Can you go with the loadout loose cannon,sticky jumper, and eyelander. (Use the loose cannon to get a second jump after the sticky jump. And kill 1 person. Btw you can only damage people with the eyelander. I want demo gardening)

Teleporters are one of the easiest ways to earn points as Engie. If the goal is points, you gotta build active teleporters

[@notgoodenough1039]

it would have been a lot better if you had used a better point system that wasn't basically determined on time played. I'd recommend you do this again(because more good content) and record the time of the games and make a point:time ratio for the classes. now your demo might sky rocket for getting 22 points in 5 minutes with a 4 ppm(points per minute) vs pyro getting 58 points in a long round. assuming the round took atleast 12 minutes, you would have not gotten 4 ppm. I hope you do this again because this was very good content.

[@Darkot1]

Came here to say this exact thing. Video was amazing, and just needed something like a "points per x mins" ranking.

[@SamuelTrademarked]

no need

[@LarryTheTugaGamer1511]

​@@SamuelTrademarkedYes need

[@Lawlz4Dayzz]

Demo def won, but the points system was flawed. The fact that pyro took out turrets and Demo punished them so hard that Engies couldnt even set up turrets is enoigh to show it.

[@LarryTheTugaGamer1511]

​@@cowabungaitis9319Correct.

[@user-dx1lx6vf4n]

I believe there’s one problem though with your method of scoring: If, hypothetically, you’re doing extremely good on Defense you’ll be ending the match much quicker and acquire less points due to the round not lasting as long. Idk how’d you go about compensating for this but it’s jus a thought for if you decide to do this again with another map.

[@notgoodenough1039]

He could have used a point to minute ratio to see which class got more points per minute.

[@fractalisomega9517]

The other issue is that it’s hard to determine just how much impact you have on completing the objective…. PabloSandvichMuncher03 could just be a Hoovy in the corner, but if he ends up distracting a third of the enemy team it could arguably be a more effective defense than playing normally

[@IgorNetoAnimation]

That's your take away? the whole video isn't meant to be taken seriously as to which class is actually the best in upward since there's SO many factors that come in to play.

6:19 that soldier damage surfed with the sentry knockback.

[@pudie8952]

I play Heavy a lot and I agree you were not having your best times. For pushing you can use the Tomislav if you've got a dedicated medic, otherwise you can try the Dalokoh's bar for that extra 50 HP (Helps more than one would think) with Natasha. You get a damage reduction after 50% HP, which is now triggered at 175, and you keep enemies in your crosshairs by slowing them down. It works quite well to fend off whoever tries to push too hard into your team. Helps you keep the line thick to allow your homies to push. You can also go hardcore with the Brass Beast and let the cart push you. The absurd damage it does makes it a surprisingly viable weapon, specially since you ALSO get a damage reduction, and you're constantly getting healed. The problem when playing Heavy is that you have to rely on your team and your health pool. Instead of carrying a match, you'll be allowing your team to carry the match by aggroing half the lobby and just staying alive and scaring everyone away with ur sustained damage. But then again, Heavy is probably the least independent class here. You can do work by your own, absolutely, but it benefits the most from a proper team

[@GhostlyHermit]

Hi, I was the demoman named Mr. Morphine while you were playing heavy. I am so sorry, and I enjoy this video greatly.

[@medic6994]

See, I can actually explain the Sniper Pan moment. When the Sniper began the swing with the Pan, swinging it behind his head, it slipped out of his hand, and hit you mid-air. The "Shotty Rocket Jump" was just a B-Hop

[@timelesspoultry8849]

that spy ragdoll at 2:32 was way too funny (to me at least) because of the Force A' Nature's knockback

[@TheeZackMichael]

Spy unironically had the same points with his canon son, Scout.

[@Dr.Hamd.]

[@NephilisThylord]

6:09 i think what happened here was the engi shot the soldier with a shotgun which gave him a minor damage boost, which is why he kept flying. as for why he got THAT much air, i honestly couldnt tell you.

15:48 204 with a single crit meatshot? Was that an extremely niche case of Widowmaker 10% damage bonus & Pain Train's 10% bullet damage vulnerability made a difference? + Video quality is improving a lot, keep it up! Solely enjoyed this one too

[@SeaRavioli-TF2]

Haha that’s crazy I can’t believe you caught that, and I think you’re right about how it happened. And thank you very much! I always appreciate your feedback and adding some more voice over commentary definitely made the video more engaging to watch.

@@SeaRavioli-TF2 Btw, what do you use to record your footages? Seems game clips are 30fps so

[@DEWILL]

@@SeaRavioli-TF2 Oh yeah and nevermind, I just noticed that it's just a merged damage number. 24 from mini + 180 from widowmaker meatshot = 204 Wish it was the case though, so I can convince people that those near useless stats TECHNICALLY can make difference lol

[@SeaRavioli-TF2]

@@DEWILL I use OBS but I've had some issues where occasionally some of my footage is not recording at the proper framerate so I'm looking into messing with my settings. My PC is more than good enough so I've just got something going on either in OBS or Premiere, but I can't quite figure out what 😅 EDIT: it's 100% premiere pro render settings. I make films unrelated to KZbin and I'm always switching framerates around so this one definitely didn't export properly. All the OG footage is fine :P

[@coolcoconuts4453]

Back in the day I mained Heavy (only for about 50 total hours), but it was enough for me to realise that a really simple playstyle is apparantly very hard to get right

[@Alabenson]

Playing Heavy is all about mastering the fundamentals of game sense and efficient movement, and Heavy isn't particularly forgiving in those areas.

[@roadhoundd.]

Upon release, heavy medic was the go-to option for Uber pushes, and overall dominance. Only focus fire and fully charged headshots could stop it. Then the updates came and it went all downhill for heavy after that.

As a heavy main, the most important lesson I've learned is when to back out of an engagement. 300 hp really isn't that much in the face of explosive classes, so if you're in a bad spot you just die. I really rely on the tomislav and the GRU to get out of bad situations.
