I just want to play heavy for once man. Is there any way to just make them fuck off the server or at least switch class? I'm starting to think that unless I go full tryhard mode its not even worth it anymore...

>>528757935
I feel like I can only play heavy full sweat or gimmick/friendly heavy, no in-between.
Heavy is a fat fuck with sustained damage, so there's a certain threshold of tryhardyness where you actually kill your opponents as opposed to them just being able to walk away. You can't really pick who to fight so you have no choice of who you want to target. "Casual heavy" is just a fat, shitty support that at best leaves the enemies at 30% health left (and if they have a medic you're essentially an über-feeding machine).
That's without even mentioning snipers and spies, both of which make it so that, if you want to play, you have to flick your mouse like it's an actual sport.

>people thought this game to be an old timer 10 years ago
forever old I guess

>>528757935
I play heavy a lot. I guess staying intentionally in groups is important. I always use the GRU as the extra movement speed always throws a lot of people off, knowing when the dequip them before engaging is important. If you're playing something like payload or CP stay in open areas you can't be surprised from. I mean really what does it mean to go "full sweat mode", just keep your brain on and maintain your superior positioning. Heavy is all positioning.

>OW actually died before TF2 somehow
lol

>>528663164
i mean im doing my job, im watching the flanks, i commit when i have to or when theres clear advantages, i have positive KD, but people still look at the logs...
what am i supposed to do? waste ammo spamming pistol to boost DPM? i wish logs.tf was never invented, i bet Counterstrike comp guys dont care about damage per minute or any of that BS

>3rd most played in steam
this must've been a while back. Ever since CSGO turned into CS2 and went F2P its been huge while TF2 has been displaced from its common top 10 place on steam. What was the last time it was top 10? 2016 ?
and TF2 players have been saying TF2 is dead since at least 2011

>>528771382
>What was the last time it was top 10? 2016?
2023 at least, but that was mostly due to idle-bots
some of them have been scared away from the spinbot bans

>top 100 tf2 players of all time (2021)

The list was outdated the moment it was published and aged like milk. At the time it was published, some placements felt like they were decided 1 year or more before the published date. The bias towards older players is intense in tery's list. Some placements I thought were especially egregious:

Underrated: alex.exe, soapy (both omitted), muma (95, multiple championships and an international LAN), lolguy (91, already had a championship), branslam (84, already had a championship), marmaloo (45), corsa (41), yight (35), jay (30, the most ridiculous placement by far), arekk (14, despite having 13 championships at the time)

Overrated: alexwut (100), saber07 (99, got his championship by subbing in for enigma on complexity in grand finals), Hubris (89, only played 29 matches in 2008), yaug(65, only ever made playoffs twice?) Mackey (58), indust (57), destro (50), oPlaid (46), SolidSnake (44), boomer (42), jaeger (39), tyrone (38), pyyour (23), dummy (19, makes no sense with duwatna at 40), carnage (18, among the most ridiculous placements)

who cares about those soulless robots

>tfw met a bunch of TF2 robots on LAN instead of sitting at home being angry at comp
is it over for me?

it's crazy how community servers either require an application with references to play or have zero rules whatsoever resulting in the cesspit that is castaway
casual is in between based entirely on vote kicks being democratic in nature

>join an uncensored community server centered around recreating the 2000s/2010s experience
>see people messing around and having fun as they please with no filter
>immediately break down and go on an autistic tirade about the need for mass censorship because it doesn't fall in line with leftist politics
Why are they like this?
