play esea

there's no real set "you should be doing the most damage" class/position.

if youre soaking up a lot of heals ya you should justify it but look at rando
go to the statistics on esea and do invite only. the top 10 DPM has one of every single position in there.

as far as not wanting to carry/give teammates a chance you should really just worry about improving and winning. i know if i had a roamer carrying the shit out of me and we're rolling i wouldnt be complaining

finally, it's ugc. not exactly the place for "this is how competitive tf2 is played ideally"

iron is a joke don't worry

The points don't matter

top damaging as roamer isnt really that big of a deal in iron when scouts don't leave the ground on purpose very often
but yeah like dettr said definitely play esea

ideally you don't want to be on a team that relies on you carrying in order to win, but at the same time stats don't matter. winning matches/scrims and getting better as a team is what matters and if you're doing that i wouldn't worry, just frag dumb scouts

if you are actually trying to improve you should be doing whatever you think will help your team win and if carrying results in that you should do that

your post also makes you come off as quite the egotistical player

stats dont mean shit focus on winning and learning from your mistakes when you dont

this post feels like an attempt at bragging

subtle brag

Not that subtle.

You guys decide if this is good or bad

BTW you're not roamer if you get 1K+ more heals than the other soldier

These are not roamer heals.

Unless you're being mentored by mustard.

he has the most heals in all of these logs

either he has roamer and pocket confused or he's playing roamer terribly wrong

Nice, those logs would indicate that you must be high iron, maybe even steel.

from what it sounds like, you may just want to switch to pocket if you're having this much, err, success on roamer. But then again, there is the ugc iron factor in all of this. So it's probably better to already be looking to get yourself cemented in higher levels of play, whether that be esea or simply a higher ugc division with a better team

pretty sure sizzlingstats counts health packs taken in heals received so the fact that he got 1000 more heals received than his pocket is a good thing assuming he was making good use of health packs

that being said it's hard to tell without logs.tf (which has a separate health packs stat and consequentially more accurate heal stats)

i don't think sizzlingstats counts health packs i think it's just that logs.tf counts overheals and sizzlingstats doesn't

could be wrong tho

no, ss now counts health packs

so these are completely meaningless

its probably because in iron as roamer you can get away with so much shit that it isnt even funny

this IS a pug but there is no way you're roaming here

9 results on your logs.tf and already bragging... damn you have a big e-peen

rofl liko this is gold!

To those of you who gave advice, thanks. To those saying I have a big ego, that wasn't intended, I'm just wondering if there's something wrong with the team balance, that's all. I see that I'm getting too many heals as roamer, thanks again fellas. :)

I see this happen with a lot of new roamers, where you get a ton of heals and top frag/dmg. That's not the point of roamer though, you need to be helping your scout hold the flank. If you're sitting with the combo and soaking up a ton of heals, sure you'll have great stats but your scout is going to have a hell of a time alone on the flanks. And if he gets picked off (which can easily happen, as you're essentially forcing him into a 2v1 position), that leaves your team wide open for flanking sollies/scouts.

So yeah as a lot of people have said, the points dont matter. You need to be playing your role

edit: Another thing you should be doing is jumping in on mids or in teamfights, to create space, do damage or just draw attention to yourself. This isn't a glorified role since it'll often lead to your death, but it gives your team a huge advantage. Those few seconds where everyone on the enemy team is looking at you and trying to pick you off are seconds your team can use to move forward and crush some nerds

Welcome to roamer, where the frags are made up and the points don't matter.

why is this even a thread
