A kobold just two-stabbed a giant to death with an iron two-hander.

I think I need to tone down the power of stabs. Just a tad.

Are you sure it wasn't just a lucky couple of hits? Even a fresh newborn dwarf can cave in a dragon skull if the RNG favors it.

It's amazing. People are selling $50+ items left and right, but I can't find a simple 1 ref strange.

After playing TF2 for the first time since the new update, I've come to a conclusion:

These ducks seem kinda useless.

There's a new item you equip that counts the ducks you collect, and when you level it up, it spawns even more ducks. I've heard a bunch of speculation that at the end of the event, the people with the highest duck counter on their item will get something.

Also, the duckies are cute. They look like the class who killed you, and they make little quacking noises when you pick them up.

I didn't realize this was the oppression olympics.

Really? Bay12 is jumping on the Eric Garner bandwagon? Have any of you even seen the video? Y'all are talking like they beat him senseless with a baseball bat and strung him up with garrote wire. In the video, this was a relatively gentle takedown. He was restrained and held to the ground, then cuffed. He was not beaten, he was not slammed into the pavement, he was not shot. The only reason the chokehold was dangerous was because he had a completely unrelated medical condition.

As for the chokehold itself, it is against department policy, but is not against the law. The two officers deemed responsible have had their guns taken away and put behind a desk. But since chokeholds are not illegal in and of themselves, and they were acting in the capacity of a police officer subduing a belligerent criminal, there is no grounds for criminal prosecution.

As for the "I can't breathe!" statements, criminals do that all the time, regardless of weather or not there was actual injury, because they hate the cops and just want to stir up more shit. It might have made some sort of case if this was a violent takedown, but it very clearly wasn't.

Come on, now. At least the MB case had conflicting testimony, lack of footage, and the cop got off scott-free. Don't let blind rage cloud your judgement. Bay12, I am truly disappointed. I thought the bay12 community was a little more rational than blind bloodlust.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the ambassador actually makes sense for the spy because it can't zoom in and has a somewhat long reload before you can headshot again. it can also take out people in one hit, which fits the spy. knockback is not really a thing of one class. the napalm sprayer would outpeform the demoman because you cant shoot it so its gone. minisentries and stickies already serve to limit movement through an area, and the pyro really isn't that vulnerable if you play it right. the pyro has quite a lot of health tbh, and he's pretty fast.

most of your suggestions seem to be oriented around area denial, and there area already three classes that can do that (engie, demo, sniper). giving it to more classes would just make the game even more campy, which sucks.

The spy knife seems decently cool I guess. and i still dont see the point of the dispenser really. a solly can still bop in and kill your disp.

Ambassador can only 1-shot at close range. Without the damage ramp-up, it only does 102 on a headshot.

The napalm sprayer effect would only last a limited time before it burns itself out and need to be re-applied. The sticky launcher also has more range and damage if caught in the blast.

I guess I kinda had the scout in mind when I thought up the area denial effects. Scouts tend to rub me the wrong way. Never heard sniper referred to as an area denial class.

Pyro only has average movement speed unless you use the powerjack (which makes you take more damage), and outside of flare guns, is exclusively close range.

The battle engie is about not having to babysit your buildings all the time. The mini dispenser can still be taken out by killing the engie, but at least you can take it with you instead of spending all that time setting up in a new spot, again.

Also, the ferguson police are looking into charging Brown's stepdad for the 'Burn this bitch down' comment, which I'm not 100% sure in what context that was in, like burn what down. I guess it might be legit because inciting violence, but then again, heated moment?

I'm not going to make judgement on that because I don't know what the full context was and it was a heated moment and we have all said things that we don't mean when we're angry.

After the grand jury's verdict was announced, he started yelling "Burn this bitch down" into the crowd. The crowd was outside the police station at the time, if what I read is correct.
