What happened?

>>3656

Alternate name for the Neighbor's Pneumatic:

The Hot Potato

Had this idea for a Healthy Heavy set

Soviet Soaker

+100% pushback

+20% speed

-90% Damage

Watercannon shaped like a water bottle with a nipple cap that pushes enemies and extinguishes teammates. Right click builds pressure and keeps it ready, while left click releases it. Taunt is heavy taking a drink from it.

Granolachev

+Heals 10 health

+10% Maximum Health

+10% speed

Can carry 3 at a time, effects can stack when eaten consecutively.

Can't think of anything for melee though, oh well.

>>3731

I like it.

Irishman spotted

tbh all these weapons seems like messy and complicated versions of already existing alternatives. Neighbor's Pneumatic is like the Loch, Wicklow Whacker like the FanOWar, Caffeinator like Crit-a-Cola.

Im surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Critsandvich is pretty nice, has multiple servers. Good regulars and map variety but has random crits. 24 player limit.

There's also fucked in the head's servers. No random crits, higher skilled regulars. Does have the downside of 32 player limit at peak times and if you curse in chat/voice a mod might scold you.

They are back.

Please kill yourself. That mod is shitty and the people who play it are cancer incarnate.

I think the Weeabootique still fills up Friday evenings. It's not much and it's on a different IP now, but it's better than the other chan micspam server.

>>3716

Before you have an aneurysm try this tactic.

1. Turn off flames (viewmodel_fov 0.1)

2. Degreaser/shotgun/powerjack

3. Get behind and just flame people

4. Try to stay at the max flame range and lead players into your fire. Circle strafe.

Think of the shotgun as added dps and not your primary means of doing damage like before. Flamethrower DPS is really good now at range.

>>3721

You misunderstand my post.

Degreaser is not nerfed in my opinion, it's just shit and pointless. The trade-off between swap speed and damage reduction was what made it fun. There was strategy involved. After they added the airblast stun it took the fun out of airblasting people, and puff-sting combos with the flare gun or axtinguisher were never fun, but it was nice to be able to swap quickly to the homewrecker to take off sappers and get a quick flare in on a retreating person who tried to ambush you.

Sneaking, strafing, reflecting, killing anyone who tries to run, spreading panic. That's what's unique and fun about pyro. Yes, I could get much better results if I switched to boring, gimmicky close-range shotgun blasts or airblast stun combos or just use the backburner or the phlog, but if I wanted to just be a faggot about TF2 I'd go sniper full time and quickscope anything under the sun because TF2 sniping is ezmode. Or just be that retarded trickstabbing spy.

>shotgun as primary damage

This is basically as bad as phlog pyros and the reason I want nothing to do with competitive. May as well just take out the other classes and do autistic soldier matches with lots of shotgun blasts and rocket jumping over and over and over (which is extremely popular in comp, actually) if you're not going to play a class emphasizing its class features.

Circle-strafing with degreaser was fine with less damage because it was a challenge, it made you think and didn't reward w+m1 or indiscriminately approaching enemies. Now it's just stock with faster switch for more autismblasts from shotgun or more shitty airblast-sting combos with stunlock, and full damage, but it rewards people ambushing pyros because lolnerfedafterburn and demoknights can go full retard and shake off afterburn entirely. Without the degreaser, with the phlog even more buffed and still with that stupid taunt-for-crit, pyro is now designed entirely for w+m1 and spamming bullshit combos, just a short-range heavy. Now babbies crying about W+M1 actually have a point.

>nerfs degreaser

>is still the best flamethrower

This is the worst update of them all.

I'm just gonna redtext and go full capslock to show how angry and valid my points are.

THE ÜBERSAW IS STILL A SHIT WEAPON, WHERE IS THE DRAWBACK TO THAT INSANE THING

Weapon skins have a chance of being Unusual

>direct hit soldiers

cry about how OP it is in everyone's face, until valve nerfs it like the loch.

>>3727

The difference being that the Direct Hit is actually more challenging to use than the Loch and does less bullshit damage.

>>3726

OP how are you struggling vs Direct Hits? It's like a godsend as scout to realize a soldier is using Direct Hit. lrn2strafe and remember you have double jump. If you want some perspective, try fighting direct hits up close with a pyro or heavy, go back to scoot and it will seem ez.

Also if you're struggling with meatshots just be a scrub and use the FaN, at this point no one will even blame you with all of the other BS out there weapons-wise.

>>3726

High fps is key to aiming. Also play DM.

>>3726

Change your connection settings. There are lots of guides out there to help you do this.

Fiddle with your settings until you're getting at least 30 FPS at all times. Any less and your aim will be affected.

Check your mouse settings. You're best off using raw input and no acceleration. As for the sensitivity, that's personal preference.

In combat, never hold down the fire button. Press it once every time you want to fire.

For fighting direct hit soldiers, you have two options.

A: fight them like they're using hitscan and get as close as possible. This doesn't work well on skilled soldiers, but throws off most people.

B: keep enough distance that you can dodge every rocket.

>Tell him to make his own fucking server if he wants to duel. I have one, it ain't fuckin hard at all. Download steamcmd and follow a guide, you'll have your server in 15 minutes

>"2 hard"

>he blocks me

This exact thing has happened several times in the past, more than I can count. One time I actually helped someone set up their own server and walked them through it and we talked more after that but they eventually removed me for some reason.

Eh, I leave em alone. I just stop by em to get some sammy.

Can we establish that "spycrabs" are obviously included in friendlies and anyone who objects to them being killed with even a speck of seriousness should an hero?

>>3444

You're on a pub, use your support class to attack and defend instead whenever you find yourself on a shit server. After a million infuriating deaths, you will find that you have begun to git gud, then you can go back to support on good teams and you'll have a contingency for when the tide of battle turns.

Because it's impossible to disguise as a team mate… Fuck friendlies.

Get lucky by unboxing a crate for the price of $2.49 or buy one for a minimum of $20 on the Steam Market or through item trading on websites and servers like TF2Outpost, Backpack.tf, or TF2 Bazaar.

don't bother

An alternative is to start trading from a scrap and all the way up the ladder,

which would take rougly the same amount of time as taking a job and earning enough to buy 10 unusuals.

>>3614

so my point is, that trading is an abstract and unrecognized and possibly masochistic art form, which takes unimaginable dedication to the uninitiated.

Scam
