#37 I'm plateauing in Q/A Help

Blithewhat division should i play? silver? open?

join an open team its easily the best and quickest way to learn
even if you're bad and your team loses almost every match you can always find people around your skill level and scrim them to improve if you're just getting rolled by the top teams

also i think it goes without saying that doing DM, mge, pugs & jump maps will help some but in order to actually improve your understanding of the game you need to either play or watch 6s (pov, stv, casts, etc)
demo reviews of yourself can be helpful if you are good at finding your own mistakes and noticing what worked/didn't work but it may be helpful at first to have someone else give you some advice so that you don't interpret you getting out DM's as making a wrong decision, or hitting every shot and winning a fight that you shouldn't have taken in the first place as a right one

#365 PugChamp in Projects

HEY TSC CAN YOU MAKE THE PRE-READY 3 MINUTES LIKE TF2 CENTER PLEASE? (OR MAYBE EVEN LONGER?????????)

Show Content

i've been afk'd from one too many pugs for going to the bathroom for literally 2 minutes during what i thought was picking but what was evidently tatuwah running out the clock and aborting the pug

like the way it was handled on irc was completely fine:
if you haven't said anything in chat (which would be interpreted on this site as, if you haven't clicked on anything or hovered over anythign or w.e.) for something like 5 minutes, it made you type !ready in chat (clicking the ready button), but otherwise when you type !add (click a class to add) it assumed you WEREN'T afk

the key difference here is that system assumed people were actually intending to pug when they added up whereas this site basically does anything it can to restrict people from playing (you still have to ready up even if you just readied and a pug got ended, you need to ready even if you just added up, etc.)

to make even more clear what I think the system should be:
have it check if any given user has done anything on the site for the past 5 minutes (maybe 3 minutes you decide)
if they have then put them in ready automatically (as if they clicked the button, so now it says click to un-ready)
if they haven't then say they're AFK somehow and make it clear they need to ready up

if someone hits pre-ready it should last for an actual amount of time (3-5 minutes) so that people don't have to be staring at the site for literally 10 minutes waiting for a pug to start (with captains timing it out, getting fatkidded and having to ready to the next pug, etc.)
it also should only alert people that their pre-ready has expired if the draft is not in progress it doesn't help to know "your pre-ready has expired" halfway through the picking of a pug lol

either copy tf2center or the irc bots, PLEASE for the love of god change it because the current system is way too restrictive/arbitrary (not to mention the fact that you STILL after almost a year have yet to impliment a force-add or force-end pug option and make people wait out the entire timer to end the pug and then are restricted...... you shouldn't be punished for the dev's autism/laziness in not actually creating a fully functional site)

#18 PCGamer article about TF2 Matchmaking in TF2 General Discussion

A good sport needs rules in order to be set the parameters for skill and strategy

does this sentence not make sense to anyone else
i know what he was trying to say but i feel like this kind of stuff should be fixed with proof reading lol

article was solid though, he made a good point about australiums and giving people a reason to play competitive

#4 ESEA S22 W7: FROYO BLACK vs. -bird noises- in Matches

VandAlso, the name -bird noises- itself has never lost a golden cap while in Theory somehow has lost all three golden caps it has played in close matches (pretty much the same players minus having a different medic and a role change between soldiers). I expect to play two golden caps this week on Sunshine and hopefully win both of them because of the name change.

#7 Medic spawn switch script? in Customization

prplbind <key> "load_itempreset 0" (if you're using loadout A, that is)

As hooli said, you can switch to the same loadout, which is a really useful tool for every class in general to ressuply quickly. No clue why it's not used more often instead of class/hat switching, only downside is you lose your killstreaks.

Other itempresets can be used as well, you won't lose your uber as long as you're using the same medigun in both loadouts.

isnt this banned in esea
iirc you can't switch hats in order to back/forward spawn and retain uber but maybe it's legal to get resup

#2 TF2 Ramp Sliding in Mentoring

you just need to crouch and have enough momentum, I don't know the specific speed but for the process rollout in particular but generally you just need to be crouched so that you don't land and start walking lol
if you're trying to do a rampslide in water you have to hold space as well
also that video's 3 years old idk if its still up but i know at one point kaidus did a rollout workshop thing where he went through the specifics
