He is either a troll or he is legitimately mentally ill. Either way I feel like giving him attention is a bad idea.

Not sure there's a lot of advice on this top that can be given through a forum post but thought it might make for an interesting discussion anyway.

Recently due to some roster shifting designed to keep my team alive I've switched classes to soldier and might be pocketing for our team, depending on how things shake out.

So far the biggest challenge for me has been less around the class switch and ROCKET DM and more about switching roles and controlling / calling situations.

Most of my TF2 career has been as a mindless fragging type scout, obviously I have had to know the game and my own role and do some comming but my viewpoint has always been focused on the task at hand and performing my own role while just relying on my main caller and teammates to take care of their own stuff. I've rarely dedicated much headspace to thinking about the uber situation or what my combo/demo should be doing; I'm almost entirely focused on player positions and just making tactical DM type decisions about who to engage, when to commit to a fight and aiming/dodging itself.

Transitioning to having to keep track of the situation of both teams at all times and make decisions for my own team is daunting, to say the least - it more or less requires bringing a completely new mentality to playing. I'm sure scouts at the top level of the game already think about TF2 on these terms but for me its largely new territory. I know this isn't an issue specific to TF2, as even in CS and the like you tend to have players fulfilling a fragging role vs the in-game leader etc so I'm hoping that some folks may have gone through this before.

Has anyone made this kind of transition? Any tips, or even just interesting thoughts or anecdotes from your experience?

pascal doggles wants to come to this but wasnt sure about making the trip could you add him on steam and talk about carpooling? TY

a while back i was tryin to sleep after we scrimmed late one night and i had a revelation that the winger was actually better than the pistol mathematically and i worked it all out in my head and thought i was going to be the scout pioneer who made everyone realize it was good

then i checked the next day and realized the damage bonus is only 15% l0l

EDIT: as far as the baby face blaster goes gl getting the speed boost up without dying when you move at soldier speed and can't jump

demo is the hardest 6v6 class imo

its a really strong class with high damage potential but its hard to actually reach that potential consistently and you get focused / punished for mistakes much harder than other classes

if you've pretty much only played scout try putting a bit of time into playing soldier vs scout

it gives you an idea on how soldiers have to predict/react to scout movement and will help you get used to feeling where a soldier is going to shoot next based on how you are moving - this let you do things like "pre-dodge" with no reaction time if your prediction is accurate, or bait them into shooting at the wrong spot etc

welp it won't help you within a few days but if you have anxiety issues in general try meditation

???????????????????????????

what is your contention here, that sticky bombs aim themselves? that only demomen shoot people who aren't looking at them?

i mean you dudes realize that stickies are difficult to be precise with right? you don't actually think that it's easy to maximize your damage with them just because the large radius means that it's easy to put out mediocre damage?

red master race

nono i think you guys are confused

sticky aim is really easy and rocket aim is really hard so nobody should ever practice with stickies

you see rockets have a parabolic trajectory instead of a simpler straight trajectory and you also have to detonate them at the correct distance to maximize your damage
