i came into a mumble where he was hanging out in there, he really wasn't as bad as his rep makes him out to be.

we all do dumb shit its not a reason to hate him for life just yet

Replying to these troll posts would not be in my best interest but for this one I feel like I need too. So, while I was in a pug this guy started talking to me as if he knew me from years ago. I had no idea who he was so I said I don't think I'm the guy your thinking of. In response he said "Man you shouldn't use that name, everyones gonna think your that guy with the badass roll outs on youtube". I responded with something like "Nah man I'm more known as the guy who duels on pubs n stuff." So I made that post in my group.

Atomisk is fun to hang around with and an amazing person he makes me smile and laugh why is tftv such a sweaty circlejerk?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

But um really like sure he's been cocky in the past and had a weird group thing in the past but I've played with him hung out with him he makes me smile and its generally fun to hang with him. Tftv community is just a group of sweaty preteens that sits around smelling each others farts and saying how great they smell then someone who wears a different brand of shoes farts and they say how fucking gross it is sheesh no wonder why most of the players I know hardly post here.

So against my better judgment I'm going to revive this thread with a few words of encouragement because I know Atomisk's still looking for a team. I've played with him since last August or so and think I have a decent idea of Atomisk's strengths and weaknesses. Keep in mind I'm a shitty Steel HL medic so my thoughts on this could be entirely off-base. His DM is good (really good for a Steel HL level, probably passable for low open), his jumps could use some work, his gamesense isn't the greatest, but he's also pretty keen on getting better and would be a solid pickup for a low open team that is as keen as him at getting better. He's dedicated to comp TF2 and you could definitely do worse than giving him a try.

But obviously the complaints here aren't about his gameplay and are more addressed to his attitude. Atomisk has an ego, loves to shittalk players, is incredibly blunt, hates players who don't share his dedication to improvement, is incredibly blunt, and gets really excited when he can beat higher level players in MGE. Most of these negatives are exacerbated in an Internet forum when you don't actually get the chance to talk to him. He's actually a pretty chill and funny guy, he doesn't take shittalking personally if it isn't meant personally. I ragged on him constantly in mumble, telling him he was shit, saying I wouldn't heal him if he didn't shut up (and then following through on the threat, you can check the logs), intentionally dropping him in ubers, etc. We're on good terms though (I think) because he realizes that these things are meant in good fun and I don't honestly think he's the worst TF2 player to ever touch a keyboard. If you're an IM player he doesn't know who hops into his mumble and does nothing but talk about how you're so much better than a Steel HL player, then yeah, he's gonna get pissed. I probably would too. If you're willing to be constructive with your criticism, he'll respect you and constantly talk about how excited he is to get mentoring/help from a "good player." Same thing goes with the MGE wins. He talks about how he beat b4nny in MGE because he idolizes higher level players. He's excited that, even with the obvious limitations of MGE, he was able to go toe-to-toe with an invite player. He's keen to climb the ranks, and those little milestones excite him. I don't think that's the worst thing in the world.

I'm sure he's going to get in here and ruin the goodwill by overreacting to some minor slight in this thread, but I still think he deserves a hell of a lot better than he's been getting in these last few weeks. If you're looking for a roamer who loves playing TF2 and you're willing to get to know him before calling him a fucking moron, then you'll get a player more loyal than a cocker spaniel and funnier than... a narcoleptic cocker spaniel or something. He does like anime which I consider a dealbreaker but I'm sure there are some nerds out there who'd appreciate that. Best of luck to you Atomisk, don't make me look like an idiot.

I've been on a Steel HL team with Atomisk [and Maple] from last season until last week, right before our Borneo match, and I've rang for 2 of his ugc 6s teams.

Positive: Good dm, played more pocket than roamer from what I've seen, really isn't a bad guy until someone clashes with him, doesn't miss a lot of scrims nor matches, actively wants to get better + had a mentor. I think he's gotten less toxic than he used to.

Negative: He really needs work on gamesense, baits pretty hard, doesn't call damage numbers, gets loud when he dies, thinks mge is a better way to practice / warm up dm than actual dm servers because in dm servers, people will back out for a pack if they're low instead of trying to go for a clutch play.

tl;dr: training mod > training mod

I'm talking about his way of thinking more than his mod preference.
