It's because players that run pugs are boring as fuck, or too sensitive. You try to come up with these elaborate new ways to pull in more players and they never work because this stupid game started out as a community, not an eSport, but for some reason you always treat it like the latter. Everyone here is just actively partaking in bitching and moaning instead of actually trying to have fun and so here is my suggestion; use drama and negativity for good. Let players talk shit, let them be retarded, let them act dramatic, turn the game into WWE. Have some god damned fun instead of trying to win all the time. Most of you morons in Invite now took so many fucking thousands of hours and years to get there and those of you who aren't are just waiting your turn to larp being important (pro). Christ it's not that fucking complicated.

Note: Okay so the Mentoring section of the Forums was practically dead and I'm impatient so I decided to just ask this here.

I've thrownaway 2500 hours into TF2 and I'm lost and can only compete at about a UGC Silver rank. I have spent more time analyzing my aim then probably anyone I've ever met from 6s to Highlander to MGE and I still can't outaim most players I play with. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my peripherals which are too embarrassing to say or if I'm just exhausted from playing and should take a good long break but I spend so much time trying to practice and it hurts not feeling any sort of improvement.

When I play MGE which is my strongest source of practice, I end up hitting more airshots then players with 2000 elo and sometimes higher but I still can't even put more than 15 frags on them, or consistently defeat them. I was told not to surf rockets or jump too often because it's considered bad etiquette but I don't see anyone else doing it and I lose a lot, so is this person wrong? I dunno what to do.
