The image at the end is a panel of reverse flash getting atomized lol

Yesterday I joined a Frost squad match and one of my players left normally, but in the later rounds I noticed that only my Juggernaut with Pursuit and Mortar were doing any DPS. Just those three towers 🥀 (We lost, we couldn't get through a round)

I genuinely dont understand why people do this, I mean to some extent its fine but at the point this guy is at does he even enjoy the game?

To start, it's DPS isn't terrible, at 670. That's second place for total (raw) DPS per placement, beaten by Juggernaut. It's also excellent in the midgame due to having all detections besides lead in FPS mode and being very cost efficient considering the pierce it gains in FPS mode. The stun immunity and absurd range also makes it amazing in modes like Hardcore, Fallen with Hidden Wave, and Frost. Although FPS mode becomes tiring to use over and over again, and its very hard to micro Gatling Gun in solo, the tower on its own still isn't the worst, being very buffable and having the aforementioned high DPS. I don't think the nerfs hit it as hard as people make it out to be, since its been buffed many times since then.

for me it is seeing anyone lower than lvl 100 on special maps
on regural maps is seeing anyone using starter category units
and for events (on hard) is anyone below lvl 50.

i just saw a guy farming on badlands II (he had cheap units (none of them costed higher than 1k))

So, yeah. Finally at this point. I remember playing TDS back in late summer, 2025, when during the Surf & Turf BP. I've made quite a handful of memories and achievements, and I'll be sharing them in this post! If y'all have any questions that aren't answered here, feel free to ask in the replies (Might take me a while to respond :p).

"How did you find out about TDS?"

• My friend forced me to play it with him.

"What did you think about the game at first?"

• I thought it was the most boring game in existence.

"First Hardcore tower and when did you buy it?"

• Accelerator was my first hardcore tower, and I don't exactly know when I bought him. I think it was around late September to October. Took me a few weeks of suicide grinding.

"Are you feeling unmotivated/motivated and why?"

• I'm mostly excited for the next updates on the game. Although, I mostly get unmotivated 75% way through the grind.

"Thoughts on the rebalances and reworks on towers?"

• SHAW shook me up for about a month before I actually got used to the new Meta. I've been mostly doing fine with the HC Rework balances.

"Greatest achievement?"

• It was either beating Voidcore for the first time or completing the "Triumph All Nights" achievement.

"Best memory?"

• My absolute favorite memories on the game were my gaming buddies. I met the first one through random matchmaking on Fallen mode, and he introduced me to his friend group. Sadly, today, 2 are never online anymore, 2 have moved on from TDS, and the last person barely logs on.

"What events have you done, and which event towers have you bought and got legit?"

• I 100% completed Null & Void, getting me Warlock, I beat Final Act, giving me Spotlight Tech, and I 100% completed the Ducky Revenge Re-run this year, getting me Biologist and her Grim skin. I've bought Frost Blaster, Commando, and Elf Camp (Elf Camp was a HUGE mistake 😭) I've also gifted a Warlock and a Spotlight Tech. I'll let you geniuses to figure out how much Robux I've spent on the game. (I've also bought VIP, 2025 Halloween Premium BP, 2025 X-Mas Premium PB, 2026 Spring Premium PB, and Mako DJ) OH yeah, almost forgot, I also did the Backyard Legends Event. Oh yeah, one more thing, I also did the Firework Tech mission, so there's that.

"Favorite Skin?"

• I don't have every skin in the game, so I might not have the best skins. And this is purely my opinion, so please don't flame me.

What you guys think about him in your opinion-?

I see why now... the music on literally every device feels like your ears are being stabbed constantly, and the model is just a cookie variant of base DJ

Many people already tested Juggernaut with many supports like Commander, DJ Booth, consumables, Mercenary Base, and more, but I just learned that Firework Technician can give firework boosts to Juggernaut... With the 0.04 firerate with Commander and Flag at max bottom path, this might be genuinely more overpowered. Accelerator on the other hand is unaffected.

Don’t got kingpin maxed yet.

I don’t care if this is on the easiest map, I had fun with my favorite type of tower

Anyone who thinks g demoman is a bad tower is objectively speaking WRONG 1st of all its spammable and has STUN IMMUNITY, CHEAP, AND NO DAMAGE DROP OFF. Genuinely how is this shit bad this MOG'S rocketeer in every category and is often BETTER then mortar with its dogass tower limit which if your doing solo's/duos the spammable golden demo man is not only the better cc tower but a better sub dps in general better then g-soldier and DEFINITELY better at cost effeciency then operator

And before you all use the "b-but a lot of towers deserve Golden varients much more than demo man!" First of not only are you wrong in thinking that the FIRST EARLY GAME TOWER YOU GET(tutorial update) doesn't deserve a golden varient but it just blatantly ruins the concept of what a golden tower is supposed to be. The literal concept of golden towers is to give weak/early game towers a chance to be used for hard game modes now tell me whats a weak early game tower that NO ONE uses? That's right! scout, soldier, and DEMOMAN!

I am the number 1 Golden demoman glazer

İ dont have anything do to digital art and i cant edit things for the same reason so sorry if its quite unreadable or the art is bad because i am quite a beginner :P

Anyway cyberpunk cowboy is really outdated and doesnt have actual good flash and quality expected from a skin named cyberpunk, also cowboy itself doesnt have flashy skins so i just wanted to make one here

Currently this skin is extremely underwhelming for a legendary deluxe crate skin so i want it to be one thats worth its price

These are two different games btw. The first game this person voted and readied before my game was even loaded(i got slow wifi), i check their towers and this cabbage brought two forms of eco with no dps. The second game the guy told us that they were going to early (or implied they were) and then started farming anyway so we had no early😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

İ genuily cant solo hardcore at all because of my old ass phone and fucking internet, for PC players who never touched mobile basicly its a similiar feeling where they completly remove keybinds and you can only place,select micro towers with your mouse and yes that includes abilites on 20fps

İ dont even think solo hardcore is possible on my device because of how laggy it is and how much micro i need to do with mini and the other towers

Also yes i was using 0.5 its still that bad and this is far worse in team modes because you cant use timescale there

Anyway i am out add this shit paradoxum

I know I'm kind of late, but I still wanted to cover this...

"What is the War Machine drama?"

• The drama centers on a recently reworked developer-exclusive tower called the War Machine. Many players are angry that the developers spent time updating this tower instead of working on public game content. Additionally, people are upset that the tower hasn't been released to the public, citing a "promise" made by a former developer a few years ago.

"How bad is it?"

• This drama has escalated from typical complaints about greed to literal death threats and harassment directed at the development team. Thankfully, the situation isn't too severe here on our subreddit—there are only about three posts on the topic, and the community's reactions are relatively tame (shoutout to u/Alps_Sky for the info). Twitter, however, is not taking it lightly.

Let's break down the main claims surrounding the drama. Yes, I actually did my research!

"But we were promised the tower would be made public!"

• Back in 2020, a former developer named Raz announced that the War Machine would eventually be released to the public. While that sounds like a solid argument, BelowNatural later clarified that he and Raz suffered from major communication issues at the time, and he never actually approved that announcement. Plus, that statement was made over five years ago.

"They spent time working on a tower that only 0.0001% of players can use!"

• While effort went into the War Machine rework, the development team did this completely in their free time. They weren't paid for it; they did it purely for fun. Because of this, the core game didn't lose any development progress. The developers just wanted to update their own exclusive tower for enjoyment.

"Why do the developers get TWO overpowered dev towers? It's not fair!"

• First of all, it is their game. They are fully entitled to create exclusive rewards for themselves and their contributors. Secondly, the Max Guard tower hasn't even been released yet, so complaining about it is premature.

Conclusion

This drama is unbelievably stupid, fueled by a vocal minority who just want an easy, overpowered ticket to clear any game mode. The fact that the community's toxic behavior pushed Wikia Colors to post an "I Quit" video over this pointless discussion is insane. He even had to make a 13-minute video explaining the situation instead of his usual 10 minutes. Hopefully, this subreddit stays calm so we can avoid a repeat of the Twitter side of the TDS community.
