?????

EDIT: Holy shit I get it now. Thats amazing

Equalizer gets split and scouts get crit a cola and bonk buffs

Yeah this is definitely team fortress 2

8:31 PM - NA$A 2sÿ.Zobby: let's see
8:31 PM - NA$A 2sÿ.Zobby: that's 8 seconds of over 150% movespeed
8:31 PM - NA$A Abramelin: wow
8:32 PM - NA$A 2sÿ.Zobby: that will get you to mid faster than demo
8:32 PM - NA$A 2sÿ.Zobby: on every map

THEY TOOK MY BABY, :_;

yeah just fucking buff crit a cola and pyros, sure that's not going to break anything or be more annoying

critacola + new scattergun sounds pretty damn fun

I thought I was going to hate this update

But now I am pleased...kinda sorta

equalizer nerfed, pyro buffed.

Having 2 soldiers to mid was getting boring anyway.

one of the best updates released a+ valve

wait guys the equalizer speed was just put on another item. you can still use it to get to mid if you want

but wooow these balance changes, a lot of them are really solid

yeah even if there's a couple of changes people won't like it's great they're tweaking weapons/balance again

Doesn't matter for shit if the escape plan isn't allowed

Meanwhile, crit a cola IS allowed and just made scouts get to mid faster than demo on every map.

About time equalizer got split.

i'll escape to mid

I have never seen Huey happier than he is right now.

Does anyone have an actual list of the new weapons?

pretty much sums this update up.

i can't access the store or my loadout after getting in the game

I WANT TO THROW AWAY MY MONEY ON THE SNIPER WEAPONS
WHY WON'T YOU LET ME

so my strange equalizer just turned into a strange escape plan. i wonder how much i can sell it for.

4 buds

the pyro weapons are supposed to be reskins, but I don't know whether they're stock

if they replaced everything it would be broken because you wouldn't be able to tell what they're using

So wait, something about pyro would be broken in an overpowered sense and Valve wouldn't want that? Oh you!

Also, banning the Escape Plan, while customary, is going to be dumb. :(

If you craft together burnt shit to get a pile of ash you get a scorched crate when you use it

So wait...no equalizer rollouts at LAN? lawl

So, they buffed GRU and nerfed tomislav. Fucked with the scout drinks to make them even better.

Only good thing was the crossbow buff.

the GRU thing is a nerf
