Wait who thinks heavies are overpowered? Unless you happen to be defending a very good sentry spot explosives classes will dunk on you.

Yeah if you can force a straight deathmatch you'll probably beat a soldier, but if there are any corners nearby they can just hide between rockets and win pretty easily.

You can just completely ignore hats. There have been real updates (mainly new weapons and maps and stuff), the most notable one would probably be the addition of a co-op gamemode, Mann vs Machine.

Yeah realistically you'll have access to all the unlockable weapons you want pretty quickly (most of them can be found on bot sites like scrap.tf, and if not then you can almost always find someone who will trade you the base weapon as long as you're prepared to give them two weapons for it).

If you factor in reloading the SMG and pistol are pretty much the same if all the bullets hit. So yeah the SMG is basically worse. It makes sense though, the sniper isn't meant to be good if he's isolated at close range. khwarezm posted:You know what? You're right, I need to complain about new exciting things, forget mini-sentries, heavies, huntsmen whatever I realized a while ago that what I really hate fighting against is the baby face's blaster, especially as demoman or another scout.

I've tried forcing myself to play sniper to improve my aim, but I generally just get bored and start going for jarate/bushwacka kills (2fort is pretty good for this, nobody expects snipers to actually leave the battlements and chase them).

Frankly posted:Also how do you guys deal with Short Circuit Engies nesting up? Apart from Sniper/Spy I'm out of ideas and both are situational really Really a heavy/medic can usually break the nest, and there's certainly nothing they can do once you put an uber on them. Although I did once defend a payload point for 10 minutes because the other team didn't work out you could uber classes other than demos.

If players on the losing team quit then that also forces people on the stacked team to autobalance, I don't see how it's any different. In any case I don't think anybody ever did the spectator exploit to help their team, they did it to stack onto the other side and make it more unbalanced. I think ideally the only way to change to the other team after a game has started would be autobalance, that way you prevent the stacking from occurring at all. Doesn't matter if you go to spectate or leave and come back, it wouldn't let you on the other team.

The confusion probably arises because as a good (or even moderately competent) player the responsibility of dealing with sentries often falls to you, so you are pretty much forced away from scout. If you have other decent team-mates then you can go scout to deal with the enemy dudes (or even to help with the sentry if you take Bonk!).

I've seen people request saps on sentries to help with pushes in slightly more co-ordinated servers. Doesn't help much in pubs though.

I think Engineers are actually a good part of the game, having to defend a teleporter when on the attack/good sentry spots and dispensers when on defense is interesting.

I can't see how any non-minigun Heavy primary would work, it would feel gimmicky because the Heavy is all about being able to project power on the spot for a sustained period of time. I guess something melee focused could be OK because that's just enhancing something fun you can do with the class anyway.

The problem I'd have with a sniper rifle that rewards headshots and punishes bodyshots is that there are already two of those (Bazaar Bargain, Hitman's Heatmaker) along with a third that situationally rewards headshots and removes no-scope bodyshots (Machina). As far as I'm concerned that design area has pretty much been explored.

Which is why 6v6 teams are always just 6 soldiers? And I'd say area denial and being able to fire on people before you can see them are pretty useful attributes even at the highest level.

The Short Circuit is pretty rough if the Engineer manages to set up near a large metal pack eg in the first house on Barn Blitz - that way it can be pretty tough for any individual to take him out. Heavy or pyro ubers are probably the best responses you can pull together on a pub server.

Yeah when I posted it I was thinking about the pushes you can get on more organized servers that revolve around a well-timed sap. Maybe the other team instantly notices and kills the spy, but now their sentry is disabled and a whole bunch of guys are rushing at them.

I don't find heavies that good on pub games just because so many people go sniper and even really bad snipers can slaughter heavies. Occasionally the stars align and you play against a team with no snipers and just steamroll them, but that's pretty rare. I find it's usually a matter of "turn a game that would be an easy win into a laughably trivial win" rather than a class that actually turns a balanced game into a won one.

Heavies are both very easy to headshot and pitifully bad at long range though. I don't even know who could be a "less difficult player" for a sniper to go after.

Assuming the engineer has found a perfect spot (otherwise they can be sniped or corner killed) and that they're perfect at shooting down explosives (otherwise they'll run out of ammo before a demoman) and that they're also perfect at repairing their sentry you need two people to bust an SC: a medic to press M2 and a pyro to press M1. That does not seem like an unreasonable amount of teamwork to me.
