Why I Hate The Direct Hit: A TF2 Discussion.

[Platypus Tamer]

Actually i am no troll, i can guarantee you however, that he is in fact terrible as with the rest of everyone on the escapist.

Please explain to me, in a detailed summary, how you are not trolling.

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

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

I suppose the truth hurts does it not?

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you sir, are an idiot.

Oh! and how so good sir?

 

[Platypus Tamer]

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?

He is trolling. Which is why you just ignore him. It's not hard.

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 =/

Do you know what the definition of ignorance is?

 

[USSR]

Actually, I think the lack of snipping in this thread is more irritating than the troll.

EDIT:

Do you know what the definition of ignorance is?

Yes I do. Lack of knowledge.

Provoking people to flame is against the rules here.
Also, provoking people to flame is also known as a troll, which you think you are not.

 

[Platypus Tamer]

Oh! and how so good sir?

I would tell you why, but you are such a huge nincompoop that you wouldn't be able to comprehend why.

Now why would you go off and call me a nincompoop? Thats crossing the line, and i think you should be banned for flaming me. Also, off of what grounds did you hypothesize this theory that I am a nincompoop.

 

[Platypus Tamer]

Now why would you go off and call me a nincompoop? That's crossing the line, and i think you should be banned for flaming me.

Oh yes, I will definitely get banned for calling you a nincompoop! And of course, the moderators will reward you for revealing that I am actually a troll and a huge flamer!

/sarcasm

Im sorry, were you trying to be funny?

First of all [HEADING=2]Ignore Platypus Tamer[/HEADING]
Second:

So how do the TF2 players out there feel about the Direct Hit? Do you think that it's just a problem of there being too many Soldiers right now, or is the weapon imbalanced? Or do you not see much of a problem at all?

Oh, I really think there's a problem with it. Heavies can't dodge it, scouts are always in the air anyway, engineers can't repair fast enough (Thanks to the increased rate of fire). Not even the pyro can reliably airblast it as it fires faster than the pyro can blast.

It could be because I just spent a few games getting owned by Caliostro and his Direct Hit, but then I'm not normally owned that bad, so I guess I could blame the weapon for it. Caliostro is good, to be sure, but he's not so much better than me that he garners me a 12:29 K/D ratio almost by himself.

I think we should rope him into this thread, though.

Spoiler: OT

Actually, I think the lack of snipping in this thread is more irritating than the troll.

Leave the thread, and leave Platypus well alone.

Im sorry, were you trying to be funny?

Your not getting anywhere with this, give up

OT: I've never had much trouble with the DH, but I can see why it annoys you

 

[Thalien]

Basically the only problems with the DH are the splash damage, there is none effectively which means you require direct hits, and minicrits. Minicrits in midairs are fine for airshots but for people jumping up and down and falling off objects it's stupid. It's ironic giving a weapon which is insanely easy to airshot with an advantage for airshots, that it effectively oneshots people midair. On granary mid in a 6v6 match I just instant gibbed a jumping soldier with my first rocket, it's not actually that hard to do.

Competetive wise, the weapon is meh. I personally use it but that's because i've recently got abit bored so its just quite fun. You lose an awful lot of splash damage but you gain the ability to do obscene single target damage, one shotting medics etc, if you can actually hit with directs, which with peoples ability to dodge isn't actually as easy as you think.

Remove the minicrits, sadface, maybe buff the splash damage to try to equal that nerf out. Or make the minicrits only work when the targets been in the air for a certain amount of time, it's just stupid instantly killing the medic on middle of a map just because he fell of bridge or train etc.

 

[Platypus Tamer]

I remember playing with you one time Danny, you are indeed bad at TF2. Arent you on my friends list?

 

[Platypus Tamer]

Im sorry, were you trying to be funny?

Is it just me, or do you appear to be a bigger idiot every time you post?

I don't know, it must be you because I'm not sensing any amount of idiocy from my posts.Really its just the other way around, because reading everyones posts on the new unlocks is pretty embarrassing.

 

[D_987]

Oh yes, I will definitely get banned for calling you a nincompoop! And of course, the moderators will reward you for revealing that I am actually a troll and a huge flamer!

/sarcasm

No, you're simply an idiot...stop replying - he's obviously trolling by attempting to take the thread away from the original discussion, something he has succeeded in doing because idiots like yourself keep replying to him...leave the thread.

OT: That sound incredibly unbalanced...I can't really add anything else because I haven't played the game...

As you wish. My apologies for jumping into this.

 

[Danny Ocean]

something like a gyroget weapon would be cool, gyrojet projectiles are self powered but aren't ejected from the weapon by a separate charge, they start off very slow and accelerate over distance. that way his new weapon would have low damage close to the target and the damage would ramp up at longer distances.

That'd be quite a good idea. As a scout I need to get in close, so he does the soldier trick of killing me whilst damaging himself. The problem is that the splash damage is reduced, so he comes off better than he normally would, whilst doing more damage.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

After reading this i've come to the obvious conclusion that you are horrible at TF2 and have no idea what you are talking about.

Tough talk for someone who hasnt even been on the sight a whole day.

And even if he was shit at it, which i highly dought he is, he brought up plenty of valid points, something that you seemingly neglected to do.

 

[Toasty Virus]

Thinking about it, I hate the Eyelander far more than the Direct Hit.

I always get destroyed by Eyelander wielding Demo's
