking community servers from orbit for a standardized, single set of rules matchmaking system was a good thing? Come on.
That's a strawman I never said it was good, I explained why community servers are kill, the ads and the malware laden ads especially was why Valve took a heavy handed approach, same reason sprays have been disabled ever since someone found a way to inject malware into them, Valve always bring down the hammer when it comes to serious shit like malware

But HTML was being disabled way before the Valve server shit happened, not sure what you're on about.

Sucks that you never were able to properly search the serverlist, I played on Fighting Amphibians, TriggerHappyGamers and Hampshire Heavies servers, both of which (well, more the latter) always had skilled players and paypigs, never ads.

>Arena Respawn
Wait, isn't that just Control Points? Wasn't the only thing changed about Arena that you couldn't respawn?

Attached: confusion.png (612x491, 106K)

No, it was a mode where it was Arena, but modified with the cap being very fast to cap and when you did, everyone who died came back. It made for some really intense matches and crazy comebacks like with some Scout sneaking in and bringing his whole team in again.

Why do people suddenly meme Arena mode as being this forgotten masterpiece? The idea is fun, but the gamemode isn't fun when its filled with bugs. Remember when they took it back into quickplay rotation in pre MyM 2016? Shit was Broken ass hell

Oh hey that does sound pretty fun. Is it a plugin or are there maps you can download with that feature?

I'm pretty sure it was a plugin, it was ran on regular maps + normal customs + customs made for the mode

there was a Yea Forums server that had it at one point, it was pretty fun.

Would Sniper be more respected if his rifle was projectile-based instead of hitscan?

And he was shit because he had to charge up shots and players were flying around at light speed with conc jumps.

Why ?
The economy is dwindling and you won't make gold anytime soon since a lot of traders won't leave because of the sunk cost fallacy.
If anything, prices will only go down or at the very best, stagnate.
You should have been into trading years ago, made your big bucks and left.

He'd be completely garbage

Like it or not, he's necessary for the game's balance. The only reason Snipers dominate is because of bad map design. Same goes for Engineers and to a lesser extent Demomen.

>gold

He just needs quickscoping removed and less ammo/movement speed.

>Taking skill = complete garbage
okay retard

Modded ones.

>The only reason Snipers dominate is because of bad map design
Sniper is strong in every gamemode and every format with the exception of 6s where he's still the most picked offclass and occasionally brought to mids which you can't say the same for any of the other offclasses. Hell just watch the no restrictions grand finals where one sniper was fending off the entirety of froyotech in the first round, if that's not broken I don't know what is. It's time he got hit with the nerf bat.

Dude, just look at the last Sniper projectile and how much "skill" that generally takes. With Source's wonky hitboxes you need either a massive crutch, as explosives and arrows do, or have it be completely useless.

Reminder the game is graphically worse now than when it was released 12 YEARS ago.

He's strong, but never really was OP because he can't manoever anywhere near as well as anyone else, or 6s would be running them in the base lineup, and there would be something solid beyond "sniper on Upward fends off enemy team with the rest holed up". Yeah, no shit.

Reminder to stop gong to 32 man instant respawn servers if you have a personal vendetta against pyro players.

God I want that ass on my face.

And I should care because?

>because he can't manoever anywhere near as well as anyone else
he's only slightly slower than medic and he doesn't suffer from falloff so he doesn't need to get in range in the first place.

>or 6s would be running them in the base lineup
he's not run in the 6s lineup because hitting headshots on the 3 most mobile classes is hard and they can close the gap with him quickly. the fact that is he still run as frequently as he is regardless shows how strong he is. any other format where that isn't the case he stomps.

i'm more bothered by the fact i get worse fps than i did ten years ago

Thing is, you're fucked by walls. Snipers are intrinsically hampered my good map design, and become crazy good when map design is bad - and everyone worth their salt know sightlines and what to watch out for.

Note that that same unrestricted tournament had constant class switches and often didn't have a Sniper at all, which underlines more how the game is pretty decently balanced considering.

Why not the detonator for that extra mobility?

>Snipers are intrinsically hampered my good map design
and yet maps that everybody loves like upward and badwater have some of the best sniper spots in the game. how about we just fucking nerf sniper instead of rebuilding every fucking map just to keep his broken ass in check. open maps are fun for everybody but as soon as you include sniper it becomes "everybody cowers behind cover until the sniper 1v1 is over". Sniper sitting in one spot and charging up shots is not an issue, sniper walking around wherever he wants and quickscoping everything is the problem and map design doesn't address that.

>Note that that same unrestricted tournament had constant class switches and often didn't have a Sniper at all

Meh. Even on the rarest of occasions when he plays Scout in character, he isn't as entertaining as he should be. He isn't a very good player in general, so I think he should be going for maximum laughs with this build while roleplaying as Scout

-Shortstop (only use right-click Shove attack)
-Bonk (use it just to run around and not die whilst bantering with people)
-Sandman or Wrap Assassin (a non-hitscan projectile he can just fling from a mile away and get laughs when he manages to kill or even kill somebody with it)

That build would make his roleplay sessions a little more fun and could inspire him to be more jolly and say something funny as Scout

You saw a shitload of heavies during the original heavy update and as insane as it sounds having lots of heavies everywhere actually sped up the game. It was like some kind of weird paradox.

All the lone wolf types would just end up getting focus fired with hitscan damage, and it turns out that when most of the players in a game stop running around like headless chickens the pacing of a match improves dramatically.

removing the airblast stun is fine but what they did instead ruined the whole fucking playstyle

Dumb competitive related question
Is that froyotech team only the best around because no one wants to even attempt to get that good on a 10+ year old game? Comp TF2 is trash anyway just curious.

Most people tend to focus on the heavy once they see him.
You gotta pull out your unusuals as a free "i'm better than you" ticket.

It took me this year to get that achievement for killing 3 people as an ubered Scout.

all the big name tf2 players left years ago, whether they would have been able to beat peak froyo is debatable but the current players in invite suck dick. the current froyo roster is a mixed bag. blaze, habib, and b4nny are top notch the rest are meh.

Essentially. Competitive TF2 of any degree is a joke.

>goldrush

Genuine question. Imagine you've been tasked with bringing TF2 into Fortnite numbers. How would you go about it?

open source tf2
make tf3

Tell whoever gave me that task to suck some eggs. Appealing to mainstream is how shit games are made.

why would you ever kill someone with melee as pyro

Froyo recruit all the best players and the big fish of other teams get recruited to play OW by the promise of prize money as they can't compete with froyo

People uber heavies because they're consistent. They don't miss and their gun is never unloaded.
Unless you happen to get a crayon eating retard, you're pretty much guaranteed to get good performance out of ubering a heavy whereas even good soldiers can choke.

>People uber heavies because they're consistent. They don't miss and their gun is never unloaded.
except for the fact they're slow as fuck so they're easily juggled by a pyro or kited. I understand soldiers can be inconsistent but when it's one at the top of the board you really don't have an excuse for not ubering him. pub medics are just shit.

I know there are vanilla tf2 servers but are there any heavy update servers? I wanna say that was the peak of TF2

At this point I do whatever I want
I pull my backscratcher against other pyros, smart ones airblast me, dumb ones think they can flame me and forget the bloody rakes does extra damage

I try to but you keep fucking rocket jumping away, nigger.

What am I doing wrong?

Yes. Thank you.

Literally everyone can be juggled away by a pyro, and kiting would mean ceding control of the point.
>but when it's one at the top of the board you really don't have an excuse for not ubering him
Like I said, even good soldiers can choke. I do all the time.

I remember once ubering a lime scout on turbine and he took out the whole blue team intel nest by himself. Shits magical

I feel you. I think is because I dont use the classic "super serious tryhard soldier main" cosmetics

That is a fun weapon. Shame it's pretty bad

I could do this for money. I don't, but I could.

I only jump because you ubered so prematurely that there's nothing in range to shoot PUSSY

An anime flair and objector helped me alongside a weapon skin and killstreak kit, if you're not good you'll be ridiculed for parading that shit around drawing attention to yourself
Not as effective as an unusual though

>play scout
>see enemy scout
>both players are equal and both make an accurate shot at center of the player
>you do -13 and they meatshot

>scout 1v1
>both of us miss of our shots and strafe in parallel

Ubering scout is better than ubering a solder with gunboats, that is slow and only has 4 rockets to fire. What am I supposed to do? Rocket jump out of range of the medic or do a mini rocket jump then only have 3 rockets and kill maybe 1 person before I have to reload? Most scouts are shit so I prefer to use kritz and pick the top scoring soldier.
I hate it when I use kritz on demo and they don't use there stickies. Can a tf2 eceleb tell people to use the fucking sticky launcher (also to kritz demos in setup time so they lay stickies, it only takes 10 seconds to get 100% kritz again). Seeing that kritz+demo on the other team completely fucking us should have been a hint but no.

I think I've been ubered as scout once in my life and got the achievement. feels good man.

For the hell of it.

I have a killstreak hale's own RL and shotty, and wear two hats.

>Literally everyone can be juggled away by a pyro
Heavy is the biggest and slowest, easiest for a pyro to juggle. Soldier you can just rocket jump over him.
>and kiting would mean ceding control of the point.
if the point is close enough that a heavy can clear it before the uber ends you weren't going to hold it anyway

>topping the pub, fully loaded, ready to blow up the sentry nest

>all those (You)s you got
Good to see the pasta still has some flavor

>Soldier you can just rocket jump over him.
Yeah, leave your medic behind and make it even easier for the pyro to separate you from him. That's also a great way to get flung into another fucking dimension if there's a sentry around or the pyro airblasts you as you're ascending.

>Yeah, leave your medic behind
If he's looking at the medic he's not reflecting my rockets

It became way too effective. So they basically took the 2 weapon combo and gave it "alright" stats when used in tandem, and "dog shit" stats when used separately
I swear degreaser has been at least 3 completely different things at this point
fucking stupid

Airblast is based on the direction you're looking, so look upwards when you airblast to increase airblast distance.

You killed the man who was on a suicide mission anyway. Great work.
Except that your medic was pushed away and a significant amount of, if not all of, his uber was wasted meaning that pyro successfully accomplished what he set out to do in the end.

either autobalanced or it was round 2, what's difficult to grasp
