Thread 718813801

It's been over TEN YEARS since the Dead Ringer was nerfed

It's been over FOUR YEARS since Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

Honestly, just remove the fucking thing from the game.

I fucking kneel.

Just goes to show it was only ever a vocal minority complaining.

>>718816003
nobody plays tranny community servers besides trannys

>>718816003
Castaway is full of attention seeking voicefags. They physically cannot shut up for 5 seconds and worship the most obnoxious ones.

koga is good besides their shitty touhou custom maps

>>718817204
>disables sentries
No thanks

>>718817750
pretty sure it's only on koth

>>718817750
Minis I get, but regular ass vanilla sentries?
Seriously?

>>718817750
Im 90% sure the reason sentries were removed was because the admins boyfriend complained about them.

>>718818623
literally the reason, i heard the fag complaining about them all night even after they were disabled
that cuck literally was nothing but negative for 3 hours, anything that killed him was bullshit yet he was using the phlog for most of that
fucking queers

>>718818750
Unfortunate, but its funny how they ban fags while also being fags themselves.

>>718813801 (OP)
The dead ringer is still a better choice than the normal spy watch. It is literally a straight upgrade because you get a much higher chance to get away scot free

>>718818167
minis are weaker than lvl 1 sentries

>>718819751
Yes, but you can shit like a million sentries with faster lock-on, build time, and more starting health for 1v1s

>>718813801 (OP)
And it's been over TEN YEARS since I played TF2
coincidence?

>>718813801 (OP)
I'm that one retarded spy who sits in a corner with the watch that lets you stay invis forver if you stay still and does nothing the entire round and then dies to a random spy check

DESERVED
>Ambassador (sniper is shit, doesn't justify Spy getting to be shit too)
>Caber (demo should not get to oneshot light classes on melee range with no downside whatsoever)
>Sandman (fuck stun)
>DR (it was absurdly powerful)
UNDESERVED
>Babyface (literally nothing was wrong with it)
>Axestinguisher (god forbid pyro has something to do other then spam mindlessly)
>Guillotine (without the unreasonable stun window of sandman it's fine)
>BASE Jumper (come the fuck on it's just worthless now)
>Dragon's Fury (it's just worse then stock now)
>Degreaser (idem)
>Eviction Notice (i don't know why was it even nerfed)

>>718822708
right on both sides wins again

>>718814167
Based as fuck.

Also fuck Artefact.
Also how did the watch get nerfed?

Play TF2C

>>718822573
the health is good and u can put them in bushes. but i still play combat engi without gunslinger alot of the time. regular sentry can always be built up by my slave 2nd engi while im doing combat engi things.

>>718816003
castaway VA has been full 90% of the time for the last few weeks, lil bro.

>>718822708
still can't believe they killed alltalk in pubs for no reason

I.
Fucking.
Kneel.

>>718813801 (OP)
And it still rewards you for being a shitty spy who gets caught!

>>718823026
dead ringer having a cooldown is super gay. cooldowns are lazy design.
it shouldn't create a fake ammo box, thats bullshit.

Anyone remember that server that always plays that?

>>718813801 (OP)
Who cares? At this point if you're still huffing copium thinking that Valve will un-fuck the nerfing spree between MYM and Jungle Inferno, you're beyond helping. Face it, Valve made it very fucking clear that if you don't main Soldier, Demo, or Medic, they do not give a flying fuck about you, and do not want you to have fun, yet Soldierfaggots galore will constantly deny this at every turn because they want everyone to think spamming rockets in the general direction of the floor and wall near an enemy takes skill.

I miss playing on this map

>>718824351
I mean I can almost see it if you're running the jag or something, but you gotta consider the extra 25 health and amazing synergy with the frontier justice (a steady flow of 2-3 crits is fucking awesome)

>>718823026
>demo should not get to oneshot light classes on melee range with no downside whatsoever
The downside is that he gets caught in his own explosion and can easily be finished off.

Sandman was unjustly nerfed. Fight me.

>>718819460
That's wrong on a fuck ton of levels. Stock plus Kunai is a far better call that helps with his weaknesses

>>718825987
FACT: Soldier only seems easy if you are playing an easy class yourself
>Soldier vs Scout
High skill encounter that tests both players aim, movement and positioning
>Soldier vs Demoman
High skill encounter that tests both players aim, movement and positioning
>Soldier vs Soldier
High skill encounter that tests both players aim, movement and positioning

Anything else like Heavy or Engineer and its just shooting the floor against highly immobile targets. I would have put old combo Pyro in this too but since they buffed the airblast hitbox to make reflects retardproof I can't say that any more.

>>718826898
ehhh i wouldnt mind it coming back with a stun but that shit is cancerous, because you need skill and aim to even be able to fucking use it.

I dont even know what I would even do in order to balance it the concept it had was the only reason for using it.

>>718828643
how/when did pyro airblast change?
i dont like how you can hardly airblast stickies

>>718830083
Jungle Inferno

>>718826898
>the strongest stun mechanic in the game
>you have to trade in the fucking stock bat to get it
the balance on this thing flies out the window the moment you realize you can just keep chucking this thing at people without any repercussion. it's not like the cleaver where you have to trade in a reliable backup for good damage, it's the stock bat. you weren't using that shit anyways
>but you have -15 health to work with now
you get one shot by rockets at point blank range and huntsman arrows, as if those didn't fuck you over already. You can still tank a meatshot or a pipe to the face, you're just a bit squishier now to chip damage

>>718829992
Honestly, crowd control is a bad idea for a game like Team Fortress 2. Even less so for a character that runs fast.

>>718814167
holy shit

>>718816368
>tranny community servers
zoomers are beyond saving

>>718831283
does it feel good? to peek behind the curtain?

>>718816003
>Shilling for trannies
You do it for free btw

>>718822708
Furry Pound is the only good server in this image

>>718823026
>>Caber (demo should not get to oneshot light classes on melee range with no downside whatsoever)
Having to be in melee range IS the downside. Caber was an absolutely undeserved nerf considering it was a fucking meme weapon that killed you as often as it did kill enemies.

>>718823026
>demo should not get to oneshot light classes on melee range with no downside whatsoever
If a Scout, Sniper, Engineer, or Spy died to a caber, they 100% deserved it. Scout should never be close enough to get hit, Spy was going to die anyway in this situation regardless of weapon, Engineer's sentry should fuck the Caber demo, and Sniper dying to someone not in their scope is 100% a skill issue.
The real reason it was nerfed was because of Medics, who had zero counterplay against sticky jumping demos trading themselves for med kills, which is ONLY relevant to 6s compfags. So no, caber nerf was not, and never will be, justified.

>>718816379
in all fairness, that's all community servers
which is why pubs are superior

It's more of a modern issue of "community" servers.
Because nobody has real communities these days, just people desperately trying to imitate something they never had.

>>718830083
It changed in jungle inferno but got reverted a few months ago back to normal
