something about your voice makes your videos really easy to watch haha

if you ever bump into a teammate instead of walking right through them (like at 4:11) then it is an enemy spy who is disguised
dont forget as scout you can jump around a lot and juke your enemies out if you are in danger (or in between shots when you get better aim)
also, i like that you are trying to fight in close quarters when you have your scattergun, smart stuff

also, the bat is indeed kinda bad, theres no tricks to it. weapons in tf2 have a random chance to do a critical which does 3x damage, you may have just had some luck from behind with that

if you haven't already, you may want to change your interp by putting cl_interp 0.033 (default is 0.1) into your autoexec.cfg file. it will change the way your computer interacts with the server, and your shots will connect more

If you haven't already, you should check out the Advanced Options menu, it has all sorts of options that you can enable/disable, I assume you already have since you have the hitsound and damage numbers enabled. Something I would recommend is enabling auto reload, it's really handy and makes you not have to worry about having a half-full clip when you see a heavy or someone else.

There are other options in there as well, like class-specific options that you can tinker with to see whether you like them or not. There's also a Viewmodel FOV setting that you can change in the adv. options as well, I think it goes up to 70 in the menu, but you can always experiment to see what you like by typing "viewmodel_fov #" into the console. The default is 54.

Not exactly TF2 related, but you should find servers you ping less to - your game will be less laggy. Anything under ~60 ping should be good.

Most melee weapons, like the bat, are generally last resort weapons, whenever you run out of ammo and don't have time to reload. Oftentimes the only thing you can do with a melee is swing randomly and hope you hit the guy.

Changing to a crosshair that's more visible might also help your aim a lot.
You can do this by going into "Options" and then clicking on the "Multiplayer"-Tab to the right. I'd recommend the cross, which is used by many people because of its simplicity and visibility. Green and Yellow are often chosen as colours since they are very bright and thus tend to differ from the background, meaning you see them better.

In general, for practicing your aim or other specific things, tr_walkway and tr_arena are training maps where you can train your aim against bots, which you can "program" to do specific things (like strafing, jumping etc.). To play these maps, just download them from the link, then extract them into your "maps"-folder, which is located in the "tf"-folder in your TF2-directory. After that, you can play them on a local server by either typing e.g. "map tr_walkway_rc2" into console or by clicking on the "Create" button and choosing the map from the dropdown list.

Calm down with your shots. Take your time with them, don't try and fire every single clip you can. Try and reload when you can, running out of ammo isn't a good situation to be in.

you can hold down mouse1 to fire your pistol in consecutive shots; seems like you might be clicking for each bullet instead.

I had it on before but i felt annoyed because everytime i shot it would reload. Idk i may go back to turning it back on.

From what I've noticed, you're using your movement to mess up your aim -- especially on free frags. When you know you have a free frag, just relax about and take your time aiming :)

Also, this isn't as important in pubs but if you plan on transitioning into competitive play, you should get into the habit of always be looking to be full health before rushing in on the enemy team. Normally, you'd want to be full buffed (Being at 185 HP on scout) but since you're on a pub, I wouldn't expect any sort of buffs from medics.

Lastly, as stated above you should try changing your viewmodel_fov. You can turn them off completely which allows you to see more in the game and it be less distracting. But if you really want to use them (It's just preference after all) some common fov is viewmodel_fov 90, viewmodel_fov 110, and viewmodel_fov 120.

Good luck!
