You've created something that could be a game on its own outside of tf2's limitations, congrats

maybe etf2l will do a ban post to add the newly vac banned accounts.

You'll regret this in a week

pretty good tbh.
changing bpm/ having access to more keys/ having a continuous mode (like on a ribbon keyboard) would be super nice too

who's candice?

And why not fritata27?

Sure, but that argument can be applied to koth/5cp/whatever else too :)

I love random crits in pubs to keep me on my toes. I know anything could happen to me and it leads to both extremely funny and slightly frustrating moments.

+ I'm pretty sure the whip has 90% crit chance

well there should be a difference between losing mid giving up one or two frags, and getting wiped on mid.

This is things that can get fixed on new map designs using height advantage and door width differently. For example, why do people standing on 4th CP get a defenders advantage from height (badlands/process/sunshine) or from doors impossible to get thru (snakewater)?
Or why is there a forward spawn on mid?
Theres lots of stuff that can be done and that does not depend on the number of control points on the map.

@Spacecadet : something similar exists : cp_standin. I'm not sure you want gameplay split between 3 or 4 different places in a game where getting outflanked too much led to many maps death.

Without proper design of chokes and height differences between zones, this will lead people to go for the dom win all the time. Imagine ascent vs 7 on badlands with 7 going for the 0/0, and getting rewarded with it.

Interested in why you think that badlands brings balance to scout dominated meta; I agree with you for granary though

whether you like it or not, granary has an unique layout among 6s maps, and therefore offers a slightly different gameplay to master.

badlands also has unique things like open ressuply, an actual lobby forward hold, and a last impossible to push out from a spire fight that sets it apart from other maps. It also used to have a unique last cap time and scarce ammo but these features have been removed.

Not saying the maps are perfect, but if you remove them you're just going to make the game even less varied.

It depends on what is decent for your standards.
On one hand you might be bad compared to high/prem players (500 players?)
On another hand you're much more skilled at tf2 than 98% of pub players (a few million players?).

What's holding you back? Aim/movement, or decision making/teamplay?

If you have shit skills but good gamesense and good team play, I assure you that you can do well up to division 2, because that's what I did D:. If you have shit gamesense but good skills you can reach the same level too, as most dm donkeys prove it season after season (some go even higher)

You are also probably not looking at the right indicators for performance. IIRC you're scout, and I suspect that you keep a close eye on your logs, or even your K/D and damage on the scoreboard during games.

Here's an experiment : enable match hud (tf_use_match_hud) , unbind your scoreboard, turn off killfeed (hud_deathnotice_time). Play for your team, feed to support teammates, feed to buy time for your respawns, feed for the stickies attacking last. How's your team performing? Could you tell? I can assure you that being an annoyance for the enemy and an asset in comms for your team far eclipses any miserable K/D you might feel you have.

Hell even Giroud didn't do anything this world cup and he still won :)

Next, ask yourself why getting good feels so important to you that you go so hard on yourself. Maybe instead of wanting to focus on the game, as you say, you should focus on enjoying your time.

Not really what I expected either

Wiethoofd your version looks quite good. It'd be great if there was some tick box to enable this as a dark theme directly on one's dashboard.
