Yes, Ankle Dayne did actually get Nathan Vetterlain to voice scout. Winglet got Nathan on one of his videos too. Nathan seems to be the most involved with the tf2 community.
Thats what I heard and that's really awesome
@@theduckgoesmoo And his (former) personal friend iDubbz.
Oh how the turns table
He’s also got a UA-cam channel where he plays tf2. He’s a heavy main lol
With the stalemate argument, the Ubercharge was specifically made to break stalemates
Which makes the addition of Random Crits even more confusing.
They already added a mechanic that is specifically designed to break stalemates, but does this by skilled medic players and good team coordination instead of RNG bullshit...
5:20 Oh, you silly positive man! This all results in people quitting the server, 90% of the times.
I never even know when it happens
12:08 that is iDubbzz. He’s is (or was idk) a pretty big UA-camr who Uncle Dane is personally friends with.
Fairly certain he guested on one of Danes mixtapes
you should react to uncle dane's "TF2 Animated Shorts: Recap" its a really funny parody of TF2 videos recapping the story!
HELL YEA
YES
YES PLEASE
Lol, I wanted to say that but I wanted him to react to some serious type before the funni things
Indeed
"they want people to struggle and get better" random crits do the oposite, it's a random chance to do 3x damage, that changes by how much damage you did but is always there, it invalidates skill and rewards spam
This is the only reason i can beat soldiers with quickfix pocket medics
I did not know it wasn't random
@@theduckgoesmoo no they ARE random, but you can get higher chances by doing more damage, even if you have done 0 damage you can still get a random crit, so you have no real way to predict when one is coming, thats why it encourages spam, since every shot has a chance of being a crit, the more you shoot the more chances you get
@@Edo_Ginting i mean, you can charge a headshot, airblast the rockets, backstab the medic, focus the medic, really, the quick fix wasnt made for pockets, it's for quickly fixing up your team
@@josep754 Do they not allow the quick-fix medic to explosively fly along with his heal target now? That update was the last time i played medic so enlighten me on that
a bit of clarification, random crits have a base chance of happening, but that can be boosted by dealing damage, so, you can basically do nothing and still get rewarded with 3x damage, or do a 10k and dont get any crits at all, melee also has higher base chance, which is why memes like "pan always crits" "ubersaw always crits" were born. And i need to mention, crit hacks exist, some groups figured out how to trigger them more often on primaries/secondaries and even getting to 100% crit rate on melee, which makes it impossible to even get close to them. Some bots use crit hacks too, mostly on melee, as far as i know there are sniper bots that switch to melee when you use vaccinator bullet resistance uber, and then they proceed to deal 195, most likely killing you.
Ohhhhhhhh thank you for the information
As a person that plays tf2 atleast 4 hours a day, everyday random crits just don't feel good to receive or to throw. I'm a hybridknight main so I'm almost always in range to get random crit while getting almost none myself, and the ones I do get (with pipes) never feel good, it doesn't feel like something you deserve, it takes the practice you need to get good at aiming pipes and throws it out the window cause why practice everyday to feel fufilled when you double pipe every scout you come across when you just can spam a payload and get 3 kills by just doing that, what's the point of learning to trimp/pipe jump to get into melee/close range to just get random crit by a gibusvision sniper instead of charging up a sticky.
It's always frustrating, and never rewarding imo
If someone likes random crits, Spy is probably their least played class. It isn't until you play Spy that you truly start to realize just how bullshit random crits are
yea back then TF2 was very different i remember playing it on the Xbox when i was a kid back on the Old Orange box
Other things you could not do was upgrade your dispenser (and teleporter if i remember) only your sentry and Pyro could not Air blast which today is one of his best abilities being able to deflect projectiles and extinguish teammates. ohh and Engineer building placement and collision was really bugged making it extremely easy to glitch yourself out of the map was pretty fun building teleporters that went to secret rooms and having a party
you played the Orange Box on Xbox too?
Same lol, except I was on tf2 ps3, console tf2 really is a time capsule, was a very different time compared to modern tf2
The fact people can still buy this
@@deathtrooperbonzai4931 well xbox 360 i mean
@@theduckgoesmoo buy TF2? its free!
6:50 "Wow that's too many Spies" Just seems like the average Casual game to me.
8:10 "Are random crits in comp?" Much like how 90% of all unlockable weapons are banned, no, they're not in comp.
9:22 "Did he get the voice actor for Scout to say these lines?" Yes, he's the most active and involved official VA in the TF2 community.
12:56 "What are the tutorials?" Bad. Worse than a mobile game's.
22:29 "But can't they get crits?" No, robots actually can't get random crits, they can only crit you if they're set to be a crit-boosted robot or charged by a Kritz Medic bot.
Wait 90% of the weapons are banned?
@@theduckgoesmoo Depending on the competitive environment (Like which comp server you decide to join) Some have very few weapons banned and some have most weapons banned (Including a lot of taunts)
a good example is the Rainblower and Pyrovision Goggles (Or any item enabling pyroland) as some props are actually invisible or easier to see through in pyroland.
Another one is the Solem Vow as if one medic runs it, the other is forced to as well which makes for boring gameplay, same with the Vita-Saw because if one medic runs it and the other doesnt, that medic has a instant advantage.
Or the base jumper as it made it extremely unfun to play against soldier (It was nerfed to only let you deploy once per jump because you use to be able to basically spam deploy and make yourself a nearly unhittable target)
@@theduckgoesmoo Depends on season and in which league you play
I wonder how he'll see random crits by the end of this!
This video is genuinely very informative and impressive.
Also, I'm too deep in to this gimmick.
I think this is video/day 6?
Regardless, again. I'm too deep in to stop now.
For anyone reading, please check out Hollow Knight. It's so pretty, and frankly a bit addicting.
Today, I'll also suggest Warframe to anyone that sees this!
Despite how much I adore it, I'll just put it out there-
Warframe sucks your life away.
But it's gorgeous, gameplay has a surprising amount of options between roughly 536 weapons, and a fair few Warframes themselves!
Not to mention the various fashion options you get access to over time, companions, pets, and so on, from MOA units, Sentinels, Kavats (big cats), and a metric fuckton of dogs. Like, oh my god there are so many Kubrow-esque companions.
I also wanna say
Don't worry about not having damage numbers memorized.
That's something you'll learn naturally over time.
Also-
If you stream TF2? Turn off chat and voice chat.
Not worth the risk of people saying some goofy, unacceptable shit mid-stream.
I honestly think only ranged crits should be removed. While I have been annoyed by crit rockets and pipes, I always have fun in melee fights. Melee is often a last ditch attempt to win a fight when no options remain and anything can happen. I like the chaos of it once it gets to that point. Plus, melee crits happen so much more often than ranged crits that it makes up a large portion of its average damage and removing them would also require all "no random crit" melees to be rebalanced.
I can't think of a single melee weapon that would be overpowered because of removing random crits.
Gunslinger engies, Demoknights, Market Gardeners, Pyro sharks, Bushwacka, any kind of knives (Facestab comes to mind)
@@Edo_Ginting none of these would be op just because other weapons can't random crit😂. Try playing on servers without random crits, and you'll see that they remain the same, the only difference being you don't feel crippling fear when you're trapped with a medic with their ubersaw out
The only class that shouldn't be able to crits with his melee is sniper. Because a long range class isn't supposed to kill 7 out of 9 class with one hit at close range.
@@ChineseMusicianGamer Is the gunslinger glitch fixed?
The "beating every class as engi" video is SO GOOD and very informative. as well as "teleport etiquette" and "you and your engineer"
Indeed, though let's not forget Meet the Dispenser
12:07 That was iDubbbz, pretty famous Non-TF2ber who is actually pretty good friends with Uncle Dane.
8:02 He's letting go on heads
As someone that plays comp medic, knowing damage numbers is really important so random Crits makes being a medic so difficult in casual
23:35 And that will still happen. Remember that you're playing against other people, struggle is inevitable when you come across someone who is better at the game than you. Random crits are directly antithetical to that.
23:55 And you are one of the _only_ people who don't. Most people get very angry when they get random critted, to the point that some people will _apologize_ for their own random crits.
24:15 That's a neat coincidence!
Medic “always gets crits” because he has an easy way to get points by healing
TF2 A Complete History Of The Pyro" By After Breakfast with SquimJim.
Random crits in TF2 or are like items in Mario Kart. Are they fair? No! Are they fun? Yes! They don't really make me mad either because when I'm killed by them I know there isn't much I can do to counter them. If anything crits give me an excuse for loosing fights. I'm not still a bad player after 3k hours, I lost cause of those dang random crits!
This is a very good way to put it!
Stopwatch is a competitive rule were if both teams capture the same number of points the team that did so faster wins. It's pretty fun and i agree that valve should bring it back to casual.
Overwatch has a similar thing i believe
Can u watch mr paladin how a spy thinks? He is a spy main lol
Eyup, though for mr. Paladin i love his "How to Detect Spys" and "An Array of talents" videos more personally.
Random crits for weapons are bad because they reward you to to run against a group of 9 people and teach you "if you do it again you might get a kill again, you don't need to get better in the game"
As someone whos first game of tf2, was pl_frontier, it feels odd trying to explain it.
Fun fact, the ps3 and xbox 360 versions of tf2 are fully vanilla, they only had a few bug patches and was never updated again, it's a time capsule from 2007 tf2
Also, yeah, you should totally react to how to fight every class as engineer, it's not a series, just a single video
I believe either changing them to random mini crits instead of regular crits or a toggle system before queue
Nice to see more uncle dane reaction videos
I really like when soldiers get a random crit and i just reflect back at them while they think where has their life gone wrong
Imagine just shooting a rocket at a group and it's a random crit, all of a sudden a pryo comes up and reflects it back to you, you try to run but your pocket medic is right behind you and get hits causing everyone around you to die leaving the engie alone

Laughs in scotsman headtaker
As someone who's been playing TF2 since roughly a year after it launched, it was definitely a _very_ different game back then. Community servers were much more popular back then, thanks to casual not being a thing. There was quickplay, but it didn't have the strict divide between official and community servers that we have now (no leveling system, ad-hoc connections were allowed on all servers, quickplay could connect you to eligible community servers, etc). If you got matched onto a server you liked, you could favorite it and come back to it at any time. Becoming a regular player of certain servers was not uncommon. The whole system encouraged the use of the server browser, and eventually exploring what else there was out there to see, which encouraged people to get more creative and experimental with the maps and content they made, because there was a chance people would see it.
I miss the days when there were tons of "dick around" maps with no objective other than to have fun. It was always a treat to explore someone's passion project where they included a bunch of easter eggs for no other reason than that they could, or made something completely wacky and disconnected from the game's setting, like a map where the mercs are all the size of mice and they're fighting in a child's bedroom. For all that the game's lore has gotten sillier over the years, it feels like that came at the cost of the fun and silliness of the actual gameplay.
Funkes "death of an art style" is good
10:40 like the developer said, random crits were essentially designed as a "highlight" mechanic - make a moment where you're doing well even better and more memorable by letting you go just a lil' bit farther...at the cost of your opponent who just got randomly crit. Now, debatably, you were already on a roll so how bad could it be if you kill one/two more people?
Imo random crits are just proof that TF2 was never meant to be reduced to numbers and played "professionally." Does that justify crits? Probably not, but removing crits would definitely be a step *away* from a more casual environment.
Alternatively, any game where you can "win" or "lose", players tend to think winning = fun and losing =\= not fun. Given the nature of TF2 and the concept of "good sportsmanship," you're supposed to enjoy the moment more than the victory screen, which I agree with! Being a spy in a cardboard box is **far** more entertaining than pushing a cart will ever be
Go and take a look at Uncle Dane's "Dealing with Spies" video
Random crits are disabled in Competitive (if I'm correct).
If I see another brand new gibus medic run at me with the uber saw expecting a crit ill find you and slap you personally
On the gaming channel.
You should totally play undertale on it. It’s an amazing game.
All i will say about the game is there are 3 branches to play it
Pacifist - what i recommend to play first. Never fight anything
Neutral - Fight things sometimes, spare things sometimes
Genocide - Kill everything.
Oh god I don't think i could beat it judging by one of the fights I've seen
@@theduckgoesmoo That one is only a specific route, so it’s one of the few optional fights.
8:10 no random crits aren’t in both the ingame “Valve Comp” as most call it or in the community league comps like RGL (NA) and ETF2L (EU). This is to keep it skill based for both teams and to keep it fair. If rc’s were in comp, just one rocket or pipe could complete turn the tides of the game, giving an unfair advantage to help the losing team or help the winning team win harder. In casual, this doesn’t really matter due to the amount of players in the lobby (casual 12v12 compared to 6s’ 6v6 or Highlander’s 9v9), and the fact that most people don’t really play to win in casual and just play to have fun.
Edit: also about your statements about comp being bad, you’re not completely wrong. The ingame comp (Valve comp) is very bad. It’s hacker infested, has extremely long queues, and hasn’t been updated since it’s launch. 3rd party community comp leagues are very much so alive and great competitive leagues. The two most popular leagues (RGL and ETF2L) both have thousands of current players and hundreds, maybe even thousands of teams.
Yeah random crits and random spread need to go, it feels awfull to die to one and honesty getting kill with those rarely feels rewarding for me
8:04 how his he clicking on heads ?
Hummmmm........
With the left button of his mouse. DUH
uncle dane also has a really good video where he calculates how big all maps in tf2 are
Currently for me I absolutely hate random crits because my enemies almost always get one in the middle of the fight killing me instantly. But for some reason whenever I get a random crit either they don't die or barely take any damage or I beef the shot.
Crits ---change>>> Mini-Crits
"You can't have *No random critical hits* on weapon if you don't have random critical hits in game"
Ooooorrrr just remove them for most of the weapons...
Beating each class as engie is just one(lengthy) video, also if you want to see more hard reads check out Soundsmith's Reading Rainbow videos.
As some people here already said you should check out uncle danes video
TF2 animated shorts: recap!
Comp isn't exactly bad, it's just that valve servers tend to be pretty empty for comp. There's still a large chunk of the player base that plays comp, but it's usually on community servers; they can have their own rules and modes (like banning certain weapons or highlander 9v9 instead of 6v6)
Also, I've always hated random crits lol. There is no reason to keep them other than "sometimes they make le funny moments". In TF2's current state, random crits are dumb as fuck lol.
"large" my great aunt fanny
Meh, only around 10% of tf2s playerbase is competetive, tf2 is a casual game at heart, and I wouldnt change that for the world since we'd probably lose alot of fun weapons.
Crits on the other hand, they are just a cheap that offer nothing but negatives, even to the casual experience, only on silly laid back servers do I see them as being funny like on Hightower.
@@eurobeatintensifies5840 It kinda also depends on what you mean by competitive. I would say TF2 by nature is competitive, thats why it has such a strong, long-lasting community. I mean, it is a descendant of Quake. You can put thousands of hours into a class and have it mean something. It's incredibly skill-based. However, over the years the developers added all these cosmetics and goofy thing that made it crazy, so it gives a appearance of being "casual". But I would say that's a good thing, because it gives charm and personality.
"Lqrge chunk" lol. Maybe at best 5% of players play comp. People come to TF2 to play 12v12 chaotic battles, not 6v6 snorefests thst have 90% of diversified arsenal banned.
Random Crits are _____?
A. Fair and Balance
B. Good
C. Pootis
D. Shit
Pootis
@@theduckgoesmoo well yes, but actually no.
The problem is there is no option to join casual servers with random crits disbabled
They are so unbalanced that soundsmith uses a bind to say in the chat that random crits are bs and he didn't deserve the kill and even uses the kill bind to kill himself
What if (now hear me out here) we changed random crits, to random mini crits
honestly liberty launcher uses random crits for about half its damage output.
and before you get angry, that's a reason to buff the shiggy swag not keep random crits
League of Legends appears, probably one of the most popular free to play games in the world for several years: is this Hearthstone? Lol
Although maybe something you could look into, theres a mountain of content there in characters, lore, gameplay ect could be another thing to branch into.
Sometimes random crits are helpful sometimes they SUCK!
I can do with or without random crits. I'm just here to have fun. I'm usually in the grey area between messing around and playing the objective. Of course, I do try to read the room and react accordingly the rest of players are on one end of the spectrum. Not having random crits wouldn't change any of that, so I'm fine with it going away.
It was prob the actual scout actor cuz he has a UA-cam channel called chilliofdestony
I think this was an interesting video and I realy liked seeing your perspective and reactions to Uncle Dane’s video. My only gripe is that I found it hard to completely focus on what you were saying while the video in the background kept playing. Otherwise, this was a good video.
23:37 I think the thought I get from dying to someone who is better than me is not because I got killed by a random crit but because they were just better at the game than me overall and that thought is what makes me wanna play better so the next encounter I get with them I can come out on top
I like dying because of random crits because then I can blame the rng instead of my skill level, and don't have to face the truth
I'd recommend checking out Skymin's video on why Medic is loved while Mercy is hated
In my opinion Most melee's sould keep random crits but not rocket's or bullets etc. (THE CABER SOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET RANDOM CRITS
13:37 Is this technically rocket science?
That's idubbs a funny utube man
If you ask me.I hate random crit from all my heart. It not make a game last long at all. It like for a new player get one is "yay i dont know what it is but yay" but if you got kill by it "why am i dead. how" so it didnt help at all. If you play for longer got alot of skill when you get it " ... " that all my skill in this game is useless. If got kill by it "wow my skill and exp for play good is just useless" and i didnt play pub at all bcoz of that. Only kind of ppl that ok with it is someone who play by dont care at all win lose whatever just play. But when you try to win at all and it got rob by a random crit that have so much bad feeling.
You need to watch more uncle dane
it is a percentage it is 300% the damage you would deal
11:55 that's idubbz
crit
yah
Payday 2 from the duck would be great
Well, the only good thing about random crits is that they are cool, but that´s it, is really pity to see medics and snipers switch quickly to their melees because one time they instakill someone with a crit. Besides, tf2 is a kinda old game, there are players who are become really good and don´t need this kind of thing, that just hinders their experience. On a more personal level, i really despise random crits, mostly because i usually play demoknight and there are times that half of my deaths are just because of random crits, i understand that low experience players usually die a lot and don´t care if some of their deaths are by random crits, but that´s not all the cases.
(btw, any error on the text is because i usually don't speak english)
12:03 did he just ask...who that was
Yeah who is that?
what about also adding anti random crit which is that when a crit happens there is a 50% chance it will deal 3x less damage then more.
Look up random damage spread
YOu shold do more of Danes videos, he has allot of engie videos which are great, even if you don't paly engie you should learn everything you can.
I feel there should be class specific crits.
i think TF2 should keep random crits BUT either
A: keep it a very low chance overall so when they do happen, their very rare and make for insane moments for everyone.
B: keep it a low chance but slightly increased chance for newer players up to a certain rank/level
I think that you should react to one of Funke's videos, Like Tf2's learning curve, Tf2 Death of an Art Style or Tf2: State of Specialists
Very informative and entertaining videos
Or even Tf2's Diverse Complexities
And I insist that you should start with Tf2's Learning Curve before the other ones
Shounic tried to participate in this case, by hosting a server with a "fixed" random crits
The point it's if instead of removing or letting it stay, why not "fix" it? Do some changes to be more ""fair""

*Make everything crit all the time*

imagine you're heavy pushing the cart with a medic about to uber when suddenly you and the medic die from a crit sticky from a spamming demoman, the aggravation is enough to piss me off
sure when you're just screwing around its fine but when you're trying to play a bit more seriously on payload or control point maps its makes all the difference
just play heavy and realize how many times you die over scouts just running at you with their stupid bats out and just critting you to death, then you will realize how stupid rng can be
I have come to hate getting crits as well cause I want to beat them with my skill not because of a stupid mechanic
Like I said maybe they can do what call of duty used to do with hard-core mode
@@theduckgoesmoo I don't play CoD anymore, you can die to easily from just a couple shots

You should react to the comics
Soon!
Ok now I’m excited
Personally this my take, tf2 isn't an jrpg. Tf2 is pretty much the only fps game that has random crits, but why? To make the game more random? Ecxuse me, but I've played battlefield and if anything is more random than a scout one shotting a soldier, it's a tank flying through the air and hitting a helicopter with a canister shell. Difference? The scout does it while playing the game normally, while the tank crew specifically had to plan for this, be it with ungodly amounts of c4 or shooting randomly in some direction. Battlefield feels so much more random, because of the amount of player choices it gives.
Tf2 isn't a random game, it's a game with linear paths to specific objectives. Random crits doesn't make more random, it's just more annoying. If you need to rely on random crits to even the odds, I don't think you should even care about doing well. Because at that point your just gambling to do well.
Maybe react to the series Half Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware. It's honestly very funny and you don't need to know anything about Half Life to understand it.
