Need a quick "mentor" for a bit

I didn't want to bomb my friends list to bug everyone, so I figured I would put it here. The problem that I've been having the last week is that I have been unable to hit shit. It doesn't matter if it's in a scrim/match/pug and I don't believe I have changed any settings. I'm sure that it doesn't help that Metalworks wasn't something that was played in the past but it feels more than that.

Basically, I just need someone to watch a live POV scrim early in the week with me to see what is happening. Why live you say? I feel like when you correct bad behavior right when it happens it will stick more.

Also, I know that DM'ing more would help DM but I am playing the same amount that I used to and it just seemed to go from OK to utter shit. I am not in the position to be able to play more often anyways. The only thing that I can think of it that I changed pre-rendered frames from '3' to '1' but I would assume that less input lag would help, not make it worse.

Thanks

Take a break. Chill out with another game when your tf2 game is utter shit. No point overloading yourself even more when it seems like you're burnt out.

If none of your settings have changed, then you just have to assume you've changed in some way.

Getting enough sleep, not consuming too much sugar/caffeine, and hydrating are all factors to consider. If aim is the problem then mentoring isn't going to help since you can't really teach aim.

Also keep in mind, everyone goes through slumps, sometimes for no apparently reason. You just have to ride it out.

As I said, I understand that a mentor can't help DM, or a slump, but that is why I am only asking someone to watch a single POV scrim playing live. If it's just that, then it's just a slump and no biggie. But who really knows, I've been out of this game for quite a bit (or at least taking it seriously) and there has been quite a bit of meta changes over the years, so it couldn't hurt.

Take a break for a day or two from TF2.

you did just quit and have been trying to quit smoking. I'm guessing you're body is adjusting to it. It'll probably level out once you've quit for a couple weeks.

if nothing else works it helps to tweak your dpi/sens a little, atleast for me anyways.
