pounding scout combo, exile is really good and kryptonite is such a pounder yet so underrated

I can attest to this

glider is the best

quick thing from scrims

Bump, still need more meds!

There was a point when I was putting 140+ hours in the past 2 weeks earlier this summer and I still sucked. I would DM/MGE/pug for hours, and when those were over, I'd do newbots and look at lots of demos. I've done so much to try to get better at this game but it felt like I wasn't going anywhere. Even now, I'm not sure if I've gotten better from the beginning of this season. It was so frustrating and I've wanted to quit because I've thought, "what's the point?" I saw people putting in much less time and still doing better than me and it annoyed me that I still wasn't getting anywhere.

To add onto that, I overthink stuff too much. A certain friend that I have would always start sucking random players' dicks for how good they were, and I'd always think that I wasn't good and I should just quit because nobody thinks I'm good (or even decent), and definitely nobody will think I'm that good. I don't think any of my friends really knew how much time I devoted over the past year into just trying to get good at tf2 (I wrote my college essays in around an hour, my school grades plummeted (even though they weren't bad, they were very below my standards), and I rarely talk to my family anymore because I just stay in my room). It didn't really help that I basically got no tryouts when I was lft and I thought that everybody thought I was bad. To add on, I also have a really bad case of paranoia where I think that everybody is out to shittalk me so that's why I can't really accept any compliments, because I think that they're lies (mainly something that stemmed from getting bullied in school).

I also have basically no irl friends, the "friends" that I have irl almost always exclude me from stuff that they do, so I escape to tf2. Playing tf2's been the happiest I've been because it feels like I have friends, but I'm always reminded of how I don't have any social life irl and to top it off, my parents are dead set on getting me to quit this game. I also don't know how to talk to people, even online, so I don't have that many friends online either. Due to this game I don't even talk to my parents anymore either (and I hate myself for it so much but I'm so bad at talking to people I don't even know how to fix it) so irl it just feels like I'm all alone.

Also I hate being considered toxic, as I try my best not to be. However, I feel like due to frustrations I have been as of late, and I apologize to anyone who does think that. Recently someone on steam (jokingly?) called me a toxic weeb and I got pretty sad over that because I thought I haven't been like that. I hate myself and what I've become quite a lot. Irl I'm not a toxic person, just in video games.

Thanks for the thread, it was a good way to list stuff and rant, but also identify the problems I'm having.

Sorry about the long post.

He's a nice guy who pounds hard. Scary to play against regardless of the scout he is playing (flank or combo). Solid pickup for IM.

exile's one of the nicest gamers I've met in this game and has improved so much this season. He deserves only the best teams for next season.

Only need a medic now.

EDIT: We want experienced medics (at least went even in open) that are looking to do well in playoffs.

After playoffs ended for Bob-omb Squad, most of us decided that we would like to remake s21 open team The Baddies. We are looking mainly for medic tryouts atm. Looking for high-open gamers who want to improve, are dedicated, and be receptive to criticism. We will most likely be scrimming 5 nights a week, and we are looking to do well in playoffs.

Current roster:

Scouts: ether, midas
Pocket: mirrorman
Roamer: plan
Demo: megaboy
Medic: ?

Add me at http://steamcommunity.com/id/ether_/ to discuss.

mirrorman and I have come to an agreement that we live to upset whymeo's predictions

Considering that Alley only had ugc steel experience before this season, I was very impressed with his gameplay. He is very dedicated and I can see him improving greatly with a full season of open. He has very good DM, but his gamesense is a bit weak; however with a good and supportive team he can easily become a smart and powerful demo. Pick him up!

Playoffs are over, bump.

ggs to EVIL, that was the most hype match ive ever been a part of

best of luck in the rest of playoffs

vari's a really nice guy and he pounds :)
