Why I Hate The Direct Hit: A TF2 Discussion.

[Platypus Tamer]

Again, i am no troll. And by the way there already is a damage scale based on range, and it's called damage drop off. For all you babies calling me a troll, me stating the truth of you being horrible is not trolling, it is as it is, stating the truth.

As a player who mains Heavy I can say I agree with your points. Heavies are extremely easy to break now. However much of a 'noob class' we are.

Both the Targ/Eyelander and the Direct Hit/Equaliser are broken at the moment. Valve will be stepping in when they have enough data; but yeah, the Heavy needs some loving.

He sure does. Heavy love and happiness all around.

I haven't found the Targe/Eyelander/Equalizer to be that broken, honestly. The only part of the update I draw an issue with is the Direct Hit.

Both weapons allow a good Soldier/Demo to chokehold a specific point by reaching high areas. The Eyelander/Targe/Pipe allows someone to run up spamming, charge in and then reap without any other class being able to stop the Demo getting into close combat. While he's still got bombs going off in melee.

Rocketirect/Equaliser allows a RJ, land in melee and crit; or the suicide take down of RJ, Equalise/Taunt.

Both are outshadowing the Scout, not allowing the Spy/Medic to follow, screwing the Engie over from anything other than corner defence and forcing most classes to defend against the updates.

Even the Pyro is only useful for Demo/Solly countering atm.

After reading all these posts, I feel like the one who is being trolled.

I've seen this happen with a lot of Valve games. They start off slow due to technical diffculties and unsure about how the masses will play with said weapon,map etc etc. They eventually solve it after a few short days so let's hope that they do it with the weapons as well.

Also, I've only played the Xbox version, but from what you have just describeded, it dosen't sound like the new weapons work to well.

He's saying he's not trolling to get a reaction out of you and thus more successfully troll. Did I blow your mind yet?

wait for the solly/demo spam to die down, then we'll see if it's balanced or not; it's hardly ideal conditions to make a judgement at the moment.

You are being insulting other people for no reason, and therefore you are a troll.

I suppose the truth hurts does it not?

To be honest, In order for a troll to be successful, he must irritate whom he is trolling.

I just find some of the responses funny.

Please explain to me, in a detailed summary, how i am trolling.

This, however, was not as funny as other others I get.

Just ignorance, really =/
