Why does Valve keep heavies powerful as much as they can? Because they are central to the game in a way no other class is (besides medic). They're sort of the tank class. Valve does what they have to do to get people to play heavy--make it powerful, because it's not interesting enough to play by default. That's why medic and heavy got the first class updates.

Err...no? Heavy is not that central to the game. Medic obviously is central to the game. Soldier I would list as central (if you listen to the designer commentary, every single map is designed with rocket jump height in mind, and their knockback is a big deal, and a lot of HPs are designed with rocket clip size in mind). Engineer is central to the game (above a certain number of people, engies could have teleporters and nothing else and still be worth using, and despite the high-pop focus of the class, they're still sometimes used in 6v6 on defence. Not to mention an entire class has a weapon that only works on engies). And maybe Demo is central to the game (even ignoring how nuts they are in 6v6, all kinds of stuff was added to the game just to handle stickies. Bullets kill them and airblast knocks them away. Oh, and they're "the blindfire class").

Heavy/Scout/Sniper are the next tier down. "They kill things, and they have the most range/HP/mobility." With Sniper probably the class out of those three that the most stuff is designed around (like class HP and maps). The game still works fine without them, though; if one of them were removed from the game, something else would fill the niche (like without Sniper, Demo becomes the go-to long-range class).

I'm a Castlevania superfan! Ask me anything!

I was wondering if anyone had extra summer coolers they were looking to part with? I haven't found any for myself yet. I don't know if anything I have is worth it, but here's what I got:

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

I'll trade my one for a Series 20 crate I guess.

Don't know if this was posted yet but Fatman ( Heavy) now has a trailer on final combat.

uhm, OK. I'm not quite sure how trading works though, I haven't actually done it yet.

Are you a premium user yet? If not, you can't give anything, which makes trading with you undesirable.

Ganon, did you seriously get three Mantreads as random drops? Wow

If you want, I'll give you a summer cooler + multiple items from the second page of my backpack for Mantreads.

Let me know if you're interested.

'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Yeah. Why are they hard to get or something?

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Well, they're difficult to craft, as are all the newest items. Just surprised you got three as random drops, since there are so many items that drop now.

--
Ginhyun
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Oh, I had gotten so many I thought they were common drops or something. And sure I'll trade Mantreads.

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Alright, just pick out what you want from the second page of my backpack, then.

Ginhyun

Brass Beast

...You have a backburner. Did you mean the degreaser?

--
Ginhyun
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

ugh, yeah I meant Degreaser..

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Also, you don't want the GRU?

I'll give you:
Degreaser
Brass Beast
Amputator
Candy Cane
The Jag
Summer Cooler (if you still want one)

I'll throw in a GRU if you want one.

--
Ginhyun
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

OK, yeah that with the Cooler and GRU sounds good

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Alright, I sent you a friend request. If you're free, just hop on TF2 for a bit and I'll send you a trade request.

so supposedly Drunken F00l got hired by Valve

kind of funny

But only kinda

It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

Wow, I'm utterly terrible with Soldier. Can't hit a thing with him

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

I know a lot of people recommended soldier for beginners but I was never able to really do well with him

--

Man, if Drunken F00L got hired for Valve, that would be stupid. The dude has already shown that he's untrustworthy. How do you trust him to not do something in his own favor again with employee-only information?

are you aiming at people's bodies, or at their feet? You're supposed to aim at their feet so that the explosion hurts them if it hits the ground.

Because he's an employee and you're paying him?

No one would risk getting fired from a job like that.

Yeah, for soldier, you have to aim for their feet, that's just how you do damage. Rockets are easy to dodge and hard to aim. Also, keep in mind that most weapons have what is called "damage fall-off", meaning, the farther the projectile/bullet travels, the less damage it does. It keeps the game exciting. Rockets are affected greatly by the fall-off, being far can mean up to like 50% less damage, not to mention even less chance of hitting their bodies.

So, being gutsy and charging in can be extremely effective for the soldier. Fitting, for his personality =]

Who did you guys scrim against? How did it go?

We scrimmed against clan mccart on freight, we won 10-2.

So I can't play tf2 right now unless everyone in the server uses stock items, else I crash.
