So with crits out: Was the damage from the pyro shotgun always that inconstant? Had it several times like "low damage, low damage, low damage, super damagespike, low damage, dead".
Normally i would say that it was a crit....but now I'm confused.
And it really seems a bit easier too sap sentries. Without one-hit-wrenching it comes down for the engineer to repair the sentry till its gone or hit the spy and probably lose the sentry.
It is also easier to get away after a backstab, but thats not my style.
I also think people start to hate me and my superlong backstabarm.

So with Crits out, has killing the Medic become even more important than it already is?

No more win button is a legitimate concern.

I don't want to buff demomen. I want to *fix* demomen.

I was always under the impression that Demomen are a higher tier class, though. Did taking critical hits somehow make them suck, even though they seemed pretty good even without Criticals?

No, they've sucked since beta, criticals or no.

Get a logitech USB 250. It's not too expensive (aboutr 25-30 bucks) and it's great.
I tried playing around as a sniper today. I'd always heard that a lower mouse sensitivity is better for sniping (in any FPS), but I actually tried increasing it significantly to counter the automatic reduction while scoped. I found it quite a bit easier to go for headshots at medium/short range, and I actually did fairly well overall.
Is there any way I can set a higher sensitivity for playing sniper without creating custom key binds for switching to every class?
Also, teams have seemed noticeably more imbalanced lately. I saw the most lopsided games ever of Hydro this morning, and Gravel Pit tonight. Guess there's just an influx of new players.

That gravelpit match was pretty bad. There was a guy on my team building a sentry and dispenser at our spawn and we were attacking. There was also a medic not charging uber. I thought he was because he started out healing, but I looked back later and he was taunting with 17% charge ._.

I love the server and the people in it...i just wish icy would stop fucking with a great game...Its just about perfect as it was, but looks like hes so intent on finding something wrong with it...
Yes. What he wants is to be able to hide behind walls, launch grenades, and blindly get ricochet kills from people blindly running into them. How that isn't the biggest win button in the history of win buttons puzzles me. But I'm glad they removed them cause noobs would just spam corners with grenades.
I still don't understand why he can't dominate with the current form. He's obviously a really good player. And I've seen really good demoman be one man roadblocks, so I don't understand why he doesn't lead the leader board with it.

"Teknopathetic insists that regular grenades not exploding on impact after the first bounce like they did when TF2 beta was released makes the class useless, mostly because he sucks with sticky bombs."
I used sticky bombs offensively before they were popular (read: necessary to not be a complete free kill), thank you very much.

Demos are fine as they are. As much as I hate being almost completely vulnerable to a good scout, it'd be scary to go back to the way they were in the beta.

Soldiers taking 3 close buck shots in the back then "OH NOES I AM BEING OWNED BY A SCOUT!!!!" *shoots self on floors*----> *win!???*
Scout apologists that keep telling me to actually play the classes before juging them, need to play scout over 5 hours. Tre,brah, im all with you in a match setting they are fucking great mainly because they have lots of space to maneuver without being flanked, but that is outright cancelled in pubs + the use of non-league classes like lots of engies and heavies.
the server is fine, out of all the ones i've played on it's definitely my favorite.

This wasn't done on the NeoGAF server, but I figure I should show everyone anyway: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QpVt0pZRImg

I'm starting to really like playing demo, its a nice change from being a medic the whole game. If I'm medic for a map and it changes, I can't pick another class because no one is there to pick up the slack. It sucks

Gotta agree with Hito. There's been some...questionable...modifications to the servers over the months, but none of em stuck particularly long nor added anything. No crits is not one of those things.
I had the most badass moment ever tonight. I got 4-5 headshots in a row picking off the people near the final point in dustbowl as I was walking alone towards it... until I walk into the line of sight of a sentry to my left at the edge of the crevice and get mowed down.
Good times.

So.... how do you get access to those two reserved slots that are almost never being used?
OK. I think this is gonna be the class makeup for the 6v6 tournament.
Limit of 1 Support class ( Medic or Sniper or Spy)
Limit of 3 Defense class ( Demo Man, Heavy, Engineer)
Limit of 2 Assault Class ( Scout, Soldier, Pyro)
There is no limit to anyone 1 specific class except for the support classes. A team can have 2 scouts, or 3 heavys if they wish. Teams can change classes on the fly during a match, but cannot break the limits. DQ if they do.

Looks almost good, but I'd limit the defensive classes to 1 as well. Or at the very least heavies and engineers for sure and demomen down to 2.
