I still haven't found the perfect sens for me, tbf. I alternate between 15.1 ad everything up to 15.7, depending on whether im struggling to keep up or whether it feels too quick.

Don't most scouts play on maybe 9-15 inches though? I think Shrugger's is like 13, Yomps about 15 something and I think I read that Ruwin and Starkie play/ed on something like 17 or more, though I may be wrong.

If I have a high sens I tend to be more erratic with my aim because of the speed of it all, whereas on a lower one I tend to more guide my mouse onto enemies. I recently spent a long time trying to find the perfect sens after having about 12 inches, and I changed to 15.1 and immediately hit so many more of my shots. The downside is that if a quick enemy is close to me and running past, it's sometimes tough to turn and keep my crosshair on them, or, at least, they may find it easier if they have a higher sens.

Why would it be a problem?

15.7 inches per 360 btw.

Ha, my scout sens is like 15.7.

I tend to lose focus and go on a mad m1 spree where I hit fuck all. Usually against a slippery medic or sniper. Very embarrassing.

Twitch memes are very lame and childish.

I reinstalled the game instead of faffing.

Crosshair switchers have been a ballache from start to finish really

Thanks for your advice.

weirdly I don't seem to have an auto exec, so i'm just looking for shit randomly.

For ages I was trying to get Broesel's crosshair switcher to work, and I eventually gave up and installed this CrosshairSwitcher thing that works as like a separate program where you choose your crosshairs for each class and then it implements the changes to your TF2 folder.

Unfortunately the default crosshair I use for scout is too small on this switcher and I want to remove the whole thing. Like an idiot I just deleted the CrosshairSwitcher program on my desktop and it hasn't removed everything.

How do I get rid of all the program's effects please? Any help appreciated.

Maybe it would be better if it just stopped people coming further towards you, but didn''t actually push them anywhere. That way it could still deny ubers, albeit a nerf.

IDK, I hate it but others may not.

Quite possibly.

That said, if you really want to know how to bring new players to comp you should ask the new players, or run it through their perspective. They're the ones who will really know what brings in new players, right?

Imo there's also no substitute for Valve integration/communication; so, information on comp/getting to comp located in the actual game, maybe a bit like the twitch streams on the homepage.

With regards to hackers and also people who just leave games, maybe you could display how often players abandon or have been reported. Show this before games and so the other players can see and leave safely before the round starts.

Maybe not a perfect solution in that it doesn't punish abandoners or hackers (other than they maybe find it difficult to get games), but at least it safeguards other players and puts them in a position where they can choose to play it out or not if they see somebody flagged as risky.

Even if casual is replacing quickplay forever, I think Valve really should tell people (I mean really shout at them on the main page) that they can go on community servers and replicate or even better the quickplay experience. I myself usually just forget about community servers in my haste to play.

I know, that would require communication from Valve, right?

But he isn't talking about comp tf2 is he?

I thought it was more about casual and how it's not quickplay pubs. I think he has a point. It would be nice for the old quickplay pubs to be an option as well, for when people want to fart around quickly.

I've spent about 100 hours stalled or even worse than I was before. ( i only have 600 hours)

I got a new mouse, tried new sens, reinstalled the game and lost my visuals, went away for 3 weeks, and now I just can't hit shit as a scout.

I'm contemplating lowering my sens to help my scout aim, but if i do it makes soldier and demo more difficult for me.

So yeah, I feel your pain.

Not qualified to advise you on TF2 improvement specifically, but watch some videos and read articles about the theory of improvement.

There's a certain methodology to improving in anything. Just doing the same thing over and over again, for example, is actually not going to make you get better. Or, should I say, it's a much slower process if that's how you try and improve. You have to keep testing yourself, perhaps by setting measurable goals for improvement (for example, somebody shite like me will aim to win 10 points in MGE against a quality player or whatever)

Seriously, look up the theory behind improvement.
