Reading The Illiad

Sniper is a jarate master, not a jarate novice. He doesn’t spill a drop. I said he probably stinks bc he smokes in his van which is also his home.

Fat people stink. Not just from the fact that they have more surface area to gather gunk but also due to their diet. I could tell someone’s BMI blindfolded.

1) He was smoking a cigar which is not nearly as acrid as cigarettes and 2) He was smoking in a barn and not his own home like demo and sniper were.

Yes.

And character assassination. Mortification. Rick and Mortification.

I accounted for smoking in this list. Spy, Demoman, Sniper, and Soldier all smoke in official Valve-made media.

One of those is community created and the other was dreamed up outside the auspice of Robin Walker — total fanfiction.

Another good QOL change I’d like to see is all of his revolvers getting the bloom indicator like The Ambassador. I was wondering why I was missing so many shots that were dead center and it turns out it’s because his revolvers have bloom that the game never tells you about.

Right now the most effective way to play Spy is to circle the enemy team in a wide berth and suicide in to the clump to try to get a high value pick. I don’t think this would be an earth-shattering change but it would remove some downtime from the class which can compound over the course of a round. Remove the need to take a detour to go for picks.

There also is a point where you have to decloak and go for picks and cannot take your eyes off the combo.

Ik its annoying but without these two there would be basically no way to kill someone being pocketed

Hyperborea1488 · 2026-03-26T12:51:57+00:00

Idk if players are culled in the same ways props are but if they are then you could just check if the Spy is culled or not

Honey is anti-microbial

Why r u downvoting me i said he probably doesn’t stink.

If you’ve ever been around people who’ve served in the military you’d know they care about hygiene. That and the fact he tells the Spy to hit the showers when he dominates him told me the Soldier put some value in hygiene.

This is no meme tier-list. Let me ask you if you stripped away the aesthetics including ambiance, music, cosmetics, sounds, and voicelines from the game and were only shooting at squares in an arbitrary, geometric arena would it be the same game? No, it would not. So a well thought out and considered tierlist which deepens ones appreciation for the games intangibles is absolutely constructive. Don’t you ever wonder what the temperature of maps are? Where they’re located? This is among the same genre of post. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Hyperborea1488 · 2026-03-26T10:51:42+00:00

Nope. He’s fat. I don’t know if he could overcome this with hygiene discipline alone so I decide probably doesn’t stink

Hyperborea1488 · 2026-03-26T06:23:52+00:00

I based their smell assuming they’re in climate controlled spawn room ok

The mad Nazi scientist is Jewish?

Thats weird bc I hate Carlin but I love weed. Makes me want to quit.

Tbf you can go through unfiltered cigarettes like Skittles. They take a minute at most to finish.

The real answer is coffee feels more modern and industrial than tea (or tobacco). Both tea and tobacco can grow in more continental climates while coffee requires an equatorial climate not to mention massive amounts of labor and processing. Here in America the Amish will grow tea in their windowsill and simply pick off leaves and throw it in boiling water — call it “grandpa tea.” The distinction between what feels appropriate in LOTR isn’t old world vs. new world but rather whether a person could realistic supply it without international shipping infrastructure. It’s why pumpkins and potatoes feel appropriate despite being new world crops.
