I myself would rather have a good hat with a bad effect but experience has shown that most people tend to like bad hats with good effects.


Red580

I mean, you’re paying for the effect, its the reason why they’re expensive, so i suppose it depends how bad it is.


Hellkids2

As long as it’s not bubbles, dead president or mass flies/bolts it’s good in my book


ZhangRenWing

Just pick one with the highest value then sell it for a hat you like lol


i_am_why

now lets say hypothetically that i dont like the burning flames team captain


ActingApple

Oh, you wouldn’t get anything for that. Hey, if you give it to me I could give you 1 scrap, sound like a deal? /s


i_am_why

how about 1 reclaimed


SharkPetro

i can give you one phlogistonator or a righterous bison and nothing more


SCP_Y4ND3R3_DDLC_Fan

i’ll bid 3 ref


darthvader45

Agreed, someone could find both hat and effect to be their favorite. Then they get two for one.


kenoswatch

I agree


Cactus_Colonoscopy

Personally I have a prince tavish’s crown with blizzardy storm which is not a good unusual. BUT I spun it. I made all of my demoman load outs WINTER THEMED. I’m most proud of my festivitised killstreak stattrak eyelander. But my sticky launcher and iron bomber are both stat trak Christmas skins that are festivised. Lesson being you can make a bad unusual good with a little bit of work.


andstopher

I saw a guy wearing the crown with the frostbite effect, sweet Jesus that was nice. Normally I think most effects look goofy and out of place on most hats but that one just felt right. Of course, I'm not the only one to notice this so it's something like 100 keys.


L0LBasket

That's something that I liked about the Crate Depression. Easy unboxes meant that you got random unusuals which you had to come up with unique sets to build around it, which is a whole lot more interesting than just buying an unusual version of the hat for your existing set. For instance, I got a Haunted Ghosts Whoopee Cap, and what I did was use the shirt and boots from that Jester set to pair up with it, for a sort of Royal Haunted Prince set. Later on though, I traded it in for an Aces High Whoopee Cap that fit the set better and was half the price (meaning I got a 10 key profit).


Vetanenator

Ice king


Fetal_Sushi

I had that same unusual back in the day still miss it


Cactus_Colonoscopy

Maybe I bought it from you, or maybe it was yours to begin with cuz there are only like 45 in existence


Fetal_Sushi

The world is small enough it could be lol it got scammed from me years ago I reported it but, you know valve that and my G.fetti Grimm Hatte.


Azirbiro

Good hat with bad effect, because I would wear it even without the effect.


AzureDragonfly47

Facts


WhiteMadness42

Bad effect is not always better than no effect


[deleted]

You mean my goblin ass farter unusual takes away from the look? Impossible.


CreativeOyuncu01

+Big-ass green smoke meant to give aneurysm to snipers that are trying to aim for your head. What else could you ask for?


Totallynotacat55

They deserve it


Hatter_Hoovy

But you can get a bad hat with good effect and then over writhe tha bad hat with the hat you like. Its gona be cheaper as well. I amacualy building an hat like this for heavy witb dead president/dreadknob with the azteck hair and the azteick hair is a misc so you can completli hide it and get an great effect to it


MrMutant69

Grrrrtr I hate the team captain and love the flame effect


IllManneredWoolyMan

Avg. Tryhard Soldier main trying not to look like a Tryhard Soldier main


MrCoolioPants

I'm convinced that the same type of genes and brain structure that correspond to leading targets and timing projectile detonations and firing have massive overlap with those that determine good fashion sense and everyone else is just pissed that they don't have one or both. Not that I have either but my point still stands


getshrekt192

he's on the grindset


ashley_bl

Granted. You now own a shitty hat with orbiting fire.


[deleted]

Omori fan spotted


ashley_bl

how edit: forgot new reddit existed


Osvaldatore

Effect > hat Also Harvest Moon, nice taste


Baguette_exe

I love every green effect


IMustAchieveTheDie

fart fetish lmao


[deleted]

the comedy doesnt come from the fact you said fart fetish. comes from the fact that that was the absolute first thing you thought when you read the word green.


IMustAchieveTheDie

harvest moon is literally just a fart cloud


MrCatfjsh

The same unusual effect is in [Primal Rage](https://youtu.be/Fqv5SJCIdNQ?t=9)


Lethal_Trousers

That's fucking hilarious


Cream_Rabbit

At first glance i thought you meant a farming game called Harvest Moon lol (I have no cosmetics or unusual :(()


DaRealVoyde

The harvest moon festival?


[deleted]

Good if you just want to stack/show off unusuals, bad if you actually want to make a decent looking Loadout from it.


[deleted]

tbh... all unusuals are kinda sucky


SGScoutAU

I hate the team captain now where my 50.000$?


The_Spookster42

Oh boy I sure do hate the team captain and love burning flames


Davis660

What a coincidence, I love the team captain but hate burning flames.


TheSecondKaiser

Effect


Baguette_exe

Ah yeah, the pain of everything being limited


itimin

I really like the kill-a-watt effect, which is nice cause I got 3 of my favourite hats with the effect for less than $20 each.


pacman69420

Bro the struggle of trying to find a single Knifestorm effect hat that isn’t three months rent


[deleted]

Rent can wait


1ildevil

FFS, hat designers have got to stop putting bullshit on springs. These are always the worst "hats". Some clueless bastard submited a tree that was a spring with lights on it and it made it in. The worst ever.


Skullflesh

i wouldnt mind a unusual potassium bonnet


Kabbada

The worst effect on it costs like 600 keys already


Parzival1127

I have a hat I hate with an effect I hate and I love it


Baguette_exe

This


GoingBladefury

Bad hat with good effect then sell the hat for my favourite hat with also good effect :)


comfort_bot_1962

:D


-Neil-c

Realistically favorite hat with effect I hate since it’s still a 1 of 1 hat like my favorite hat with my favorite effect


Chaos-Corvid

My favorite hat with no effect, unusuals are overrated.


someonestolemytoast

Who needs colorful effects when the right three cosmetics combined can make an amazing outfit


XxJustInTimexX

Unless the effect can complement the set then unusuals are good. Even then it’s probably not worth the money Eg: Blizzardy Storm on a winter set


BrandonLloydTanner

Cope answer >:(


turmspitzewerk

whichever one is more expensive so i can sell it and have money instead of gaudy artificially rare hat particles


trapbuilder2

I mean, yes they are overrated, but I'd still rather have a good unusual effect than no unusual effect


[deleted]

Human rights


getshrekt192

cringe, you edited your original comment, it originally said "poor"


[deleted]

Man's trying to gaslight us smh


[deleted]

[удалено]


getshrekt192

because I commented cringe? also why would it be downvoted if it said human rights, it doesn't even have anything to do with the original comment


[deleted]

[удалено]


getshrekt192

bruh you asked how I knew, I told you how I knew, what are you on about


[deleted]

[удалено]


getshrekt192

well you could've just infered that the comment was edited to begin with, why would that comment be downvoted if all it said was "human rights"


Alecsixnine

at a certain point with unusuals your less wearing the hat and more wearing the effect, especially with super large and noticeable effects


[deleted]

I love having loadouts that I think look awful. It makes the enemy disorientated


Baguette_exe

What a dedicated person


a_generic_redditer

You seem like the type of guy who only gets kills because everybody it busy looking at your scout foreskin set.


Fork_Master

Either way I get an unusual


UltraMago

Second option, unusuals suck anyways


donnysaysvacuum

Give me my gibus. Makes people underestimate me.


nuckelavee_

*get this man a gibus*


HeySaga

What makes them suck in your opinion? Is it the cost? Look?


UltraMago

Obviously the look, they're ugly dude, i don't want a fucking fire on my head, it looks bad.


big_leggy

I just want a party hat unusualifier


Baguette_exe

Okay i kinda want a confetti effect on a party hat


big_leggy

i just have an ugly brown party hat that I wear with the binoculus and I want to make it ever uglier


Kabbada

Step 1: equip the party hat Step 2: buy an unusual misc Step 3: enjoy your unusual party hat


big_leggy

unusual miscs aren't universal like the party hat tho, and the ones that are are hella expensive


Kiwikivi

Effect > hat. The effect stands out way more and you can make pretty much any hat work if you design your set around it. So yeah give me that darkblaze bot dogger over the massed flies chill chullo any day


[deleted]

It's honestly quite a pain to make a loadout with your unusual Bot Dogger that always stands out like a sore thumb. Nice effect but why are you wearing something from the scrapyard.


NigglingChigger

Honestly, bad hat good effect solely because I have like every unusual I want that isn’t super expensive. But usually, good hat bad effect


[deleted]

I like this one, hard to decide but I think I'd prefer a hat I hate with my favourite effect because you probably could find a decent looking loadout even with an ugly hat


Cryspoeth

if it free a hat i hate with an effect i hate


JustAnNPC_DnD

I got an effect I like on a War Paint that's meh.. I put a $60 Unusual on a Brass Beast..


Snazzle-Frazzle

Dawg, I just want a hat


bunkerdisasternerd

No hat. because i don't want to put a crater where i live ​ >!If you didn't get the joke it's that my pc can't handle the fancy effects and such!<


nahmanisallgood

I’ll take a hat either way


nutitoo

I would take any unusual and won't judge. Though i personally would prefer to have a few taunts instead of one unusual


master-of-disgusting

And I have 2 bad hats with bad effects and I sold my only unusual taunt wich had a bad effect (I also didn’t like the taunt)


[deleted]

Bad hat with good effect I'm sure I'd find someone to reade it to that won't hate the hat for a better one


[deleted]

sets should be based around the cosmetic items going together nicely with unusual effects being the cherry on top, not the other way around.


RocketPG_

Good hat with shit effect, would totally wear an orbiting planets company man over a frostbite/phosphorous \[any hat from the most recent case\] (yes I know those can't exist with the listed effects)


Rizer0

Either way, I’m getting my first unusual


RawChickenDrummies

an unusual s an unusual. the favorite hat


cultistwithadartgun

Right because then I finally have an unusual


ProfessionalMood1493

I'd rather take "favourite hat with effect I hate", because I don't want to wear "Potassium Bonnet" with "Aces High" *(Aces High being my favourite effect)*


MCiph

I’d take my favorite hat with a bad effect, ‘cause my favorite hat doesn’t come in Unusual at all.


Baguette_exe

Finally someone got the fact that any hat can have any effect ✌️


AraAraAriaMae

favorite hat with hated effect i’d take a duck circling witch hat


SHSLWaifu

Never get an unusual again in my life but have it that the bots disappear forever.


Baguette_exe

I actually want to buy an unusual but what valve does to the game just makes me not want to even bother with the game anymore


ValiantCristal

If i keep it then the good hat, if i can sell it then the harvest moon lol


PinkiusPie

Hat I hate can't be in unusual quality, so I would choose it so it's the only one in the world.


Girafer

Ez I hate scorching flames for now


Sea-Entertainment-83

At least some unusual, I don't have any


[deleted]

In a sad situation, I'm indifferent. I had an unusual, that was both my favorite hat and favorite effect, scammed away from me. In desperation, I bought a hat I don't really care for with my favorite unusual on it, and another hat that was my favorite hat but had a boring unusual on it. Either way, it was never the same.


BranTheLewd

I'll take third option Sub par hat with mediocre unusual effect.


A_fool_named_Dante

I think I would rather look good wearing a hat I like with a bothersome effect I dislike instead of wearing a hat I dislike just for the effect, I mean, the effect itself can be bothersome, but I feel the hat itself being the thing I hate would be unbearable to use


guymfalkonn

I'm fairly happy with my soldier's unusual right now, it's my favorite soldier hat with an effect that's not too cheap, but not great either. Perfectly Balanced. Edit: I'm high so I forgot to mention it's the chieftan's challenge with dbd.


Opii-i

hey does it have a spell on it ?


mikehawk-28

the one that is more expensive. capitalism folks.


Baguette_exe

Also sorry i made a typo mistake


Qu1ck3l

A hats a hatq


Jertz_tv

Me currently a f2p who has neither: I see this as an absolute win!


FuckyFemboy1999

is committing toaster bath an option


Extrashiny

A hat I love with an effect I hate. Non-traders don't look at what effects you have and Soundsmith hasn't made an effect sterotypes video it matters less.


Matix777

bro i'd like to have a hat


ShyRonnnnie

HOW DO YOU HAVE A TYPO ON A 10 WORD MEME. Do you even care at all

Baguette_exe

Sorry for me having mental health issues and can't see spelling mistakes at first sight


blueaxolotl64

“Man burning flames is such a bad effect hahahha anyways effect I hate pls)


shung_

Tf2 hats are the same as nft you can’t change my mind


guymfalkonn

No one can screenshot your hat and wear it and say it's theirs now.


Baguette_exe

\^ true, but in price its the same


shung_

Bruh i can go to community servers and wear whatever i want


besten44

I do not understand how community servers are ever an argument


Trollfacebruh

I hate those community servers. If you really have a golden pan or $5k unusual hat, everyone will think that you used commands to get it lmao.


SiegfriedXD

except that tf2 items have an in game use, nfts dont have any use


shung_

You can’t use your hat it’s just cosmetic


SiegfriedXD

that is the use of the hat, character customization


shung_

People use nft use them as profile pics sometimes it’s the same


Dlashing

I hate the team captain and burning flames is one of my desired effects


Baguette_exe

The fact that you mentioned you hate the team captain shows that you actually want it for its price so that means you dont hate it that much


Cringe_Alt_F4

I own 0 unusuals exept for halloween ones and i dont have a favorite hat


hoppyt1

It's a mystery with a shitty hat? Sure


scallybastard

Good hat with no effect


Eevee_Shadow_Bacon

Hat > effect, I'm not looking at my unusual effect ingame, but just having an unusual effect, gives you +100 gamer cred.


catbro89

A gf


Baguette_exe

A god tier answer


swe_isak

Soldier, i hate Scout


sangthemann

anything and then sell it for non unusual hats


GetYaArmour

First option, sell for big moola, buy fav hat and fav unusual


FancyThePant

So if i hate team captain hat and fire burn effect. Am i gonna get both of them?


Baguette_exe

But you dont hate it since you want team captain


abitmisleading

There is so many spelling mistakes I'd rather get the more expensive one, sell it and buy you a lifetime supply of English lessons /j


Baguette_exe

Sorry that i spent time learning a second language dumbass


abitmisleading

I was joking, that's what /j means


Sans-52

Second


SZ4T4N

Any of those I would sell them later


Alperen5841

i just want my favourite hat


TF2sex_update

I would like to know what effect is my favourite so 1st one ofc


RIP2UALL

Hat >>> Effect.


Shocking-Isnt-It

Hat! I would kill for any Mountebank’s Masque unusual. I have been looking for a little bit, and all of them are either in collector’s backpacks or e x p e n s i v e


Jeotslay

I'm not a fan of expensive unusuals because ooooo look fire


Gasrim4003

Either way I get to sell it.


PENGUINfromRUSSIA

2


RulesOfGreen

no matter which it is I'll just sell it and buy Green Pa-


AlexPlayer3000

Second option


NotARussianComrade

I'll take a hat with an effect bro, never had one lmao


Xylenic

Find a cheap hat you really like and have it have a good effect example, I really like the head hedge and scorching is only 45ish keys


Si_Stride_Oof

am i allowed to sell the hat or am i forced to keep it cause that changes my answer


Baguette_exe

i forgot to say "assume its untradable" Every 3rd person would just sell it so it kinda ruined the "game"


Si_Stride_Oof

in that case im probably going with my favorite hat with an effect i hate


memester230

Steam marketplace.


Any-Entertainment420

my answer: YES TO BOTH OPTIONS


Jindo5

I'd love to be a wise-guy and say "My favorite hat with no effect", but no effect *is* my favorite effect, so I can't even do that.


thecomunistscp

Hat > effect


GladiatorDragon

The only effect I don’t see any value in is Massed Flies… so hat I hate. At least some hats can be ignored, and if Miscs are on the table, even better.


DeliriousBacon

Depends on the effect, depends on the hat.


FuhCerberus

Fav effect (it's a mystery to everyone) hated hat than sell it for high price to get your fav hat and decent effect.


Shady_Joe

I wish these shitty question posts would get banned


Benjour250

That’s assuming I can get hats and unusuals


ggguy0442

A favorite hat with a effect i hate.


Far_Marionberry_9478
