shooting a scout as he jumped up badlands dropdown and he cratered and then later i went lower right and shot him as he ran out of spawn and he cratered again lol

most of the interesting alt gamemodes (3cp with koth mid, 7cp, 2koth) tend to make game durations longer and less consistent and dont rly add much to the core game flow beyond novelty

double posted let’s go forums are back!

the convenience of discord both in communicating and creating servers kind of made forums largely unnecessary as an online town square. forums value comes directly from their cumbersome and (relatively) structurally heavy nature, which is a barrier too large for possibility of positive user growth since ~2016.

the other half is the death of shit talk, beef, heels, genuine trolling etc as elements of online conversation which has a lot of causes (plenty coming from discord and tumblr) that i don’t claim to have a full or cohesive understanding of

chunkeyy and fangles come 2 mind

every single ammo pack on every map should be a medium ammo pack

play newbie mixes ofc

watching streams or vods of ppl playing 6s (at any skill level really) is a good way to get a sense of what the game is usually like, and continue to get ideas for new plays/better positioning. lots of the top tf2 twitch streams from like 930-1130est will be people playing 6s at various skill levels. if you have particular players u like there's youtube channels that upload old vods from lots of top players, easy to find if you just search the players name

if you have a good idea of what class you want to play theres also plenty of good videos going over the basics (rollouts, positioning, plays, jobs, callouts etc) usually per map. some will be better/more updated than others but at a low level most advice is useful (just dont take everything u hear as permanent gospel obv)

best way to get experience just playing the game without committing to a team is to ring (play when a team has a player absent) or join a team as a substitute in Newcomer (or Amateur, depending on your skill/confidence). both can be done on the RGL discord (check/post in the "Recruitment and Scrims" channels)

if you feel stuck, lost, or cant figure out what youre doing wrong, having a mentor to ask questions/watch your game povs with is very helpful (can also be found in the RGL discord)

dont be afraid to ask dumb/smart/newbie questions to any more experienced players you know

mustard i mean no disrespect but why did u change ur esea name to "loveless" for years while u were in ur mid 20s

genuinely the banny clip on process 1 door where he goes to the fridge dimension

>play gully
>become invincible
>abandon medic immediately
>splash kill 2 ppl who walk directly at u on a flat surface
>stick kill
>post on forums

cant deny he gets it

younger than all of u yet he understands the soul of 2012 soldier better than anyone

they should let me take a photo of my face and put it onto my character in game

the most evil way to spend ur time in tf2 is taking 10:20 to 10:40 on a match night to argue about what went wrong in ur 2-10 pregame

to me pregames are mostly about warming up and getting into gear so its nice to win or go even so im in a good mood going into the match. if ur gonna schedule difficult scrims to stress test your defaults and work out flaws i prefer that to be on a non-match day when there's time to review before scrims and have all night to try different things
