@the list of nerfs

You forgot the Ambassador, for a week it could headshot constantly.

It's so odd that sex is constantly restricted in the USA, but violence is okay. (In some contries, the situation is reversed.)

On another note, there is one Sniper nerf that significantly made them less powered: the loss of instant headshotting. The half-a-second delay wasn't always there.

Tomislav still does have instant spin up.

@Shanya Almafeta: You're not fooling anyone.

I remember when the Scout's FAN used to make the scout useful, instead of being actively worse than the default weapon in every single way.

"What is W-1?" - Suicide Pyros that charged headlong into any fight with mouse one pressed. No tactics, no skill, just a comparatively fast character that was hard to kill.

What is W-1?

"pyro is a W-I class? For some reason, I don't get it.

About the nerfs: When the game was released, a good Medic could ubercharge up to three people at the same time by switching heal targets quickly. - If you where defending Dustbowl and had a clan of four people on the enemy team every position was easily overrun by a single uber.

@Dead Herald: Then the American gamers aren't so different from Japanese gamers at all... except maybe on what they prefeer to violate <.<

rofl Japan

[url=#user_comment_67594]@Nap[/url]: if dr activates while taunting you do not go invisible anymore

[url=#user_comment_67594]@Nap[/url]: In all honesty, Dead Ringer is still pretty abusive. Assuming you aren't lit on fire, a good spy can feign death several times over and never get caught. Picking us several kills in the process. Now I am not a good spy, but even I've managed to get this trick to work on occasion.

About the nerfs. Natacha had it bad. She was by far the most OP weapon in game and stayed that way for awhile.

Commenting on the comment about nerfs.

You could also bring up the dead ringer, start taunt killing, and the ringer would trigger and not cancel taunting.

@Karma is "Karma" the name of a cop?

@F2P addict: Yes, a million times yes...

Does decapitation followed by teabagging counts as violation?

[url=#user_comment_67578]@Bob[/url]: Err, saw it on Fox (News that is.) Also, he totally plays Animal Crossing.

True story, I say it on fox.

Also, I'm liking the variety of characters.

Violate... Violence... huh its like they were meant to be together.

The Natasha would have been a better choice as an example for the heavy. Seeing as it's been around for so long and people still call it OP.

Karma gonna hit that violent gamer haaaard.

@<name here>: ...Dalkohos Bar is crap, Hibernating Bear set is meh, although Warrior's spirit is ok and Fists of Steel are rather impractical. So there ya go.

@<name here>: Because Tomislav is the first weapon the heavy has received that is "ZOMGOP!" Natascha was never really considered all that powerful. Sandvich was actually buffed, not nerfed. KGB is kind of situational, GRU let's heavy move faster but at the expense of punching damage...

Can you really include the Tomislav when it was added in the patch that made TF2 free? I think it'd be slightly better if you had instead used the Natascha and how it used to have a perma-slow at any range.

[url=#user_comment_67540]@Simeraz[/url] That's the point. Didn't the verbose condition of my post tip you off?

Someone is still mad about TF2... Get over it.

You know that's a joke right O_o

-Came from the land of the far east, The island of Japan and players of electronic games that came form non-japanese lands but still are interested in japanese culture, specifically, electronic games.

The genuine article or person or object in a phrase who is me, Edtome, is now suffering anger, resentment, displeasure, and affront to such a non-socially acceptable and foundationless/baseless caricature or parodie of players of electronic games that- Continued in next post-

[url=#user_comment_67529]@discrider[/url]: That was a very necessary nerf though. DH in that incarnation was massively broken.

Apparently he never explored enough in GTA games where one can enjoy women...

Now I wanna see David at the Execution and how he'll react XD

The Sniper had plenty of minor nerfs to the way his rifle worked that made a major difference in higher level play. And the Huntsman used to hit people in the direction of the general continent they were standing on.

Why did you not include the Huntsman nerf :(

Also: Direct Hit. Used to minicrit on ALL airborne players. Kept on blasting people out of the air because they jumped, and was far more broken than the Buff Banner was.

She wanted his pole and got his (axe)head instead.

And then, after the body hits the floor, he squeezes a boob.

Sniper:

Nobody cares

DOHOHO THAT SLAPS ME ON THE KNEE

Second screen totally tells she actually wants to be violated. >:)

[url=#user_comment_67441]@daexmachinus[/url] Natascha was not originally designed for countering other Heavies, it was designed for those fleeing cowards such as Scouts and Medics. But I do agree, the slowdown decrease at longer ranges makes it totally useless.

Fuck the bitches, don't kill.

"What [do] you think I play? Japanese games?"
Grammatical mistakes aside, the first thing that jumped to mind for this strip (and the previous) was 'Origins of the TF2 Pyro'.

Only problem with that theory, though, is Pyro's a bad-ass family man, not an axe-crazy nutcase.

The sniper rifle used to be able to instantly headshot after zooming and didn't have that delay after shooting.

@Elia Moroes
now way dude, have you ever read the old ones? the old TF2 storys were sooo much sicker. ill still read this often, but i hope that one day hell go back to the characters and stories of the good ol TF2-story days.

[url=#user_comment_67488]@Kintrex[/url] Yeah! And that giant turtle-dragon thing with inter-racial fetish!

[url=#user_comment_67488]@Kintrex[/url] - Oh, the irony.

[url=#user_comment_67464]@codyblues[/url]: Ok, everyone. Hands up if you remember how sickeningly OP the Equalizer was? Can't remember when they ever nerfed Ambassador though. Still my revolver of choice.

That chick in the comic is kinda weird. Who in their right mind walks up to someone and asks them to not to "violate" you.

She obviously wanted him.

JAPANESE GAMES? You mean like MARIO?!

What, no mention of the great Natascha debate?

[url=#user_comment_67434]@Nixitur[/url]: 0.2 seconds spin up is pretty much instant, heh

[url=#user_comment_67434]@Nixitur[/url] That 70% made it near-instant spinup.

The Sydney Sleeper was nerfed from being able to shoot through multiple people

please note that violate does not alway refer to something sexual

yo this so gangsta

Also the tribalmens shiv was crazy OP.

You forgot the ambassador with its non stop head shot mini crits.

Also, the sanvich.

They nerfed the rocket launcher ammo to 20.

The equalizer was nerfed as well.

All the medical weapons(except the kritz)

The flare gun was buffed and nerfed so many times.

Im still waiting for the SC2 storyline that is overdue.

[url=#user_comment_67444]@AnusShoes[/url]: You must be a new free player. Let me fill you in... This started out as a TF2 comic.

Ubersaw nerf was unnecessary. Bad Spies should be penalized like every other bad player, by becoming free uber. The better half of the nerf was disguised spies not giving medics free health and instant detection with the blutsauger.

[url=#user_comment_67444]@AnusShoes[/url]: There's only been 3 TF2 comics in the last 2 months. Jo's main game is TF2 and this comic was historically heavily focused on TF2. You're talking out of your ass.

[url=#user_comment_67444]@AnusShoes[/url]: Cry some more!

[url=#user_comment_67434]@Nixitur[/url]: Tomislav still spins up way faster than Sasha. And it still has no spin noise which means Heavy can ambush better than he used to.

Maybe you guys don't get that this strip was born as a TF2 comic strip. And later it turned into a general videogames-inspired comic strip: for the bettet, if I may add

[url=#user_comment_67444]@AnusShoes[/url] You ain't the only one dude.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a flying f*** about TF2? I don't mind TF2 comics when they're funny, but this is turning into a one-note "hey lookit my replays" and "this or that is OP" comic.

As far as I know, the nerf for the Heavy was in the Natascha. It used to be slowdown but lower damage but also raising spin-up time? Now Natascha heavies have no chance against Minigun/Brass Beast/Tomislav Heavies.

As far as I know, the Tomislav didn't have instant spin-up. It was just 70% faster than the minigun. Unless Valve dun goofed and instead made it instant when it said "70% faster".

About the boothat, I think Valve is reading nerfnow.
I mean, Joe is also behind one weapon for the engineer if I remember well.

Oh, definitely.

I'm not sure what I should be more concerned about. Jo's comics getting more violent or people claiming headless corpses.

[url=#user_comment_67419]@solid[/url]: SR was always shite though.

THAT AXE IS AN "Unusual Horseless Headless Horsemanns Headtaker"!!!

Tomislav got nerfed. Funny.

Way to get the demo nerfs completely wrong, bro. It was the Sco. Res. that had the early detonations, not the sticky launcher, and you forgot the biggest nerf, the fact that the sticky launcher didn't use to have falloff damage.

His list left out the Natasha nerfs and how the FaN was nerfed to hell, their both alright now but they used to be godly. He also made me realize how all the new weps the sniper got (other than jarate) have been mostly useless, hopefully that changes when i get my hands on the new uber update rifle.

Why did she WALK UP to the guy with a fire axe?

Speaking of Japanese, this comic totally gave me a School Days vibe.

The same update that gave the backburner its +25 hp buff (the one it was introduced in) also made it do 100% damage along its entire range. So just getting brushed with it was like being caught right in front of the nozzle.

Looks like Jo totally called the boot hat from comic #534:

6th!

It's bad that i saw Demonpan and first thought: Demon panties.

I am disappointed that nerf list didn't mention flamethrower damage nerfs (and thus affected backburner) first they reintroduced damage falloff and then the update 118.

"US gamers are smelly nerds"¿¿¿ Really¿! I'm glad I'm an FR gamer.

she said that because us gamers are smelly nerds she doesn't want to have sex with.

First for first.
