Unpopular Opinions

But most classes can't instakill you.

 

The ninja crits as pyro is basically an instakill now.

 

I think that CTF is completely and totally fubared. It is broken on a fundamental level due to the fact that all of the classes weren't designed to actually counterbalance eachother, instead being added into the game with band-aid style counters designed to counter the then-biggest threats. This lead to a downward spiral of reactionary class creation which, in turn, lead to classes like mage and elf which are too powerful or not powerful enough, respectively.

I also think that although it's a noble goal, CTF will never be fixed by the implementation of new classes as it would only perpetuate the downward spiral, nor would it be fixed by a gradual re-working of the classes without careful planning and a whole lot of time, two things that brawl, with all its gamemodes, will never allow CTF (mcpvp syndrome).

Therefore, I am of the opinion that CTF, in its current state, can only be fundamentally be fixed with a complete and comprehensive overhaul of every class at once, OR a completely new set of classes that are designed to counterbalance each other so that gameplay focuses more on individual skill instead of class ability, with a few execptions to allow new players to enjoy the game without getting wrecked non-stop by players with more skill and time.

And, since neither of these options are feasible in the relatively limited time CTF has left to truly thrive, I honestly believe that CTF is completely and utterly unfixable.

All that said, the current balance of CTF, although dangerously close to being unplayable, still does contain enough challenge for players willing to power through the class imbalance can still find the game tolerable, if not fun. Still, tolerable will not bring in new players fast enough to allow CTF to thrive.

 

Slums was actually pretty easy to navigate

Blackout is medic op

 

Elf can actually be useful.

Should make a dolphin class

 

cream puff class
cannoli class
ouo

 

Offensive/capping pyro is surprisingly viable and I think pyro should be changed so that it can suit both offense and defense by being more mobile and not at all campy

 

I think soldier is very broken, and needs a MAJOR change.

 

Mage may be annoying, but it is easy to kill. JUST STRAFE THEM!

 

necro sux.. dat's it

 

That's what you got out of that entire post?

Holycrap man, you've got a one track mind. We get it, you're a mage main. Doesn't mean you have to take offense at every criticism ever leveled against mage, while ignoring literally the entire point of the post in the process.

 

I just hate it how so many players think a balanced class is OP. I agree with most of your post, just not the mage part.

 

Mage is balanced in a self contained sense. Just because it's balanced within the class does not mean it's not op when compared to all the others. The fact is, once you get good at mage, you can become nigh unstoppable.

 

All classes are OP in the hands of a pro. And mage takes more skill than any other class.

 

I picked up mage for the first time and got 7 kills by holding the damage spell down in a hallway.

'skill'.

 

You're probably lucky then. Mage requires timing and skill.

 

Lol it doesnt, if a noob mage (Probaly all) damage spells me I cant get close..

 

I just see people spell spam as mage and get kills ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Wowwwww

You went to real dark place there buddy. That comment hurt me here, in the place that it counts :c

 

lol iirc that was my first mage game on that day. bearing in mind i hardly ever play mage
