    • [Forked] Scorch Shot Ban Discussion

      I think going from banning scorch to banning det is a bit too much of a leap. The detonator gives control and actual specialized play compared to the scorch, for the price of actual mechanical investment and timing, even if not all that difficult in the long term.
      The scorch allows for you to pick up and use it, with a stupid amount of value and artificial versatility for the price of very little investment. A lot of pyros end up using scorch shot as somewhat of a crutch without really developing their own playstyle and become overly reliant on spamming it.
      To be able to effectively spam the detonator on a similar level to the scorch, a certain amount of time investment is required to learn how to properly time it’s detonations across range and for each sort of task you’d have in mind with it. Before this point, you would see a lot more inefficiencies and misplays, such as peaking sightlines for longer in the moment to attempt to properly detonate it.

      Det in general is a lot more punishing than scorch if improperly used, while also not having an oppressive stun mechanic, and also provides some actually interesting options for play on the class.
      I do not think detonator should be banned, and I think the scorch promotes unintuitive play that is neither fun to play, nor to use. Not only this, but it promotes poor playstyles, and I would also reason it also hurts the long term growth of the class.

      Other secondaries such as the det/shotty/flare etc promote more specialized sorts of playstyles and mechanics outside of just spam.
      For instance, with the detonator you may see controlled spam and timed midair detonations, such as around the cascade rocks to hit people, and are rewarded for smartly using it while not putting yourself in as much risk. Alternatively to this, you can much more aggressively and actively position yourself, even with something such as a bomb.
      Shotgun allows for you to deny more efficiently, and promotes a generally protective sort of play, while also being perfectly suitable for a lot of combat engagements.
      Flare gun promotes high single target focus and combo plays. While somewhat oppressive, I do not think it is nearly as much of a menace as the scorch is.
      Scorch promotes mindless spam, stunning, and in general results in a lack of commitment to and specialization in particular pyro mechanics/roles.

      I think the scorch is a bit more pressing than something like flare/det in terms of getting banned, as I believe it trickles into a pyro that’s plagued pyro as a whole for a bit now. This problem I would say, is that there tends to be a lot of a lack of specialization and intuitive play by newer pyros and a lot of pyros as a whole; as they tend to just parrot what they’re told to do by the community and mentors, and tend not to be very proficient at it. By having a secondary such as scorch that a lot of newer pyros can cling to and get a lot of value out of as a crutch, one that also does not intuitively teach good mechanics, the problem is further amplified.

      In short, while the detonator can do some things that the scorch can not and vice versa, the detonator requires actual investment to be able to realize it. It is not nearly as oppressive, as there are more options to counterplay against it than oh hey I’m stunned I guess I’ll die now, and is not nearly as broadly problematic. It provides a lot of options, but those options require vision to utilize, and results in very intuitive play, atleast when compared with the scorch. You get a higher potential as a result of being able to control the det, while having a higher floor as well. Is it unfair? Possibly, but scorch is entirely in a different league, and you can argue for days about other weapons that are unfair if you put time into becoming proficient at them.

      also yeah I think this tangent should go to a new thread

    • [Forked] Scorch Shot Ban Discussion

      The scorch shot discussion has always been a little funny to think about because there’s really nothing overpowered about the weapon besides it being annoying to people

      The versatility it provides compared to other secondaries, which results in a lack of more specialized play, as well as generalized playstyles. I don’t think having some super applicable jack of all trades option is a good solution to the weaknesses of the class, one which only serves to sugarcoat and hide the issues at that.

      The entire class would have been banned years ago if people screeching “annoying” had ever been an effective argument. Especially considering axtinguisher and puff and sting meta ran the table for years.

      I find this point irrelevant. There are other arguments that’ve been laid down that have more depth to them than just the weapon being annoying. It is also unrealistic to imply that the class would ever be banned in highlander, a 9v9 mode with one of each class.

      Pyro has been downgraded so significantly over the years that its role has dwindled to a mere backline watchdog, and if anything the sc meta is the first move in a long while to improve an otherwise extremely range limited class’ utility to further aid the team

      The scorch shot does little to resolve this. It by nature promotes poorer play than the other secondary options. If you already have good mechanics, you can get a stupid amount of value out of it. If you do not have good mechanics, it becomes harder to actually develop important pyro mechanics with the scorch shot. Pyro’s role has indeed dwindled, but the emphasis should be on more divergent and branching playstyles in response to this; a redefinition of the class and it’s roles. The usage of scorch shot results in more cookie cutter playstyles to try and get the maximum value out of all of it’s many uses. This reduces the importance of individual mechanics, and in my opinion will only lead to further issues with the class down the line. Using a mechanically unintuitive option that promotes less specialized play will not solve the issues of the class.

      But what I found is that there are many circumstances where you can assist in denials, albeit small ones, on maps where pyro otherwise has a limited role. This can be on sniper, or flank, or doing the final damage in a koth midfight where you’d otherwise have no role but to chill in the back

      Again, I feel like having such easy access to all of these options results in a much less dynamic metagame for the class. Detonator allows for you to do similar things, while being more specialized, and requiring more mechanical input and development.

      but not many stop to consider what it brings to a team on an otherwise shit class.

      It brings an artificial level of enhancement to pyro’s versatility and utility, while requiring a lot less mechanical input. Bandaging an issue is not resolving it.

      Not to mention, the scorch/det are direct downgrades in close range combat to the shotty/flare among others, which is significant when you consider the degreaser already has the lowest dps of any primary weapon and every second matters in trying to protect a combo at range

      I disagree with this. Options can often be more valuable than a higher source of direct damage. Scorch shot gives a mechanically lacking way to control movement via bounce/stun, to and dictate the terms of an engagement. The detonator allows for you to control movement by timing detonations and smartly placing your shots, and also gives you the option to jump in and out of an engagement. The shotgun and flare gun are indeed better for sheer damage, but operating under the framework of secondaries being tools to provide options, scorch and det can easily help out more than a higher source of direct damage.
      If I’m going to be honest on this, I find that the degreaser ends up training you to be reliant on the switch speed. There are cases where you will legitimately find value out of it, such as denying a bomb with shotty and the degreaser switch speed on ashville. But my argument is, the less access to an easy spam and back method of secondary usage you have, the less you’ll end up finding yourself in said poor positions. If you are to be punished for making poor decisions, you’ll naturally learn not to make them as much.
      I personally find the stock and detonator to be a very effective and synergistic combo, as the weapons play to eachother’s strengths. The secondary being the tool to augment the primary, and the stock being able to effectively inflict a lot more chaos during exchanges. The slightly reduced airblast cost on paper is somewhat insignificant, but the extra afterburn can absolutely make the difference in something such as a detonator bomb. As in that case, you wouldn’t want to find yourself swapping to the detonator from the degreaser to spam it for the extra afterburn anyways.This sort of loadout results in a very space and chaos oriented style of play, which while not a style for everyone, is absolutely valid in it’s own right. To wrap back around, the detonator gives more options, while being more punishing than the scorch shot if you wish to get value out of it. Yet again, I think this trickles into a larger issue with the typical approach players take to the class.
      I’m not a top player or anything, but I think it’s important to have these sorts of more niche and developed playstyles, that aren’t as reliant on the utility provided by the scorch shot.

      Not to mention, it one of very few weapons that can contest snipers at range, if anything else but to force them on to darwins

      The detonator can also fulfill this purpose, while requiring much more mechanical investment and possible punishment/misplay.

      The way to fixing pyro’s issues begins with evaluating the average perception and mentality applied to the class (which in my opinion somewhat stagnates innovation), and how various playstyles and roles of pyro fit in with differing teams and components. I think that this whole argument about the scorch shot best represents these flaws.

      Pyro has had flawed metas in the past, and I think it’s time to try and tackle the issue in a comprehensive way. By removing the scorch shot, you’ll see more divergent playstyles with the generalized utility of the scorch shot being taken out of the equation. This would only go part of the way, but I think that not jumping on this possibility for change would be a mistake. If people want to see pyro as anything but a backline watchdog, there needs to be something that.

      A. Forces an extent of immediate change towards more specialized play
      B. A shift in perception that goes along with this

      The downgrades given to the class did a lot of harm, and I think it’s time we as a community reevaluate the roles and mechanics of the class; rather than relying on a secondary that stunts long term growth to fix the class’s weaknesses and issues.

      I fully agree that it being annoying is not a good enough reason for it being banned. That being said, I think it’s certainly worth discussing for other reasons.

    • Harassment in the RGL Community

      @Grynn said in [Harassment in the RGL Community](/post/

      It’s not all on RGL though, we have to do it as a community. No one is gonna give you shit for banning a toxic person from your discord server.

      As much as I’d like to agree with you, I do not believe that ends up being the case in actuality. There is only so much the league can do compared to the individuals in a community. People virtue signal all day, but when it comes down to actually backing up any meaningful action or change, the reception tends to be rather silent and temporary.
      People love to support these sorts of moral sentiments, but turn a blind eye to the behavior if it concerns their friends or people they associate with. Wittingly or otherwise, continuing to involve people who cause these sorts of issus in the community makes yourself part of the problem. This is why association is something to be considered. While it is not good to entirely form your opinion on someone based off of their friends, I think it is safe to say that involvement with certain individuals is a clear sign of a lack of character and moral standards.
      Every time you try to do something good, you’ll end up experiencing more blowback than you do any form of support or encouragement. You’ll see a small portion of people showing token support on threads and friend discords, but that is never going to be enough. I do not feel like this is a sustainable social structure whatsoever.
      I am of the mindset that people who harm the community should be isolated rather than embraced.

      People can speak all they want and these discussions are not a bad thing, it’s always great to see more people coming forward. But at the end of the day, none of it means anything if they aren’t prepared to burn bridges and pay a personal cost to see real change through. The vocal minority will always overpower the silent majority unless these systematic social issues are responded to systematically wherever they happen to show. There is no excusing or justifying these behaviors such as harassment whatsoever; every single person who turns a blind eye directly contributes to said issues, and should be held accountable by the community. As long as we have people who still rationalize and defend these behaviors, we are not going to see change.

      There is no such thing as casual racism, and there is no such thing as justified harassment. These behaviors should not be seen as normal or acceptable in any form. There is no moral gray area here, there are only individuals who put the conscious thought and effort into behaving like individuals deserving of any respect whatsoever, and those who do not. I feel nothing but disappointment and contempt towards individuals who refuse to hold themselves, their friends, and their peers accountable to their own actions. These people go around harassing. apologizing, and talking about how they’ve changed, but fail to realize that true change shows through actions instead of words they never intend to follow through on. They ask for chances time and time again, without ever wanting to change how they act; only speaking to get what they want. This primarily comes in the form of seeking forgiveness from victims to avoid punishment, as well as in the form of pleading to get into groups.

      I speak all of this in reflection of my own experiences in running community groups. It is a matter I have seen a lot of and experienced personally. I apologize if this is somewhat incoherent, it is a collection of my loose thoughts and experiences. I do not intend ill will towards any one person or group of people, but this is a very real issue regardless of whether people think it is or not, regardless of if they know they contribute to the cycle or not. I do understand that a lack of maturity plays into this, but it is very much not an excuse for individual nor collective behavior. I am not claiming to be entirely fair in how I treat individuals in my groups, but I do not think standing by and knowingly allowing for harm to happen is fair. Every platform these people get only serves to validate them and their actions. Things such as pug groups are a part of the community, and should hold themselves to standards.

    • Yes I've been very stupid but please take a look at my apology

      I understand that you want attention, fine, I feel the need to convey some thought of my own.

      If you want to talk about being fake, I’d advise you to reread your own post.
      I’m going to point to behavioral patterns here. Typically speaking, if a person has to say that they’ve changed due to a lack of actions to back it up, they haven’t changed and are only saying it to get something they want.
      The terminology here is insignificant, however to match it with yours:
      You “trolled” sakura and apologized for that to avoid repercussions
      You “trolled” rona and apologized for that to avoid repercussions
      You act like an ass to melon and apologized for that afterwards
      Every time I’ve seen something like this happen with you, you get called out on it, you then apologize to the person, and then proceed to do the same things. I wonder why.

      You raid lou’s server while talkling of how you simply failed to defend her from being harassed. I would like to note how you throw harassment around here when it’s involving others, but not with your own actions. You were also directly involved with harassing rona. There is no standing up here; you were not some innocent bystander.

      You also conveniently also forgot to bring up how you peer pressured “friends” into raiding a pug group with you. We just do a little trolling, right? These are totally actions that everyone in the community just casually decides to do. Do note that the whole telling a player to kill themselves and the leaking of dms happened in response to information of the raid being leaked to staff of the group. This led to rene deciding to raid lou’s server, as well as lashing out at others within his social group. I’m not going to go into any further detail on this matter, any sort of attempt at excusing is quite frankly irrelevant regardless of mental state.

      I’m not so sure I’d write a pattern of targeted “trolling”, immediate backpedaling, and then going on to do similar things again off due to impulse/instability alone. Your actions absolutely reflect on yourself as a person, far more than any words do. No matter what excuse you try to use, actions end up being rooted in behavioral patterns, and these behavioral patterns define us as people.

      I believe telling someone to kill themselves and leaking a dm is the worst thing you could do. These were towards MALE players, to clarify.

      The fact that these things were directed towards male players doesn’t make it any more or less wrong than if it were towards a female player. I suppose bringing that aspect of it up better suits the narrative that you don’t harass women in specific though. I don’t care if you’re being accused of harassing women only and feel the need to clarify here, the fact that you find it relevant to clarify speaks for itself.

      There’s a reason why the phrase “we do a little bit of trolling” is tossed around a lot.

      This speaks for itself in regards to how you try to rationalize and defend your actions without understanding the actual harm they do.
      If you describe actions as indefensible, you shouldn’t try to defend them.
      I’d think that if you had any understanding of your wrongdoings, you wouldn’t jump right into judging bonesaw for judging your past actions, one’s which you try to downplay the harm of.

      Stop talking about change and how sorry you are when you quite frankly have no intent of changing and simply want sympathy from others. Given your responses in the thread so far that try to redirect things, you are clearly not sorry in the slightest for your past actions. If you had any shred of genuineness, you wouldn’t keep acting the same way as you did before.
      If you want other people to value your word, you have to value your own word.

      The pattern remains the same
      Do something awful
      Try to downplay the action with friends and or redirect the fault onto the other person
      Apologize for it
      Repeat

      Your last paragraph really makes the lack of genuine remorse all the
      more clear.

      Stop using your mental state as an excuse and hold yourself accountable, you might end up changing once you get around to doing that.
      Turn this around on me like you usually try to do, I’m done. I’m not going to stay silent on this matter, and I’m not going to give it any more attention than this.

      i respect the grind, but i do think you’d benefit from surrounding yourself with better people. i’ma be real with you bass pro shops is a genuinely awful look personality wise. iirc you had some complaints about your reputation in the preseason, and the first step to fixing that is to take a step back and giving some attention to who you surround yourself with.

      the grind is good and all, but it’s all about the path you take to get to your goal.

      it kinda comes in two ways

      1. you tend to somewhat pick up on traits and grow similar to the people you surround yourself with even if you think it doesn’t effect you
      2. the people you associate with does somewhat speak to your own character, though not entirely ofc; usually shitty people tend to have their own social circles which enable their behaviors; and standards tend to stay consistent within said groups. to that extent, it does somewhat speak of yourself if you are fine with their actions and do not hold them accountable.

      if you don’t really see what i mean then w/e, figured i’d take the time to comment.

    • Hats and Cats interviews

      Hey so I recently started a recording series of interviewing tf2 players about their competitive experiences, community interactions, and general sentiments regarding the issues we face and recent community events. The general focus of the series is looking back to the past, and seeing what we can learn from it and where we can go as a community, league, and players in the future.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J7E19AevOo
      The American interview is probably my favorite interview so far, I think it best represents the series and the sorts of topics we’ll be covering. Kinda going along with that I’d definitely be interested in covering more topics collaboratively and maybe organizing stuff like class round tables in the future, or trying to inspire other people to do them. I think there’s a lack of these sorts of collaborative class based community projects, and community projects in general these days; that results in a lack of the community feeling like an actual community. Reviving that sense of spirit should help in regards to accountability going forward.

      To help elaborate on the premise a bit, read this
      6a7b63e6-7a52-4d73-8eb0-d72675440fde-image.png

      Feel free to reach out to me if this is something that interests you. Some of the earlier (I think first 4-5? episodes) have audio issues which I believe I have fixed now. New episodes come every Mon/Wed/Fri at 12 pm est. This is a solo project at the moment, and I am constantly looking to improve my game. Most of the formatting of the videos is intentional for the sort of atmosphere I am looking to cultivate.

      I would very much appreciate anyone who’s interested in interviews or community collaboration, or some other form of contribution reaching out either through steam or to me on discord. My main concern at the moment, is my lack of contact with and connection to 6s players, as well as just a general possibility of running out of people to cover. I do not particularly feel the need for help otherwise, but I am always interested to hear what people have to say.
      https://discord.gg/qZT7faBwbq

      After I run through my reserves of interviews, I’d probably start aiming more towards having multiple people on to talk about things or just generally podcasting about recent tf2 happenings.

      Coach’s corner from coach bucks was some inspiration, along with vaguely chocc talk; but this series has a lot of it’s own community focused goals as well that I think help give it an identity of it’s own. Most of these interviews are highly individualized and focused on things a person has experience and developed perspective on.


      Interview Log:

      Interview 1 - Darzie:

      rgl and staff experience focused

      Interview 2 - Green Beret:

      lots on the transition between ugc and rgl, and the culture surrounding the timeframes and sniper

      Interview 3 - Ac130/Ness:

      rgl and sa cross regional focus

      Interview 4 - Vibeisveryo:

      rgl and community initiatives focused

      Interview 8 - Maven:

      I really enjoyed talking about his experience on the RGL channel, content creation experience, and other side projects

      Interview 9 - Baconblitz:

      First one with a larger content creator and explores a lot more of the personal motivations. Was fun to view it from a more community based stance.

      Interview 10 - Rorek:

      It was suuuper fun to just talk about mapmaking and the methodology of balancing maps around each class

      Interview 11 - blake:

      We had a super detailed discussion on class wars and it was great. Bring it back, rgl.

      Interview 12 - Submarine:

      Covers a lot of the experiences of an asian hl player and the issues their community faces; in no small part due to ugc

      Interview 13 - Wasteman:

      Covers a lot of Australian highlander stuff from the perspective of a player. Talks a bit about qixalite and concerns regarding it as well.

      Interview 14 - Gamemaster:

      Covers a loooot of older ugc events and the personal history of the engineering legend. This one was a blast to just experience and be there for.

      Interview 15 part 1 - Nabla:

      Talks all about basically every format besides regular 6s and a lot of rgl lore from a behind the scenes perspective

      Interview 15 part 2 - Nabla:

      Talks about 6s in specific and a lot of insight into what it’s like to administrate for the community

      Interview 16 - Kegaman:

      This one is all about Kegaman and their own experiences including with content creation, with a little on the state of Asian Highlander. I usually prefer to have more of a significance and some takeaways from what I do, but I really don’t mind just delving into some more personal stories for the sake of it; kega’s always a joy and a really nice person.

      Interview 17- Mothership:

      Mothership does a lot of behind the scenes technical stuff in the rgl community and it was really nice to humanize all of that moderation experience. Also mothership put a ton of effort into increasing the audio quality of this one which is super appreciated

      Interview 18- Micahlele:

      Mr. Micah has some of the most interesting takes to offer. very insightful talk that puts a lot of rgl decision making methodology into perspective.

      Interview 19- DZCreeper:

      This one delves primarily into metagames, player improvement and the concept of maincalling.

      Interview 20- Paul:

      this one covers a lot of the leadership experiences of b&h paul.

      Interview 21- Res:

      This one covers what it’s like to reach invite in highlander, what pyro is like to a newer pyro, and a generally fresher set of eyes on competitive culture.

      Interview 22- Vanxi:

      This one covers 6s and tftv from a self described more detached and less community involved perspective

      Interview 23- Arcadia:

      This one covers a lot of 6s stuff from a community oriented perspective and touches upon a lot of various projects.

      Interview 24- Constantly

      This one covers a ton of rgl related topics from the perspective of the current hl head admin and really puts you into the mind of the man who has to make a bunch of important decisions for the good of the community, was glad to get it done.

      Interview 25- Ghost

      This one is more focused on ghost, their own experiences; and context for the past rather than any big overarching community themes. Still has a fair bit on spy as a class though.

      Interview 26- Witness

      This one covers a lot of the lore and various trivia of the witness gaming brand, as well as a bit of discussion on mentoring, lans, and resup.gg. Will hopefully combine into one part when I can render again.

      Interview 26.5- Witness part 2

      Same as the above

      Interview 27- MattJ part 1

      Part 1 talks a lot about the philosophy of MattJ, as well as thoughts on the state of team fortress two and it’s community.

      Interview 27.5- MattJ part 2

      Hones in much more on the cultural side of things and how it defines europe as a region in contrast to na

      Interview 28- Hard Hat Jones

      So this one is probably the most unique episode yet, and it ends up becoming a bit more of a traditional podcast as time goes on. It was done while hard hat jones was doing a 24 hour livestream. Naturally, this had an effect on the interview itself, especially towards the end/second timestamp and on. It goes on for a bit due to the interactivity with his stream chat and bounces back and fourth a fair bit. It also features karaoke, and me talking about the series and it’s goals for a bit among other things. Starts off by talking about the streamer life and what that entails if that’s your thing.

      Interview 29- Lay

      This one covers a lot about pugs, leadership, mentoring, other games, multiclassing, and caffeine usage.

      Very passionate about the game, their strongest trait is how communicative and willing to seek compromise they are. I have almost never seen June play the blame game or start talking down on other players, and they usually try to see the best in and talk people up to make sure they play the best game they can. To that extent, June is fairly unique in regards to how outgoingly compassionate they are within the community. This is especially appreciable in pugs given the common social precedents set in such atmospheres.

      This set of social behaviors lends itself very well to coordinating in general, but especially medic with their ability to defuse social tension through the power of reddit. Unfortunately, their strength as a Redditor can’t match that of EthanF, so think of that what you will.
      back to being serious, they’re always on the grind gameplay wise, and that has the potential to really help your team out. and given that they don’t really tend to focus on creating needless drama, it’s something that’ll only really be helping you with any team issues you have. This is important. It is easy to grind reviews, play the blame game, and totally crush team morale and the team atmosphere by not taking the right communicative approach.

      Other than that, they just really enjoy trying to innovate and change things up, which is always a nice touch and lends itself well to soldier. They may not have that that much time on soldier or medic in a more refined environment, but they have so much potential once they start investing seasons with teams.

      Interview 28- Hard Hat Jones
      So this one is probably the most unique episode yet, and it ends up becoming a bit more of a traditional podcast as time goes on. It was done while hard hat jones was doing a 24 hour livestream. Naturally, this had an effect on the interview itself, especially towards the end/second timestamp and on. It goes on for a bit due to the interactivity with his stream chat and bounces back and fourth a fair bit. It also features karaoke, and me talking about the series and it’s goals for a bit among other things. Starts off by talking about the streamer life and what that entails if that’s your thing.

      Interview 26 & 26.5- Witness

      Split into two parts because rendering videos crashes my computer due to my power supply at the moment. will hopefully be one part when i can render again.
      also if someone wants to try to combine the other multipart ones into singular vids that’d be cool too, i hate free editing programs that crash after enough time spent on one render.

      This one covers a lot of the lore and various trivia of the witness gaming brand, as well as a bit of discussion on mentoring, lans, and resup.gg

      After two hours of work I have assembled a form to help manage the series going forward. You’ll be able to see any of the side projects I’m collecting responses for, as well as generally give input on it. I am actively collecting responses for the caffeine video, and have assembled a very robust set of questions for it.
