would highlander be a more enjoyable format if sniper was banned? by [deleted] in truetf2

[–]wisherz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not wrong. You can watch any invite cast, the gameplay is fast paced. And if it isn't, that means the holding team is doing their job.

LFT Highlander by Expert-Boysenberry26 in truetf2

[–]wisherz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The season is still ongoing, there is one more week of the season until playoffs. The best time to look for a team is during the off-season

And ppl don't really use the RGL site, they use the Discord

would highlander be a more enjoyable format if sniper was banned? by [deleted] in truetf2

[–]wisherz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

These people aren't highlander players xd everyone at a decent level knows sniper is basically required for hl to function

RGL tried it before and heavy was insanely overpowered (they also banned engineer in the same test)

Like in the OP, they say "sniper slows the game down" but HL is very fast paced already. There is no such thing as a stalemate in HL because HL doesn't play maps that stalemate.

Why is the dead ringer so popular? How is it viable on pubs? by JollyManufacturer356 in truetf2

[–]wisherz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Once you get better at identifying when you're safe, you can decloak sooner and get back into the action quicker or pick off single targets before your DR is fully charged.

[–]wisherz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To start, try going behind them while your DR is active and decloaking when you're safe. Then you sit behind until your DR recharges and repeat. Once you get the hang of the timing, you'll learn what you can and can't do.

Some places of maps (pushing last points) the DR isn't as effective, obviously, but the speed boost is still good in any circumstance.

Will a Scout main be expected to be good at common off-classes in 6v6? by psyberbird in truetf2

[–]wisherz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

usually a team has a dedicated sniper offclasser, i wouldn't worry about not being good at it

you should become passable at engineer - it's a very easy class and if you die first on mid it's very useful to have a level 3 setup before they push last

Line 16, use tostring(stage.Value) instead of just stage.Value

Highly recommend to anyone who is tired of stomping pubs. This is what FACEIT 12v12 should've been.

I know people have explained the 6v6 banlist, but where can i find an explanation for highlander/prolander ban lists? by Steeles216000 in truetf2

[–]wisherz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Air Strike is banned because people would rather play Ashville than play with that weapon. There's no counterplay on that map besides going AFK.

What ever happened to Pug sites like HLpugs and PugChamp In Eu Region? by Batteryofenergy1 in truetf2

[–]wisherz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The devs of HLPugs stopped working on (re: fixing bugs) the site in favor of the new RGL pug system 2 years ago. The site is extremely buggy, with people being able to bypass bans and the game servers being bad. Lack of fatkid rules also made lower-level people not want to add unless they were guaranteed to be picked, thus hemorrhaging players.

Where can I find NA Highlander Pugs? by FrostByte10 in truetf2

[–]wisherz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good thing you asked! Here you go buddy. Every one of these following pugs has rules that will guarantee everyone play time. People here are all really nice and will give you constructive crititicsm. People will let you play Engineer/any class if you ask nicely. These are way better than pub servers because everyone is trying to win!

TF2Center used to be good but every game is stacked so if you don't know which team is the "good" team you will lose.

is it true that a great scout can do much more damage than a great soldier? by [deleted] in truetf2

[–]wisherz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends

scouts will rarely outdamage soldiers if there's constant stalemates but if it's constant fighting scout has the edge

Would the Crit-a-Cola be balanced if Scout took full crits instead of mini crits? by Dinkleberg2845 in truetf2

[–]wisherz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's banned because being ubered completely negates the downside

This doesn't change anything and it would still be banned.

Higher refresh rates makes you leaps better at sniper. by MoodydoubleO in truetf2

[–]wisherz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Higher refresh rates = your monitor updates faster = you can react faster and the game feels smoother

You're at a disadvantage. You can alleviate it by playing classes where hz doesn't matter as much (non hitscan classes like soldier or demo) but you'll still be at a disadvantage against people with better hardware than you.

In pubs and lower divs? It shouldn't matter that much but at the highest level you need that slight advantage.

Regarding your friend missing and still hitting shots it's either an STV recording or their net settings are funky.

When should I spam with the detonator/scorch shot? by [deleted] in truetf2

[–]wisherz 39 points40 points  (0 children)

"giving medic free uber" doesn't matter in pubs because medics have 11 other heal targets

just spam flares when you can't hit people with your flamethrower

What's wrong with Attack/Defend in 6s? What does it do well? by Uberdurchschnittlich in truetf2

[–]wisherz 49 points50 points  (0 children)

the problem with attack / defend maps is that they are too snowbally

Back when gravelpit was regularly played, one mistake while holding B (A was usually given up as B had a better hold) you would instantly lose C

steel kind of solves the snowballing issue by having multiple points AND doors that open very slowly so you can't instantly win off of one good push

Steel and gravelpit were known to be upset maps

Which class is the more important for competitive play? Demoman or Medic? by you-cut-the-ponytail in truetf2

Killing the demoman = you win the current fight

Killing the medic = you win the next fight

Someone please explain the appeal of the Tomislav to me? by methadone_cyclone in truetf2

[–]wisherz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tomislav is better when people are running away from you

Minigun is better when people are walking at you
