Looking for Feedback - Map Submissions + Community Testing

ayyy map wave hype and def looking forward to more of these, don't see chemi as a main priority esp since most all of those that currently play it/against it (which is still a decent amt) don't really have a big problem with it, but i guess buffing stuff starts somewhere ;D
rip my baby

also yall better not be spamming pot spam from now on lol

 

Please submit your maps for the Easter map wave.

 

I need a landscape on my map

 

Chemist update is unnecessary and would be too "tanky". This change would contributes to bring the classes more in an unbalanced position instead of a balanced one because of no agile class to counter chemist effectively. I suggest to change ninja at first place because of the dominance in a game(for example: flashbombs, agility with flag and agility in general) and then try to balance or nerf/buff other classes. *cough* pyro *cough*

 

So i played a decent amount with the chemist change, and i have to say i surprisingly really really like it. It feels actually spot on with balance (relative to how it was just before).
i feel like it lets me take nearly an additional hit (i think closer to half a hit) from a ninja, idk exactly tho (depends on crits for sure too) @hayns hehe my main opponent (was testing chemi in 1v1s and when capping, also went ninja to fight against them a bit too)

when i read the proposal, i made some faulty assumptions-
- Thought resistance was gonna make it hella OP, i honestly had no idea with that... (@THX testing!!)
- And i didnt think about how the underlying, indirect buffs thatd be inherently included with changing the pots to level II and halving the mana use:

Spoiler: for example...

i would health pot before when i was down 4-5 hearts when mid-combat against multiple enemies just in the heat of the moment and to lean on the safer side, now, i can use a pot for a more explicit amt of health i want back (sometimes dont need to double pot) so im saving a bit more health and mana ....to be fair tho, the more skilled u are, the more of an inherent buff this would be since this assumes u will not misspot the x2 as many health pots that u now need to use nearly x2 as often (the more u pot, the less ur hitting an enemy too), and that u can manage (decide+hotkey) and time ur pots so it's not less effective/efficient to gain back the same health u wouldve b4

@Chhimichanga or was it the fake chimi... was saying some nice opinions of it in global chat

so overall, good stuff

This honestly helps a good, fair amt with lessening ninja's dominance in games
As for pyro, that class is OP and balanced enough xd if anything make it more bulky and have it deal less damage so it's more noob friendly

 

No, it does not helps. Buffing chemist for preventing or reducing the ninja dominance is like putting a sticking plaster on a stab wound. It will just help for the first few minutes. All the other classes will be still dominated by ninja, what in some cases not bad at all is but it will not resolve the problem. Just look it from another perspective and you will realize how overpowered it is at all.

Pyros in casual games, are overpowered, yes. Pyros in matches on the other hand are weak. Most offenses in matches are played by 1-2 soldiers, 1 medic, 0-2 heavy(depents on which map) and maybe a ninja/chemist. You only need someone backstabing or just hitting the pyro and it fells instantly on 0 or 1 steaks left befor killing the enemy and there is the problem. A buffed heavy makes more damage with crits on a pyro as a pyro on a burning heavy. You're constantly on steaking and hoping of the frenzy to charge befor getting killed. I dont want a buff for pyro. I want a radical change for it. Make it bulkier but increase the difficulty to handle it or make a completely refresh. There is a good reason why almost all pyro mains are quitting or already gone.

 

A privated a lot of my Minecraft videos when that Willie Nelson thing went viral, had accidentally uploaded it to my Minecraft YouTube lol. I can go and unprivate the config vid.

 

I completely agree. Either buff pyro or nerf ninja. Quick anecdote: Recent ppm it was more efficient to run an extra ninja than a pyro. Pyro really isn't that fun to play, as you'll see from people debating who gets stuck with the chore of playing the class. I mean the point of the game is to be fun right?? Broken or not if something's not fun to play then you probably have a problem on your hands, js
