Here goes, let me make it as short and sweet as I can:
I'm looking for a Demoman mentor whose willing to help out a starting out competitive demoman for both highlander and 6v6. I know the basics of the class, and I usually hit pipes that aren't spam. I'd like help in any possible way, ranging from sticky placement, to positioning, to rollouts and everything in between.
I'm willing to listen and use what I've been taught to improve and become better, and I also take criticism well, so feel free to let me have it. My previous experience is nothing but a few PUGs and lobbies.

Try finding a team first.
Not only will this help improve you in general, but it will also give you more coordination to work off of. PUGs and lobbies won't teach you shit except for the basics.

Dont focus on being good with your pipes, focus on sticky spamming and just using pipes to mainly spam choke points / spam. Only thing i notice is starting demos rely on pipe dm which takes away a big factor of being good with stickies in the long run. Thats my 2 cents.

I'm mainly asking for the help so that I can get good enough to get on a team. And I know that PUGs and Lobbies don't really help, but I figured it was worth putting in so that a person reading knows that I know the basics.

I need help with stickies too. Like something beyond just using stickies in Pubs, because I do that already, and more often then not, people seem to kinda just... Walk into them on purpose, in seems.

You don't need to have a specific level of skill to find a team. There's not some test that you have to pass before any team will even consider you, you just have to find people that are willing to play with you. If you have any friends who are interested in forming a team, talk to them and see what you can come up with. If not, try the recruitment forum either here or on the UGC forums and try out for some teams. You're bound to come up with something eventually if you keep putting yourself out there.
Getting on a team and starting to play regularly will likely do much more to help you learn than getting a mentor at this point. You haven't had the chance to develop any, so asking someone to critique your play won't do you much good. Regardless, I sent you an invite. I'm not amazing myself but I can give you a few nudges in the right direction and do what I can to help with finding a team.

thing is it's not easy to find people willing to play with you if your skill level isn't up to par. All my friends are better than me at this game, so I'm only a backup on their team... just sayin

I guarantee you will be able to find a spot on a UGC iron team. That division exists precisely for people in your situation, starting out in competitive TF2.
