In my experience, tf2center is a great way for me to get back into comp after not playing for months because i'm rusty and bad at this game. I've had quite a few lobbies where everyone was actually really good about communicating and nobody was raging or being assholes.
Granted, anytime I notice that Thief or b. aka blackymonster and crew are stacking lobbies, I just don't bother and look for a different one.
Radium is an incredible guy, really good presence to have on your team and in your mumble. He's also been playing this game for a long time and is very experienced.

How can you say that? 99+% players will make a decision to, lets say, kill the other team's medic. Goes behind, misses a bunch of shots for whatever reason. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it was necessarily the wrong decision - they just failed the execution.
In some cases, yes, you can attribute you making a decision to your skill in executing said decision. HOWEVER, making a decision to do something out of your comfort zone is what helps make you a better player.
Fair point. I guess in my head, when I'm going to try something out of my comfort zone like that, I say to myself "I don't know if this is a good decisions, but I'm going to see if it works." Which, to me, is different from saying "it was the right decision, I'm just not good enough to have successfully pulled it off".
I think what I'm trying to say is that players should be able to distinguish between rationalizing a result with "I made the correct decision, I just didn't execute it properly" and "I made the right decision, I just don't have the DM/skill to backup what I tried to do". It'd be like a scout managing to get in and have a few shots on the medic, but missed them (using the former to rationalize why it went wrong) and a scout that tried to walk into a 2v1 or something (and saying "if I had just hit more shots I would've won that fight). In that last case, it might've been the right decision for someone like clockwork, but for someone else (like me), it'd be the wrong one.
I just got the impressions from Kapoww's comment that you shouldn't base your decisions off of your DM, because you should absolutely factor that into any of your decision making.
You should probably say what level you're looking to play at. Judging by your hours, you might want to consider posting on the UGC forums as well.
KapowwclorgThis is a neat idea, but everything you just showed was just dependent on your raw dm abilities and I didn't really notice any "decision making" on your part. You just aimed and killed the guys, if anything it was just a frag video with you casting. Maybe if you went more in depth and talked about why/how you lost fights it would be a better learning experience.
I'm trying to avoid 10 min videos but if people would rather that, I could do it
Oh so one problem I face is finding clips. There are some where I play it well but come out with nothing to show for it but think the majority of players need to see kills for assurance. I'm trying to find a middle ground but I understand what you mean. I've mentored players that make good choices but don't come out with kills because of mediocre dm so they think they made the wrong choice.
Shouldn't that be part of your advice? Play to your DM ability, if you died because of mediocre DM then you made the wrong decision.
TheFragileI think most people that play multiplayer games become very uninterested in single player after a while.
The only games I played before tf2 were games like Bioshock, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Elder Scrolls etc. I played tf2 cause it had that free weekend and it sounded kind of fun, but I thought "I will still always prefer single player games".
Now I barely spend any time at all in single player games, after like 15 minutes I just think I'd rather practice airshots and stuff.
Doesn't max polling rate mean it'll be better because it's sending/receiving information faster? As far as I understand, dpi doesn't matter all that much.
AloSecslipzOr this might be a crazy idea, why not learn to scrim two maps during the week. It isn't that hard to say, he lets play this map one time and then lets play the other map. I don't understand why this is such a hard thing to do with tf2 scrims.there are many teams only playing esea and other teams only playing cevo. these teams don't want to scrim on a map that's not the map of the week for this league, so they won't play each other.
Yeah but the other map is sure to come around at some point in the season, what's the harm in practicing something ahead of time? And there are plenty of things a team can work on that aren't map-specific.
I heard b4nny was just switching back for gullywash. Why is he switching back for just a single map? And does that mean he'll play demo on any gully rounds at LAN?
If you end up deciding to go north a ways, I have a couch in Alaska that you can surf on.
dashnerPretty fantastic to see what is essentially a successor to the ETF2L Highlander Challenge back in 2010.
That's what initially got me into competitive TF2 and it was a very fun tournament to be a part of.
I think it was the frag video of that tournament that got me into comp.
Will this be on Gullywash?

Climbing ain't chill, it is actually incredibly exhausting. It's mad fun, though
I find it pretty relaxing. Especially when I'm doing it outdoors somewhere and it's sunny and warm out and I can lie down on a big ol' rock between climbs or chill at the belay ledge...
I mean just tell me this ain't one of the most peaceful places to be:
