its all about trial and error. if you fight soldiers/scout and constantly get fucked you might someday figure it out by just trying new things.
i suck tbh but i someday figured out that against soldiers you can try to jump to dodge rockets instead of just running around him.
just play i wouldnt watch videos tbh since that will make that stuff not get burnt into your brain.

play with a team, you'll improve 10 times faster and develop certain skills such as good communication that are crucial to play Scout in a competitive environnement. Alternatively, playing DM a lot might give you some good starting points and good mechanics so that you won't be completly blown out when you start playing 6s.

play dm, play with a team, aim with ur arm instead of ur wrist, try track smoothly. movement will come in my experience, just experiment with different ways of dodging rockets and stuff

mge is mge, dont base yourself solely off of it. all it is is movement/aim practice, but being good at the game is a lot more than that. there's a big divide in being good at mge and actually being good at tf2.

all you really have to do in mge as scout is know when to move and how to aim which is pretty straightforward. in an actual official, depending on your designated scout roll, you'll either play 1) with your roamer or 2) with your medic. the scout's job is always mostly going to be cleanup. your explosive classes will deal damage and you need to finish it off, hence why scout's normally top frag. a big misconception is that scout's must meatshot in order to deal good damage/be a good scout. this is highly incorrect, you should rather be going for clean 40-50 damage shots at a safer range and successfully cleaning up an enemy gamer rather than getting 100 damage in then dying

it all just takes learning and practice. be open to criticism from other players as sometimes it's very helpful. also, have fun, if you're not doing that then there's no point.

unskilledplay surf to get a good understanding of source physics, master mouse control, and increase your mechanical ability
that is one of the best ways to make improving movement easier

And this will improve your ability to surf rockets, stickies, and airstrafe better, making it difficult for enemies to hit you.

I also learned that as a scout, you need to relax. Having a tense arm in fights will cause you to flick or have a hard time tracking the enemy.

find a good sense practice movement, tracking, flicking, aim with strafe and find a method that works best for you, lock it down and practice it nonstop. practice it in actual 6v6 not mge i.e: pugs/scrims/2v2mge (1v1 i feel does not provide a realistic fight at all.) just make sure ur shit feels right man idk people use all different stuff till it feels right then just grind it out like i use a 19in 360 some people use like 6. just practice.

Also I don't know if this goes without saying but don't judge your play instantly at the beginning of the day. I can't aim for shit if its the first pug or game I've played in the day. Give yourself time to warm up before judging yourself or you'll just tilt and never get better.
