Instakill..

Quick-scope for days my friend quick-scope and quick draw...

 

In some cases insta-kills are kinda needed. Some of them are op (looking at pyro), but archer's insta-kill is there for map control. Even though the could use some changes and can be annoying, we need em'.

 

Yes, even though Assassin's insta-kill is entirely ping based, that class is super balanced. You use assassinate, and you can get insta-killed.
Archer... If it didn't have an insta-kill, what use would the class be? Just to bow spam?
Pyro, though, I'm not so sure about. I won't be commenting on this, because I don't want to start a war.
Dwarf can insta-kill things once it gets to a high enough level. Ninja at over level 9, Assassin at over level 9/10, Medic and Mage and level 18/20 (I don't remember), etc... If this happens, an Assassin can take care of it, so can a Mage.

 

And Heavy at over 9000. :3

 

i personally like to call it "insta-skill"

if u cant deal with my skillz gtfo pls

u dont deserv to be playin with the best of le best

 

@RHCube what is wrong with you. You need skill for assassin unless you wanna die 1000 times. Pyro does have a counter: medic.
Archer has a half-counter: Elf.

 

LOL. Assassin takes no skill. Not everyone wants to type /medic every time they see a pyro. Elf is premium.

 

I'd just like to mention at this point that archer is meant to counter long range and be countered short range AND has a counter in elf and a block with dwarf. Archer does need to be fixed to an extent, but adding more countering is probably not going to be of much use

 

I assume you're talking about capping and getting "gangbanged" by their defense.

 

Look who's not a brawler and is mad about instakills

 

Gangbanged? It only takes one @Sibs to screw you over.

 

I beg to differ...
Assassin is highly dependent on timing, good speed use, dodging, strafing, and making sure your use of red stone is as optimal as a time as it can be. And then they block.

Pyro... just go medic man xD or even ninja. The beauty of ctf is that classes counter each other.

Archer... now archer yeah, its harder to avoid but you can generally expect where the archers will shoot from depending on the map, and you can always sidestep/play classes with high mobility(ninja, assassin, soldier)

 

News flash: going medic doesn't work if the pyro has any PvP skills. I've won many 1v1s in medics who stole the flag as pyro.

 

Gold Armor vs Leather Armor
Gold Sword vs Diamond Axe
Its not that hard.

 

And I thought you said assassin is a ping-based class.

 

ur mums ez

 

Smart idea... I have to agree but... Usually the random head shots are from skilled players, I can barley get a headshot if someone is moving at all

 

Okay, @Sir_Inge ... but look at what @Pan_Daniel said, and to add; if a medic is capping, he is focused on not dying, and capping the flag, not 1v1ing a random pyro, when he has the flag. Not dying, and 1v1ing and two COMPLETELY different things, and in a straight up 1v1 medic vs pyro, medic wins 95% of the time. Not to mention, ninja is also a great counter to pyro as well.

 

LMAO most medics are easy kills. Pyro deals as much damage as soldier with much weaker armor. Medic has pretty flimsy armor and an okay sword, only because it's enchanted. So, between the two, it's about a 50/50. But you have to take into account that the medic will run away from the pyro instead of fighting him/her. So that's why pyro wins. And even if they die, they'll have done enough damage for a heavy or ninja to finish them off (because pyros aren't on teams alone).
