5 Man Competitive Setup ?

(KINE) #1

Looking for suggestions on a conservative one size fits all (as best it can) combo for 5 man competitive.

I’m thinking

  1. Tank - to harrass and push
  2. Medic - to keep tank alive
  3. Sparks (Recon) - to keep Medic alive and snipe, (switches to Vassili whenever needed)
  4. Engineer
  5. Roaming Beast - who can wipe out the enemy team independently and fill any gaps

is there anything particularly wrong with that and or a better setup ?

the standard comp setup is going to be:

  1. Assault (All-time Fragger)
  2. Pocket Medic (Pockets Fragger)
  3. Engineer
  4. 2nd Medic
  5. Fire Support

It is slightly moved from this depending on map and what special skills the team has i.e. multiple fire supports on EV maps or Fr0sZ’s snipes for pdG. And also the fire support will often play Nader instead of a true fire support merc.

I wonder how Thunder will contribute to fucking the meta.

@Sir_Slam Most likely, after his conc nade gets fixed, will be used a lot for taking out Aura Station Rhinos. At least that’s my guess.

Well the way me and my buddies do it
1- Recon/Killer (I’m one helluva Redeye so it’s the best way I can contribute to the team and they love me for it XD)
2- Engineer (usually a fletcher)
3- Assault (usually Fragger)
4- Demoman (usually Sky but when a demoman isn’t needed it’s either another Fragger, Thunder or Stoker)
5- Medic (Usually an Aura or Phoenix and on occasion a sawbonez)

I like the setup you have. Because sparks is usually underrated because she doesn’t have good health packs but if you get a player that is great with Sparks you could pull off with lots of wins under your belt! :slight_smile:

When your team is attacking:

2 Engineer
1 medic
2 Assault

When your team def:

1 Engineer
2 Fire support (Skyhammer or Kira are the best)
1 Medic (Aura or Sawbonez)
1 Assault
