Mutual class need

Lemon_Powered · 11-07-2009, 04:03 PM

I was orginally gonna type this up in the engineer forum but decided i would like more feed back.

Well, today i was playing some goldrush and dustbowl and all that jazz. When a sniper and I teamed up. He was a huntsman-jarate sniper. anytime my sentry was being rushed he throw jarate on a group of people so my sentry owned them completely.

He also protected me very well from certain classes, such as demoman and spies and heavies. strangely we made a great team.

And later i swapped to the same kind of sniper and him to engy,
i then discovered how much my sentry was protecting him from being stabbed or sneaked up on. We both had mutual need of each other, i doubt i would have done nearly as well with out him or he with out me.

Post other great combinations you have noticed not counting medic+whatever

Sandman Scouts and Spies. Nothing is more annoying than being stunned, and being back stabbed.

And Soldier + demoman. If they're both pretty decent, they're amazing.

Yeah, this doesn't belong in the Engineer sub-forum, it's more generalized. Did you add that last part about posting when you realized it would be moved otherwise?

And I think Spy+Spy is good. Especially if one Spy is really bad and/or suicidal. One just gets themselves killed and the other kills things.

I didn't think of this one. It's actually really good because people will think they killed the only spy, the first few times. So they completely ignore you after that.

1. Enemy Demoman shoots stickies from a safe location.
2. Friendly Pyro airblasts stickies towards friendly teammates/buildings.
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!!

I was spec'ing the end of the match 2v1-- spies vs scout. The one spy just stood there and shot in the general direction of the scout and the second spy backstabbed the scout. Highly amusing, especially the choice words one of them had afterward.

Pyro + Jarate Sniper. You light em, I'll jarate on em.

Kind of, i just decided i wanted a type of feedback rather than "cool story bro"

Fan scout + scattergun scout. Fan scout 2shots them Scatter scout finishes them off. Works so well

Lemon_Powered · 11-07-2009, 05:27 PM

Heres another one

Pyro and scout. the pyro can light some one up, and when they retreat, the scout can run the down, and usually in the weakened state they don't stand a chance.

Pyro + Heavy

Pyro comp blasts to protect heavy from explosives and fire, heavy moes down
Pyro can also spam fire to catch Spies if pyro is low on health heavy can give him sandvich.

I had that exact same engy + huntsman sniper combo working on the roof of badwater.
Also pyro + engineer obviously. Spy protection, sticky protection and uber protection. On higher skill level servers solder/demo + engy. They can do all those things except better using explosives to blow away stickies/ubered pairs. The soldier/demo in turn gets a base in which to return to after rocket jumping onto that enemy snipers head.

It's called mutualism, a type of symbiotic relationship.

Zap657 · 11-07-2009, 08:02 PM

I'm quite fond of Spy/Heavy, myself. I mean, what's a better distraction than a heavy? Of course, the spy would have to keep him safe from snipers and such in return.

Tanspriter · 11-07-2009, 08:34 PM

Yeah spy+spy is always really helpful. Especially when one's cloak and dagger and the other's dead ringer. If they play their cards right they can trick the other team into thinking they never died. Also sapper spamming one sentry together is surprisingly fun.

ShockbattMatt · 11-07-2009, 08:40 PM

Spy+Spy, did this once, 1 spy saps the stuff, and the other one shoots the jarate out of the engy
