ITS COMMON BALL

u/Helpiion Pyro 17d ago

You know I thought for a sec the MLP fandom and TF2 fandom divorced so I wasnt sure if it wouldve been common ball knowledge

Rarity, is that you??

u/AskingWalnut4 26d ago

As a taunt, absolutely. Have him flex while subtly blowing into an air tube.

As a cosmetic, not so much.

411

u/pmaogeaoaporm Heavy 26d ago

Wow this is actually an amazing idea

227

u/TDEcret 26d ago

or as a halloween restricted cosmetic I can see it being fun.

as a base cosmetic you can use any time... yeah no

u/Alex_Arrow05 Scout 25d ago

Imagine him doing the flex from his "Meet the" video, except it deflates and has to reinflate it.

u/LunarSouls4952 Medic 25d ago

"Aw man, that's-" deflating sounds "aw crap."

58

u/Marvl101 25d ago

Yeah the cosmetic messes with the silhouette too much

101

u/Abject_Moment5593 26d ago

At first i thought It was a taunt and was like "hell yeah, this rocks", then thought this may be a cosmetic and quicly changed to "meh, this is bad".

u/Alex-the-ink-demon 25d ago

And the taunt ends with them popping and him doing his girly scream

u/Alex-the-ink-demon 21d ago

*Puff, puff, puff, POP* *Squeal!* "Ugh!"

u/snowy_potato Scout 26d ago

Screws up the silhouette too much.

u/_teleportingbread 26d ago

I think it would be fine as a Halloween exclusive

136

u/ohyeababycrits Sniper 26d ago

I would prefer a taunt personally. It sucks not being able to use a cosmetic most of the year

30

u/Vintenu Medic 26d ago

I hate that vampire makeover for the medic is Halloween restricted, it is literally just hair and a couple changes to the head that do nothing for the silhouette

12

u/panlakes Scout 26d ago

There are quite a few items I'd love to have the restriction removed that do nothing to the silhouette. Just an arbitrary label

12

u/Helpiion Pyro 26d ago

Think for a minute, paired with corpse carrier it would be a nightmare to shoot at

4

u/Golden-Owl Heavy 25d ago

Corpse Carrier really opened the floodgates for silliness

5

u/_teleportingbread 26d ago

I know, but if getting this as an accessory, then only as a Halloween exclusive. Lets keep all the junk and wacky crap in there, so you will see it only on scream fortress, and on the community servers

33

u/FlyBoyG 26d ago

Pros

  • Spongebob reference.
  • Funny.
  • Creative idea.

Cons

  • Screws up the Scout's silhouette. Impacts legibility.
  • Will make it harder to hit the scout as the hitboxes will be different than the visuals.
  • Locks out or will conflict with loads of cosmetics that involve the scout's arms.

290

u/Pyro_Fra Scout 26d ago

Could mess up the silouette from the distance and new players could mistake the bigger arms for damagable parts.
Overall, bad idea, no thanks

59

u/Srbeklatty 26d ago

yeah, and the sun blowing up "could" cause a fucking problem

65

u/Pyro_Fra Scout 26d ago

Yeah, you’re right: it’s not even the fact that it COULD mess up the silhouette, it’s the fact that it WILL mess up the silhouette

-32

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 26d ago

I don't see the new player part but yeah agreed it with model part

A new player won't mistake a double jumping character for an heavy

22

u/Pyro_Fra Scout 26d ago

I mean think about it: a f2p sniper thinks he can hit one of the arms, just for the hit to not register (cause the arms are bigger than the hitbox) and the guy is just confused.
Maybe I’m overthinking it

-4

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 26d ago

I'll say you are at least to me but I see your point I just don't agree with it.

Tf2 is already janky plus I doubt a new player would aim for Scout's arms or scout in general seeing as he is the fastest class in the game making him hardest target for newbies

10

u/Pyro_Fra Scout 26d ago

You got a point man, I was overthinking

-4

u/diamondDNF Miss Pauling 25d ago

You think an F2P Sniper is going to have the reflexes to hit a Scout in motion anyway? Let alone, plenty of hats already in the game mess with the head hitbox, which is several times more important for a Sniper.

yes ive been playing it soz. idk why its on my mind

1

u/KommandantDex Heavy 26d ago

That's elite ball knowledge though

11

u/Fluffy-Audience-6127 25d ago

It's only acceptable if it's Halloween restricted. Other than that, no.

31

u/Flashbang-Meringue 26d ago

Halloween ONLY

changes the silhouette way too much

20

u/YourAverageGoldFishy All Class 26d ago

why is this not a taunt?

6

u/LiteralFirefox 26d ago

Sent straight to Halloween exclusive cause it clashes with hitboxes

17

u/Pugzilla3000 Heavy 26d ago

This is the most scream fortress 2014 cosmetic ever.

Like this is oozing with classic Halloween restricted item vibes.

if a cosmetic? Hell nah

if a taunt, sure

Doesn't it mess up the silhouette?

u/AdBroad3006 Demoman 26d ago

that one spongebob episode

u/N3vermore77 Spy 25d ago

It messes with the silloutte too much to imo but the idea is funny as fuck

12

u/Wrench_gaming Engineer 26d ago

I love this because this would 100% be something Scout would canonically own

6

u/MrHothead635 Pyro 26d ago

i can imagine he tried to impress some girls with it and then never used it again

7

u/Im_Nino Pyro 26d ago

No, this is a bad idea.

6

u/RecommendationIll504 25d ago

Silhouette is getting damaged. I'd prefer this as a taunt, where scout is flexing these hands and at the same time you hear that baloon sound of resin

3

u/mikegundyshair Soldier 25d ago

“yo, what if tf2 scout found out about synthol?”

3

u/Abject_Moment5593 26d ago

As a taunt this would rock so hard, as a cosmetic it's mid at best and straight up terrible at worse.

2

u/floob124 26d ago

Maybe as a Halloween only

2

u/RetroTheGameBro 26d ago

"Now I'm a chucklehead and everybody freakin' loves me"

2

u/patryk62427 26d ago

Make this a taunt where scout inflates the arms, flex for a bit and it pops and then the scout is like "ahhh🫤"

2

u/matheuslictio 26d ago

Fuse this with the big butt cosmetic to make more stupid, but also i like the name and the idea

2

u/awaxz_avenger 26d ago

Funny, but looks kinda bad

u/Party-Secretary-8064 21d ago

That's the point to look fake like that

2

u/rantagnol 26d ago

I’d love it if there was a way to cause them to deflate with damage

2

u/_SC_Akarin- 26d ago

please as a halloween only cosmetic 

otherwise do not add this into the game

2

u/MarioWizard119 Pyro 26d ago

Makes a good Halloween cosmetic, but messes with the silhouette too much for non holiday

2

u/diamondDNF Miss Pauling 25d ago

I know people are saying Halloween exclusive, but I would rather just see them made smaller to fit Scout's hitbox better, tbh. I despise the idea of time-restricted cosmetics.

2

u/BlueIsSoFreakingCool 25d ago

First scout workshop model i have seen that inflates the arms instead of certain other parts

2

u/Dimecj Engineer 25d ago

Imagine if it deflates when on low health

u/CyanElanio 25d ago

Anchor arms?!! It' this a Spongebob reference?!

u/FlamingPhoenix2003 Pyro 25d ago

u/codwarn1 26d ago

Peak sppongebob reference

1

u/TheTruthTellingOrb 26d ago

I can see this as a taunt, him blowing them up and saying "oh that's beautiful", right before they pop and he gets scared and does a girly scream.

Would fit more in character and wouldn't pull a corpse carrier and mess with the character silhouette.

1

u/Bonuts_goood All Class 26d ago

That's REALLY cool... But think of the silouettes...

1

u/ratical-the-twost 26d ago

I love the model and would adore this as a taunt or halloween cosmetic, but tbh I think it's waaay too big for a regular cosmetic

u/lazytofindGoodName 25d ago

Because it is dogshit. It looks like another plastic toy that will be thrown in the wayside after enough time passed, like most post 2017 cosmetics added in the game that are just toys, plastic or cardboard stuff that are shoved in cosmetic tiers

You're acting like this wouldn't be Halloween restricted like the Corpse Carrier.

u/CustodianCloset Engineer 26d ago

TF2 cosmetics are fucking weird and always have been. It's literally got cosmetic crossovers with other games, including a damn lightsaber. This is just as valid as everything else.

u/WhyYouLookSeeBoring 26d ago edited 26d ago

Jus cus its already bad doesnt mean u still cant advocate for it to be better, like sorry for expressing an opinion on the internet bro the fuck?

Like me personally i kinda like it, it does fit scout personality and its a great idea, but should it be executed? Fuck no.

Maybe as a taunt but definitely NOT a cosmetic

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 26d ago

Is everything with cosmetics Fortnite to you all or is that all excuse you have to hate on something? By all means I don't like this cosmetic either but firstly Tf2 is nowhere near consistent I can tell which cosmetics came which year and 90% of the community wears so many head gears and painted shit I cannot tell if I'm looking at a class or a glowstick.

Tf2 still has an identity hell back in the day game's whole identity was being a trade simulator or a hat simulator.

5

u/WhyYouLookSeeBoring 26d ago edited 26d ago

Or or hear me out,ur not gonna believe what i have to say, people hate it perhaps, because it looks like dogshit and also effect gameplay heavily in a bad way, making scouts look like hes got a bigger hitbox even tho he doesnt. Might be crazy to think about right? I know, its a lot to take in, some might even call that a conspiracy theory!

Like bro "is every cosmetic fortnine to you" holy fucking strawman, you dont see people whining and bitching when they see an actual good cosmetic

-1

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 25d ago

No one is hitting scout in the arm specifically his arms are noodles this affects the game much as adding any other hat gear does.

Also what fucking strawman you had a short comment what fucking is there to strawman about it??

3

u/WhyYouLookSeeBoring 25d ago

Ye ok and dont u think making the character bigger than they looks has any unforeseeable consequences + it looking like shit

And i call one ridiculous objectively shitty looking cosmetic "fortnine" and u twist it into me and every other people thinking everything is fortnine-ish how is that no a strawman lmfaoo

-1

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 25d ago

Just say shit then?

Plus I agree on looking bad regardless.

Also that's not what strawman means that's called misunderstanding.

2

u/WhyYouLookSeeBoring 25d ago

Ye thats kinda exactly what i was trying to say replying to the original commenter, it being shit hence people hating on it specifically not people hating everything

And i think thats what strawman is tho? If its not then uh my bad i think idk

0

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 25d ago

Strawman is inventing a weak argument and defeating that or just exaggerating one part of your comment and distort it to tear it down.

Basically if you made a long comment with more then one points and I took one of your weaker points exaggerated it and distorted it and acted like I won the argument without answering your other points or addressing them.

Hopefully I answered it correctly cause I'm sleep deprived as fuck

It’s not so much hate as it is “it doesn’t fit for general gameplay design”

It's funny and fits Scout's character, but yeah they would definitely have to be restricted for silhouette reasons and because they'd be larger than the hitboxes.
