ban people who quit the lobby theyre in to play the next one for the rest of their life

you're correct that teams make rotations in both game modes, but the intentions behind rotations are pretty different in each format. in 5cp if you're rotating as the offensive team its probably to get in through a better entrance for the situation at hand. If you're rotating on gpit you aren't just choosing a different entrance, you're choosing a whole different area to push into. the rotations on gpit take much longer and are much bigger decisions to make than flipping your combo between big door and choke on gully.

yes, your role as the defender or attacker is set in stone but that doesn't mean there is no room for different tactics or for the game state to be complex. Back in the turbo boomer days of tf2 you would see all sorts of different ways people would play gpit defense. Some teams would completely give up on point A while others would try their best to defend both. Counter stike is played attack vs defense and there's plenty of room for complexity. The big difference is that CS defusal maps have better balance between A/B than gravelpit so you're more likely to actually have to make a choice about which point to focus on.

i wonder if more teams would try to pull off the "iron man" strat and actually defend A instead of going all in on defending B due to the fact that you can now rotate your medic at scout speed. A is also a very scout friendly part of the map and might be easier to defend today than it was in 2010

I wonder why he doesn't give an example of people pushing the skill ceiling of those characters. Maybe it's cuz its nothing more than people getting better at aiming her rockets and other fps mechanics that are inherent to all games in the genre

yeah id agree thats probably what the issue is. I was just trying to give a more reasonable interpretation of a post that may have been a little hard to read.

I dont think its that hard to interpret lol. hes just saying that younger people (who he believes tend to play in AM) can be pretty naive and don't understand how insidious pedophilia/grooming can be so they often overlook it. Do you really think he was saying kids are pedo defenders lmao

i would love it if someone made a 5cp/koth map that looked like phoenix. As for the map itself, probably my favorite from the update. It just feels so "tf2" before the art style got anoodleated

Venice is garbage.

cashworks is bad by today's standards but it was pretty cool to see the map finally added to the game officially.

seal map is fun and i'm happy /r/tf2 has something new to meme about. good for them.

Last week I auditioned for a role in Hamilton, a musical about Alexander Hamilton that uses hip hop in addition to showtunes to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, who was a founding president of the United States. I have not taken to the stage in many years, but it was just a local production so I thought I should tryout for the role of well.... Hamilton. I know I'm not the greatest rapper but my acting chops are pretty decent so i figured it was worth a shot. It bummed me out a little, but I'm not too surprised that they gave the role to someone else since Hamilton is known for casting its historically significant and significantly white characters as people of color. I'm all in support of this, however I wonder if my contemporaries actually gave a better performance or if the judges were prejudiced towards people of color for this role. I don't really blame them, and I'd happily give up any role in the name of representation, but I'm not too sure if the judges were very knowledgeable about rap. They seemed very "becky" and "chad" if you catch my drift. I wouldn't say I'm a technical or historical expert on the subject, but I spend a lot of time browsing /r/hiphopheads so I've picked up on a lot about flow and cadence.

While I was on stage I was directed to go "stage right", so I went to the right side of the stage and was promptly reprimanded for going the wrong way. I have to admit my ego was a little bruised by this interaction but I'm sure it happens all the time so I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. Anway, it reminded me of this time back in season season 5 during process week when our demoman Yohnny called that their demoman was going right to start off the midfight. My plan at this point as flank scout was to run at him a little to pressure him, but unfortunately I ended up going the wrong way since I interpreted "right" as the enemy's right, not right from our team's perspective. Yohnny got pretty frustrated and it was kinda silly of me in retrospect, but he kept bringing it up for little too long to the point where it wasn't even funny anymore.

It was a really shitty experience, but thankfully it inspired this suggestion. What if we used "stage right" and "stage left" in our comms to better communicate what exactly we mean when we're telling our teammates what the other team is trying to do? For example, if the demo is goin to the medium pack at process mid you would say they're going stage left and stage right if theyre going towards the small rock. I really think this could make communication in game a lot better.

I hate it when I'm talking to a broad about yogurt and their favorite is chobani like that makes them any better than a yoplait bitch

Bump for resup message me on discord @ myls I'll play scout for good team soldier for bad team And medic for teams too good for me

its a good song! i'm not one to listen to slow stuff like this but i still think the execution is pretty good. The progressions are tasteful and i appreciated the bends and little flourishes here and there. I'm not really a fan of the organ tbh. just seems like they wanted to fill out the mix or something but the song really doesnt need it. On the other hand, i do like how the guitar sounds as you can hear a lot of string noise and other imperfections which suits the song really well. The music video is not exactly exciting but the execution is really good. her face hits hard lol.

Whenever I try playing a game with ridiculous fov I actually see less of my surroundings because I have to focus so hard to see the tiny little guy I'm trying to aim at in the middle of the screen

I get why some people don't get along with Liam, but his LFT thread does not deserve to be at 0, that's for people who are truly insuffferable beyond belief, like yohnny. The thing about liam is that 80 percent of the time he is pretty chill, but 20% percent of the time you're playing tf2 with bpd weebs, and liam doesn't get along so well with them. Its not that he's hateful towards these people, the issue is that he sees them as equals who can be reasoned with, so he will argue with them for hours on end instead of conceding to gamer tantrums. This is why liam has so many obsessive haters.
I promise you, if your team is is all well adjusted normal people he will fit in just fine. Hes a dedicated, analytical player, who tries his hardest for any team he plays for. Give him a shot.

i made way into the enemy's intel room on 2fort only to see 8 of my own engineers fully set up in orderly rows saying "operation cubicle" while whacking their full hp buildings with their wrenches.

unban bonk. its super easy to punish because of the speed you lose when you take damage, but if you have your team support you its feasible to get behind while taking minimum damage, from which point you can coordinate something with your team.
