It makes sense, too. Heavy’s biggest weakness is his slow movement, so being able to just charge around a corner pretty much just makes Heavy into a stronger Pyro.
The fact that Scout utterly dominates the meta to the point of redefining it several times in so many ways just goes to show how powerful having extra mobility can be in TF2 when paired with access to every weapon in the game.
I posted probably an excessively long response to the survey that was pretty much this. The entire experiment resulted in either powerful classes trying to get faster, or trying to increase damage as the scout
Aside from mobility and cap rate all of scout's attributes are handicaps - tied for the lowest health and weapons that only work at point-blank. Pick weapons to improve those, and, well...
Scout is already close to if not already OP when played by a skillful individual, this only made him more ridiculous and basically turned Team Fortress 2 into Team Scout 2
Scout is already one of the most powerful classes in tf2 with his hard counter being engineers it made sense that him having a 2 shot sentry killer would make him OP
the mental image of a 300 pound russian man armed with a big freakin minigun just POWERWALKING towards you at such high speeds that he's followed by an after-image is mind-blowing
I mean tf2 is just quake with classes, loadouts and no bhopping (yes I know bhopping is in tf2 but it’s useful in exactly 1 situation on a meme class, it barely counts)
6:10 - 6:13 That Heavy is the single most horrifying thing that I've seen in a TF2 match. I'd shit my pants seeing a Heavy run after me with such speeds.
Even the smallest speed boost makes heavy op hence why all his speed items are banned in comp so giving him something like demo charge and I reckon he could solo goku
Low key busted: Heavy with Quick-Fix. Suddenly you have a 300HP Medic running around, since Quick-Fix matches your speed to the patients if you're slower, at Scout speed. Or blast-jumping alongside Demos and Soilders. And since Quick-Fix is a *secondary* he can still pull out a Minigun. Just imagine a Heavy launching himself through the air with a Quick-Fix alongside a Soilder; swapping to the Tomislav mid-air and bombing you.
8:38 the fact that even when any combination of weapons on any class is possible the crossbow medic is still the best for healing really tells how good the crossbow is.
You want the crossbow to become terrifying? Find an all-crits server. With a 100% crit rate even the quick-fix fails to keep up, so the crossbow is the only way to keep your teammates alive. The scary part is offense, where it basically becomes a smaller Direct Hit with an arc.
I ran a tournament to find the "best" loadout years ago. The format was a bit different, it was a 1v1 MGE tournament, but just like this players could choose any base class and any loadout, with the restriction that only engineers could build and only spies could disguise and cloak. This was way back in 2014, so balance was very different. In particular this was during the days of charge turn scripting. The winning loadout, and it was clear without question that this was the best loadout for the challenge, was Heavy with Minigun, Charge'n'Targe, and Claymore. The Charge'n'Targe with turn scripting gave ridiculous mobility, so that no class could escape fighting a point blank heavy. It also gave beefy resistances to fire and explosives. The minigun obviously deals massive damage. The Claymore was there to extend the charge duration, making it even harder escape from the Heavy. I recorded some footage from the challenge, which you can see here: th-cam.com/video/g_QlKgijyB8/w-d-xo.html

"Sniper wasn't good because everyone was so mobile" One of the reasons mobility increasing items/abilities are dangerous. Give someone too many and they can become busted
The sniper is the one who is busted here, literal infinite range and being able to deal 150dmg in 0.2sec (although it does take a couple weeks of pratice).
@@darkcat6530 Correction: Can't hit anyome in the "head" area. A sniper rifle that can body shot like the Huntsman, or if the Huntsman was hitscan, Sniper would be truly busted. It basically becomes the Quake Railgun, and Quake Pros can hit their railguns in that game fairly well.
@@SyRose901 the hard part is that heads are tiny targets that are constantly moving around with mere mouse movements. this isn't a problem in a game like CS:GO, where your enemy needs to stand still to shoot you anyway, but it adds a gigantic skill ceiling to tf2 sniper on all levels
Heavy: "We fight like men." *Charges into an enemy player with his minigun revved, instantly killing the poor soul.* "What the hell?! Freaking speed hacker!" God bless you, Kitty0706, for giving us a glimpse at future technology.
The beauty of Tf2 is how carefully balanced it is. Notice how even slight balance tweaks, let alone massive overhauls can really bring out the scouts nasty side. Suffice to say, had the Tf2 team not so expertly balanced the game, scout would be the dominant class. His movement speed combined with the raw power of other classes utilities would be a nightmare.
Heavy needs a buff to the stupid fucking hidden nerf of being 20% easier to injure with the steak and a faster movement speed after eating it. Why the fuck Valve thought it was a good idea to punish you so much for using melee with a weapon that's literally MEANT to be melee only I have no fucking idea
Skinny gamer here, Pain train scout was the best loadout to abuse the control points, especially on the last points in A/D maps when you needed just a few seconds to win the match just like that.
It’s way too under appreciated. I play on a Hightower server populated with really sweaty 6’s and highlander scout mains, and buying a Natasha was one of the best things I ever did. It hilariously neuters even the best scouts. But if they close the distance before you’re fully revved, you’re still pretty screwed.
I'm surprised spy wasn't better. Cloak with any weapon seems very powerful, but I guess the games were too hectic for that. And then there were the charging heavies. By god those looked terrifying.
Once, I could use every weapon with every class. The quickfix ubers were infinites with any class but medic. The stickybomb launcher don't remove your disguise when you use it ( like a very special sapper, hehe ). You can eat your own sandwich very fast by throwing it and taking it back with any class but the heavy. You can use Your Eternal Reward to be able to disguise, whatever the class you play. When you play any class but spy and you are disguised, your teamates will see you colored as an enemy player.
@@unusualpizza not randomizer. 1 was scattergun 2 was stickylauncher 3 was golden gunslinger 4 was construction kit 5 was wanga prick 6 was quickfix 7 was flamethrower 8 was sandwich 9 was sniper mouse3 was direct hit + attack mouse4 was jarate + attack I was able to get any weapon I want when I want. I even made a script so when I was using sniper, I had the gunslinger as melee, and when I switched during the same life for Your Eternal Reward, I was equipped with bootleger in primary slot. I was able to use the teleporters as spy from griefers to get inside enemy base / spawn, then build my own teleporter exit inside their base. I was able to use a "golden gunslinger" that is a melee weapon that does not remove your disguise when you use it. And enemy will see you attacking without your disguise being removed, leading to confusion and distress. I did not talked about this weapon in the first comment, because I don't know if this weapon is in the game or if it was kinda modded. I basically changed the game mode to vsh.
The charging heavy was such cool idea man It could be legit a weapon for heavy, not only gives him mobility but also makes weapons like the brass beast and Huo long heater super useful a
imagine how extraordinary these metas would be if you built a completely new game with the idea of 'any class can use any weapon' in mind, in no other game would you have a tank class practically teleport into the enemy's face and unload lead point blank or a very mobile glass cannon with a flamethrower outright flambé an entire team
I would love to see a tournament with this plugin, but with a highlander clause to prevent scout rush and a teamwide "use it to lose it" rule (if one player uses a weapon, no players on that team can use it for the set) to prevent teams from picking the same OP loadouts every round.
@@GewelReal it uses some of the mechanics of rando, but why this is different is because you can actually customize loadouts, and thus, not "randomizer"
Yep This needs to be a community server, the thing I would also add is weapon ban, randomly or voted by player Basically removing a weapon from being used in the game can change the entire meta of it
I made a concept for a self-launching heavy melee on r/tf2weaponideas called the knucklethrusters, their stats were: •swinging this melee weapon launches wearer forwards -deals 30 damage to wearer with each swing -45% less primary ammo on wearer. If it was added, heavy could get the base jumper to create a "heavycopter" subclass.
This is the scariest thing I've ever seen, but I love that so many classes are just floating instead of walking because I guess they lack animations for their loadouts
I ended up having a lot of fun as Scout with the Flamethrower/Degreaser, Medigun, and Jag. I just really enjoy being a team player and I felt that load out really suited my playstyle and was very fun (even got a few kills on ya 😋) Thanks for the opportunity to try this stuff out! It was a lot of fun
Port over the MVM rage building bar code, so dealing damage builds a meter, but make it so when it's full the heavy completely drops his rev slowdown and gains 30% more movespeed on top of that.
I like to imagine it as the ripped front part of one of those world war one planes that shoot the bullets from the front where the spinny thing is, after a meter is filled with damage the gun allows you to charge full speed at the enemy
If you ever decide to make another video like this, you should make "what if any class could equip any cosmetic? what loadout would be the most cursed loadout?" for halloween
It's kinda amazing that 6 out of the 9 classes had some sense of utility. Scout for the mobility obviously, but Pyro for the fire immunity, Heavy for the health, Engie for the buildings, Medic for the regen and Spy for the cloak. I dunno what use would have the other classes tho, except maybe a mix health / mobility for demo and soldier
The entire BLU team watching in terror as a Sniper main with the stock Sniper loadout easily kills their entire team from miles away (this includes their 3 phlog scouts and 2 charging heavies):
@@truebruhmoment4667Tfw said Sniper main can go Heavy and give it a Sniper Rifle, a Shotgun and the Escape Plan/Powerjack (You are incredibly oppressive at long-range, you're a 300 hp shotgun man and you can run away with the Escape Plan/Powerjack)
0:18 Quite a while ago there was a bug that people used to equip a minigun in the melee slot so they could use Buffalo Steak Sandwich to get a minicrit boost on miniguns. When spawning, you would simply have NO melee (not a second minigun either) - just a primary and secondary. This was fixed in the November 13, 2014 patch. I remember using it quite a bit on ctf_turbine. This was a different exploit than the 'stand inside dispenser' exploit.
Just from my experience on randomizer servers my first instinct was: Scout with any kind of rocketlauncher, and knife for backstabs with maybe cozy camper or jarate
Rewatching this a year later, did nobody think of Natascha Pyro? Pyro's natural immunity to afterburn plus the slowing effect of the Natascha seems like it would be a big help against the Phlog Scout. You could either combine it with the Battalion's Backup and Powerjack for extra speed and health OR a Shield and the Eyelander if you're feeling ballsy for stacking speed and health.
Wish I could have been there, that sounds fun. I would tried the medic knight: bootlegger, tide tuner, and bushwacka for changing its mini crits into crits. It would be like the old tide tuner before it got nerfed with better run speed and passive healing
the dream i've been having for years has finally come true, every class having access to other class kits i don't mean that like i was hoping for it or something, i mean i literally keep having dreams where tf2 classes can use weapons from other classes. i get one every year or so, even though i haven't really played tf2 since around 2012
This was a fun time. I hope you have like 1 server or something later down the line that runs this plugin. It's always fun to try and figure out that one wacky loadout that suits you.
3:23 convenient of you to show the clip where i missed my reflect and not one of the clips where i reflected a direct hit rocket at point blank... (jk, this was actually very fun. I set up binds for scout with flamethrower/shotgun/homewrecker and flamethrower/shotgun/jag to be a pybro scout.) I got 14 heads as Heavyknight at some point on barnblitz. it was pretty neat.
Hahaha I thought the same thing cause I spent a while dominating as a tide turner heater heavy but aside one clip at 6:27 it was just me dying. But yeah, this was great fun, and those barnblitz rounds were great
It would be pretty funny if weapons that gave/removed health were percentages so for instance, gunslinger (+25 max health) would become +20% max health. This would be really oppressive on characters like heavy, but it'd be fun to see just how broken it is
5:53 I feel like the heavy with a shield and minigun it can become a new weapon, maybe just remove Shield damage and some low boost few downsides and you get your self a new minigun.
Sitting here imagining more meme loadouts and what a shakeup this would be for MVM. For one, the Huo Long might actually pose a threat to the Brass Beast's dominance if heavy could set things on fire himself. Or you could banner stack with heavies. Added bonus: Also apply this to the robots with custom waves. You could do some evil shit, like extended backup Heavies with sniper rifles.
I remember playing a lot of randomizer back in the day. getting scout with a rocket launcher was amazing. I went on so many killstreaks being able to get to just about any position and blow enemies away with a couple of well placed rockets then run away to safety, and come back to do it again. its an unstoppable combination.

The sniper is the one who is busted here, literal infinite range and being able to deal 150dmg in 0.2sec (although it does take a couple weeks of pratice).
sniper can literally just get better. most busted class and videogame archetype

@@darkcat6530 Correction: Can't hit anyome in the "head" area.
A sniper rifle that can body shot like the Huntsman, or if the Huntsman was hitscan, Sniper would be truly busted.
It basically becomes the Quake Railgun, and Quake Pros can hit their railguns in that game fairly well.
@@SyRose901 the hard part is that heads are tiny targets that are constantly moving around with mere mouse movements. this isn't a problem in a game like CS:GO, where your enemy needs to stand still to shoot you anyway, but it adds a gigantic skill ceiling to tf2 sniper on all levels

The beauty of Tf2 is how carefully balanced it is. Notice how even slight balance tweaks, let alone massive overhauls can really bring out the scouts nasty side. Suffice to say, had the Tf2 team not so expertly balanced the game, scout would be the dominant class. His movement speed combined with the raw power of other classes utilities would be a nightmare.
Movement is generally better than health if done right. Since avoiding all hits is better than tanking a lot of them.
Yeah, would be really unfortunate if they added a weapon to instantly delete every classes at any range which is also hitscan.

There's a weapons mod that adds a heavy drill that can charge and does damage close range
Heavy needs a buff to the stupid fucking hidden nerf of being 20% easier to injure with the steak and a faster movement speed after eating it. Why the fuck Valve thought it was a good idea to punish you so much for using melee with a weapon that's literally MEANT to be melee only I have no fucking idea
Both physical charge and a phlog charge meter, both activate with right click
Y'see? The main reason why Valve had to gatekeep weapons to classes was to protect servers of the sheer nightmare that is Phlog Scouts.

Skinny gamer here, Pain train scout was the best loadout to abuse the control points, especially on the last points in A/D maps when you needed just a few seconds to win the match just like that.
I'm surprised the Natascha didn't become more meta with how over-centralized scout was.
Too slow to rev.
@@Chorismos It has damage resistance and Heavy is slow to kill
It’s way too under appreciated. I play on a Hightower server populated with really sweaty 6’s and highlander scout mains, and buying a Natasha was one of the best things I ever did. It hilariously neuters even the best scouts. But if they close the distance before you’re fully revved, you’re still pretty screwed.

You can eat your own sandwich very fast by throwing it and taking it back with any class but the heavy.
You can use Your Eternal Reward to be able to disguise, whatever the class you play. When you play any class but spy and you are disguised, your teamates will see you colored as an enemy player.

I was able to use the teleporters as spy from griefers to get inside enemy base / spawn, then build my own teleporter exit inside their base.
I was able to use a "golden gunslinger" that is a melee weapon that does not remove your disguise when you use it. And enemy will see you attacking without your disguise being removed, leading to confusion and distress. I did not talked about this weapon in the first comment, because I don't know if this weapon is in the game or if it was kinda modded.

I swear to god Heavies charging at you at Mach 10 with the turner is the most hilarious and utterly terrifying concept ive ever seen.
imagine how extraordinary these metas would be if you built a completely new game with the idea of 'any class can use any weapon' in mind, in no other game would you have a tank class practically teleport into the enemy's face and unload lead point blank or a very mobile glass cannon with a flamethrower outright flambé an entire team
Considering the meta is rocket launcher or flamethrower scouts I'm pretty sure they just re-invented Quake
It would be so extraordinarily difficult to balance that most attempts wouldn't be able to do it properly.

@@GewelReal it uses some of the mechanics of rando, but why this is different is because you can actually customize loadouts, and thus, not "randomizer"
Yep
This needs to be a community server, the thing I would also add is weapon ban, randomly or voted by player
Basically removing a weapon from being used in the game can change the entire meta of it
An engineer with a Rocket Launcher for a primary would be fun. You could setup a sentry in some pretty checky spots.
The Heavyknight with a spun up minigun rapidly approaching is honestly terrifying
I now want an item for Heavy which thrusts him forwards like that
For real, it reminds me of those old speedhacks.
how can they use shield while shooting minigun though?
@@UmiZoomR There is probably a separate keybind to it
@@UmiZoomR Russian magic
I made a concept for a self-launching heavy melee on r/tf2weaponideas called the knucklethrusters, their stats were:
•swinging this melee weapon launches wearer forwards
-deals 30 damage to wearer with each swing
-45% less primary ammo on wearer.
If it was added, heavy could get the base jumper to create a "heavycopter" subclass.
Scout with the direct hit + gunsligner and backup for extra health is just Quake.
Like you are literally just playing quake at that point.
We've come full circle
“Phlog scout” is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard of
7:28 The way the pyro holds the knife actually looks so cool
This is the scariest thing I've ever seen, but I love that so many classes are just floating instead of walking because I guess they lack animations for their loadouts
6:31
heavy jumpscare
I ended up having a lot of fun as Scout with the Flamethrower/Degreaser, Medigun, and Jag. I just really enjoy being a team player and I felt that load out really suited my playstyle and was very fun (even got a few kills on ya 😋)
Thanks for the opportunity to try this stuff out! It was a lot of fun
Gunslinger scout is scary but I truly wouldn't want to meet an eyelander scout with 4 heads.
Only problem is getting them, but you can just run bazaar bargain and then switch loadouts to keep the heads
0:50 pyro holding the tomislav actually makes sense
man, a minigun with a charge ability seems like a good weapon design
Port over the MVM rage building bar code, so dealing damage builds a meter, but make it so when it's full the heavy completely drops his rev slowdown and gains 30% more movespeed on top of that.
I like to imagine it as the ripped front part of one of those world war one planes that shoot the bullets from the front where the spinny thing is, after a meter is filled with damage the gun allows you to charge full speed at the enemy
Doom Eternal
If you ever decide to make another video like this, you should make "what if any class could equip any cosmetic? what loadout would be the most cursed loadout?" for halloween
imagine Drip or Drown with this concept
It's kinda amazing that 6 out of the 9 classes had some sense of utility. Scout for the mobility obviously, but Pyro for the fire immunity, Heavy for the health, Engie for the buildings, Medic for the regen and Spy for the cloak. I dunno what use would have the other classes tho, except maybe a mix health / mobility for demo and soldier
Soldier and demo have self blast damage resistances
The entire BLU team watching in terror as a Sniper main with the stock Sniper loadout easily kills their entire team from miles away (this includes their 3 phlog scouts and 2 charging heavies):

0:18 Quite a while ago there was a bug that people used to equip a minigun in the melee slot so they could use Buffalo Steak Sandwich to get a minicrit boost on miniguns. When spawning, you would simply have NO melee (not a second minigun either) - just a primary and secondary. This was fixed in the November 13, 2014 patch. I remember using it quite a bit on ctf_turbine. This was a different exploit than the 'stand inside dispenser' exploit.

I would vomit, shit, piss, all at the same time if a heavy came flying at me revving the brass beast
Just from my experience on randomizer servers my first instinct was:
Scout with any kind of rocketlauncher, and knife for backstabs with maybe cozy camper or jarate
My personal favourite was running booties/targe with the YER on scout since getting a backstab still disguised you no matter which class you use it on
Omg. A scout with YER that backstabs another scout. Enemies should avoid to spycheck you since you're a scout running at normal speed... Oh god
dude scout with a your eternal reward would be the scariest thing ever
6:21 that heavy literally teleported behind you!
Scout an pyro holding butterfly knives like they're guns was hilarious. The janky viewmodels were great in general honestly
Rewatching this a year later, did nobody think of Natascha Pyro? Pyro's natural immunity to afterburn plus the slowing effect of the Natascha seems like it would be a big help against the Phlog Scout. You could either combine it with the Battalion's Backup and Powerjack for extra speed and health OR a Shield and the Eyelander if you're feeling ballsy for stacking speed and health.
If slows worked as intended, this would be true. Sadly, strafing counters slowing.
@@KopperNeomannatascha knockback
Wish I could have been there, that sounds fun. I would tried the medic knight: bootlegger, tide tuner, and bushwacka for changing its mini crits into crits. It would be like the old tide tuner before it got nerfed with better run speed and passive healing
I'd have tried scout with a demoknight build but a spy knife of some sort probably big earner

For one, the Huo Long might actually pose a threat to the Brass Beast's dominance if heavy could set things on fire himself. Or you could banner stack with heavies.
