Blue's Roost
United States
Приєднався 15 сер 2017
My satellite channel for quicker and more experimental TF2 stuff.
What if we deleted half of TF2's weapons?
Picture this thought experiment: Valve announces that half of the unlockable weapons in TF2 would be deleted - however, the community would be the ones to decide which weapons got to stay and which ones had to go. In this case, which weapons would you choose? Well, that's the discussion that @fishstickonastick-gaming and I wanted to have, and as it turns out, the decisions were a lot harder to make than we expected.

"Why upload this on your side channel instead of your main?" The direction my main channel is heading is beginning to warrant higher and higher quality per video which I don't think lesser-edited videos like this uphold very well. While there's definitely an audience for this sort of thing, most people on Great Blue are there for the maps with friends and "What if?" videos, and I want (most of) the uploads on there to have time put into them rather than being unfiltered 2+ hour discussions. There's still plenty of quicker stuff I enjoy making, though, so Blue's Roost is my compromise so that I can continue to make these "auxiliary" videos without compromising my quality and tanking my metrics on Great Blue. Who knows - if videos on this channel become popular, maybe I'll consider putting some more time into them and moving them back over. (Plus, should I ever decide to move my main channel away from TF2, I'll still want somewhere established to talk about TF2 stuff since I can't imagine myself ever completely leaving this game.)

What is TF2's Cheesiest Weapon?
Переглядів 317 тис.3 місяці тому
You ever die to a TF2 weapon you know is statistically balanced but still think it's unfair? Call now, we can help. This is a tier list ranking every weapon in TF2 based on how "cheesy" it is (or in other words, how unfun/unfair it feels to play against). This is NOT necessarily a discussion of balance - while a weapon being unbalanced could make it feel more cheesy, that is completely secondar...
The most absurd TF2 weapon rebalance video
Переглядів 907 тис.4 місяці тому
A test of a style of video I want to try! This is a video from creator Grouch that's been floating around the TF2 sphere recently and become rather infamous for the absurd rebalance ideas. Originally I wanted to dissect them with fellow weapon rebalance enthusiast FishStickOnAStick as a more serious analysis of what makes rebalances work and not. However, upon having more friends join the discu...

Breaking a Server's Scoreboard with Sappers - The Full Thing
Ngl i wanna see a TF2 hipster do a keep or delete weapons. And all of the weapons from deleted section are the ones to be kept and the ones in keep are deleted.
I have a cheesy load out for tfort and a strat for it first play pyro and equip the back burner, thermal thruster and any melee then go up to the enemy sniper nest area you know and start burnin
10:48 no, they didn’t retexture the bonk. This fucking thing was slapped together so quickly that for a hot minute there it had the exact same texture as the bonk
The 0 IQ communism comment…
Instead of a typical Riot Shield for Heavy, make it like Demoman's shields, as in Damage Resistance rather than full negation.
Tf2 will update faster than me finishing this video
27:49 splatoon
urgh the heavy hater has such bad opinions
There is absolutely counterplay to the DH as Scout. Don't run in a straight fucking line at the Soldier.
“You stupid winger!” 🗣️🗣️💯
Ok, i know this is an insane take, but the enforcer "buffs" aren't unsalvageable. Just hear me out on this. What if the damage bleed was based on the % of missing health the enemy has. So for example if you shot a heavy with 100 hp left it would do 14 damage per tick (20% missing hp every single bleed tick)
Every time this pops up in my feed I'm like "hey this looks interesting" and then I see the run time
Find the whole kitchen this man was using and BURN IT DOWN. Also, this guy IS a Sniper main and is lying out of his ass. He buffed sniper tools, then nerfed his counters straight into the ground. Probably loves the heat-maker too so he want's it ALONE to be viable.
risk of rain mentioned 🔥
Better get used to the broken Vacc, its here to stay ^^
People already ree like children at Afterburn damage why would you make bleed last even longer than that
as the 1 person who actively prefers the overdose to the crossbow, yeah removing it is fair, if the effect was at most, half of the speed boost is a passive effect it'd probably have more active use cases outside of just general tomfoolery
The Boston basher should be in a way lower tier, this is because it is a griefing tool used to steal health packs from your team
bro this intro... if i wanted quality i'd go literally anywhere else
Hi im Jason Taylor McMatt. I think great blue and fish are whiny babies and i cant beleive that they want to delete half of tf2's weapons. Give me back my loose cannon
Well, the concept of bleed on a spy is functional. Together with a scout he is the class who actually have good chances of disengaging from fighting the opponent. Which is a good choice in many situation. So leaving your opponent with bleed when you make a get away can not only potentially deal more damage than regular shots, but also distract from chasing the spy and instead make them chase the health pack. Thoughh the iplementation is jank. The idea definately needs polishing.
Zenith actually managing to somewhat defend the enforcer changes is impressive as fuck
Here 1:51:04 you can see the difference between Blue and Zenith: Zenith tries his hardest to sugarcoat how the Enforcer change Blue: Nah it sucks. Only a deranged person can come up with this
i remember back when i was a child playing tf2, because of dumb luck with random crits, for a long time i thought engineer's base wrench just one shot spies alright, that's the new buff for engineer to counter spies; guaranteed crits against spies /j
the neon annihilator segment drove me absolutely mental good lord
i cant belive they want to delete half of the weapons in tf2... smh unsubcribed
I think shahansha is a decent idea for sniper melees if it was good
i fell asleep while listening to this and i had a dream. in the dream the podcast continued but in person and a fist fight breaks out over the righteous bison.
I want to let bro cook. The idea of a gun that inflicts bleed on hitscan? Kinda funny. Imagine, if you will, how annoying (affectionate) of a spy weapon it would be if this shitty enforcer rework was further buffed by immediately cloaking you if you manage to hit. Or just give the spy a fuckin' scorch shot. It'd be so funny.
I do *get* the desire to make more designs that disrupt but not kill. I think there's an important element to game design where something also has to be fun to fight against and a spy just being able to bleed you from kinda wherever is not fun to fight against, but I GET it. (And obviously the best status effect is Dead but like then everything just becomes sniper wars if you chase that line.)
@@PixelHead777 But then you're promoting a very toxic behavior, that you're making your sole gaming purpose is to annoying other players. Dial this kind of behavior up to 10 and you end up with stream snipers, because they too, made it their sole purpose is to annoy 1 specific player. You can argue these 2 examples are different, but their intent stays the same, the root is the same. We should not open this floodgate my brother, because I doubt we can close it once we let it pass.
off topic tip : I recommend replacing the FaN in mvm with the soda popper or shortstop for similar damage so you don't accidentally mess with your team's heavy by knocking giants out of their effective range
As a scorch shot user, I imagine it's very annoying to fight against. And in part, that is on purpose. I do not play pyro to be fun to play against. If I wanted to play pyro to be fun to play against, I would simply download whatever wild-ass turboskill the det-jumping superbeast pyros have. The scorch shot, sets you on fire. From over there. And it's not good at it, but I sure am doing it.
Why is he hyping the bleed effect like its from Limbus Company.
of course there are a lot of gimmicky weapons in the game, fucking around and finding out *is* team fortress 2.
Did he ever even promote this second channel? I didn't even know about it till UA-cam recommended it to me
The Dead Ringer isn't just annoying to play against, it's also the epitome of a crutch: positioning is a fundamental aspect of playing Spy correctly, and the Dead Ringer removes the need to pay attention to your position on the battlefield. Beginners who learn to play Spy with the Dead Ringer become terrible at playing Spy in general.
1:29:24 My God, he got the only Gas Passer kill on my birthday.
1hp Equalizer vs damaged Demoknight
I killed a conch soldier by slapping him to death from full health with the hot hand, and he was so annoyed by it he disconnected immediately after.
I cannot fucking believe how he said with his whole chest “bleed for 8 seconds”. Like tribalmans was SO bad then the enforcer killed me and when they joked yea the volcano fragment will get bleed damage then it fucking did absolutely ended me. I can’t. I cannot with this damn video
The sad thing is as of date, Grouch's server is completely empty, so I doubt he is still working on these updates. It shows the community has tons of ideas, but never commit to it, so they just end up half-baked. The 1 time Valve listened to the community, they nerf the Ambi out of existence because people cherry-picked their 1 incident where they got sniped by an Ambi across the map. All this is why Valve should never let the community touch the weapons.
I like how his reason for the volcano fragment to bleed, is because it has sharpened in the name. Yet the blade is quite clearly going to cauterize the wound, preventing it from bleeding.
I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on Jake Jakers’ weapon rebalances. He also did a reaction to this video and sources it for some of his rebalances.
I think some of the commentary misses the point of some of the changes. Doubling the ammo of the brass beast will make it more potent in what it already is good at, it is not meant to remove its weaknesses. It lets it retain an identity. Not to say there isnt valid criticism many other places
Bleed fortress 2
I can already tell on how many times I'd say skill issue of these ☠️💀
The scorch shot phlog combo is nasty (it’s my main pyro loadout)
at 20:20 I took offence

Hey chuckle, nuts you can’t have any more nuts

The neon annihilator bit genuinely pissed me off with how dense this motherfucker was being I'm ngl
