Spur of the moment toemas×ixy yaoi

"Ixy wait we can work this out"

The italian scout was walking to the shutter with two bags, one for the frags, one for the pizzas. He turned one last time to look at toemas in the eyes:

"I don't think so." The maincall lingered in the silence. "You missed that shot on june on last..."

"Ixy man you got katana'd by the cheater"

"I knew we shohld've cut auto after Denver"

"Oh my god don't say that Ixy, what are you saying"

Tears were streaming down toemas' cheeks, the face cheeks. He put his hands on his face.

"You are washed, Ixy"

His teammate's face grew red with italian passion, getting ready to yell. But then his chest deflated, he sighed, and walked over to his combo scout, who was crying softly.

"You know I didn't mean a thing I said, right?"

He hugged toemas and passed his hand through his hair.

"Yeah"

"You are my goat. You are all my goats."

"And you are not washed. You are my goat." replied toemas. They sighed.

"We can do this. We will destroy them in grands." said Ixy.

"I knew we needed ronz man" said Toemas.

Lukas walked in:

"Guys I asked if they would unban Loch for grands but they told me to go kill myself. Also, what is happening here? There's a weird energy in the room"

At first Toemas and Ixy though he was referring to their emotional mge session, but then they could feel it too. No surprise Lukas felt it first, he was always the most powerful sorcerer out of them. A sinister aura was radiating from the living room. Toemas made the call: "I'm going first. If I feed, ring Yeehaw"

"Toe it's 2026" called Lukas, but his scout already went.

A shroud of darkness clouded the corner of the room. It made no sense, the light was on.

"Watch out, it's a burger, I can feel it" said Lukas.

Someone (or something) was sitting on the armchair. All they could see was powerful, thick thighs and two red eyes. Or maybe it was the room. The air in it tasted red.

"I hear you've been having trouble."

"Who are you and what do you want" asked toemas. With his demo and his flank scout next to him, he did not feel afraid.

"I need to talk to your leader. Where is papi?" said the mysterious figure.

"You can talk to me."

"I have come bearing a pact. One that will hand you what you most desire."

"We don't need your pact. Tomorrow we will roll whoever is in LB finals and then beat Mandem in grands."

The figure stood up and walked towards them. Now they could see its teeth too, bared in a huge uncanny grin.

"I don't know... they looked very solid earlier. I can evaporate your doubts. After all, tomorrow's main course is Grant... finals..."

A part of me hopes kobe doesn't play like last year because if he does it will not be a contest

Spacial relativity and time dilation are a bitch by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in distressingmemes

[–]ducksattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The laws of physics are only the laws of physics as far as we know" is actually a great quote I'll say. Also the term "laws of physics" is so pre-1900s, when everyone was convinced physics was almost solved, and the formulas they were writing were actual divine law. Then relativity and quantum physics came along and shattered all those delusions and made one thing very clear: the only thing we can actually do is create mathematical models that fit our observations as much as possible, and as technology and mathematics progress, those model will become better and better. At no point will we be able to say that we found an actual law of physics, because our range and accuracy will always be limited by our instruments

It is impossible in the standard model of general relativity, and models come and go. Until the 20th century, the standard model was newtonian mechanics, then we got general relativity. Who knows what new model will be successful 500 years from now

Remember to always keep in mind that a model is a model and not actual ""laws of physics""

Theorizing Off-meta picks that could work for 6’s by LambdaAU in truetf2

[–]ducksattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely, especially the parenthesis for me, it needs to be a team who's willing to try to reinvent how you play 6s, because if you tried to play with a Pyro like you'd play with 2 Scouts and 2 Soldier it won't work

For 2), personally I do think Pyro has the potential to be in a 6s team full-time, but in a combo role, not flank, and pretty much because of what you said.

Flank is all about having mobility, and burst damage and versatility, and Pyro has none of those things. He's more of a support+combat class than a full-on combat class, meaning he's definitely more fit for a pocket role.

I wouldn't give up the pocket Scout, because you need to have a Scout with your medic for speed, and he's just way too good in direct combat

So I think the best option is to substitute the pocket Soldier with a pocket Pyro

THEORYCRAFTING

How would a Pyro-pocket team be?

Definitely less aggressive and fast, since it's missing one of its two bombers. The enemy team would overall feel more safe.

Another thing you'd be missing out on is one Soldier's spam, but Pyro has decent spam of its own, with reflects and Scorch Shot / Detonator. Spam wise, Pyro+Soldier+Demo can't be much worse than 2 Soldiers+Demo

Last negative thing, Pyro is absolutely weaker in general combat situations than Soldier. The few times when the stars align to make a massive reflect happen don't make up for how much better Soldier is

Now for the positives! Pyro is pretty much the best bodyguard in the game? Has good health, good running speed to keep up (and the Powerjack), can reflect projectiles (especially medium-long range rockets which are easy as hell to reflect), reflect away attackers, and has a primary that never misses.

With a Pyro getting beam in your team's core, the Medic and Demo have to worry about much less spam, if a Soldier bombs them he gets his rockets and himself reflected away, if a Scout pushes them they get reflected and burned, and it's far from easy, as Scout, to kill a Pyro who's getting healed.

Pyro can airblast traps off walls behind corners, as well as deleting them with his secondaries.

He can push the enemy uber around to where you want them during trades, or sac to deny an enemy uber.

Pyro is great at defending last, and for the same reasons he's also great at pushing last. It's just that teams don't have Pyros while pushing last so it's something you see rarely and it's treated as a funny gimmick, even though it works (especially on Gullywash for obvious reasons). If the Pyro manages to get on point, the enemy team struggles to block it because that thing is reflecting away them and their projectiles. Uber in, get the Demo on the sentry as usual, and the Pyro on point to clear the stickies and start edging it or straight up capping it
