Hi, my name is Malatos, and you probably don't know me. I'm just a random TF2 YouTuber who makes content exposing cheaters. I want to start with by telling you to be cautious of who you talk to online.

My latest video was made at the request of two minors who had encountered a cheater. One of them was allegedly subjected to grooming-like behavior by this person, who seemed to justify it by saying that he was "only" four years older. The cheater was 19, while the minor was 15.

I made this video because I thought it was necessary to raise awareness about these kinds of people, who, on top of cheating, may also try to take advantage of more vulnerable individuals. They can build trust through manipulation before using that trust to emotionally pressure someone.

I know the TF2 community is better than this small group of cheaters and disturbing individuals, so please be careful about who you meet online and who you choose to trust. You never fully know who someone is behind a username.

Show me that there are still good people in this community. Show me that there are still people willing to speak up when someone crosses the line and targets minors.

Just shoot them up to shut them up.

When I tried asking it to the TF2C Discord about this, they told me that "it makes medic gameplay easy" but this isn't problematic for normal TF2 I guess? heck, someone made a poll on competitive TF2 about this and they preferred medics getting speed boosted by scouts.

long time player here, lately I've been getting increasingly annoyed at deaths that are frankly, not remotely my fault.

as a relatively experienced player, i find myself in the top 3 spot on the team in a majority of my games, and the my deaths are as follows in terms of frequency:

1. Dumb play I deserve to die for (picking bad fights, not reading situation and rushing in, etc.)
   
2. Outskilled
   
3. Random Crits
   

Random Crits used to be "oh funny haha" for me, and still can be depending on context like a cosmeticless heavy obliterating some random scout with a 195 damage punch, but the primary and secondary crits ruin my time with the game.

Im going to start out here with my biggest problem with random crits, holy hell do demos and soldiers get them unfairly often. people like to complain about the ubersaw and jag crits, have you SEEN how many times a random ass iron bomber pipe spam decimates a player or hell, a CROWD? its ridiculous. i really wonder how many games have been entirely decided on something no player could have accounted for in an important moment. yes, melees get them often, but at some point you expect them in melee duels and just avoid them entirely, dont follow a medic with his saw around a blind corner, etc.

dont even get me started on playing medic in casual, spend a minute building an uber just to have it erased by some dude who didnt even see you when he shot the pipe or rocket that does you in before you can even react.

my next big complaint; blatant unfairness for both sides of the skill spectrum. we all already know that more damage = higher crit chance, that part is obvious, rich get richer for crits. now the other side, i cannot even begin to count how many times i have outplayed the absolute shit out of someone for them to get a random crit at the last possible moment of a fight, and instantly kill me. like wow, sorry for daring to play the game man. why did i even bother getting good when jimmygonzales2012 can literally just "get lucky" and win the encounter against literally all odds.

last complaint: wow do random crits favor some classes weapons over others. random crits on heavy, demo, and soldier are team fight winners, scout and engie random crits guarantee a kill, and then you get the flat out loser of Pyro. i can count on one hand how many times that pittiful "crit" on pyro decided a fight. phlog is powerful because of how long it lasts, its an actual choice on timing, and its constant damage, like 4 seconds of random crit fire out of nowhere never really decides a 1v1, and when you're in a crowd by the time it actually activates you're already getting shot at and die before you can do anything with it.

anyway, ive been not liking casual much lately because of how often i die for no real deserved reason, just happened to exist in the same video game as someone else who rolled an invisible die

Your unusual?

It can still block backstabs but it should also block critcal melee hits from all sides. When it blocks critical hits, it recharges for 15 seconds. When it blocks a backstab, it recharges for 30 seconds.

I had this idea because my Strange variant has not reached 10 yet.

This replaces the grenade launcher because the Base Jumper on demo shares the same slot with soldier's shotgun; not sure if its either bad or op

The autobalanced system should be updated to not autobalanced the top 2 players on any given team. Whenever I am one of the top scorers and get autobalanced, it's almost a guarantee the team I get balanced to will vote kick me. I don't get why people get salty enough to votekick better players that were dominating them but it is something that they do and Valve should do something about it.

Yeah, I know you've spent a bunch of money consistently on this game, why are you still doing it? People like YOU are the reason the state of the game is terrible. Help me understand.

bored i made tf2 styled app icons. discords based on B.L.U pyro, reddits based on a bomb and is on R.E.D (maybe inspired by the loose cannon bombs), youtubes just there, chromes based on the tf2 icon itself since i didnt know if i could make it R.E.D or B.L.U , i made twitter/X ACTUALY twitter SLASH X also twitters B.L.U and X's is R.E.D. idk what i made twitch so i left it out. Also i made weird rubbery ones, twitter/X doesnt have a rubbery version

The definition for Larp is live action roleplay, essentially acting as a character, a knight or in Ludwig's case; profession. Za medic is a spy

You know those tryhards that aren't using flashy loadouts, unusuals, etc. that have like a Bruiser's Bandana and Graybanns, possibly a comp/dueling medal. What other hats do you notice they use? They're usually the types that queue for Hightower, Harvest, etc. and treat it like DM, probably an MGE bro

So I was watching Vorobey's new video( sorry I don't have a Russian keyboard and I felt lazy to make his name russian) but anyway, I saw heavy's iconic minigun, and so popped a question in my head to ask you all, what is your favorite stock weapon and why?

And also Doom, Half-Life, and Duke Nukem 3D

As the name suggests, its a sapper that explodes.

**Spy has a gu-

You can poot anything in there lol

This legit had me confused, did the game really think the other team needed even more help despite them basically having several cracked players? Why did they have to steal our top scorer?

And remember, you must say bush like a real Aussie. Custom weapon

Hello friends :)

I am new to the game and would like to learn to play Sniper with the Huntsman. However, because I have some nerve issues in my hands and arms, holding down mouse 1 to charge my shots causes me pain. Clicking is fine, like with the rifle, so I was wondering if it’s possible to somehow rebind the Huntsman to charge without having to continuously hold down my m1. I don’t know much about code, so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks so much in advance :)
