I don't play frequently anymore, but I just joined a MGE server and on ammomod_mge arena I see 2 soldiers with 2900 points playing with reserve shooter. After every single rocket shot they flick to shotgun. Every single shot! Is this the new playstyle?
Not hating just curious as I haven't played in a while, seems very tryhard for me and don't understand how this can be fun

ammomod is a martial art, there is an unspoken code that if broken will result in ridicule at the very least. respect ammomod. the two soldiers you are attempting to humiliate are warriors fighting to the death.

speaking anecdotally, since i started playing mge there has been a slow trend toward playing for elo instead of following unwritten rules. there has never been a point where i was like, oh yeah suddenly everyone is cheesing n shit, just happened over time.

i read somewhere a few days ago that like 3/4 of people above 2500 elo on public mge are closet cheating in eu.
so if they are willing to cheat in mge (saddest thing ever) i dont think they will care about playing to improve. its literally just win however you can to get your ego number up.
makes sense given that if you go on their steam profile 99% chance they dont have etf2l or any logs so just alting & cheating in mge lol

You have the wrong mindset. The majority of players you'll encounter in public mge are barely sentient and play like a reinforcement learning AI thats in the process of being trained to maximize elo gain, so you really have to go into it with one of two mindsets:
Mindset one is the bot map. You have to practice hitting airshots on the bots. Sometimes they're programmed badly and do weird stuff, but that's OK, you don't have to worry about what they're doing or whether you hit 20 first because you're practicing hitting airshots.
Mindset two is "going to the zoo". This is where you're joining the MGE server to observe the behaviour of all the different animals. I think this one's fairly self evident but it's the opposite of the bot map mindset where all you're interested in is the fascinating behaviours the other player is exhibiting.
Hope this helps and good luck in your future mge endeavours.

This is something I wish I understood better: certain behaviors that some players show. For example, constant trash talk, playing in a cheap way, and then calling you a dog or trash even after they lose or barely win.
I notice this a lot now. When I was younger and really trying to improve at MGE, grinding hard and playing with an ultra-competitive mindset, I always wanted to win no matter what. But even then, I was never that angry, and I never tried to ragebait people. I don’t understand why this kind of behavior has become so common, because it’s making MGE almost unplayable. Every time I just want to join, have fun, and shoot a few rockets, people are constantly trash talking, kicking, re-adding, and repeating the cycle and for no reason i genuinely never trash talk and im never a dick to anyone on mge never really even have been.
One that stuck with me very recently before i stopped tf2 all together was a 2400 player I fought on ammomod. I won once or twice, then he won a few rounds as well, but throughout the entire session he was angry, constantly switching to shotgun, and nonstop trash talking. What I don’t understand is what I did to make him so angry, especially considering that he won most of our games.

someone needs to lay down the law. establish by example (youtube video?) what it means to not by a tryhard, to play honorably. its always been ambiguous, what counts as cheesing and what counts as honor.

MGE players develop some form of mental disease the moment they reach 2500 ELO. There's no exception, everyone that I've seen with that much ELO on any MGE server has no respect for rules, written or unwritten, they will ridicule you if you lose, they will silent remove and throw a tantrum if you're beating them, most of them have been banned from every league, shunned, and cast down to the fiery pits of Hell and relegated to an eternity of MGE and TF2Center (what they deserve).
ELO is what they crave, it is their essence, any threat to it triggers an animalistic response, it is dopamine to them and they are addicted to it.
I've seen multiple occasions where a pair of them were throwing the most vile insults at each other, bringing their mothers into the mix, and accusing each other of being smelly virgins because one was slightly better at being a bigger prick than the other, oblivious to the fact they've both been in the same server for the past 8 consecutive hours, with no shower or job in sight... I've even seen some with +3000 ELO still performing w strafes and pencil jumps.
God is no longer present.
