It's still pretty unprofessional in my opinion.

you call the lack of a build menu "unprofessional"; I call it practical

The old design was really unprofessional. Presenting two options where you can only possibly use one.

Man the class select menu is so inconvenient, I just want to change classes at the press of a button!

Class select menu isn't inconvenient, I can't remember the classes, it gives you info on each one, etc. Plus classlimits.

Sentry building? There are only two possible options. Don't use a menu with three

I sure do like accidentally pressing a button and instantly destroying a sentry I built because my finger slipped and there's no safeguard against that.

Like hey, one that would be in place with the build menu.

so wait do sentries now build/destroy with just an M2?

Yup.

If it bother someone enough they'll make a plugin maybe.

Or they'll complain to the devs for releasing something like that

Because it's kind of supposed to work the other way around, the modders are the ones that are supposed to create something inconvenient in the long run, not the devs.

Oh God so true.

I'm not even going to tell you why the analogy you're making is retarded, you should be able to figure it out on your own.

Anyway for 2.4.4 I'm considering introducing a   mine menu, where pressing 1 creates a mine, 2 blows up a mine, and 0 closes it. Also, for  , there will be a bubble menu. Might do something similar for  since you can accidentally freeze yourself. Plus I'll add one for taunting, since if you accidentally taunt it could be fatal!

a·nal·o·gy [uh-nal-uh-jee]
noun, plural a·nal·o·gies.
1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.

Similarity:

You want to build and destroy with the press of a button
I want to change classes at the change of a button

Both are convenient for a small portion of the community but inconvenient for a much larger portion of it.

A decent user interface is pretty much a necessity for games, and without a menu there's bound to be accidental sentry builds/destructions. Accidentally clicking the right mouse button can be potentially devastating.

Same is true of the demoman. One misplaced click and bye-bye mines. Bye-bye well-placed trap.

[Malpracticeisdead]

Deto mines are easily replaceable, and accidentally blowing up mines is nowhere near as bad as accidentally blowing up your sentry.
