@@finmin2k Yeah, I've always felt like Kong King is iffy on class balance because the central area is so flat with such long sightlines. It makes Pyro and Heavy weaker than they should be, not that it apparently mattered for this video lol. Makes me wonder if those two classes would've dominated even harder on another map.
I wouldn’t say that 16 soldiers can kill 16 pyros. In the video, they were in the third stage of dustbowl with narrow spaces perfect for splash damage.
WTF? Shooting at Sentires you don't get falloff but wrangled Snetires do damage that does suffer falloff? That is s stupid. And before you say "if the wrangler suffered no falloff, the Engineer would be better than Sniper" I'd argue that thanks to Spy, he would almost certainly be a lot more vulnerable setting up to take advantage of a sightline.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmMicrowav Dustbowl stage 2 blue spawn used to not have the drop down on the left side making it so easy for demos to sticky spam the trench and eventually spawn camp.
10:37 this is just terrifying. imagine being the engineer sitting in the back and seeing the heavies slowly encroaching and consuming everything before deleting you
Engineer and Heavy are the only classes on the game which make a team weaker when spammed, but eventually reach a breaking point and become crazy strong when the entire team commits to the bit
Now I'm wondering about the theoretical "perfect team" of all 9 classes VS a team of all one class, to see if overwhelming them with just one class is actually better in some cases...
It probably is. And I'd certainly say that an even mix of [ideal combat class] + Medic = winner winner chicken dinner compared to perfect even 9-class balance.
@TheDoc_K There is no "opposite scenario" to a perfect balance of 9 classes. The farthest removed state would be "any mono-class team", while a two-class-only team would also be removed but less extremely so.
For example scout probably lost so badly because he needs a lot of skill. In an environment where you can choose class bad scouts wouldn't pick scout, but for sure scout could still be awesome in 50v50 koth, so yes, if you can choose class yyour team would win vs whatever the single class other team goes for.
9:22 bless that one soldier out of the 50 who learned his koth king rollouts, he was just in time to meet 50 heavies head on. I think he lived as well.
Especially if your play play load offensive. Seriously the only way of dealing with 2-5 heavies on the cart is hoping the kritkerg demo can cheese it or/and have a mini team of engineers.
This is actually kinda true even in the 100 player server, sometimes when attacking team roll out a bunch of heavies on a payload map, the chance of them winning does feel higher or at least they will push further until a impenetrable choke point . Basically quite map dependent since maps like pl_dustbowl is still the same where the two explosive mercs dominated.
The reason it has minigun resistance in the first place is because damage against it has no falloff, which is why miniguns are so good at taking down sentries from range.
Well heavy has dps equal to 360 if every pellet will hit. Level 3 sentry with addition of 20% of its resistance have effective hp of 270 and since it is stationary wide target, heavy can deal with it under second. Wrangler increase the effective health of sentry gun lvl 3 up to 648 hp, I don't know if the heavy resistance also apply, but if yes then it is further increased up to 810 effective hp. In basic scenario, heavy need less than 2s to deal with wrangled sentry and 2,25s to deal with wrangled sentry and heavy resistance. Sentry guns lvl 3 dps is equal to 118, which mean that it will take around 2,5s to deal with heavy. If we add rockets that deal on average 100hp, then kill time can be reduced to around 1,7s which isn't enough to deal with one heavy. In wrangler situation Sentry gun dps is equal to 178, which is almost equal to result with rockets cause it takes 1,7s to kill heavy. While technically in that scenario lvl3 should have advantage over heavy by just 0,1s since heavy need 1,8s to deal 648hp, it is down to Engis reaction time and if he is fighting 1v1 and not 1v2 or even 1v50 Also from game perspective the problem starts with sentry reaction time, target priority and how fast Engis can build lvl3 and maintain them (they don't) so heavy has clearly advantage by huge margin. TL;DR - Heavies don't have problems that engineers face which is building, upgrading and maintaining their stuff. They are ready to go and can easily overwhelm engies, cause they ain't fast enough to build themselves up
@@cinex20 important note is that the engineers didn’t have time to set up because it’s king of the hill, and there is no set up. They’ll get there quicker but can’t build their stuff in time for the massive heavy horde.
@@starmaker75 but even on Dustbowl stage 1 and 2, heavies can demolish defending engineers with tomislavs, miniguns, brass beasts and everyone has a health pack secondary. On stage 3, it becomes difficult.

It makes sense. With this amount of people its much harder for individual skill to make a difference. So raw stats become an important factor. And heavy has the best relevant stats here

If someone is coming towards the intel, why not just ask your teammates on voice comms to help? Most of the respawning teammates will be glad to hit them from behind while they approach your nest. the only times I've had issues with this are when a Spy does a sap and stab so the gun is down before I can let them know. Why try to solo it? Now sometimes the respawn teammates are just killed, but at least they usually try. To keep the round going longer if nothing else.
Spy: isn't allowed to play Sniper: loses as soon as the enemy finds an approach that isn't a 10 km long sightline Scout: deals no damage and dies immediately Medic: wins by peaceful protest, killing is an optional recreational activity Demo: replaces the ground with stickies Pyro: replaces the air with fire Soldier: replaces the sky with rockets Engi: a slowly advancing tide of metal and death Heavy: replaces the universe with bullets
Good point, Engineer on KotH is much different, as shown. On Defense, absolutely unstoppable. Engineers never have to push, and on something like Dustbowl, there are covers for the nests. On Attack, Engi does lose some matchups, Great Blue did point that out, I think.
Shounic gave Engy a head start though. At that point they’re on defense and still lost. It’s mostly due to the fact that defense maps favor defenders in fights instead of it being an equal and symmetrical playing field.
Also I’d like to point out that Ammo boxes respawn at the same rates regardless of player count and all of Engineer’s buildings take up space too. This means that having too many Engineers can be a bad thing.
I think Sniper and Spy being the worst picks probably demonstrate the best examples for their roles and what they are meant to be suited for. They are pick classes. Their job is to pick off one at a time, not overwhelm like Heavy and Pyro
One good sniper is overpowered but the class scales TERRIBLY. Having more than one sniper is less effective in most cases. Two at the absolute max. It’s like medic. Medic is the uncontested best class but having more than two medics is terrible.
@HungNguyen-vg1zq ok maybe I was being hyperbolic at saying TERRIBLE but my core concept was that even the most broken classes don’t scale with higher numbers. Two medics is ideal to cover Herr Doktor, But at 3 you’re stealing fast uber and at 4 you’ve entered what the cool kids call “throwing”
They chose kong king because that map is balanced for all classes, because they wanted accurate results. meanwhile harvest is tailored in favor of sniper above all other classes. Why do you think bots are most common in harvest casual? Cuz they are most powerful there.
Still didn't save sniper, because heavies always go to the house and never go on the roof. Once heavies cap the point, snipers get pushed back and flanked by going into the enemy house. I play Class wars alot with rotational maps, and harvest does benefit scouts alot, heavies do get pushed back by scouts and demos, as demos can just jump into the point and spam stickies to get rid of heavies before they get caught and scout has alot of space to jump around in, but it still is a stomp on heavy's part.
Stacking heavy is always the strat in pubs. If something goes wrong, 3 ppl pick heavy and u basically just win since pubbers are not organized enough to deal with that. So it does kind of make sense for heavy to win this one
@@TheTdw2000 the average puber rans out of pipes a s have no meat shields to counter heavies You aren't wrong technically but I. Casual people either run away giving you mad space or fight you one at the time as heavy which is exactly what they should never do I have fight 6 guys and win one at the time and they think oh the heavy is so strong this is bs, meanwhile I'm fighting for my fucking life at like 10-30 hp after every fight but I just heal back before the next genius tries it. If st any point a f2p scout shot me like twice with anythig. Across the map I would have lost heavy stomps casual not because it's good but because people play to his strengths
Yeah the spy failure is because of the higher skill floor requirement of spy to be effective, not because of any Inherent superiority of these other classes, I always run YER but idiots are brain busted about muh speed boost or kunai health and listen to people like great blue to inform their builds
Heavy looks so funny stacked up with a hundred of them because instead of some kind of video game character with a helmet or mask they're just a bunch of identical men
Heavy's weakness isn't his slowness or his big hitbox... It's being by himself, as soon as he has a team around him he is a death machine. Especially if it's a horde of heavy's.
@@januszpolak254 That's true, since snipers counter heavy in the normal game. But unlike most classes, heavy gets an absurd boost in effectiveness when surrounded by even just one teammate. Like a scout doesn't need a team to work, but a heavy? He can't get to places fast, he is a big target and he can only kill so much so fast. But when a heavy is with a team he doesn't have to worry about that, because he will just be shooting and clearing hallways, objectives and so on. Heavy excels in a team but crumbles without one. His slowness and big hitbox are weaknesses, but they aren't his MAIN weakness is my point. A lone heavy can handle some situations by himself, but in most encounters he will just kinda lose. Meanwhile a scout, soldier, demoman, engineer, sniper or spy can go around by themselves more or less. A heavy with a team even a small team is a force to be reckoned with.
@@januszpolak254decent? Nothing is easier than headshotting a revved up heavy lmao. That s why sniper is called his hard counter. You just pick Australian and you can bully a Russian with ease

@@naenae2350 he lost in a setting where things were so stacked in his favor. He's placed in a scenario where opponent can't run, can't flank, can't heal. These are not normal TF2 situations.
I believe why pyro didn’t win the heavy long range chip matchup is simply because you cant stack afterburn ticks inbetween pyros while multiple heavies can chip one pyro. If afterburn stacked from multiple sources it’d be busted of course, but heavy wins the crowd control with multiplying chip dmg
it really puts spy's name into perspective. hes a spy. not an entire army himself, but a spy FOR a team. without the team backing him up, he's basically useless
I'm dying laughing at heavies walking up the stairs all happy and eating a volley of rockets that could blot out the sun. Soldier technically beat "the best class".
heavy is also just a compact medic so that helps, there were many that was just tossing bananas into the frontline non-stop, it was unironically almost as strong as the medic nona-chain of medigun nightmares
Class wars engineer is a menace on payload if he is pushing the cart. If you are unfortunate enough to get projectile based classes, well... Prepare to get short circuited at the payload.
i like how this shows the effectiveness of the classes in the game Spy as single stealth support guy is very effective and can break enemy team one by one but as DPS front line class is less effective and with more than 2 teammates spies his stealth power can be gone Heavy as single is the easiest class to kill in game but when he work with his team or be with more Heavy teammates he start to be real effective tank
It's really interesting that Heavy is so good, despite not theoretically being good at group DPS (no splash damage or Pyro flame particles that can hit multiple people).

@HungNguyen-vg1zq ok maybe I was being hyperbolic at saying TERRIBLE but my core concept was that even the most broken classes don’t scale with higher numbers. Two medics is ideal to cover Herr Doktor, But at 3 you’re stealing fast uber and at 4 you’ve entered what the cool kids call “throwing”
@HungNguyen-vg1zq well my broader point was op class at 2 doesn’t translate well into higher numbers necessarily
Holy sh*t those soldier barrages at the start of the round are truly something to behold
The wave of soldiers bombing at 5:55 must've been terrifying to play against

This seems very map dependant. Harvest would be an example of Sniper doing better.
Fatmagic reference
They chose kong king because that map is balanced for all classes, because they wanted accurate results. meanwhile harvest is tailored in favor of sniper above all other classes. Why do you think bots are most common in harvest casual? Cuz they are most powerful there.
@@jakestaheli8532 that map is definitly not balanced for every classes...
Still didn't save sniper, because heavies always go to the house and never go on the roof. Once heavies cap the point, snipers get pushed back and flanked by going into the enemy house. I play Class wars alot with rotational maps, and harvest does benefit scouts alot, heavies do get pushed back by scouts and demos, as demos can just jump into the point and spam stickies to get rid of heavies before they get caught and scout has alot of space to jump around in, but it still is a stomp on heavy's part.
Also mode dependent. KOTH seems like the absolute worst mode for an all-Spy team, because it involves standing exposed on a giant bullseye.
Stacking heavy is always the strat in pubs. If something goes wrong, 3 ppl pick heavy and u basically just win since pubbers are not organized enough to deal with that. So it does kind of make sense for heavy to win this one
Not enough people play stock demoman. It's very easy to counter heavy by spamming him and abusing corners.
@@TheTdw2000nah
@@TheTdw2000 the average puber rans out of pipes a s have no meat shields to counter heavies
You aren't wrong technically but I. Casual people either run away giving you mad space or fight you one at the time as heavy which is exactly what they should never do
I have fight 6 guys and win one at the time and they think oh the heavy is so strong this is bs, meanwhile I'm fighting for my fucking life at like 10-30 hp after every fight but I just heal back before the next genius tries it.
If st any point a f2p scout shot me like twice with anythig. Across the map I would have lost heavy stomps casual not because it's good but because people play to his strengths
Heavy: being shown 4th best
Also heavy fanboys:
2:00 this is literally why the yer exsist
Spy players discovering that Sentry Guns don't attack you if you backstab with the YER:
Right, but the Dead Ringer was a near must to survive 100 players watching each other’s backs, and the spies couldn’t recloak without losing the feign
Yeah the spy failure is because of the higher skill floor requirement of spy to be effective, not because of any Inherent superiority of these other classes, I always run YER but idiots are brain busted about muh speed boost or kunai health and listen to people like great blue to inform their builds
@@Nikotheleepic said no one ever
.... "The" YER?
Heavy looks so funny stacked up with a hundred of them because instead of some kind of video game character with a helmet or mask they're just a bunch of identical men
They are clone troopers
Heavy's weakness isn't his slowness or his big hitbox... It's being by himself, as soon as he has a team around him he is a death machine. Especially if it's a horde of heavy's.
It is his weakness tho. In normal game he can just be picked off by any decent Sniper as soon as he get into sightline.
@@januszpolak254 That's true, since snipers counter heavy in the normal game. But unlike most classes, heavy gets an absurd boost in effectiveness when surrounded by even just one teammate. Like a scout doesn't need a team to work, but a heavy? He can't get to places fast, he is a big target and he can only kill so much so fast. But when a heavy is with a team he doesn't have to worry about that, because he will just be shooting and clearing hallways, objectives and so on. Heavy excels in a team but crumbles without one.
His slowness and big hitbox are weaknesses, but they aren't his MAIN weakness is my point. A lone heavy can handle some situations by himself, but in most encounters he will just kinda lose. Meanwhile a scout, soldier, demoman, engineer, sniper or spy can go around by themselves more or less. A heavy with a team even a small team is a force to be reckoned with.
@@januszpolak254decent? Nothing is easier than headshotting a revved up heavy lmao. That s why sniper is called his hard counter. You just pick Australian and you can bully a Russian with ease
The he counters his own counter with either two of his five miniguns or the fist of steel.
@@bossbrozork3022 I'd rather say he's making pathetic attempts. Miniguns can't even make a sniper flinch if a heavy shoots at him from a distance of more than 750 hu

In class wars, spy looses his biggest weapon: Surprise. The goal of a spy is for the other team to not know there is a spy at all. In class wars, welll.........
Heavies winning even after letting the Engies build in the point is impressive
"Heavy is a bad class" mf sure have been quiet since this video dropped.

Still lost to soldier and no where near problematic as the sniper.
Heavy needs a buff to his kit badly.
@@HellecticMojolost ONCE and NEVER LOST even with ENGIE start up
@@naenae2350 he lost in a setting where things were so stacked in his favor. He's placed in a scenario where opponent can't run, can't flank, can't heal.
These are not normal TF2 situations.
@@HellecticMojo Heavy needs a buff how?
He's already a master at war of attrition.
Seriously if you can't play well with heavy you just suck.

HEAVY MAINS STAY WINNING
well that's an empty pedestal if I've ever seen one
heavy main is a dodo in TF2's ecosystem
got hunted to extinction by the other classes
I believe why pyro didn’t win the heavy long range chip matchup is simply because you cant stack afterburn ticks inbetween pyros while multiple heavies can chip one pyro.
If afterburn stacked from multiple sources it’d be busted of course, but heavy wins the crowd control with multiplying chip dmg
Imagine receiving stacking afterburn from 50 scorch shots and dying in a single tick
@@blargghkiphorrifying

The Demo vs Engineer analysis was legendary
2:40 “with at least a minute left to go”
Shows 54 seconds left to go
it really puts spy's name into perspective. hes a spy. not an entire army himself, but a spy FOR a team. without the team backing him up, he's basically useless
That's why he's the face of the game fellas.
2:45
I fucking love these snipers acting as shock troopers. It’s so unreasonably funny.
I'm dying laughing at heavies walking up the stairs all happy and eating a volley of rockets that could blot out the sun. Soldier technically beat "the best class".
8:36 opps took the cap roof
Ah yes, my favorite tie-breaker game, Pyro Soldier Engineer.
Our takeaway from 7:00 is that they should remove all classes from the game except soldier engineer and pyro to attain Ultimate Balance
"When you have 4-5 run at you, you just die."
Excellent quote there sir, it is so true.
heavy is also just a compact medic so that helps, there were many that was just tossing bananas into the frontline non-stop, it was unironically almost as strong as the medic nona-chain of medigun nightmares
Fucking knew Heavy was gonna be the highest ranking. Though, the Medic Peaceful Protest Tactics™ did get a laugh out of me.
7:05 new rock, paper, scissors just dropped
The only reason Engineer lost at all is because the server wasn't running cp_dustbowl
They grow stronger in the homeland of their saint.
The amount of rockets and grenades at the round start is out of og gmod
Medic and scout versus is kinda cool though. The medic did nothing until they god bored and began dominating scouts
Your creativity with the Gaben sentence mixing at the end of these is so underrated. Excellent video as always
good to be here
another great video shounic
Immense swarms of players and projectiles is just the funniest thing
I like how your videos are data driven. You run experiment, collect data, and show it to use in nice and entertaining way.
5:40
more like until one blue medic dies and then the medics get their guns out
Class wars engineer is a menace on payload if he is pushing the cart.
If you are unfortunate enough to get projectile based classes, well... Prepare to get short circuited at the payload.
10:10 dude that Engineer got executed
I like how every match gets an explanation/analysis but Engie vs Demo is just "Against Engineer, he can't play the videogame."
Love the pacifist medic strat, especially when they get bored and decide to kill the enemy team.
This feels like a nature documentary, thank you.
2:31 average ww2 reenactment
Heavy is finally getting the recognition he rightfully deserves...
*"Who sent all these babies to fight me?"*
6:34 E thang
i like how this shows the effectiveness of the classes in the game
Spy as single stealth support guy is very effective and can break enemy team one by one but as DPS front line class is less effective and with more than 2 teammates spies his stealth power can be gone
Heavy as single is the easiest class to kill in game but when he work with his team or be with more Heavy teammates he start to be real effective tank
It's really interesting that Heavy is so good, despite not theoretically being good at group DPS (no splash damage or Pyro flame particles that can hit multiple people).
@@btf_flotsam478 Who needs group DPS when you can just target a bunch of people one after another with high single target DPS?
I had NO idea that 100 players were possible now. It looks like such absolute silly chaos, it's perfect
"no way to handle both at once" eternal reward lol
I love how spy is just immediately F
forgot the most important factor in class wars, fast respawns, never seen a class wars server without it
*YOU* forgot rtd
@@endathingHonestly rtd is the only reason why I don't give up on poor match ups as spy or scout.
