you can't buy them from the store, or on the market. I literally can't complete that contract now.

This happened to me. Activate the other contract and then reactivate the one you were just on.

The ability to save a sentry that's about to be destroyed by an ubered demoman is the point of the RR. The counterplay is to either kill or distract the engineer first/while they're carrying it, or force them to pull it to such a remote location that it's essentially destroyed anyway.

I play RR Engineer a lot and the best way to get rid of a sentry that I'm drip-feeding from far away is for a demo to put down enough stickies to kill it in one detonation. It can't tank that much burst damage and when I see a demo putting down stickies I'll usually pre-emptively yoink it, which incidentally gets rid of the sentry and frees up the choke that it was guarding. Then I have to put it down in a new, likely less ideal location and hope that the enemy team doesn't take advantage of the now unguarded path to push up and kill me and my sentry as it slowly redeploys.

The RR is also limited by its fire rate and its clip size. I can save my sentry from chip damage with the RR but not from a coordinated attack from multiple explosive classes, in which case odds are I'm gonna yoink it which leads to the above scenario. This applies to any other sentries I might be trying to keep alive except I can't yoink them, and also if I'm shielding it with the wrangler I'm not doing anything else. All the engineers typical strengths and weaknesses apply here.

If the enemy is stacking 6 engineers then you are going to need to coordinate with your team to break it no matter what they're using.

I actually barely use the Wrangler because I find the ability to defend myself from flanks and spies with the pistol to be better than the shield, especially since if you're using the shield then the sentry either isn't firing, or you're exposing yourself in order to aim it and thus easy sniper fodder.

---------------------------->
Basically what I'm saying is that the engineer is either playing aggressively with the wrangler in which case shoot him first, or he's squatting next to a dispenser somewhere plinking it with the RR, in which case you want to pressure the sentry and force him to either yoink it (which eliminates the sentry) or shields it (which stops it from firing because if he's turtling around a corner he doesn't have an angle)

I've been playing mostly non-Halloween maps for the past few days and have noticed an insane uptick in bots.

Like, 70% of matches seem to be decided by which team needs to waste the most time kicking bots (for whatever that's worth considering the bots just use the console to dodge the kick and rejoin 5 minutes later)

Is this because Halloween is messing with the bot-to-player ratio in normal TF2? Because I know TF2's bot problem has ballooned in recent months but I heard that it was improving

On the plus side, I am impressed at how efficient the playerbase has become at spotting and kicking bots.

Yeah so Halloween doesn't seem to have been the problem because casual matchmaking is still swarming with bots. Like shitloads of them and most matches are still mostly spent kicking bots than actually playing the game.

I guess that the message was "Heavies don't make for great push ubers most of the time" but on the other hand the video, and the blurb, make the case that Pyro or Scout should take priority over a Heavy for Ubers when ehhhhhhhhh I dunno if that's good advice. Especially since Heavies have enough health to tank the damage required to get into position before getting ubered.

It's possible to get some stupidly funny killing sprees by ubering a Pyro and letting them W+M1 into an enemy camp but Scout ubers are the sort of thing you're really only going to find in competitive scenarios and even then it seems like it'd be pretty situational.

Unfortunately the bot problem seems to be a result of TF2's current F2P model combined with running on spaghetti code that's almost old enough to vote and probably isn't fixable without a massive change

otoh, Valve is showing interest in going at the source directly, especially since I've seen botters start to sell "bot exemptions" to players for real world money, which seems to cross the line from "breaks the ToS" to "literally illegal"
