Mateo and I just had an argument about critical hits in Team Fortress 2.
Regulith: also every cp_badlands server seems to be either locked, nocrits, or both
Regulith: or empty
[CC]Mateo: whats wrong with no crits
Regulith: dumb
Regulith: crits make the game exciting and unpredictable
[CC]Mateo: I guess you would thing that, you know, "games that require skills being dumb"
Regulith: what
Regulith: no
[CC]Mateo: also unpredictable isnt always a good thing
[CC]Mateo: there's no reason to like crits :I
Regulith: i like them for exactly the reason i said
Regulith: if you shoot a crocket and a heavy and kill him, forget yeah
Regulith: at a heavy*
[CC]Mateo: which means you suck, in my eyes, because the only reason anyone finds them "exciting" is if the amount of kills they get from crits is a comparatively large amount of the kills they get
Regulith: when there's some annoying spy and you crit kukri him, then forget yeah
Regulith: no
[CC]Mateo: compared to the kills they get.
Regulith: i rarely get crits
Regulith: you know, because they're rare
Regulith: you just don't like them because they always happen in the enemy's favor
[CC]Mateo: still though you should be able to kill the spy without crits
[CC]Mateo: and if you cant you have no skill
Regulith: and i do
Regulith: but it's fun to get a crit every so often and get it done quickly
Regulith: because then you know the spy is going "this is bullstuff"
[CC]Mateo: but if you can kill him otherwise why would the crit make a difference
Regulith: and you laugh
[CC]Mateo: and that makes you a troll
Regulith: well then i guess i'm a troll
[CC]Mateo: also if you could kill the spy without crits and then the spy kills you because of crits that makes it all the worse
Regulith: here's the thing: i don't care
Regulith: so someone got a crit? it's a damn game, jegus
[CC]Mateo: And Im saying it's a dumb part of the game. you obviously do care about it to some extent since you're arguing about it
Regulith: i care that you think crits shouldn't exist
Regulith: because they're a game mechanic
Regulith: and they belong
Regulith: it makes the game that more exciting
[CC]Mateo: Did I ever tell you my brown townogy as to why thats a bullstuff reason?
Regulith: "will they get a crit? who knows!"
[CC]Mateo: it being a game mechanic, that is
Regulith: no
[CC]Mateo: If you were instantly killed every 60 seconds for no reason other than because it was a part of the game, a lot less people would be saying "it should stay because it's a game mechanic"
[CC]Mateo: Just because it's a game mechanic doesnt mean it should stay in the game.
Regulith: i can't argue with that, and not because it's a good reason, because it's not, but because there's so much wrong with it there's nothing to argue
[CC]Mateo: what's wrong with it then
[CC]Mateo: you say because it's a game mechanic it should stay in the game
Regulith: not ONLY because it's a game mechanic
Regulith: because it's a game mechanic that can tip the game
Regulith: let's say your team is losing
Regulith: to a heavy/medic pair and being owned
[CC]Mateo: that's why it loving shouldnt exist
Regulith: then some soldier shoots a crocket
Regulith: and pow
[CC]Mateo: because it can tip the game.
Regulith: ...
[CC]Mateo: they have classes and team scramble to even that stuff out
[CC]Mateo: seriously
Regulith: tdude
[CC]Mateo: get someone who isnt a stuffty spy
[CC]Mateo: or get your own damn heavy medic
Regulith: why WOULDN'T you want to tip the game
[CC]Mateo: you shouldnt need crits to tip the game, that is what skill is for
Regulith: "well these guys are losing right now so they lose the whole round"
Regulith: so basically you're saying there should be no luck involved in tf2 at all
[CC]Mateo: and if they have a better team setup and players who are better than your team they damn well should win
[CC]Mateo: no Im saying there shouldnt be luck involved that can kill you instantly for no reaosn other than because the game said so
[CC]Mateo: reason*
Regulith: if you had skill you could overcome most crits though
Regulith: reflect crockets
[CC]Mateo: and if you have skill you dont need crits though
Regulith: kill the person before they crit you
[CC]Mateo: so why are crits even needed
[CC]Mateo: and if you dont have skill then get skill, someone who sucks shouldnt be good
Regulith: this is a never ending cycle and i'm going to stop arguing this bullstuff with you because it's only annoying me
4:13 PM - Regulith: good day
[CC]Mateo: lolk.
Regulith: crits are like abortion, a conclusion will never be met
[CC]Mateo: an agreement has already been met, the supreme court argued and came to a decision
[CC]Mateo: crits on the otherhand were just decided by valve and stuff.
Regulith: but everyone else has different views
Regulith: and every argument is always countered by another one
[CC]Mateo: however
[CC]Mateo: I believe they are similar in one case
[CC]Mateo: the side of the intelligent people actually has factual and logical evidence as to why their side is right
Regulith: hurrr
Not that it'll solve anything, but let's hear some good points from both sides.
