Lets talk about how completely broke ...
Playing on the Team Fortress 2 map. Opponent has one poisoner. I have 3 engineers. So what does he do? Hide behind a crystal so I can't kill him. Way to make a broken game and a broken map Robot!
indeed it is a free country...and i used to love this game, when there were less teams, but you're right there's really no point in playing anymore...with every team that gets added the game will become more and more broken...i wouldn't be surprised if Shaolin was the last team actually
I really wish that you would have played that one out to see what would have happened!
But, Trip, the train in your pic clearly wrecked after it left the station. This one never had a chance before leaving the station. (which just may have been Petty-coat Junction)

Am I missing something? Are you saying that because you had more units you deserved to win and the game is broken because you didn't?
I got to the end of a game once with 4 units to 1, and I lost. I didn't say the game is broken. I learned that you don't let an opponent end up with a sworded void monk without a sword or a scroll of your own.
Stale mates happen all the time in chess, and no one thinks that game is broken. :)
balance can easily be restored in this game. I've worked on major games to balance them and its really not that hard. The great thing is: it's all digital, so it's super easy to make changes, and you have crazy amounts of statistics... So scientific data combined with easy deployment methods... Measure, make a small change, reasses, repeat. The only debate is why a team is loosing, but not if. If enough time is given between releases to do some balance changes the game can also run fairly stable and there is no reason why 6 teams needs to be the maximum; it's just a question of careful continual attention towards the end of getting good balance that is important. Robots have said they will do a balance patch after the Shaolin are released, so the boat is anything but sinking :-) patience, and in the meantime, enjoy the challenges.

It seems like you've learned that it is dangerous to run out of ranged units on the train map. I will try to keep that in mind.

Ahh yes, now I see. Because it is "literaly impossible" for shaloin to trump dwarves, the game is clearly broken, as this is a scenarion where SH win over DW. Perfect logic.
Potential alternate titles for this thread:
"Revealed at last! Only documented instance of Shaolin victory over Dwarves finally made public!"
"OP prepares to gloat after wreaking havoc with his Engineer-only Death Squad, completely surprised when Engineers are defeated"
"Enemy Crystals - Indestructible Walls which can in no way be destroyed?"
*rolls eyes*

If I could offer you some tangible reward for this post, I certainly would.
would be interesting if i could veto maps, lets say one or two vetos for each player, i like playing tribe and there are some maps i feel more comfortable playing on then others.
You'd think if you were so bored of this game, you'd just stop playing and stop going on these forums rather than complaining all the time. But hey, it's a free country.
The TF2 map needs a fix because of what you've described, but the game is far from 'broken'.
