However it is useless



Lobby leaders can now specify in lobby settings whether to search for an official dedicated server or for the best available dedicated server. If the official dedicated search fails it will then default to the best available dedicated server automatically

getting lobby system to work is not useless. however bad pubbers are they are the base that all games draw from and lobbies not working makes pubbers not play, the more people playing the better :)

fix flaming hunters. all i ask for

yes, they need to stop nerfing infected.

Useless, valve servers are typically worse ping/performance anyway.

Tank, Smoker and Boomer got buffed. Hunters got one small thing removed and everyone cries.

Now tank moves at 2 MPH through vents instead of .5, smoker buff is something anyone accustomed to using elevation would've done anyhow, boomer buff applies to 5-10% of any given map, and at any given time, you're going to have 2 (often 3) hunters in play across maps where medkits are still handed out like candy and top teams are still finishing maps within a hundred points of each other sans amazing tank play or a quadcap. Yes, the hunter nerf is something to cry about.

To be fair the smoker buff is more than just using elevation - the large cone makes it a lot easier to grab people although it has the side effect of making the grabbing more random if there is more than one person in range within the cone. Hopefully they reverse the fire nerf, but I won't be holding my breath.

i see it just like when they took away the hunter's 10dmg swipe... people cried at first then they got used to it... and adapted to it

I think you're underplaying the effectiveness of the tank cleave & smoker changes, they're fairly big. The boomer one is small and will only affect a few maps (NM1/3)

I do agree that the hunter nerf is bad considering it was either that or quadcaps/tanks for the most part. I thought it needed to be toned down a little (maybe to 75% of what it was, maybe 60%). On the bright side, it should be perfect once we can edit the amt of kits (assuming they did not mean to completely remove it and will fix it later lol).

The smoker change is big, particularly in corridors, indoors, etc. (was really tired when I wrote last post), but it's not gamechanging. The tank change is big against morons, but in the post-patch scrims I've played, I can count on one hand the number of times we've swiped more than one person at a time (against good teams) with tank. Yar fire damage needed to be toned down, but neutered altogether? I think it's a little much. Hunter cleaves got toned down, not turned into toothpicks.

NOW I WILL BE ABLE TO SLAY INFECTED EVEN FASTER.

fxt.
