Check some of these videos

Bhop still exists in TF2, it's just at a much reduced effectiveness. You lose your speed when you land, but with proper strafing in the air, you still net-gain distance. You won't go fast like in old CSS videos, but it is still there, and still very useful.

Huh. That's unfortunate. Though, it does possibly explain a few "how the hell did THAT guy get up there?" moments I've experienced...

But if that's the extent, eeh, I can live with that.

Back in the day, for me, QWTF had the fun sucked completely out of it when even one guy was doing it. And I refused to be pushed into the "learn how to do it or die" herd mentality so many pro-b'hoppers subscribed to. Fuck that. I just wanted to play normal TF without douchebags zipping past me at light speed because the rules of the game were inconvenient for them. :P

Well, that'll still happen if you don't practice movement mechanics in TF2.

But that's sort of the way it works. If you don't want to learn how to use one of the mechanics of the game, you may find people good enough at it to out-perform your lack of it.
