1 - I wouldn't say it has improved, it just changed, since I was playing TF2 for pretty much all the free time I had, instead I either play other games or watch movies/TV shows.
2 - I still play MGE sometimes since it is in my opinion the best way to warmup my aim. But I'm not considering getting back to TF2.
3 - Mostly skate and overwatch.
4 - I applied for a team and BreD got picked over me. That's when I realised this game would never have anything to offer to me, and I just wasted 3.4k hours into nothing.
5 - memes and drama
