A few questions to people enjoying TF2.

[MiXhæll0]

Hello, I have a few questions from different multiple sections to ask fellow TF2 community :)

1. VAC:
- Which bot has killed you the most times?
- What's your record of bots joining a single game?
- How many times have you seen a bot ACTUALLY being banned by VAC ?
- How much do you think Valve will boost 2 min cooldown from calling votes once you join a server?

2. Maps:
- How long does a single 2Fort CTF game last for you?
- Which map has the most chokepoints that take hours to pass and require 6 medic-heavy combos to overcome enemy demo and soldier projectile spams and multiple sentries?
- Do you think maps should be changed, more open areas added to them and chokepoints reduced?

3. Game mechanics:
- How much do you love being auto-balanced to losing team when you were about to win?
- Do you have a feeling like chances of you being auto-balanced to enemy team are nearly 100% most of the time?
- Do you like dying to random crits, which make worse but lucky players overcome skilled players just because the game console decided to boost their attack randomly?
- Whenever you look at scoreboard and see Tier 8 lvl 150 player dominating entire enemy team consistion of lvl 1 players, do you sometimes believe that most matches have broken matchmaking and put players randomly instead of putting them based on their skills?
- Do you think that casual should have some skill-rating system which matchmaking will consider while looking for evenly experienced players to match them together?

4. Updates:
- How much time has it been since last MAJOR update?
- How long do you think TF2 will last with no MAJOR updates?
- Do you believe the "Heavy update" was a joke?
- Do you think that Valve is busy with trying to find what comes after number 2 or are they just lazy?

5. Characters:
- Do you think that Pyro should get at least a minor range buff so that he/she doesn't die to every Sniper while trying to close distance with literally anyone?
- Do you think Engineers should have their Sentries nerfed so that all points they earn aren't actually achieved by their Sentry that melts down everything it sees within one second (and before even any victim notices it) ?
- Do you think that Sniper should take more skill instead of just standing in one place and clicking on heads that seem to literally "look bloody 12 feet tall" (with square hitboxes) ?

6. F2P players:
- Do you think that removing voice communication for new players is good?
- Do you think that Valve should remove it if it doesn't fulfill what this limitation was made for (preventing bots from chat and mic spamming) ?
- Do you think that default settings should be completely fixed for new players (f.e enabling console by default, enable fast weapon switch, hitsounds and killsounds, etc.) ?
- Do you think that new players (and any other player) should be able to disable annoying taunts ?
- Do you think that Domination system should be removed (at least from casual) so that any player isn't shown that they're literally trash when dueling a specific player ?

7. Community servers:
- Do you believe that TF2 having better community servers than casual servers makes this game any good?
- How long can you stand looking for a good community server without confusing plugins/rules and maps that look as if they were in 4D ?
- Do you enjoy dancing with friendlies for the entire game instead of... playing, killing, winning?
- Do you like not being able to level up or earn achievements at all?

8. Players:
- Do you think that TF2 players are kind to eachother even if they're f.e. dominated, killed by random crit or having their killer taunt at them?
- Do you think that TF2 players are somewhat of "stans" who would kill everyone who prefers anything but TF2 (f.e. Overwatch, which isn't any worse than TF2) ?

THE FINAL QUESTION
You can ignore everything I asked above, but please, answer this question honestly:
Do you enjoy playing a game with an advantages to disadvantages ratio of 1: 1000 ?

I'll read your answers with pleasure! Thank you for your attention :)

[Ämen va e de här? Motorstopp!?]

1.1 I don't know, probably the ones that used to copy peoples names, the Omegatronics kinda suck and i think I've killed them more than they have killed me.
1.2 I think it was on some map people never play, probably watergate and i thing there were 12 or 14, that was long ago though.
1.3 Once or twice. There are many bots I meet multiple times because I can tell when i have muted them before
1.4 Why would they do that? If anything it feels like they have secretly put a trust factor system in without telling because there were some talk about that happening and I am seeing bots less and less. I only really see them when I play at like 4 am.

2.1 I don't play 2fort. CTF in general takes too long because it has the potential to last until the server shuts down.
2.2 Dustbowl, Hoodoo and Goldrush those maps are just one big chokepoint
2.3 No, even though Dustbowl is technically a bad map it's still fun sometimes. I've had some of my best games on some of the worst maps. If all maps were good, there would be no bad map to tell if they're good or not.

3.1 I don't know why they removed the system where it would ask players and only switch someone randomly if no one says yes. Team Scramble worked much better I think.
3.2 No, because I know kind of how it works, It usually picks people in the upper section of the scoreboard.
3.3 I don't like dying to random crits and I don't like getting them either. But random crits are not granted to bad players, they are given a higher chance of appearing for people who have done the most damage. So pubstomping just gets even more ridiculous
3.4 I mean, it's casual. I know being stomped by a super high level player sucks but that happened back in the day before casual as well. Good players have existed for a long time
3.5 Yes and no. But not really, that would prevent a player that has played for 5 years play with his friend who just installed the game to play with him/her.

4.1 Soon to be 4 years I believe
4.2 I really don't think it'll die. I mean look, how much crap has TF2 gone through in like 13 years? and playernumbers are still very high? People hasve said the game will die since 2009 ad it never has.
4.3 No, the fact is it was planned but the developent of HL:A and VR postponed it and TF2 got put in a hiatus.
4.4 You don't know how Valve works. It sucks but it's neither of these.

5.1 No because that's his uintended weakness. Pyro is strong in close range but weak in longer ranges. He is a short range supporter. He can stuff ubers, help engineers and basically prevent the enemy team from having a spy.
5.2 If you die from a sentry it's your own fault. Then only think I think needs a nerf is the wrangler.
5.3 Sniper is a glass cannon by design. The only reason people are so heated over him is because of the bots that have been going around showing what his potential is if you have 100% accuracy. But no human does.

6.1 No, but I see why they did.
6.2 After they have fixed the bot issue I see no reason to keep it.
6.3 Default settings are outdated and should be updated
6.4 No because taunts are supposed to piss you off. If you're getting pissed off by taunts that means they are working. Notice the word "Taunt" and not "Emote".
6.5 The domination system is pert of the balance. If a player is getting lots of dominations he will have more players targeting him/her.

7.1 What are you talking about? Casual and Community server are 2 completely separate things.
7.2 I favourite the servers that are good and that I like. You should try looking for community servers on teamwork.tf, there you can browse by game mode
7.3 I enjoy both, depends on the mood I'm in and what everyone else is doing.
7.4 I think i am taking this more seriously than you are. I've earned almost every achievement and I am on tier 4 so I don't know what you are talking about.

8.1 Every community that exists has good people and also toxic people
8.2 See answer 8.1

Final Question
Yes because this whole questionare is incredibly biased to only focus on the potential bad things and not a single question is about what I enjoy about the game. So this makes me believe that this is just a form for you to cope with being angry at a videogame.

There I took minutes of my life to do the whole thing I hope you're happy with the answers I gave.
