I have literally never seen anyone complain about the guillotine, and I've got more than 500 kills on my strange one. Who are these weird focus group people Valve are listening to?

Edit: Also 33% increased cloak drain rate on the YER. Wth Valve, it was bad enough as it was.

Really wish they'd fix the Caber and BFB(seriously for this one all they'd have to do to fix it would be to either remove that "lose speed when taking damage" trait, or remove the reduced base speed trait, having both makes it loving useless)

Did the Neon Annihilator ever break when it scored a crit? I don't think it did.

A lot of the nerfs are baffling but there's quality of life stuff like "the bottles break again and the Sandvich gets the bite taken out of it again" that I'm happy for. I'm looking forward to tons of glitches that go unfixed for 6 months though!

Pyro Reserve Shooter no longer minicrits airblasted enemies, but minicrits enemies knocked around by the Thermal Thruster, which is equipped to the same slot as the Reserve Shooter... Uhhhhh. I guess they're going for team shenanigans but it reads like one of the dumbest things on this list. That doesn't really balance this.

My Team Fortress 2 folder doesn't have a cfg file. If I create one and put an autoexec file in it, would that work?

EDIT: Does the new deploy time penalty on the Atomizer mean that in will spin very slowly in the air when the scout pulls it out?

:( and right after i talked about how this was my favorite loadout, this hurts. guess I'll learn to shoot fire at people instead of just m2+q+m1-ing

matchmaking becoming an overlay redeems that whole system for me though, it was obnoxious not being able to alt tab from TF2 easily and also being stuck on a screen where i couldn't at least manage inventory and loadouts.

righteous bison being fixed is, uh, righteous.

I believe they mean it can be used to flak some enemy jetpack pyros.

the thermal thruster doesn't cause you to knock around enemies -- this just means that if you equip it, you can get minicrits against enemy pyros that are jetpacking, along with rocket/sticky jumping enemies (and enemies that get knocked into the air by friendly soldier/demo i guess)

basically it goes from being a puff and sting staple to a way to punish classes with a Go Fast option

also i wonder if the dragon's fury projectile does splash damage or passes through enemy players or if it just impacts a dude and he gets tickled

i could see pairing it with the scorch shot -- set a bunch of dudes on fire with splash damage, then jump in and stuff a 100 damage fireball down their throats

So they fixed some things and nerfed a bunch of others and the new weapons will be OP'd for a few weeks? Classic valve. Still, this means a lot of:

Reserve Shooter already did this by default (it's also equippable by Soldier). It minicrits all airborne enemies; now it doesn't minicrit airblasted foes though.

I think I just misunderstood the language, it says "Attacks on targets flying via the Thermal Thruster" which made me envision "attacks on enemies who were knocked flying by the Thermal Thruster." Minicrits on enemy Pyros who are flying with the Thruster makes a lot more sense. My bad, that's fine, I just completely forgot how this all works

On the current weapon description.



The changes say that mini-crit affects explosions, and the patch notes didn't remove that. All it did was remove airblast from the list and add jetpacking. Soldiers could also use the reserve shooter to mini-crit a jetpacking pyro, for what it was worth.

in other news it's hilarious that valve shat on the ambassador even harder than they initially outlined

now you can't even crit past a certain range, and the crits have damage falloff over range too
