Not that frequent with the uploads this month since i wanna party as hard as i can in the end of the summer, but i'll try my best to keep the good content coming! The FAT uploads coming this autumn tho. Get ready. DISCORD: discord.gg/EMZhDXV TWITCH: twitch.tv/vorobey69
Shortstop is used more frequently in MvM for its extra clip size because of this one fun fact: Whenever the Shortstop random crits, its ENTIRE clip becomes crits thus with max clip size you can fire 12 of them triple damage shots (Also makes it the only single-fire weapon that can consistently deal crits in the same fashion as miniguns and flamethrowers do) 4 crits in a row already sound lethal for a scout to have
i main shortstop and love it to death but i don't use crit a cola that often with it, it's a good combo for sure but i don't like relying on it. all i really want is the old reload speed back and some improvements to the shove to try and make it an actual thing
@@ralphthejedimaster I'm doing just fine with it. But yeah, you really don't want to use this thing close. Best case scenario with the cola if you want to snipe though
@@solforecast2101 it actually outdoes stock at close range DPS because of the firing speed, especially against light classes since you can still 2 shot them. it just requires much more accuracy in order to actually get that damage due to the tighter spread, stock will generally be stronger in close quarters but if your aim is on point with the shortstop you can drop anything short of a heavy faster than a backstab. shove aside my only issue with it that isn't just a game wide issue like bullet spread, is the long reload which is very punishing when you don't land your shots that well and just generally hurts your output with the amount of downtime
The biggest mistake I see with people using the shortstop is that they use it like it's a scatter gun. You have to take advantage of the low bullet spread and use it mid range as much a possible. Especially against other scouts. I find it to be extremely useful if the enemy team has pyros. They are forced to use their secondary on you or retreat
This was secretly a high IQ move on Vorobey's part, as there was a medic nearby, Scout is lower priority for Medics to heal, and his particularly high health wouldn't give much charge. By stealing the medkit from the Demo, the Demo was eventually able to realize that their Medic was much more important than any medium health kit; while a health kit is loyal to nobody and usable to all, a medic only heals one team, and will follow you loyally into the deepest sentry nests if you protect them. Likewise, they realized that medkits are short-term benefits while a medic can be the difference between winning or losing and are in turn much more vulnerable. Vorobey did much more than steal a health kit from a demo at 118 health, no, he encouraged a Demo to become the world's best Medic Buddy that round, and eventually lead the entire team to winning the match through making sure their medic would never die again.
The main reason people use backscatter over shortstop, is that your playstyle won't change much, unlike the shortstop. The shortstop is best at mid-range unlike the other scatterguns, the problem is that you could easily close the distance and two-shot them if there at mid-range with any other scatter gun.
The difference between other scatter gun and shortstop is that it deals good damage at mid and long range. Hell, this video showed scout dealing 195 damage with crit a cola while still maintaining safe distance. The only reason most people don't use shortstop much is because you need even more skill in aiming the thing. The spread is tighter.
@@zuhdibeyblade9 that, and your fast... Which means if you need to make a slight adjustment, your fucked. It's not just your aim, it's your speed actively hindering your aim, and that's not exactly something most can learn to deal with. I honestly think it'd pair well with a jacket that decreases movement speed and the loss of a jump for extra health and the ability to do knock back with any melee, like the shove but with the hitbox of the bat and the damage of it. This would make it great with the sandman or wrap assassin with the projectile, and just a generally good trade for a class reliant on mobility and a good secondary, but depending on the health increase it wouldn't be too busted in either direction, just a mirror to the shield. That, and shoving with melee could be interesting.
I'm watching the clip at the very start of the video and I'm already like "Woah! that's really good. how did I never think of that?" If Valve thought spy killing from across the map wasn't supposed to happen, wait till they see this.
@@markdevaney3909 What? No. Shortstop doesn't lose on DPS, only on BURST DAMAGE when compared to stock. In fact, if you take the max potential DPS of stock - 105 dmg point blank and fire rate of 0.625, it equals 168 DPS, while the shortstop - 72 point blank and fire rate of 0.36 (nearly half), it equals 200 DPS.
The firing speed and reloading 4 at once actually puts the shortstop at a slightly higher dps than the scattergun (though obviously it is harder to hit those shots since theyre tighter and because of the faster firespeed)
Shortstop and Crit-a-Cola has always been a fun playstyle that I took a liking to when I was looking for ways to play from a further range than usual without just outright going Sniper
vorobey makes this weapon look good. I played with it as a scout main for a long time and got decent with it. Then one day I switched back to the scattergun and it was like taking my weighted training clothes off. The one thing I miss about it is how hard it shreds sentry guns if you play in no-spread servers.
Loadout idea- name: bot but in Texas, primary: rescue ranger, secondary: stock pistol, melee: southern hospitality, no sentries, every other building is allowed.
shortstop is actually rlly fun and good, cause i dont have to go close to do decent damage, also m2 shortstop have somewhat of a use, it used to be easier to push people before since its fixed, but now the push direction is affected by the target's direction and movement same like the pyro's post jungle inferno airblast. Been playing with it on suijin for a month whole and i get to push a lot of people down the cliff, although it work better behind cause janky hitbox and the bonus force on retreating enemy
Boom. Headshot. Scoutin’s a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry'cause at the end of the day, long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead. Ooh. Mom? Mom , I'm a- Ye- Not a "scout", dad, I'm an sniper! ...Well, the difference being one is a job and the other's a missing dad! I'll be honest with ya: my mom do not care for it "I think that fat bald bastard saw me."Yes, yes he did! "Feelins'? Look pal, you know who has a lot of feelings?" that comes from a sniper who beats people with a Tom Jones trophy. Professionals have standards be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet. Mom… mom w-, yeah - what happened to my dad?
The thing that makes powerhouse cp hightower isn’t like Hightower where both sides just refuse to win. It’s both sides *can’t* win on powerhouse. Your team needs to be well coordinated to truly make a breakthrough
16:13 not the most useful information but theres a setting in "advanced settings" which lets you see the kd of enemy players or teammates and the other stats by pressing on their name, sometimes if you get autobalanced or someone gets autobalanced to the enemy team you can see their class (even if they changed it and with the shit they have equiped) on the bottom left on the scoreboard but its pretty rare, i got it a few times
There is also another sniper scout, which uses the guillotine and sandman by throwing them across or very far away, hitting the target via by stunning them first with the sandman and the guillotine does the finishing blow
2:58 The gun that lets you fly around the map like a bird and juke everyone like nobodies buisness is somehow the most "boring" scout weapon. Some people have no taste I tell you.
Now normally the Shortstop is something I almost never run just because I don't really like the way it feels but man this combo looks so FUN to do!!!! I don't know how you do it but you make every weapon look so enjoyable and satisfying to use.
4:15 The reason it'll never be as good as stock isn't spread - it's because its damage is actual shit. You need the crit-a-cola for it to be anything resembling decent and, well, the price is you're using the crit-a-cola
i never realized how goated the shortstop + crit-a-cola loadout was. i mean, with other guns, specially the stock scattergun, it's almost useless as you're taking way too long to fire every shot, and that "every shot" must be as precise as possible for it to be useful. With the shortstop, you just go absolutely NUTS. and also i'm a sucker for weapons that give you mini-crits or crits (crit-a-cola, buff banner, kritzkrieg, frontier justice, diamondback and every other weapon that gives mini-crits/crits that is not mentioned here)
I the slot D i have the milk man set, i'm pretty good using the weapon like if it was the scatter, plus every kill i leave a tombstone And also i'm a Scout since 2015 I swear, Voro out of all TF2 youtubers is the only one who makes me want to play like that
“Snipin’s a good job, mate” is my favorite quote from that video Therefore I have clicked on this video as a result of the title being similar to that quote
