odb has got to be one of my favourite teammates of all time he is hilarious and he has so much potential

I cant even explain how I feel about him just try him out if you let him go you will regret it one day when he is crushing your team

he is great at every class but his specialty is definitely projectiles

his only reoccurring problems on demo that I noticed is that he is always looking to help and seems to never be afraid to die if it helps his teammates sometimes this is good but sometimes bad but I have no doubt in my mind that he will learn when its good and when its bad

Luxors medic play

I was his pocket last season I was main calling most things and he would follow my calls really well rarely throwing but if I didn't call something sometimes he would turn into a lost puppy but like he said he does look to improve and he receives criticism really well most of the time

I think personality is a really important part of medic and luxor is really funny some of my best memories from that team was because of him even if he isn't being the life of the party all he does is laugh he is amazing

Luxors scout play

only seen it in pugs and pugscrims he seemed to take both decently seriously he is definitely capable of playing on a high open team as scout imo his DM is great and more importantly he talks a lot

I think atm he can be a high open scout and if he is not right now I know by the end of the season he will be

you should really give him a chance gl luxor

oh and sometimes he can be a shithead but its all in good fun imo

" I consistantly do well in MGE, pugs, and DM servers."

a lot of the time doing well in those things is not efficient practice

im not sure what you want to improve on specifically but it sounds like you have played enough to feel comfortable in most categories now what I recommend is practicing something specific

focus in on just aim during a session of DM try to not rocket jump much and dont play positioning like crates or anything just focus on hitting each rocket even deep mid range splashes dont be afraid to miss but try to aim each rocket well if you are going to die to someone at least dont let them get away cleanly always try to at least land 1 juicy rocket

next time maybe try to focus on jumping and staying alive (this will frustrate people and people may say its bad practice) in my opinion if you can learn to focus on not just your enemies but your teammates it can help tremendously try to see where your scouts are going in DM or where your other soldier is jumping and follow up on them try to see everyone not just your enemies wait for your opening and jump to your teammates and help them out

like I said people may get mad at that and its understandable but its actually great practice for real games in general there are 2 main things scouts can do for movement either AD mash vs hitscan and doublejump vs projectiles but AD mashing sucks vs projectiles and double jumping is very predictable for hitscan so if you can help your scouts out by sending rockets at AD mashing scouts they can help you out by shooting the double jump spamming ones this kind of coordination will allow everyone to play more confident and aggressive while still being safe

sorry for wall of text with no punctuation im stupid :( I hope you understand gl friend^^

one more thing you might want to try and get active maybe go for a walk in the morning or find something you enjoy that gets you on your feet even if its just a little bit when you are bored a healthy body = a healthy mind and healthy minds think fast and can focus much easier

I got mine yesterday

I played 3 matches 2 were smooth and one was very laggy (I have bad canadian internet) game is really fun so far

if he wants to play and win he has great DM and talks a decent amount

I played with him a long time ago on a sniper only orange server and he added me for tips about sniping or somethin then the only time we talked was when he needed help with something about his computer

we even played MGE once a while back and he was really good for his age which is around 14 I believe rip my tf2 son :(

I like that things are being changed it sucks that some matches might be unpredictable with such changes happening but valve is looking forward and I think we have to as well because if we want this game to be alive Valve are the ones to give that to us so we cant just ban everything they do think about the big picture

my suggestion for mediguns and weapon drops

weapons at least mediguns need to despawn after 10 seconds I really dont think its fair to spawn and pick up your own old medigun

maybe the longer the medigun stays on the ground the less uber it retains say a medic drops and the weapon lays on the ground for 5 seconds it will have drained 50% of its uber then 7 seconds of laying it will be down to 30% 9 seconds 10% and then it despawns at 10 second mark

that way if you go really fast which is dangerous if the enemy team can adapt and spam their own dead medigun to keep you away you can be rewarded with high % but you cant go around picking up 90% all the time

Yeah you are right I did not consider all the situations I was always thinking the team that dropped was holding middle at least but if you are on your own second and you drop uber you can potentially insta lose if the enemy team plays it fast and correctly

maybe dropped mediguns should despawn after 10 seconds and only give half the % to the enemy team that way if you drop while holding your own second the enemy team cant be ubered into your last before the medic who dropped is even respawned?

I still personally like it because I would rather 1 team win and go back to mid fights rather than stalemates at last with offclasses but I know thats just what I prefer

just played a couple games with this

the only bad thing is dying at last respawning and taking your own medigun the despawn timer on weapons should be reduced to 10-15 seconds would also reduce the major clutter going on

the situation you explained is nearly the same thing weather you can pick up the enemy uber or not

Red uber exchanges into mid blu medic drops along with the blu medics death at least 1 other player dies

Red blobs their medic and cleans up the desperate players left with the choice of running and hiding or saccing in both dont work if red pays attention

Red caps mid and second and has uber advantage to push last

now if you can pickup the enemy uber

Red uber exchanges into mid blu medic drops along with the blu medics death at least 1 other player dies

Red medic picks up medigun while being blobbed by his players lets say he gets it safely (the roamer doesn't camp the medigun or jump where he knows Blu medic died as Red medic goes to pick it up)

Red team takes mid and second and already has uber to push into last

its the same thing the only difference being that if you have to wait a build its boring and 1 team can setup with heavy engi pyro sniper and lame you out and then not be able to pushout anyway because they have a million offclasses and then you sit at last for 10 minutes instead of just winning because 1 team made a mistake and playing a mid fight

also about medic being less fun and interesting how is that even possible an entire new feature was added that they get to account for uber advantages are no longer just counting and comparing the enemy percent with your percent you gotta think about where mediguns were dropped and if they coulda picked them up

more ubers more fighting more fun

sorry for no punctuation I died before reaching grade 8 and never learned

most situations your medic can pick up the enemy medics ubergun is a situation where you will have uber advantage either way you just get uber faster now which speeds the game up (less time for lvl 3 gun and heavy) more ubers more fighting

im pretty sure thats not it it will happen at all speeds and its not a small jitter or stutter I could travel my entire mousepad and barely look around in game even with a decently fast sensitivity (7inches/360)

Using a Zowie FK and a Puretrak talent

been using both for quite a while I washed the puretrak multiple times in the washer/dryer (maybe thats why?)

recently my mouse is having troubles tracking diagonally on most of the pad or in any direction if I do it fast it will just get stuttery and barely move

if I take the mouse off the pad and blow on the sensor or point it toward my fan then its fine I just have to keep doing it everyone 20 or so seconds and its fine besides once where it completely shit itself for an entire round no matter where I was on the pad or how I was aiming it was jittery and barely moving

if I plug in my old ass deathadder it has no problems anywhere on the pad

so I was just wondering if this was the Zowie FK or my puretrak talent fucking up or maybe both? keep in mind I have been using them together for so long with no problems its probably been nearly a year maybe longer for my Zowie FK
