MvM; the place where you can get kicked for not playing optimally but also for playing too optimally
It's filled with losers who were too shit at PVP so they try to compensate for their bruised ego by killing robots.

Getting mad at a weapon that makes the waves go much faster is like being mad at empty traffic
That is such an under rated quote I love that
Nah but this
Imagine being angry because you don't have anyone or anything to complain about or to because no one or thing is causing problems for you to be angry for.
Anyone with that mindset can't be fucking happy & won't be even after everyone's miserable, fucking disgusting.
Unless it's at the Indianapolis 500. Is this an MvM server, or an idle server?
Why is there always some guy commenting this exact thing on every discussion about the gas passer in MvM
“It’s just damage, you can’t care about balance in a PvE game”
I find it incredible the MVM community manages to make the regular TF2 community look sane.
Compare the whole community to overwatch, WE ARE THE MORE TOLERABLE COMMUNITY!
Overwatch is SO MUCH WORSE!!!

@emperorconstantine1.361 Overwatch has nothing to do with the topic here. It's MvM comm vs regular casual comm.

@@emperorconstantine1.361"WE ARE THE MOST TOLERABLE COMMUNITY!!!1!1!!1!1" *proceeds to talk shit about a random community*
The more I learn about the MVM community the more I go outside and talk to people irl to avoid becoming like them.
That is the maneuver my friend
Or just play mvm and not be involved your self because mvm is actually pretty fun
Finally! the MvM community is good for something!
MvM community is not the same as 2 cities tryhards. There is a significant difference.
And this is why I play on those Potato and Pinepple MVM servers.
I'mma be honest, the only reason I'd ever play MVM is to try and get Aussies, and if I've got a Pyro on my team making that go by quicker, well shit I might just send him a friend request
if I ever get that then I'm sending him a friend request and a cookie.
Yeah, I was gonna say wasn't the only reason people played MVM was for shiny weapons or the frying pan? If the mode is made easier and faster, I figured most people would be happy about it. I'm sure there's people out there that play MVM for fun, but if they're doing that they're probably already self imposing challenges and limits to up the difficulty.
Man I really wanted to get Team Fortress 2 and get into the shenanigans like friendly servers, crazy interactions and go bot bashing. But with the sorry state TF2 is in with bots that are not in MVM, script kiddies, toxicity and effing Tacobot I just can’t find myself to get in on all the fun that was the old TF2. For crying out loud, I got the remastered Dark Souls game on my Nintendo Switch just to have fun getting frustrated with the difficulty and the shot of dopamine from defeating the bosses in it.
Which is funny, because ppl also hate bots and cheaters despite them also speed up the grind.

"Yes"
"So having the games go faster would be ideal?"

"F1."
My thought exactly.
Imagine getting mad that someone can wipe out a wave really fast LMAO.
"xXManRayXx has been kicked"
agreed. maybe the reason they hate the gas passer is bc they are want the kills all to themself
@@Ushankan those who can't get positive amount of kills in pvp
@@Ushankan This is literally the problem. They start applying damage/kill values to their own self worth, so anything that does better with less effort undermines that. The best solution while keeping that mindset would be to say "damage/kills as ", because then pyro only competes with pyro for damage/kills.
Mvm pro people are worst than a hemorroid that is about to explode.
I rather play with the worst weapon and see if I survive and make the run better than do the same to see if I get crap and an oportunity to get a golder bunch of pixels

that happened to me in my last 3 tours
bro its absurd op, why should it be accepted?
The most deplorable part of this is: I have seen soldiers getting kicked for using the airstrike, heavies getting kicked for using the Tommies, medics getting kicked for using something else then the Kritz the list goes on and on (even if they weren't even doing that badly). All in the name of the "optimal loadout" or the "optimal strategie". And now Valve deliveres the final word in optimal and these bastards make a scene.
And the thing is, a highly upgraded airstrike is FUCKING INSANE for tank busting
Thats so dumb, vaccinator and airstrike go so hard
@@masterofdoots596520+ crit rockets depletes half of the tanks hp in SECONDS.
So what I've learned from this video is that in MvM, a cooperative gamemode, people want optimal setups, but hate this weapon because it's too good and makes you win too quickly. Makes total sense.
yes people generally dont like it when something is so good it trivializes everything and removes a good chunk of the fun factor IE killing robots
@@TheGhostFart you can trivialize MVM by clicking "refund upgrades" then about 12 more clicks or so and boom you've beaten every single wave easily. Hell if you really want too just buy the resistances, could probably make it buy with just that and teammates that aren't lobotomites.
@@TheGhostFart Explosive Headshot....you do realize that exist right?
Even without gas passer you still won too quickly
You had explosive headshot and scottish resistence which arent hard to use at all as well...
And lets not forget refunding...
The problem is that ppl alredy got used to the missions they got, if only missions become harder...
So if I’m playing Pyro in MvM Ask if I should equip Gas before hand if people wanna play that way with a spammable get out of jail free card?
A lot of it just boils down to "REEEEEE MY KILLS WERE STOLEN!!", or "PYRO BAD!!"
"REEEEEEEE! MY USELESS STAT THAT NOBODY WILL EVER CARE TO CHECK!"
The only metric I pay attention to is Tank Damage while playing Sniper
Yeah that’s essentially part of it, but as stated in the video it’s also the fact that it undermines all of the things that the pyro had to actually LEARN and do well, Like avoiding taking damage and getting close up to deal damage back, dodging, movement is very important especially since the Pyro is a average move in class
@@XplosiveAction eh true, but hating it just seems pointless. It will never change.

It deserves to be stupid OP in MvM when its literal crap gas in normal gameplay.
Either let it be, or change it for both Casual and MvM cinsistently. Good.
@@Crazylom It could be interesting if it explode in hit in casual, but hell should be doing a lot less damage to not be op

What makes me upset about the whole gas passer hate is that a "small" group of people decided that they didn't like the new weapon and bullied others into not using it, hindering potential experimentation with it. A meta shaking weapon was introduced, and instead of letting the meta shift naturally around this new weapon, they decide to axe it right away (not to defend the poor design of mvm gas passer). Its like when people called to ban Hero in Smash Ultimate when he was released because they thought his random crits were overpowered. Luckily he wasn't banned and a proper meta was able to be formed that showed that the random crits didn't make him the best character.
to be fair, if you get hit by a smash attack, you best be ready to be launched into orbit regardless of who hits you
and funny sword go bu dum dum
also the down b's command list can be an issue if one of the players doesn't speak the language the game is being played in, since they're unable to read what spells have appeared each time down b is used, putting them at a disadvantage
@@khaos4965 the names are all made up RPG stuff, unless it's JP vs EN, you can just memorize it
Thats the hardcore tf2 meta.
6es ruined the games balancing and fun ages ago by Valve pandering to them
MvM is doing the exact same thing to themselves
People didn’t think hero was overpowered. They thought random crits were an awful idea which it WAS. Randomly a smash attack can be a game and watch nine, but hero can’t roll 1. Hero was not and is not a balance issue overall. It’s just very much the BAD kind of variance. Much like random damage spread in TF2, which was removed. Hero still has variance without crits or wack/twack, and that’s be far less frustrating to face. There isn’t counterplay to getting one-shot at zero percent cause your opponent got lucky.
Oh woe is the Gas Passer...
Too useless in Casual and Competitive to be used, taking too much effort to fill and dealing practically no damage.
Too useful in MVM that it makes other players unsecure of their own performance, who then decide to rid of the gas users...
I truly feel absolute pity for this weapon that is seen with such vitrol from everywhere all at once.
When I play MVM I want to beat the games fast. Any pyro who uses the gas passer is good in my book. “Here for a fun time not a long time”.
I like that quote, very short and to the point
unless said Pyro are airblast happy and causes the game to slow down make you miss your shots. its especially painful when you play DPS Scout, Beggars Soldier and especially Sniper.
if people play CTF they want to enjoy a long time(otherwise its questionable)
Gas Passer Best Weapon Ever.
A decent demo, soldier, or sniper can do almost everything that the average gas pyro does, but faster.
While I agree that the gas passer is not a very well balanced weapon, it also works as a sort of a filter. If the team has a pyro using a gas passer that hasnt gotten kicked, chances are there are no toxic assholes in your team. That reason alone is enough for me to accept it.

What always confused me about MVM's attitude towards the gas passer is just the fact that I have never seen anyone else in TF2 develop such a vitriolic hatred for an overpowered weapon; I mean the Phlog and Scorch Shot aren't even banned in most competitive modes, let alone subject to a mass-kicking campaign by the community.
For all the power the Phlog has, any half-decent comp player will know to never touch that pyro with a ten foot pole. It's only really hated because in pubs there's just a whole bunch of goobers dogpiling down a choke that a Phlog pyro with a medic can just go ham with kritz and uber (assuming that there's not a sentry gun or sniper in the way.)
@@dukeofasg3280Or in the modern 100 player mode where it's really the only option for killing enough people to make a difference.
@@dukeofasg3280or they just wait for choke points everyone has to use in casual and gets everyone as well as the goobers

I think far more important than the debate over whether or not the Gas Passer is okay to use is the need for the community to be more civil and polite to each other. Asking a new player to change to a better weapon or adapt their strategy when it isn't working is fine, but shouting at them and kicking them before they're even given a chance is a different beast entirely.
Yeah I was on my first two missions yesterday and I’m a scout main so I looked up the mvm meta so I would be helpful and on my second mission by the 4th wave someone told me I missed $75 and explained how I wasn’t doing the best as scout so I switched to heavy and they guided me on what upgrades to buy. It was a good experience
yehh last mvm few chapps told me to switch. I refused. Even in potato servers it is nerfed, I got most damage by the end.
Yeah that's how MVM should be played. Last wave on a very difficult map, I asked about going Spy because of the sapper upgrade and one of them said to either go Spy or Sniper due to the giant Heavy bots and their Medic support. I went Spy and sapped the bots, allowing the team to pick them off. They also recommended I upgrade my knife too for more damage against big bots. And when we failed, I went Sniper and was a lot better. Even had a guy say on my steam that I was a good MVM player, willing to listen to the team and was strategical. Very wholesome
I always saw the gas passer as the "I want an Australium, fast" weapon. I didn't see it as an issue, probably because it made the game easier and go by quicker. If you are playing mvm for entertainment, then i can see it being a little annoying to not have a chance to kill the smaller robots. But people really kick players for simply wanting to win?
If people wanted MVM for fun they would play it casual and not spend 4 fucking dollars a pop
@@vroomkaboom108
Exactly, if you are going into the paid ticked mode then I assume that you are doing so for rewards and for somewhat optimizing the winning part so it's as fast as possible. If you truly want to have fun go to casual or buy a better team
game like Deep Rock Galactic, it'll probably be even cheaper considering how long it takes to get good drops in MVM.
(I don't mean that in a way that is "either this or get out" but more in like disproving the "fun" excuse a lot of people who hate the gas passer give)
(Also, if you think about it, the true fault of this even happening is VALVE not updating the game mode and not allowing for the creation of servers of this mode where you can place a title like "No Gas Passer 5+ Tours min." so you can separate tryhards from casuals)
Or it's the "the rest of the team can't take out the Uber meds very well" weapon
The toxicity of MvM is a real shame and it goes down multiple levels.
I tried adding some strategies for double mini-sentry to the TF2 wiki (which I know is sub optimal but it doesn't mean those strategies don't exist at all) but they were deleted outright, usually with an angry rant about promoting anti-meta.
Hi! I'm interested
I'll never get the chance to really try it, but I've been trying to get a better idea than trying to pair them with the Frontier Justice; being more of a weird damage class and less of a utility
Begining in the mvm there was an urban legend minies dont proc busters so the team have less swet do defend the enginer... so as a low tour shithead i tought tahts a legit tacktick to bring 2 minies...
what were the strategies you wrote?
@@CGI_Lantern I'm assuming you now know better and that sentry buster will still spawn since it's based off of sentry damage, just that mini series get chewed through fast enough to the point where that damage trigger doesn't get met

things people tolerate in MvM: cheating
things people votekick in MvM: gaspasser
High Tours are a speciel breed of degenerate
you don't use the gaspasser because you think its unfair
i don't use the gaspasser because my pc cant handle all the effects and explosion particles
we are not the same
I played MVM for the first time last night. I had no idea what I was doing and I was immediately told to go phlog Pyro with the gas passer. Now I don't have a Gass passer but I do have a phlog and I had a great time. My teammates were all 200+ tour and very helpful to a brand new player.
Honestly, all of this sounds less of a problem with the Gas Passer and more of a problem with the players who dedicate their time to MvM having as much toxicity as your average Twitter user. Do I think every Pyro showing up to MvM should carry the weapon? No. Do I think getting pissy over weapons and loadouts and kicking the players from a PvE because of it means you're probably a basement dwelling tryhard? Yeah.

@@vanilla8956 Pyro is a power class honestly, sure the gas passer is the least ethical way to show you are to get things done fast but if it works and its within every players capability then in my opinion its fine. The need for it to be nerfed does not outweigh the need for players that auto lock pyro to get better at the class and become more of valuable resource to the team with or without an item that does insane damage.

Do you realize robots are not human right? This isnt casual...
First of all, robots make predictable moves so its not hard at all to hit,they have their own nav mesh to follow unlike humans ,and of top of that most robots move slowly , specially giants which are definetly the main target you want to hit ,just hitting a giant alredy makes more damage than the gas passer itself
And worse of all, for those robots who are not slow, jarate can solve the problem very easily and for emergencies you got canteens which are not rly expensive to upgrade, also that jarate doesnt take rly long to respawn
There is just no punishment for sniper for missing unlike gas passer ,missing a shot or two doesnt matter and missing shots in mvm is incredibly hard unless your internet is garbage

These people, care so much about "fun" and "testing their skill" that they would advocate instakicking people for playing optimally... on a mode where you have to PAY PER TOUR TO PLAY.
*OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY OPTIMALLY, THEY ARE LITERALLY PAYING REAL MONEY TO PLAY THERE* Do YOU want your chance at an Australian being ruined? I don't think so

@@x-blood93 That literally can be said by any side about any _thing_ in any game.
To nitpick, you only pay when you win. When you lose, you just burn time. The video description of "the slowest slot machine ever" is completely accurate. So high-tour players are divided between some people who are grinding to try and actually profit (usually people in poor countries) and some people who are chasing the dragon of that blend of challenge and glory. But when that doesn't work out for either camp, there is always the option to either boot the non-conformist, or drop out and rematch.
@@x-blood93 ah yes i payed $2 just to play a round so that i can get a chance of getting an australium and then later get kicked by some scum tour 2k player trash talking that i use a gas passer and wasted 30 minutes there on wave 5/6
imagine u worked so hard in there and then all of that gets kicked
Damn if you pay for mvm you are a clown. I would never pay for a fucking game mode
Im actually suprised that the website you mentioned had a blacklist for 'no two way'. i play engi regularly in MVM and i don't ever usually pick that upgrade. in my experience if your teams doing well there shouldn't be any bots getting past anyway. and scout and soldier can easily run-down any stragglers with their mobility. it frees up the cash for more building health and damage upgrades. And in-between rounds you can just killbind/switch class temporarily to get back to spawn for upgrades.
it's to buy cantines in the middle of the wave without wasting too much time. actually a really good strategy
It's not about bots getting past. Imagine being on Bigrock on a class like Phlog Pyro or Soldier with a fully charged banner at the end of a wave, and you want that charge to use right when the next wave starts. You have two choices: walk all the way back to spawn to upgrade, probably from the cave, and waste your teammates' time, or killbind/switch back and forth between classes to respawn and lose your charge. Two-way isn't an expensive upgrade either, especially for helping teammates in certain situations like previously stated, unlike something like the extra mini sentry upgrade for very negligible DPS - you could start a wave and have a Soldier with a banner ready to go, or Phlog Pyro with a charge ready to go to quickly clear out the first hordes or make a large dent in a tank if the wave starts with one without needing a crit canteen.
The gas passer is honestly so good and saves so much time.
I was told that a Demoman is far more effective than a gas pass pyro, which I honestly don't believe
Honestly a Kritz Scot demo is much more busted than a gas pyro
@@thebushbros6626 The reason why people REEEE over passer and not scottish is that scottish requires med kritz and knowledge of spawns. It's another case of dumbasses thinking that just because it takes more skill it's okay if it's broken. Much like sniper in PvP

I do use the Gas Passer fairly often, not really because it's optimal or anything but because I have fun using it in MvM, that's all there is to it on my end, it's just something I find really fun. I do understand some points though.
I am neutral towards the gas passer, but I first learned about the hate towards it in one boot camp mission where a couple players "insisted" that the pyro switch it off
Played a two cities tour with a good friend, we had a whiny high tour in our game but nobody could kick him because he was with a friend of his own. Friend used gas passer and it caused the two of them to get so mad they went engineer and pyro last wave and airblasted one of the boss bots with a health bar infinitely so it couldn’t leave its spawn and basically made the tour unwinnable. It’s a shame how one weapon can get some members of the community so upset that they go out of their way to waste the time of people just for having it equipped.

You go out of your way to create a resource like this then wonder why your mode is dying or neglected by Valve?
So let me get this straight (I don't even play MvM except for Bootcamp):
People don't like pyros using the Gas Passer because it... makes the game easier and more fun for new players, allows new players to make a significant contribution to the game and allows your team to win faster?
And their reaction to new players having fun yet also playing optimally and the team easily winning a wave is... to complain about the player online and prevent them from joining MvM teams?
Yep, I'm glad I don't play Mann Up.
Okay here's the thing tho, the gas makes it TOO easy. Like, imagine if you downloaded an mmo, and had someone help you beat the game while you did nothing. Kinda unfun, right? That's what the gas feels like. If high tours only wanted to get the wave done quick, they'd download aimbots (Because valve doesn't have a functional anticheat god damit) and maybe a Pyro for tanks. People with over 15 tours play it for fun, not to sit back and let the Gibbus Pyro solo the wave.
@@aprofessionalgamer5355 That opinion is subjective to the people, sometimes being overpowered IS fun for people, and thus those sorts of players should play with others that like that, it's better to just segregate communities on this situation rather than have them comingle.

@@aprofessionalgamer5355 hah! You act like I got freinds
I was originally going to go on a long essay breaking down why each of these points are incredibly stupid. But halfway through, I realised something:
MvM elitists will create entire websites, countless forum threads and long ranty "guides" to "weed out the worst" from the funny robot-smashing paid side-mode in a free game. They create total circlejerk communities full of people who, quite literally, believe the exact same thing as them...
...yet they somehow can't pick 5 of these people who meet their exact requirements for an "ideal MvM player" and party up with them.
What?
The secret is that sometimes, the stated reason for being an asshole is an excuse, and assholery itself is the real end goal.
They can't form a team within the community because no one with this kind of mindset is willing to play support.
If I've learned anything from TryHards, it's that the only people TryHards hate worse than regular people are other TryHards.
Nowadays I see a lot of high tours accepting the weapon being used more and more. The issue is now HOW it is being used. A lot of new pyros are throwing it out as soon as it is charged instead of saving it for higher priority targets. If it is being used by a smart player that puts in the work to take out uber medics and huge waves of crit soldiers/heavies, then I very rarely see high tours comment on it. It's just an easier to use version of sniper explosive headshots, which nobody complains about.
You know something’s trolly when a group of people literally fight for the rights to a balanced fight for AI
Honestly, this is why I'd rather play with friends in MvM more than random teammates, because they don't have a problem with the Gas Passer
Hell, one of them even recommends it and they're more experienced at pyro than me, even gave me advice on what loadouts to use and what class
Thus, my first ever tour was actually pretty easy and fun

I don't find the Gas Passer boring. It's always funny watching huge groups of small bots just... disappearing. Plus, I want to get a tour done in a reasonable amount of time, which the Gas Passer helps do. Plus, it does the same thing as a sticky trap or an explosive headshot, so I don't understand any argument against it except the "it takes no skill" argument.
And no, you don't have to memorize robots for the Scottish resistance. I've absolutely carried tours with it by detonating it based on reaction. Maybe it makes it easier if you memorize it, but you don't need to.

As a medic main, I love the gas passer
It is the perfect weapon to make MvM funny to us, players who wants to chill. I usually do the following: I enter a match, instantly lock on Pyro and state that I will be using Gas Passer, and anyone who's against it can leave. After all crybabies left, I swap back to any other class I wish to play (usually Scout or Medic, or even Pyro with Gas Passer if I'm really on the mood).
PS: Yes, I do my job pretty well when playing as Pyro on an MvM tour. So yeah, I can stand up to what I'm saying here.
I think we can agree that using the gas passer and finding out the “explode on ignite” upgrade for the first time was the most fun we had in a while.
Especially before they nerfed it. Holy fuck Ghost town was fun with that abomination
If the gas passer loses explode on ignite even if it was given a slow upgrade like the mad milk, it would immediately drop to c most likely d tier
I did not have the pleasure to use the gas passer before the nerf but I remember the first time using it and it was so fun
But Sniper headshot explosion is still more broken
@@Ultra289 it does less damage for higher cost, wtf are you talking about? skill argument aside, the gas passer also is unlockable by achievement, unlike the most optimal sniper rifle for explosive headshots
“The best solution to a problem is always the easiest.”
-GLaDOS
Indeed, yet pro players somehow think that killing Robots with the single most overpowered secondary is hard.
I'm using the gas passer just despite high tours. It makes the waves faster and helps alot especially in mecha engine where not many people actually know what to do
i was playing a game with full high tours who spent the whole game insulting each other for having low damage or low points. it was so inanely insecure it hurt.
It’s surprising how the Gas Passer is so polarizing between MVM and the normal game. In PVP, the Gas Passer is so bad, but in MVM, it’s so overpowered, and the perspective on it shifts so much from that.
On the contrary, it’s actually quite common for weapons in this game to be like that.
The fact that TF2 players are crying because they can't get enough digital points that mean 0 jackshit than a brainless Pyro is soothing in the eyes lol. Good thing I quit TF2 fandoms. The toxicity is average League of Legends player levels and it's NOT an exaggeration.

"i hate how there is no traffic in the road" basically
If you’re mad someone has a higher damage number than you in a PvE mode you need to reassess your life priorities.
Being a medic main, i get the same amount of flack and hate when i heal a pyro using the gas passer in MVM.
It got to a point where me and the gas passer pyro i was healing got kicked out of the game for just hogging the kills.
This kind of shit is why I switched my main class to Sniper.. I don't have to interact with the team, snipe groups of ennemies and slow scouts and as long as I do my job proprerly, the players will leave me the fuck alone
I remember this one mecha engie we had a sniper join and people wanted to YEET him for the sin of trying to snipe but we told them "let them play then we will kick if bad" and sniper mowed th bots down cuz he was a Plat ranked sniper.
Once he blew the test we had him and um it got really boring but we were making fun of instant kick mcgee so that was fun
Imagine kicking your medic and best damage dealer mid run, limiting yourself to a team of 4.
They basically destroyed themselves better than the robots did.
@@Apolleh Kick the Medic is absolutely stupid. Especially when simply asking no parser would have solved the issue from the start.
I was scout on a game and I felt like playing Pyro last wave. I asked if the parser was okay, they asked me not to use it, I equipped the detonator and the game ended fine
so what i'm taking away from this, is that, the reason the gas passer became hated was it made the high tour players that spent forever 'optimizing' feel stupid because it allowed less skilled players to suddenly preform on par with them or carry teams, as if MvM wasn't a massive cesspit of elitism, toxicity, and idiots who thought using the optimum weapon made them good even though they where trash and couldn't hi the broad side of a barn.
No, because it means pyro players will never learn how to play without gas, and most of the challenge in certain waves is suddenly gone.
It is genuinely satisfying to beat a difficult wave by your and your own team's merit, rather than abusing a broken mechanic that Valve missions weren't designed around.
Let's say one day, an update for Half-Life 2 drops that makes the SMG instakill and gives it explosive bullets, where the explosion also insta kills and there is always an invincible NPC on your side that follows you with this SMG. Do you think the game would be more fun? Do you think that, if the game had released with this, it would have been as praised as it was?
@@bernardonegri5416 Thank you for proving my point.
See nothing about your comparison is fitting because Half Life 2 is a single player game and nothing about the gaspasser makes anyone invincible in the game. So that's just a bad comparison 1 to 1.
So instead of coming up with a good comparison of PvE mechanics you pick the biggest game you could think of and tried to act like this one item suddenly ruins everything. If you want to make a team to win via merit you would have a team, however the gas passer is clearly designed for randoms by people who just want to get the rewards specially cause of how often they do tours.
So again a 'pro player' being salty that someone can pull weight for a random team and getting salty that 'lesser players' get to do well just by playing a mechanic valve added.
@@KenshiImmortalWolf There is no difference between singleplayer games and multiplayer games in that the ultimate purpose is to have fun.
It does make a very significant impact on a game, especially on certain waves. I've seen bootcamp teams who were struggling on wave 1 suddenly start steamrolling the robots once someone equipped the gas passer.
If people just want to get the rewards as fast as possible, why do so many people hate the gas passer?
Point being, MvM players want to have fun, and the gas passer ruins that fun by eliminating challenge.
@@bernardonegri5416 I have never seen someone show such a massive ignorance of gaming in their first sentence.
"There is no difference between single player and multiplayer" Once you say this it doesn't matter what you say unless the answer is "in that they are both games." For that is the only immediate thing they have in common.
It's like saying "There is no difference between doom eternal and minecraft."
To say that they are no different in their ultimate goal is to have fun is 'true' but it's such a blanket statement that it doesn't Mean anything in a real debate. Mostly because there is no 1 type of 'fun' as what i want to enjoy and have fun doing in a single player game, such as to pick at random breath of the wild, and a multiplayer game such as to pick at random, rocket league, are so very different.
However let's address the rest of your comment because it deserves that much even if you shot yourself in the foot with you're opener.
As for "Why do so many people hate the gas passer." Because Rageful few are often loud and seem more numerous then they actually are because they make an effort to come off as speaking for a majority when they rarely are. Also "if they just want to get through quickly why are so many people angry at the gaspasser" This is to consider that these two groups are the same. They are not. The people who hate the gaspasser are not the same people who want to just get through the tours the absolute fastest atleast consciously.
People who just want the rewards tend to not give two shits when a gaspasser is on the field and those that want to do it quickly but bitch about the gaspasser do not actually want to get through quickly they want to get through it 'the skillfull artful way of mastery' which is just fancy speak for wanting to not feel like they wasted their time which is an entirely internalized position.
"point being MvM players just wanna have fun and the gas passer ruins this." Oh i'm sorry i wasn't aware you where the chosen ambassador of all MvM players.
No You want to 'have fun' and 'have a challenge' which stops being a challenge once you beat it the first time because once you actually beat it you've over come it specially if you're playing with an actual coordinated team, if you fail past that point it's due to poor team work and that isn't a Challenge that's just obnoxious.
@@KenshiImmortalWolf Neither of us can speak for the majority of the playerbase. You are right in that. However, I am confident most people who dislike the gas passer share a position similar to mine.
I could also say that people who like the gas passer are a "Rageful few that are often loud and seem more numerous then they actually are because they make an effort to come off as speaking for a majority when they rarely are". Neither of us can say what ratio of the playerbase approves or disapproves the gas passer.
In a sense, Half-Life 2 single player is indeed pretty similar to MvM TF2, disconsidering that one is SP and the other is MP. Both are shooters, linear, PvE game(modes) where you fight AI controlled enemies.
It is not "not feel like they wasted their time". It is because people genuinely enjoy challenges, and the gas passer takes away that enjoyment. That is why we have multiple difficulty levels. People who just want to steamroll robots can play on Normal and Intermediate and people who want a challenge can play Expert. But if Expert becomes Intermediate because of it, there are gonna be debates. And some people like tacobot (not that I support them in any way) are gonna start kicking others on sight.
Due to TF2 being multiplayer, the challenge keeps going even after you beat it once, because never two times you play are going to be exactly the same. And that is what I find fun, adapting to the weaknesses and strengths of your team. Not using overpowered mechanics to make Expert feel like Intermediate. If I wanted to play in a difficulty similar to Intermediate, I'd play Intermediate.
I couldn't care less if it is done via "the skillfull artful way of mastery". I just want Expert to feel like Expert and Advanced to feel like Advanced.
In your 1st reply, you argue that the gas passer EoI only exists so randoms can complete tours faster. I say that is not good enough to justify its existence. The rewards at the end of each tour should be a bonus, not the sole goal. Of course, for Valve, it is the sole goal, and that is a conflict of interest communities like Potato and Moonlight solve.
My point: people who just want to wreck robots can play on Normal and Intermediate, and people who want challenges can play on Expert. People play on expert because it is challenging, and gas (and other OP mechanics) ruin that challenge. Playing for loot shouldn't be a thing.
As a pyro main i LOVE to use the jetpack. It improves the mobility of pyro SO much.
I think what I find most amusing about the taco bot blacklist is that unless they somehow manage to get Valve to endorse it and add it to the landing page of TF2 for all to see, or somehow get it onto some other publicly visible message board, no one but them can see it. Meaning it's a bunch of unreasonably-upset individuals ciclejerking (I think I used that term correctly? I'm not super savvy in internet terminology.) in their own little chat rooms about people being 'monkey' or 'ape' or 'slave'.
I just want to say that low tour ≠ bad player/less experience. It might just mean they don't want to spend money on a gamemode. You can play lots of boot camp (the free mode) and become experienced with the game, but you don't spend money to buy tickets. Mann Up is not the only way to play mvm, so tour count should not be a way to measure a players experience
Yeah, i got only one tour and i'm good at the gamemode since i'm always playing on moded wave 666 maps.
Yeah
I’m (imo) great at mvm
But only really at knowing what to shoot and where to position myself, not at the memorizing the waves
Badge deleters exist too, as well as people who either leave last second or complete the same missions leaving only one not done. Smurfs, etc. I've came across a lot of "low tours" who play like they have several hundred
I play mostly community, but I used to play Mann Up loads...My trick was, though, that I just didn't finish a tour. I left one mission undone. This meant I could play the best maps consistently for fun. The problem, you might notice, is at some point people just don't believe that you've played as much as you claim because a number didn't tick up on a virtual badge...and so, after a certain point (probably around a year or two after Two Cities) it just became impossible to play with folks who weren't, at least seemingly, on the same tour count...even if I had played far more than your average player at the time.
At this point, though, it's just not worth it. Finishing those old, undone tours to rank up feels a waste of time and money; dealing with Tacobot and its ilk is a waste of sanity; and having to justify one's self to strangers in order to play a video game is a waste of one's own self worth. At a certain point the Mann-Up community became too much for the average player and so, now, the average players of today are the ones who have been playing for a long time--not new players. It's a dying community in a sense as new blood is stifled far before it gets invested.
Community servers are a whole other thing, though. Removing the loot element (minus the cool badges) and adding moderation has made MvM something anyone can enjoy again without having to enter a 4chan shouting match if they don't play to exact specifications. It's nice. You won't get anything super valuable out of it, but it's far more worth one's time at the end of the day...and you also don't spend money every time you play a game...so, that alone is a win.
@@Jarethenator you're not wrong. It's why at a certain point I wonder what people like that think they are accomplishing by scaring off people. For a game to thrive, it needs to have little barrier of entry. If it has so much of a barrier, then it'll just slowly die out on its own as it becomes some exclusive club where I sure hope you enjoy beating each other off, and believe me when I say most of the Mann Up players despise each other; you can check yourself by casually browsing mvm lobby
Mind you, internet ego doesn't help when you try to point out things to people either, making it difficult for the old blood to want to deal with the new blood. Still, MvM isn't so demanding that it warrants such a power trip from people when the janitor and two office plants that maintain TF2 can clear a mission.
Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion, I really think it’s childish to get so pissy over one weapon, especially when you’re playing MvM for the loot (I can understand that it neuters the game if you’re trying to have fun, even then though, it’s not going to solo the whole wave).
I personally have no problem when Pyro’s run this as I don’t think it does any harm (and it’s by far Pyro’s best secondary weapon, not like there was much competition in the first place.)
I always laugh when I see high tourers get so angry on this topic because it just seems like they have nothing to complain about. It could use being taken down a few pegs if people really wanted it but because the people who do have a problem with it is such a vocal minority that it’ll never happen.
@@Tom-cj5wt Pyro is upgraded properly can still be a useful class, even a niche med picker with the third degree. if he had robots aggro into teammates and has HoK, Pyro is better for close range deeper in enemy territory than Heavy is due to Pyro's mobility.

But really ticks me off about this and the whole kicking people for using it it's happening in boot camp the no rewards just for fun game mode.

7:13 as soon as I got to this part it played an ad for a company called ego💀
I always felt like how they could improve the gas passer, for both mvm and pvp, is to make explode on ignite innate, but significantly lower the damage, but for mvm give it damage upgrades, allowing it to return to it's former OP glory, but costing significantly more. Maybe make it 500$(same as the grenade launcher) per damage upgrade to offset the ridiculously strong effects. Just my two cents.
Reducing the damage to 70(?) damage (plus afterburn) and add 500 cred damage upgrades (similar to stickybombs) sounds like a good idea to me

Part of the appeal of MVM is the cooperation aspect - everybody has a role.
Gas Passer just invalidates majority of the classes and makes teamwork not required, and this is TEAM fortress.
Gas passer's uber medic killing capability makes Demo and Sniper redundant.
Gas passer's crowd clearing makes soldier redundant
Phlog lets pyro keep up with even heavy in terms of damage.
It all just makes playing the game very boring and unrewarding. This might be fine for people who only play mvm to gamble, but I play mvm to have fun and work as a team. Gas just makes it really hard to do that, since all it takes is 1 competent player with gas to make him the solo carry.

Tl;dr: People are jealous of Pyro and don’t think he should be a viable class.
This is also with the airstrike soldier tactic in mvm. I was an airstrike soldier with parachute and I did a lot of teamwork and at the end where we won without much hassle someone goes like "parachute is trash because you're not buffing your entire team with minicrits due to your selfishness"
Havent played MvM in awhile, but I actually saw a tacobot use the gas passer in the match I was in
he's no longer with tacobot, so I wonder why that happened.
good for him :)
I feel like tacobot shit on him for using it and (maybe) fired/kicked him out
Having not played in years and just going off what I vaguely remember, I thought the answer would've been that it takes the fun from the other classes because the pyro kills everything instantly
for everybody else: yes
for high tours only: no
The thing is that it doesn’t destroy certain huge bots well at all,
talking about the gas passer in mvm is like talking about politics at a thanksgiving dinner
In summary I feel like it's because as MvM becomes easier for high tours, it becomes a "Damage competition" with bonus loot at the end. If some pyro can do as much damage as a demo and 3 crit canteens with only 400 credits, it'll feel like undeserved dopamine.
While I agree gas passer is still the dullest, most boring weapon, but I'd argue Scottish Resistance is VERY close to this.
At best it requires the barest of minimum of one teammate communicating with you telling you where to put stickies (or you can memorise it ofc) but after this, Scottish Resistance IS near as boring as gas passer.
Only Sc. Res is more of a boring giant killer then hoarde killer, so in a way it's still more fun since players can still have fun by killing smol robots, plus most giants(Especially in custom mvm) can survive crit stickies
I dislike the gas passer, and really dislike stickies due to the fact that they instakill robots, which takes away need for teamwork, the reason I like TF2. At least the explosive headshot is fun to use
I sometimes run the Gas Passer (I get told off if I use anything else but then again I get told off for using it) but keep it in reserve for if someone's about to die.
eh; the ability to have 15 stickies i can explode selectively; rather then 8 all at once. people love to shit on the gas passer; but between all the other "why is this here in your loadout?" i don't question a demo who uses a resistence right.
"boring" i don't understand the reasoning. the default sticky is just shoot n explode. the resistance you literally have to remember shit. soooo... less is more? okay.
The Scottish Resistance is only really a problem because the missions are old and stale (and slow-paced), and too many people have memorized them. All sorts of cheese gets discovered when missions sit for 8 years with no updates. Set a Scottish Resistance Demo in a new, fast-paced mission he's never played before (e.g. Operation Binary Blackout, Operation Digital Directive, etc.), and he's not a problem anymore.
"It's an injustice" is the most melodramatic thing I've heard in a long time, especially for a game in shambles the way this one is.

Sorry for the long wait on this one guys. Discussion around the gas passer is extremely common yet I haven’t seen anyone make a video that covers a lot of bases, so I felt I had to take up that mantle and hopefully I did it justice. I fully expect to see comments calling me a toxic elitist high tour, and seconds later finding some calling me a carried gas ape. Such is the life of a content creator I guess. For me personally, I literally could not care less if a pyro wants to use gas, this video was just made with the intent to explain to the community as to why others have an issue with it, not me.
As a quick note, when I uploaded the Beggars video I had 75 subscribers. In less than a month we’ve nearly 20x’d that number. I was not expecting this at all, but I’m nonetheless incredibly grateful. I’ll try my best to be more consistent for you guys, thanks
The mysterious ways of the CZcams algorithm. As much as it's shoveled trash into my face, it certainly sifts out a gem like this channel every once in a while.
All hail the banana lord
The power of uploading tf2 videos.
@@LegoFan9o5 True, imagine getting angry on one weapon that deals with crowds easily, making all the waves FASTER so you can get to your loot FASTER
I wonder lmfao
I don't play tf2 because of having no friends who play and being new to it (didn't play on pc until 2017 due to being poor and a shit job). As a completely new person who learned what they know from jumping into random servers and casual matches. I don't know anything about meta besides from what I've heard from tftubers. I haven't played in three years due to not feeling like wading through an ocean of bull crap to look for a few pearls, yet I still enjoy hearing about the game. This wasn't related to the video other than: I'm new, I dropped tf2 due to the community being toxic 60% of the time (at least for me) and I am likely one of the people who'd get hated for using gas passer. (Why get mad? Why the kicks? Just explain to me using logic, reason or at a base level, not just spraying spit and shit at me and expecting me to decode and decipher the ancient meaning of 'monkey pyro' 'muh damage' and shit like 'just tape down your arrow key and left click, it's what your doing anyway'.. like fuck, just tell me 'listen, your gonna die a whole lot if you keep doing that, if you stand in the corner over their and circle bigger bots your much more useful to the team, and could you not use the gas passer unless we are getting swarmed? It kinda takes the fun out of it. You'll figure it out as you go, fingers crossed we get some aussies'
Like dude, it’s 4am, I just want to finish this final mission and see if I get an Aussie…let me use the gas passer.
I do want to learn the other pyro secondaries, I assume flare guns are your best option but I have yet to test that. Any suggestions Weezy?
"I wanna go through the game as quickly and efficiently as possible so I can get items, so if you don't go meta I'll kick you."
"NOOOOO YOU CAN'T START THE GAME UNTIL YOU KICK THE GAS PASSER PYRO IT MAKES THE GAME TRIVIAL AND TOO EASY!!! I'M A MANCHILD WITH CONTROL ISSUES WHO HATES WHEN OTHER PEOPLE HAVE FUN!!!!"
I actually did a survey when I kept playing MVM (I like expiraments and I quit because of the nuclear waste that is the MVM community). I played primarily 3 Classes that I was the best at: Soldier, Medic, and Pyro. I just wanted to see how often I got kicked as each class out of 10 matches as each AND I had the meta loadouts for each
Medic: only once because I rebound my keys and I couldnt activate the shield to save my life
Soldier: only got kicked 3 times because of MG (im sorry I want to be flashy at one point)
Pyro: 7 times just because of Gas Passer.
after the survey I just decided that MVM wasnt really worth it afterwards since money and I know my luck.
As someone who only plays MvM solely for the rewards, the gas passer is a godsend that allows me to just sit back most of the time while the Pyro does the bulk of the dirty work.
You have the most commen sense out of any tf2 player i have found, you see from both sides of an argument without bias you are a gem of a tf2 creator.
Hating on the gas passer is like hating on being gifted a free kill streak
Remove the recharge upgrades.
Add the explosion into the normal game.
Reduce the explosions damage.
Replace the 400 credit "explode on ignite" with a 200 credit upgrade that increases damage back up to the 350 damage explosion after 3 or 4 upgrades.
Boom
Problem made less stupid
Gas passer now less awful in the normal game.
hire this man
@@Lucafont yes
I love the "abandons every single game for an unexplained reason" report from someone who I can guarantee has tacobot in their name. If I see a tacobot in the game join I just leave
Once, I had this round where the team prioritized fun, not the mission (Boot camp). It was really enjoyable. It was also 2 hours long.
People hate it because its op? logic
All logic left them long ago
One thing i find really weird, is that of all the classes, pyro was always the bottom tier class, at least since two cities. Some would put spy on the same tier, but not all, though it may be because those people were good at spy.
Only since jungle inferno and mainly the gas passer cheesing much of a wave, have anyone really come to do... anything for or on pyro in mvm, and even getting a chance to practice pyro in MvM was/is extremely difficult, as people before thought you were throwing a match for picking him, now its either still that or you are being too good and have to get kicked. I just dont get the hate for the weapon or for the class really.
pyro is a good class in mvm, he just gets bad rep because new pyros are infuriating to play with.
spamming airblast and knockback for no reason, accidentally blowing up the engi's buildings by pushing around sentry busters, running headfirst into a giant heavy and dying in 0.3 seconds.
a lot of people just dont know how bot aggro works. its the same reason why people think spy is trash, except you see less people play spy because new players dont wanna play as him (too complex).
i guess thats why people hate the gas passer. why would new pyros learn how bot aggro works when they can just throw gas, kill 10 giant heavies, throw themselves into giants and die, and still get a good damage score?
Bad players and bad classes are two different things.
Pyro has one of the best damage outputs in MVM even without the gas passer. Its always been a high tier must have in mvm. The fuck are you talking about?
@@Jabooduable It's precisely because of bad players using Pyro that gives people the perception that Explode on Ignite is needed to make Pyro good, when in reality it makes Pyro egregiously overpowered
use more periods, please.
The gas passer is one of my personal favorite weapons in MVM. I’m of the opinion that getting upset that people use an efficient means to beat a PVE gamemode are somewhat misguided.
Gas passer is literally the only secondary for pyro that is useful in man vs machine
And before you say flaregun scorch shot or detonator just remember they take forever to shoot only to miss the bomb scout. And you need something that has good crowd control. Shotguns are mid choice too.
In my experience the only Secondary for Pyro I liked was the jetpack, as the flareguns don't change things and have little impact and in the case of the scorch shot actively detrimental.
The detonator can be used to Phlog cancel on top of giants and tanks so it’s useful as well.
Why use a secondary when you have a flamethrower as primary?
The "Last resort bomb save" was a whole damn reset. I pushed that big boi all the way back to the grinder in Mannhattan
