idk how this is even a point of contention for anyone lol unless u literally go in like a dm server and all u do is mindlessly spam projectiles instead of actually trying to play then yeah spam is bad? like whats the point of playing like that? but casual (as in valve casual) is already so horrendously mindless and so u cant expect people to literally put their brain on 100% for every person on their screen instead of just holding m2 and clicking m1 with stickies lol

Demo and Soldier are my favorite classes so Ill make sure to save this one to reference every TF2 game I play theae classes

Casual and comp are just different games. Spam is literally unavoidable in casual sometimes. Especially if a sniper is denying your counterplay options

That first mid tho. Holy slow. I do find spam to be a little annoying, cuz dying to some cheap bullshit isn't all that fun, but mostly in highlander. Engie naturally creates the two worst spam magnets: sentry spot and dispenser pocket. And by pure miracle of coincidence, you tend to play around these areas quite a lot. So yeah, it's usually -100 metal, or you're sent to respawn queue. Oh, and also payload carts... Yeah, they sure do exist.

quick question regarding competitive: are resolutions wider than 16:9 allowed? it gives you a bigger FOV over others

Awnser: Cope, but fuck the vaccinatior. Also the base jumper was just a parachute that being changed was upsetting.

Explosive spam is the only counterplay many classes have against sniper and the only real interaction they have except getting shot in the head.

Me when I send mail:

Demo main trying to justify spam

Another video from the relaxing video game analysis king 😌 much appreciated.

random question from the uninintiated: why does the medic hit their medic bind so much, even when not damaged?? is it just a joke or does it have real tactical purpose

low skilled players think the only thing to be skilled at is mechanical skill and doesn't conceptualize skill of strategy or making decisions based on situation

Casual players claim to not like spam, yet Dustbowl remains a popular map in Casual mode...

I'm a chad sticky spammer.

i cannot believe u would support the wrong spam®

spam haters when they find out about WW1 (1 million bomb shells per week)

I obviously agree, but its a bit more important/frustrating in 12v12 casual matches, which is most of what the tf2 community plays, having 3 demos and 2 solds per team can get very stalematy even without the typical 3 engi setup you often see in casual mm. love your content btw, I'd love to play some comp but unless ure in the scene and know ppl here in south amercia it isnt the easiest lol

on a different note, hawaiian style marinades for spam the food are actually really tasty. I like to marinade cubes of spam and then fry them and add them to some rice and thats just a good time

I'll just leave it here: dust *cough cough* bowl

M1 go brrrr (skillfully)

What does he mean with "the gun" ? in the bonk speech about the new meta?, does he mean the sentry?

As a "mostly casual" player, spam was never the issue more than distribution of damage in relation to player count and class distribution. There's many, many factors from health, player and damage numbers minimizing the factor of skill/knowledge. To make it simple: more spammable classes, less effective counter-play options per player. It's a lot easier for one player to dodge spam when there's 2 demos, 1 soldiers revolving around 1 medic than 3 soldiers, 2 demos with 2 medics. With double the players, there's double the flank coverage, likely double the explosive damage. Similarly there's the problem with Snipers and Spy with more players. Spy has an exponentially easier time to slip by when there's more players involved (especially with less available communication) due to the amount of distractions and false-flags teammates can raise. Sniper has twice the meat shield in teammate health and damage done to flankers trying to stop them, hence why people also say Sniper is overpowered. Heavies too are less played in 6s due to the fact there's less available healing for him from medics and health kits and amplified focus due to less additional teammates providing immediate cover/support damage. Aside, I love Demo and Soldier especially for the silly movement play, but it's safe to say their damage potential is exponential compared to anyone else due to just how explosives work (able to hit multiple targets for less precision and large amount of enemy movement luck). Spam is a core way to suppress and stifle enemy movement, and a valid tactic, but definitely annoying to play against when the team happens to have fairly high number of explosive classes. Needless to say, there's no real way to balance a team game for 6s, 12s and 100 player lobbies. Spam isn't bad, the attitude and over-reliance on it is stale and bad.

Spam is one of the biggest pieces of evidence that sniper is a fundamentally unhealthy character design outside of The Classic and The Huntsman. Sniper basically fulfills most of the things spam does but hitscan with more damage, less positional commit, and without the downtime spam has due to ammo management.

can you make a video about the competitive viability of drinking and driving?

demo is old sagat

As a casual player, I bounce between so many different maps that I never know where my positioning is because I'm totally lost half the time. A smaller map roster might be one of the reasons it's more nuanced in competitive than casual.

Hmm. This means the more map knowledge I get, the less random being blown up with seemingly no warning will be. I can't see it coming yet, because I don't know which spots are dangerous yet. The problem for me is that developing map knowledge and awareness is really difficult with all the other things I'm preoccupied with as I try to learn the game.

Hot take turbo babyyyyyyyyyyyy

wild rumpus: if you die to spam its your fault for bad positioning and not dodging me playing 100 player tf2, when all 3 flanks are being constantly spammed by enemy demomen and soldiers who are kept healed and resupplied by level 3 dispensers: 💀(i still love 100 player btw)

say what you want about spam but a med getting 2-piped by blind cross-map loch pre-fire spam is extremely annoying and unfun. imo there has to be limited reward associated with spam because as you say it isn't very risky to do and less exciting than other kinds of combat. spam has its place but im fairly certain no sixes player would want the meta to revolve entirely around spam.

gotta love that thumbnail

my crouch jumps are way too weak compared to what other demos do, like kaidus on his rollout... what do i do to fix this?

Nice arrows my guy!

maybe hero shooters in General shouldn't be eSport

Hilarious how you proceed to yap for 20 mins after answering the clickbaity question title in the first 7 seconds of the video, peak Wild Rumpus it is :D

33:25 probably because of the Uber charge glitch. Healing a heavy with the fists of steel out charges Uber twice as fast as normal, and this effect persists even when they switch weapons unless you break your beam

it is interesting how TF2's competitive bans things that threaten its META while other games would embrace these changes or just learn to adapt to them

At this rate, just go stock only

Well, to the people who want the Crossbow removed. Play Team Fortress 2 Classic. There is NO Crossbow, nor any alternatives to the Syringe Gun. It still has the Ubersaw, but, with a 10 health penalty. The closest thing to the Crossbow is a melee that has a meter like Jarate. When it's full and you hit a teammate. They get fully healed. (Or if they already have full health, a full overheal instead.) The downside? Slower swing speed? Reduced damage? No, it actually does 100 damage when fully charged. (And uses that charge. And does 1 when not charged.) The two major downsides is. It makes your Medigun have 15% less heal speed. And it heals disguised Spies.... The latter hurts more. Because the 15% slower heal speed can help build Ubers faster. Especially with the Kritz. But... yeah... the lack of Crossbow does, as you said. Make Medic less fun overall. I find myself missing the crossbow when I'm playing TF2C. (And when I play vanilla TF2. =V)

Buff syringeguns by giving them healing utility instead of nerfing the crossbow

what is this cope video thats trying to make tf2 relevant again??

I wanted to see you cast the grand final because I saw you on the game before but it's okay😔😔

Rumpus, do you think any scout secondary should be unbanned? Scout has many banned secondaries

Crossbow shouldn’t be banned simply because it allows the least versatile class in the game some fun skill expression :) Nothing like hitting a clutch bolt across map! One of the most satisfying weapons in the game for me!

I think that at this point the crossbow has become a fundamental part of tf2 as a whole you can't remove it from the game in any way without messing something up

Should it be banned in competitive? Those nerds can do whatever they want, they essentially want to bring TF2 as close to Quake 2/3 as possible. I think their ideal game would be a modded Quake 2 with 4 classes: Soldier, Demo, Scout and Medic. With no unlocks, and CC as the Medic's primary. As for casual, AKA REAL TF2, so many fun stuff has been nerfed to death already, I dread if Valve ever listens to competitive players again. If anything, it's not the Crossbow that should be nerfed, it's the Syringe guns that should be buffed. I dunno, give them all a heal on hit stat, so you can heal teammates 1 HP per syringe, leave everything as is. The Crossbow would be still the best in terms of damage/healing, but Syringe guns would have more fun stats.

i mean as a healing focused medic, (crusaders, quick fix, the emote heal saw i blank on the name of) there is alot that can be done to make medic a nightmare to deal with because his team wont die

ngl, super depressing to watch your demo of you being absolutely destroyed, it's kinda ptsd triggering pls put some nicer demos love your vids <3

Is there anyway to make Heavy more viable without neutering his weapons to "fit the meta" like how they did with the Eviction Notice.

Personally I think the wrangler is cope. Since double stacking engi is not allowed with enough direct fire one of two things is gonna happen, the sentry gets out gunned or the engie dies from sustained fire.
