TF2 public servers - what annoys you the most?

Things that annoy me:

1. A team of too many Enginubs: Sounds very elitist of me and I hate using that word but it really sums the type of player up, engineer definately one of the most overused and mis-used classes, building sentries in the weirdest of places, not build tps, and then they wonder why our team of 6+ engineers got "pwned".

2. People who don't rush/push foward for fear of.....dying! Ugh. a lot of players seem happy just to fight at choke points FOREVER.

3. Americans: generally speaking, I'll give them a fair chance first, but unfortunately most of the americans I've met in TF2 have so far just all been ignorant trash talking racists. Welcome the internets I guess.

4: Um, people who don't block capture points, better you block, die and respawn than we lose right then and there.

agree with all of them, but for me also i just find the other team annoying ,when i find out people are dominating me, i just instantly start swearing at them, i cant help it :p
 
-mostly the whole people switching to the class thats in use by the top team member
-uncooperative medics are also a pain in the rear
-people holding back and engi camping in sudden death forcing stalemates...its soooooooooooo boring
-on pure defense maps peoples willingness to just sit right at the final cp and let the other ones go or never push the enemy back making their job harder, makes the maps very hard if you are waiting for them to come 2 feet from the cp, enough people die and you cant hold it, whereas keeping them back allows you to die with the comfort theres still a game to spawn back into

most other things i sort of pass off as inexperience
 
On another note does anyone feel the heavy plus medic plus ubercharge combo is getting incredibly old and annoying right now? On a lot of capture the point servers it seems that combo is the deciding factor who wins and loses pretty consistently regardless of what kind of defence you have up, when that combo comes trotting in its more in their favour of capping the point than you being able to defend it.

It gets even more annoying when theyre 2 clan nooblets whoring out this combo, thats pretty much all they will do. I was in a game earlier and 3 ubecharged heavies come waddling in..all clan members with 3 medics attached also of the same clan. What kind of fun can be had in public servers if this kind of crap goes on? Near sure i read about some counter to the ubercharge in an interview a while ago..hope it comes into game soon.

As already mentioned; engineers but no teleporters/dispensers and medics healing people who arent on the frontline and don't uber people.

Having a good team of 2-3 engineers makes the world of difference.
 
Not so much annoying but gives me a wry smile:

When a team wins a round, in say a 12 v 12 server, immediately the losing team drops down to about 5 players and everyone switches / waits for space in the 'winning team'.


I do get annoyed (with myself :p) when you fumble/panic and end up running towards the enemy across the map shooting only to find your pathetically swinging your hunting knife/fire axe/baseball bat! :D
 
snipers.. such a useless class in most cases, and yet it is totally overplayed... saw a team the other day with 5 snipers and was like wtf is the point in that?

spy's suffer from the same thing
 
pyros annoy me, purely because its so perfect for the dumb people who cant aim and arent tacticly minded, its like a class for them to just run in and hold the trigger, die, then do it all again

I couldn't have put it better myself.
 
Snipers who spend all day going after the other sniper - like it actually helps being 2 men down on each team constantly. I was playing on 2fort at the weekend, 12-a-side, my team had 5 snipers at one point! all competing for the same person as they were all on the battlements.

Have you tried playing as pyro? I'm terrible at it personally. Don't know why but I find it harder.

yep, i find it very easy, just have to stick to the close quaters battles and hold the trigger i find and the result is a lot of points

engineers i find fairly difficult, i cant do the achivement at the moment :( got to 9 kills with one sentry and the map ended
 
Its happened a few times now when I'm playing medic, I've just Uber'd a heavy who runs out and starts shooting a jumping scout completely ignoring the Turrets preventing us from advancing.

Then dying from the turrets as uber runs out..

yeah agree, i am a sniper probably 75% of the time, and about 90% of the time on 2fort, and i go up on the battlements, but i dont just go for other snipers, i am constantly looking down on the bridge and around that area, just had a game where i took down a heavy in one critical head shot who just emerged from their base, plus the amount of scouts i get running accross the top of the bridge is insane, but when i have top score, everyone becomes snipers so its annoying, and they are just kill the other snipers.
