just say no then -_-

so 1/4 is sane?

Sheepy,I understand and respect your decision of cutting Raptor, those kind of steps are sometimes neccesary and also dont only potencially get rid of a weak link but influence the teams moral. My whole point was just to prevent this thing where Raptor becomes a meme for being bad and people telling him that having the will to improve isnt equal with improvement. I also don´t judge you as a real life person ( which i never do ) since we are all on the internet using nicknames and most of the time prolly express ourselfs different to how we would in an offline world. I hope you find a medic that meets your demands.

This , my dear, is a public forum and you are able to read this at any given time. Do you know the definiton of "behind someones back"? Do you imply I should pay you a visit everytime I want to express an opinion about you as a player? You guys are mental

Im no the one in here telling people what improvement means and why effort doesnt mean they will ever become good :D Stefan it really is you not being and adult and having a go on matter you actually know very little about ( playing with or against Raptor). My personal life also has nothing to do with this matter as we are arguing on a video gaming board so what is your point. Im neither attacking you personally nor am I making up points that aren´t valid thus I also don´t see how i am behaving as if im not an adult or my nickname suiting me.

edit: Well this now turns into a personal attack when we are discussing esport players performance issues. I had my fair share of this tonight. I wish all the best to Planet Express and Raptor in their future tf2 adventures. Good night

It really is quite hilarious to see that after some years you now came to realize that this applies when it seemed it didn´t when your girlfriend wanted to actually play soldier for the national team for germany back in the days ( which you wanted too :D ). I do understand that you have a personal bias on that topic and that you are pussy whipped but what I would want you to do is stop being a hypocrite.

Raptor isn´t a medic that was born into greatness but has immense potenial to be on of the top five medics in EU TF2 in < 1 year. He´s already shown that he has improved and tthat he has the right mindset to be able to handle top tier tf2. The problem that he is facing at this moment of his career is a very common that has to do with our very little player base at the top. Whilst he is very keen to "relearn" the game from higher skilled players those players in his team are now people like sheepy and zoob. Sheepy was never known for his great insight in TF2 whilst having major personality issues and his pocket says 10 words a minute. If you add to this that his demoman is the worst in premiership you could say that the conditions are neither perfect nor good. What would need to happen is for an already existing premiership team to pick up Raptor and make him not maincall.

Let him develop within the team and find his role which would result in him not trying to be or even having to be (?) the maincaller with very limited experience in his current competitve sourrounding. It makes more sense to me to try to develop a player and make him your perfect medic bitch boy instead of cutting people due to performance issues within a team that will or will have to reform itself every season.

I would recommend everyone that is trying to form a good new team contesting low to mid prem but def winning high to pick up raptor ( pls dont pick him up on soldier - we need medics!) , put some effort into him and you will have a benefit in the long run. At the end of the day you can say that medic is the class where the smallest mistakes are the most punishable and influencial and thats why Raptor looks kind of shaky at times. Remember ,a fish rots from the head down.

peace

edit: I´ve cut people in the past and in teams I´ve led always and only for the reason of not showing the right ammount of effort. I´ve spent countless hours with maindemos, medics, roamers going over their demos - drawing ms paint cp_badlands last holds for people that didn´t speak english well enough so I am not talking nonsense when I am saying that you can mold players arround your team. More than often it comes down if the team is willing to put in the effort

edit#2: spaces for dmoule
