if they just spent one update optimizing this game I would be so happy.

great gamer, should do well in open

So I'm playing pocket in open again this season and I still feel like I don't fully understand how to get good ubers consistently in scrims/matches. A lot of high level pocket soldiers get complimented a lot on their ability to make the most of an uber and I feel like I'm just not doing as much as I could be.

A couple problems I noticed while watching my vods/demos is that sometimes I'd call ubers way too early while the other team is holding far back even when we have picks or uber advantage, and they would just spam or kite us and eventually push back into us. I'm usually calling the ubers because I don't want us to take too much initial damage getting in and having a bad afteruber fight.

I also have a question on what to do if another of our players get caught in a solo uber and forces us to flash especially like a demo who can't get out as easily. What I have been doing so far is jumping out of our uber into a better position or behind them if possible and letting our demo take the rest of it so our uber isn't significantly worse off.

I also feel I get greedy with ubers a lot of the time because watching over demos of our scrims, I almost always take the initial uber in, sometimes giving it to our scouts if we have a good advantage. In what cases would a demo uber be more beneficial to a push?

tl;dr what can I do to have better ubers as pocket and what should I try to accomplish during an uber? I already try to narrate an uber (calling good/bad uber, where both combos' positions are, and where we want to end the uber) as best as I can and am trying to improve on it as my team plays more.

just look on irc if you're gonna play in open.

Is old school still any fun? All this talk is bringing back the nostalgia. Kinda tempted to play again.

man how much is gp even worth anymore. I remember grinding hrs mining coal for like 100k or something

Hey we're @channel (name pending if anyone else on this team actually gave enough fucks to come up with anything else) and we're looking for a couple backups to play for us during both the offseason and if anything comes up during the regular season.

Our roster right now is

Medic: pico
Demoman: carolina
Pocket: sky_
Scout: sissel
Scout: bowswer5
Roamer: mana

We're looking for backups of all classes (multiclass preferred) that are able to compete at a mid+ open level. Our med will be going out of state for a month starting next week and our current med backup can only play Tuesday-Wednesdays, so you'll get guaranteed playtime on Sundays and maybe Thursdays when the season gets closer.

Scout and demo backups would probably also get playtime because highlander is still a thing for our resident sniper main and our demo. Can't say so much about soldier since both me and mana show up pretty regularly but we'd still like one in case of emergencies.

Thanks for reading.

Add me here if you're interested.

really dedicated to the game and great friend.

Didn't rs go to shit like 6-7 years ago.

also the fact there are at least 2 dozen roamers lft apparently.

shawn on a combo class in open seems like the scariest thing ever

Cool guys, decent players. Should improve a lot over the course of a season

that avatar gives me the chills

why is "that" misspelled?

man those comms were TRASH
