How to get better at scout

Alright guys, before we begin, you are welcome to tell me your tips for playing as scout, and if you don't play scout, tell me the tips I should use playing against whatever you play.

So I have been playing scout as my main class for around 8 months now (3 years in TF2, 4100 hrs) but I used to be a pub guy for about 2000 hours, then I played demo, solly (pokcet) and finally scout.
It just seems like I have a good day, and 10 bad ones, opposite of other people lol.

I am looking for the best way to get better at fighting each class (as far as 6s go) and to know when am I over extending, and when am I to passive. I am very good at tricking the enemy team though. I can pretend (Example) that in snakewater, on their second, when they are on catwalk, I will go below and come back out, they won't see me, and they will be looking all over for me in house, that is just an example of what I mean by tricks. Also note that, I always play with 100 ping because of my geographical location, could all these troubles instantly fade by just getting lower ping, because I will get fiber-optic (which will give me 70-80 ping on most EU hosts) starting this fall <3

So, I already know I can get better scout on scout, by just doing some scout MGE, and soldier vs scout by doing some solly v scout mge, but no matter how much I practice, it just seems like I keep fucking up when I am applying my "skills" in actual pugs or games (I merc for teams often, but not registered in any league ATM).

I am sure we have a lot of amazing players who'd want to help me out, and if you do that'd be much appreciated, if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say it and move along.

Thanks, and have a great day :3

u can ping mask so u stop getting kicked for shit ping

also if u feel like youve hit the ceiling then youre just mindlessly grinding aim maps without thinking how to get better

I mean I do think, for instance, I play trwalkway and i put the bots on strafe mode and quick strafe time (trust me they get better at strafing than actual players).

Also, what I tried google searching it but got confused, what command should I use to make my ping around 50-70 etc, and i noticed it envolves playing with the cl rates and all that, doesnt that screw up the hit detection and all that techy stuff?

Dont use tr_walkway that has horrible hit registration/ hitboxes. If you want to work on an offline server( even though dm/pugs/mge is more helpful) You can play on tr_newbots
