Best class(es) to play as?

  • Total voters

Really...? I'll have to give it another shot one of these days. Probably won't play much, but at least the game is still fun. Been watching a chunk of videos on TF2 recently - mostly about stream snipers and cheaters getting destroyed - but I'll try and give it look.

Any suggestions on class? I've heard that the balance is a bit messed up, currently.

the balance situation isn't bad considering past problems but a difference is that when tommy gruvich and dr enforcicle were things, they were usually gone after ~1 year with updates.
now, there are less outright broken loadouts but the problem weapons/combos are made worse by lack of balance changes.

here are current balance issues that are somewhat agreed upon by most players as needing to be addressed:

kunai + dead ringer spy: every pub has at least one fag running kunai and DR meaning you have the never dying spy
wrangler: not super big issue but most people agree something needs to be redone
short circuit: spammable projectile that deletes two of engy's biggest counters for zero skill input. im not a soldier/demofag but the SC is broken
sniper: more people are realizing the fucking problem of sniper and 5k hour sniper players sucking the fun out of everything and also having zero counter
scorch shot: annoying. not game breaking but does way too much for little risk
crusader's crossbow: currently med's best primary no contest. not broken by any means but having a "best in slot" option is always worth scrutinizing

but its fun to purposely piss off sweat lords by doing nothing helpful. The raging from retards are great, might just be the Aus cucktopia servers though because its so small the same retards rage regularly.

The US uncletopia servers are always full and I don't care enough to remember who is who. Either way, there are wayy too many medics with "Estrogen Beam" mediguns and furry PFPs for me to ever decide to go back again.
 
Operation Firmware Frenzy is live until January 4th, if you like playing against robots (not aimbot snipers.) This time there's an optional mission of with some assblasting potential due to there being no money for upgrades at all, and it requiring advanced knowledge of game mechanics.

Total Sniper Death, Short Circuit is only a problem because of infinite spam on payload carts, Scorch is annoying because of movement redirection mechanics as primary fire (see also the fucking coconut gun). Everything else is a non-problem.

Crossbow is.
It should've never been put into the game. Braindead medic try to quickly heal people by using it in close range, but fail EVERY FUCKING TIME because their aim is shit even for range of point fucking blank. I've been killed numerous times only because some fucker decided to press "1" instead of "2" on his shitty keyboard. I wish for all of its users to killbind themselves in sleep. Fuck this weapon.
yeah I'm MATI
 
There are shit loads of custom TF2 weapons, from servers and mods, but only a few manage to stand out and not look out of place in the base game. TF2Classic has some of them like the Pyro's Schythe or the Engi's Jumpad, and Open Fortress actually managed to resolve the Assault Rifle question with their burst-rifle.

TF2 was almost consumed by the "Competitive" Esports bubble that occurred during the mid-2010s with that whole Meet Your Match fiasco of an update trying to force matchmaking into a casual arena shooter. Thankfully the current direction seems to be more geared toward just silly fun, however, there are still those small groups of TFtubers and other cretins who still hound Valve to make the game "balanced" and boring. I have been seeing lots of videos of Zoomers having tons of fun in Half-Life Deathmatch when the game was free, so maybe not all hope is lost.

TF2 would still be getting updates if Meet Your Match didnt happen
 
The scout who you fended off and dominated the entire game with sentries finally getting a revenge kill:

 
I miss the TF2 of 2007 - 2013. Everything after Gun Mettle was terrible and now the game is overrun by filthy troons trying to enforce rules on what words we can and can't say.
