#15 not having fun in Q/A Help

What part is unbearable? Scrimming, pugging, dming, mgeing, demo reviewing, all of the above..?

Look at TF2 as a journey, not a destination.

Although I'm still trash, I have improved a decent amount since I started playing comp, and I've had a blast the whole time.

#43 hey fog can you unban sniper in TF2 General Discussion
brownymasterzigzterYou could argue that you learn how to choose where to engage targets and how to move when you know there's a sniper up.

Regardless, the point of my original post is that "I don't learn anything from that" is an incredibly selfish way to look at it. What about someone who wants to improve at sniper and doesn't want to play in pubs where people move like zombies?
Scrims, pugs, and pubs with good players. And it's pretty selfish to put one person's enjoyment over the rest of the people in the server.

The problem with sniper is that the range in which he can force the adaptation is too large. On gpit, if you're standing at B-C connecter, you force a bomb or chase from scouts. Otherwise, anyone fighting near rocks to you is going to have to deal with a sniper. So then you have to fight away in crappy areas. On badlands, you can force people to go into closet or jump down into valley connector. I mean yeah there is "learning", but it detracts from useful learning.

A scout shooting me in the back does not contribute to my enjoyment (or learning). Maybe we need a plugin that makes it so scouts can't do damage if their target is facing away because it ruins their fun and dm is all about having fun (and learning how to rocket jump at fleeing scouts and shooting the ground under them).

brownymasterYou learn how and practice how to deal with m1m2 demos though. You learn how to deal with retreating scouts, how to tell if they're just going to corner hide then hop out, you learn and practice how to deal with different styles. Not much learned or practiced getting sniped. Also very little learned bombing/chasing a sniper when you could be fighting against other significant classes, and learning small quirks in a matchup.

You could argue that you learn how to choose where to engage targets and how to move when you know there's a sniper up.

Regardless, the (what I assumed was obvious) point of my original post is that "I don't learn anything from that" is an incredibly selfish way to look at it. What about someone who wants to improve at sniper and doesn't want to play in pubs where people move like zombies?

brownymasterzigzter"You don't learn anything from playing against a sniper in DM."

I also don't learn anything from the following:
Scouts running away after getting shot.
Soldiers bombing in and shooting the ground in my vicinity when I'm fighting someone else.
Demos m1m2ing me.

plz ban scout, soldier, and demo from dm because I don't learn anything from playing against them
Is that why you're still open?

I mean I hate to go there, but you can learn to deal with most those things. It's a lot less likely that a demo or soldier or scout will be in the vicinity halfway across the map. Only the interference is slightly different in the cases of bad spawns, but you should learn how to deal with scouts running away (either efficient chase paths or zoning away) and demo m1m2 by using terrain or bombing.

Yes, the bad spawns and other classes double/triple teaming you could be much more equivalent to sniper, but they don't one shot, and their proximity is usually much closer.

Oh man, the "you're in Open" line. Good one.

If you bothered to read my post, you'd realize I said "learn from", not "deal with".

You can deal with snipers by bombing them. Do you learn something from that? Probably not, which I assume is the entire point of the sentence I quoted.

DecimatePlease add it. Having to snipe in pubs just to practice is gay.

You don't like sniping against people who fakescope 50 times and jump after firing??

Headshot-only sniper would be really cool. I never play sniper in DM cause I always feel like a shitlord when I accidentally hit a bodyshot.

AbramelinphobiaI'm pretty sure the reason this game isn't big because of the language we use, noone wants to hear rape, the f word, etc.
but that's literally all my comms!

"That faggot is fucking raped!"

There's also:

Some of them are quite a few years old, but if there are changes in how certain lines of code work (like print requiring brackets in Python 3), it's usually mentioned in the comments.
