I have 150-300 ping on servers I typically get 10-30 ping to in chicago (I live in CNY). Interestingly, valve servers and very specific community servers I have no ping issues with. I have tried:

• Checking to make sure my network settings havent been fucked with
  
• Restarting TF2
  
• Restarting Steam
  
• Restarting my PC
  
• Restarting my router

Any tips?

never seen his scout, but his demo DM is great for only having played iron. He's improved tons the past season, due to both his strong dedication and work with Jaguar as a mentor. Frags hard, fun to hang out with, pick him up if you need a solid demoman.

Not only have there been pop-up advertisements, there have been random incredibly loud video ads. It's actually why I ended up installing an adblock plugin to Chrome, although I would turn it back off if I didn't get "Windows Registry Update" malware redirects.

I feel like every team I make either dies or does terrible for really dumb reasons, and I'm heavily emotionally invested into TF2 so I just feel really shit a lot of the time. I want to join someone else's team, but I'm afraid it's going to be a repeat of last season where I don't improve because I have to relearn everything I did the previous season with my team due to having to join a low/mid open roster last second. I don't mean that in a bad way, just that this is like my third or fourth season of open and I'd really like to be able to play on a team that does well instead of just grinds to improve. While I do want to improve every day, I just don't want to have to go over all of the basics of 6s every season just because I end up with players with 0 ESEA seasons/experience.

Is this still being worked on, or is it abandoned?

good scout, smart player. works very well with combo, is always filling in gaps where his pocket/demo fail. pounded on my scrim team preseason, get this man a team

Played on my scrim team preseason. Dominates the flank and has great timing as a soldier.

Team is dead dont bother

bump desperately need good medic tryouts. possibly need scout tryouts. try to have good aim and a brain, and if you have synergy with players on the team already/mesh well with others easily thats a plus

Bumping, my open team died Playing soldier or medic mid-high open, scout/demoman low-mid open. Can maincall on pocket/medic, can rollout/position on demoman, can move/not bot on scout. Add me

bump need scouterinos that pound in case the scouts I want to pick up commit to a different team

you what

scrollwheel bhopping literally everywhere and changing my killsound all the time

I have an incredible ego and try and take credit for a lot of things that are only half truths, despite knowing what I am saying is wrong. I shittalk tons of newer open players who will honestly probably be better than me with the same experience, and that definitely already have better DM skill. I play on iron/steel teams as a mentor because I genuinely think I can teach them something, only to end up attempting to carry them because of my poor teaching ability and lack of experience on scout/demoman.

I am way to trusting with people, and should be more cautious with whom I trust information with. My server RCON is pretty much public within everyone I know, anyone I've tried to do anything with has fucked me over in the end, (Extreme PUGs Katie, Gold-IM PUGs Puppy, That wierd eSports org thing with that one shady dude whose name slips my mind). Only recently have I actually attempted to make myself stop looking like a mongoloid by attempting to do things like make a PUG group for new maps to benefit mapmakers. Even then my trust seems misguided, as one of my admins didnt even bother to properly host pugs when I told him in advance I'd be gone.

At the same time though, I feel like so much is out of my hands. I have a shitty mouse, so my shitty aim is potentially caused by that for all I know. I have a 144hz monitor, but can't really utilize it since my video card doesnt have outputs for 144hz 1080p. I have the money to buy new shit, but I can't use it, as it is in my tax return checks. I would cash them, but I have no bank account and can't create one because my parents lost my social security card and though they claim it is in the mail it is a week past the expected arrival of it. Because of this I can't get a job either, which is incredibly frustrating because my parents won't allow me to get a learner's permit unless I hold a job, and also because they constantly bother myself and my brother about it.

I probably have AD/HD as well, though my parents think I'm a retarded self-diagnosing 16 year old (despite consulting my therapist and friends with the disorder about it). Anything that would be usually seen as a "symptom" they seem to construe as "my son is a pathetic idiot who doesn't care about anyone but himself." Shitty focus and trouble remembering assignments/chores/appointments? Na, he just doesnt give a shit. Poor grades in school and homework incomplete, however not by refusal or inability? Lazy fuck. I've gone over the survey that they've given my parents to take and for them to give to my teachers, and I ring the fucking bell for every possible symptom. Either I have some sort of other brain damage, or AD/HD. But what do I know, being the edgy 16 year old that I am :P
