Highlander might be better without sniper, but it wouldn’t matter if it was true. One of the biggest appeals of highlander is that you can play any class you’d like full time. If we remove sniper based off balance/how they affect the flow of the game, then I could potentially see an argument for removing other classes from HL as well. At that point it’s not even HL anymore. Just play 6s if you don’t want to deal with sniper.

Also, I understand why most demo players don’t like playing against decent pick classes, but I honestly don’t mind it at all. Decent snipers punish bad players who are impatient/don’t understand the concept of sniper sight lines. All of your weapons arch on demo as well, you theoretically don’t even have to peak a sight line to apply damage if you just knew most of the spam angles. Obviously that’s just theoretical, but my point is that there are plenty workarounds to playing against a good sniper.

@Kawaiyi players are already punished for saying slurs on rgl platforms. The argument is that people should not be policed over what they say on private platforms.

Using the most extreme example of how someone can abuse the fact that they cannot be punished for mostly saying whatever they want on a private platform isn’t an argument. As edgy as the subsection of the tf2 community can be in their own time, you would be surprised to know that most people are actually not anti-lgbt, racist, ect. It’s either a dark sense of humor or edgy teenagers attempting to get a reaction out of people. You might not think it’s funny, which is fair. It’s completely normal, even if you think both those types of people are immature. When you place restrictions like this, people are gonna be afraid of saying anything at all in their own private platforms.

I understand where people are coming from when they cite the most extreme and rare example of the type of people we could potentially punish if the admins were able to police outside of rgl platforms. Ultimately their intentions are misguided and only lead to a system that can become abused, create an even more strict environment than has to be, and overall hurts more people than helps.

@moxie Intent matters more than anything else, including the outcome. Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise. Thank you for honestly describing your intentions for why you did such a thing, it’s important so people around you may understand why you would do this in the first place. I see now that you were just selfish, lost, and not in a proper state of mind at the moment. Hopefully the people who matter to you understand and forgive you eventually.

Your intentions were to visually show your team how frustrated you were, including getting yourself banned for two weeks. I understand now that you were not trying to hurt anyone based on their race. You definitely got what you wished for. I would make the best out of the situation and give yourself the break you wished for, then come back to attempt to resolve the internal conflict with your teammates.

good luck man, take this time to just better yourself

Coming from a player who has consistently had high ping while playing rgl, I would stay away from taking as many 1v1’s as possible. Since it seems like you main scout, I don’t think that’s as much as an option for you, but it’s still possible. Stop trying to headbutt directly into people when you’re alone + have a ping disadvantage. Most of the time you will just lose the matchup. It seems like you’re trying to fight other people like you have 40 ping, when you obviously don’t.

What gobi said earlier is true as well. Try messing with your interp settings and see what works best for you. What are your current interp settings now?

bump, updated my post

insanely good sniper, very capable of playing mid-high adv.

@mono70billion said in A note about galaxy's ban:

misinterpretation of events that has led up to his ban

I know of two different banned players who received that exact automated response in their ban appeal. Even though they both specifically explained in detail what they were banned for and why it was wrong. I know that your post is mostly sarcastic, but it does seem like the appeal system is flawed.

it’s true, he is a pyro main

My only issue with the guillotine is that I feel like scout doesn’t need it. He’s one of the strongest classes in the game. Why give him secondary alternatives that attempt to cover up one of his only weaknesses?

One of the reasons we keep the wrangler unbanned is because engineer needs it to have more impact in-game, but scout doesn’t have this issue.
