Team Fortress 2

Yeah, destroying minis if you're a "heavy" class, is easy; if you're a "light" class with the right equips, it's not that hard; if you're a "light" class with the wrong equips, you might as well figure out a different route. God forbid you start placing them right in the middle of places where there is no alternate routes.

There's also that minis used to be super hard to damage due to a hitbox glitch that wasn't patched until last year. You had to get direct hits on them, which is hard if you're a Heavy or a Soldier who's in a firefight.

There also used to be a glitch where they would regen some health if they took damage while being built.

Might just be that I tend to throw them into the center of the action and everyone immediately targets them. I dunno, aside from the extra one in mvm I tend not to get much mileage out of them.

Also older maps were not built around the meta of mini-sentries, so some areas can be put on lockdown with just a single mini-sentry in the right corner or hill. It's also just not a fun mechanic to play against in general, since usually there's a great rush that comes with destroying a level three sentry, but taking out a mini-sentry, which is just shy of being just as big of a hassle to deal with at times, doesn't feel rewarding, especially when you know the Engineer is plotting down another one about five feet away.

Welp, after reading all this, I made sure to keybind F4 to quick build/destroy sentries.

Boohahah...

It's a lot faster if you have a mouse with more than three buttons. Just bind it to one of those extra ones and have fun.

I have my F1 - F4 keys bound to auto-build/destroy every engie building so I don't have to get out my PDA at all. The other keybind I like is a toggle that binds my RMB to auto attack with the wrench whenever I hold it and then to switch back to whatever weapon I was using previously when I release it. I've adapted that toggle to work with a lot of other classes that don't have special RMB functions.

More than four? Don't most mice have three?

RPG mice come in handy with all of the various binds you can set up.

I actually meant three, but for whatever reason said four. My bad, I'll fix it.

x10 servers + Scorch Shot + Kunai Spies = MAXIMUM LAUGHS

...But only if they never get that first back stab. One of them actually called me out.

I got a Strange Killstreak Huo-Long Heater, and Payload is just too easy. With a pocket medic, you're guaranteed a 5-10 killstreak per life. Playing Gold Rush, ended up getting five dominations and more points than the entire enemy team combined.

I've been wondering what's been up with the Comic... How's it going? Anyone know?

It runs on Valve Time.

Rumors are that the next iteration is due with the Spy and Engie update.

So some time next year then.

Well, the matchmaking "leak" probably pushed everything back a ways as far as major updates go...

Or maybe they'll just scrap all of their ideas and replace them with hats.

Not like that happened before or anything.

Obligatory:

Holy cow.

Guys? I heard TF 2 is dying. I haven't gotten the chance to play it a lot, because the Activate Windows bluescreen constantly pops up to close my window, but I don't want it to die...

I refuse to believe that's anything but absurd luck.

Naw. A lot of people said so in the wake of STAR_ pretty much stopping playing, but it's really not.

The player base might fluctuate from time to time, but it won't die anytime soon.

Actually, STAR_ said in a recent update that he might come back depending on how good the leaked matchmaking is.

I read in the comments that he played it once or twice in the streams. He apparently showed genuine enthusiasm and said that it was good to play again.
