flatline we tried you out 2 seasons ago and you did really well except the part where you screamed at our medic and went bison for an entire half when i repeatedly told you to stop

i've definitely seen you improve a lot in terms of your dm and i think you are good enough at roamer to play mid im if you stop raging and don't throw your tryouts tbh

all they need to do to fix the vaccinator is revert the charging to how it was before so you can build while keeping your team kinda buffed

super smart and good player, highly recommend!

just finished Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

currently attempting to read Infinite Jest

the backup isn't broken on viaduct because you have to heal your soldier on fucking viaduct

its broken when its used like a better concheror to break stalemates because healing your soldier is what you do there anyway

solid dm + cute person

medic would be way more fun if he had a crossbow slot and a syringe slot so you can make clutch long range saves (fun) while not being completely worthless at fighting things outside of melee range (not fun)

(also +fwding people with the syringe gun is fun and the crossbow is far too good to give up)

it looks pretty good but why is the class gallery 6 over 3 instead of 5 over 4

It's bad because seeding becomes RNG.

Invite uses the system of "everyone plays everyone twice" to reduce RNG and it's universally-preferred, or so I hear, although they don't turn over the matches of dead teams.

Played half a season with him a while ago. He has pretty good DM. If he's worked on his tilting issues he'd be a solid mid open demo.

I've had similar experiences with silent teammates when maincalling on roamer. The most effective strategy I've found on my end is to ask for information. "Where is their demo?" "Where is their combo rolling out?" "Call focus fire." "Which Uber is better?" "Are we staying or leaving?" "What are Uber advantages?" Obviously this is a lot easier on pocket than roamer since you can see a lot more.

It's kind of a stopgap solution though - your teammates should be offering this information on their own, and asking them for it means that you will waste time and advantages will slip away.

The easiest solution is to just impress upon them the importance of communication and exactly why you feel frustrated as a decision maker without access to as much information as possible. Make sure you do so in a way that is not accusatory or they will get defensive and consequently become less malleable.

It helps to know why they don't do it. Often new players just don't know what to say. Sometimes they can't handle talking and DMing at the same time. Sometimes their mic is too quiet or their voice activation thresholds are too high. Sometimes they're shy and need time to adjust to a new group of people.

And sometimes they just don't talk.

It helps to know this because how much time it will take to get them to talk, if they ever will change, is a big deal to a team who plays a match every week. Is it worth the time investment to get them to eventually talk? Or should you cut them and look for replacements? And that changes with every team, especially when you have to weigh how important winning is to you as a team compared to playing with friends.

Graciously agreed to play a match for us this week.

He surprised us all with his Scout play. He hit shots, followed up on teammates, protected our combo, and understood the importance of staying alive. If you're an IM team looking for a Scout, you should really give him a shot.

still shit

revolver

also sometimes explosives blow up on teammates, or stickies bounce, which is absolutely retarded
