The actual education system in the US is like 20th or something, yeah. Everyone knows the system is awful in US, but the actual universities are the highest ranked in the world is what he means. The majority of the top schools in the world are in US.

Yes. Probably fine in Canada.

Yeah but if you read my post you'd realize I said it depends on multiple factors. If an engineer from LITERALLY any college in Canada tried to apply for a job in the US, he'd get denied to people who went to average schools in the US. Its obviously a great idea if you want to stay in Canada, but sometimes people want to live near their family.

I could go to school for basically free in the US by going to cc + a cheap uni such as NIU and get a full ride and still have a great engineering degree. You just have to be smart about your plans.

I'm not sure why you're trying to give advice when you don't even live in the US, not knowing much about how the competition and pricing work. It all depends on where you want to work and what your major is. Finding a job in the US without a US degree is sometimes very complicated, especially if you have a technical degree. Working out of country with a student visa can be illegal, and saving up enough money by yourself to pay for college + other bills is quite difficult without being able to work during your stay.

That being said, 2+2 with a good scholarship can be cheap in US.

Edit: also, I'm impressed with your shittposting elliot. you actually got people to give you real advice lol

Playing in a local server on certain maps like tr_walkway or tyler_rocket_shooting then joining another map/server.

All they have to do is say they'll sponsor 100k tourneys and the game will be huge!

You shouldn't need to lower your sens any more, but if you really feel like it's your sens hindering your abilities rather than lack of practice, then go for it. If you want to get good at tracking, practice things that require you to only track, like the pistol.

People will always say it's a stupid idea to play another game to get good at tf2, but honestly cs helps you not aim like a mongo and also improves your crosshair placement. There is no secret though besides practicing what you want to get good at.

Out of all the meds currently playing, he's the only one that I think will be one of the best who isn't already.

On top of this, nobody thought the cozy camper was balanced. That's why valve rebalanced it.

The only thing you have offered is "you're wrong" with no explanation, nitpicking sentences that dissclude the explanation which refutes what you're suggesting.

How does the fact that getting a buff on scout becomes futile when the other team has a machina sniper, especially on a map like viaduct? The same exact reasonings have been made to ban weapons like the gunslinger; it's not really op. It's just not fun to play against and has a stupid mechanic. You can argue that scout isn't fun to play against, but its mechanics are challenging and interesting, unlike the gunslinger that aims for you, or in this case, the machina, that is a direct upgrade the worse you are at aiming because its mechanic is additional damage, only being important when bodyshotting. It'd make a lot more sense if it rewarded skilled play instead. Keep in mind that a balanced weapon should reward skill, not dumb mechanics or bad play.

Depends on what part of California. If you're going near San Diego or LA, I wanted to go snorkeling and visit the caves at La Jolla since I heard good things about it, but we weren't able to go. If you like gardens, the botanic garden is cool. There are a bunch of beaches, depending on where you stay. You could go to Disneyland.

But the thing is you can still pretty much no scope with it by clicking m1 right after m2, like I already said, so the concept of outputting 50 damage no scopes is still prevalent. It makes you move slower for a very short amount of time. The only times you should no scope when retreating, though, is if you know they're lit or if you're at a medium distance trying to deny them from chasing, but you're probably going to live anyway with the support of your movement and your team's help. The latter is the ONLY time not being able to do a true no scope at full movement speed hurts you, but like I already said, you'll probably live anyway. You just shouldn't go for the quick 50 damage shots until you're at the point when they're lit from your teammates shooting them and running away has no benefit. It's basically the same idea with stock too, so the machina is not much of a downgrade in those specific situations.

You mention that you rarely see it being used, and you're probably right, even though in about 10/10 of the times I've opened an etf2l stream, if they ran sniper, they were using the machina. If they didn't, like you're suggesting, the reasoning is simple, and I already explained it in the post you just replied to.... It rewards the worse snipers more than it favors the very best snipers in the game, simply because its advantage is a damage boost, which is only advantageous for bodyshotting.

Some points you're missing:
-More often than not, a scout doesn't have 174-185. If you see a scout that doesn't have the beam on him, the likelihood of him being <174 is extraordinarily high. Even when a scout just got a buff, medics a lot of times only give you a tap, maybe reaching ~170.
-A demo's health is in the range of 150-173 WAY more often than you think.

Also, you said you've rarely seen collats in high level tf2. That's true, but it definitely occurs more often than you're suggesting, as I've seen like 5-10 in the past month in just frag videos of prem players.

edit: the comangler might be worse, but you guys need to understand that if something is not fun to play against because of some weird mechanic, it needs a rebalance, thus making it "unbalanced."
I'd explain why but I'm at work and clockwork already explained it well:

This also applies to the machina, as dying to a bodyshot moments after getting a buff is dumb.

Not being able to no-scope is hardly a downside. You can just click m2 and m1 right after each other and it's just about the same effect as a no-scope. The only true downside is the tracer when you want to stay hidden; you usually get 1-2 fewer shots from a weird angle with the machina. On top of that, any weapon that rewards lesser skill (bodyshots) should be rebalanced.

It merely rewards the snipers who can't aim more than it rewards good snipers (but it still favors everyone).

He's gotta keep that steam friend count at 30.
