Why does everyone hate random crits so much?

[my bals]

I actually think they make the game a bit more alive by adding a bit of luck to it, why do you all hate them?

[Smugleaf]

Because they can't appreciate it and seem to think that this is some super serious game. They're obviously wrong, of course, since I play vidyagames to get away from Chads and DUDES. It's basically the same reason why people hated tripping in Bralw even though that was the best part of the game.

[stolen hi]

unfair to play against
not random at all
stupid 60% chance to crit on melees

[pathulhu]

they ruin balance by giving various advantages to classes that dont or shouldnt need/have them

they negate any effort put into the game by insta killing anyone who eats a crit

they're unpredictable, and all signs of a crit activating are when it happens and not before

i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate being instantly gibbed it makes me nauseous

Because in this game, I am not expecting to randomly die. In a game like Hearthstone, you expect to lose due to poor luck. In TF2, most of your kills or deaths are thanks to your skill or lack of skill. Random crits are confusing and frustrating because you're not expecting to die, but because you got unlucky, you end up six feet under.

They interrupt battles, favoring luck over skill.

there's like 10,000 of these threads jesus christ just stop
yorue all equally retarded complaining or defending crits just play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game

[Deejudanne]

cuz it does not belong here or anywhere

[burlap sack]

They’re fun and fun’s not allowed in a cartoony game

[Wingman]

Guys, we should all stop whining about random crits. Instead, we should ask valve to implement a new mechanic into TF2: random defense, that would absorb a hit in its entirety at random, depending on how much damage a person dealt recently! These mechanics will cancel each-other out!

There, now this "amazing" comprimise will save TF2's community form being divided!

Its a stupid mechanic that promotes luck in a game which should be skill based only. Its really not fun when you are doing so well just to die by a gibus soldier who happened to get a crit rocket.

[medjed]

because famous man made a hashtag about it

it's supposed to be fun

if you're so adamant that crits are the worst thing ever, even worse than hackers and lag, go to comp and suffer the long queue times instead

[KaszkaManna]

Because your entire team dying from one gibus soldier apparently isn't that much fun.
