Looks like there's been some mention of gully and snake mids.

I mainly have problems with gully mids.
I usually go the standard big door to elbow roof to jump up and help the demo deny scouts and bombs.
But I feel like I engage those scouts and roamers wrong because I often tend to die at the start of those fights.
If I survive the first 5 seconds of the actual fighting I'm usually fine but I often find myself dying in those first seconds.

How to engage the scout rush on our demo? Just rush the scout and hope for meatshots or at least follow up from our demo or pocket?
How to deny the soldier? Already start shooting when he's on the ground? Only start shooting when he's already in the air? Stay back to be safer but do less damage to the roamer in the air or get in close for meatshots but be at greater risk of taking a 100 damage rocket (I feel like this is the mistake I make but I'm not sure)

What if both happen at once? Still deny the soldier and hope our demo can deny the scout?
How about double soldier bombs? Can't really back up into elbow/choke because there's usually already 3 people standing there so you just make it easier for them to do a lot of damage
What if the roamer goes dropdown? Leave it to the pocket?

Thank you. I appreciate it.
Also name the robot Dumpster Driver.
Gabriel will know why.

Can't play most of Harbinger league due to exams in August.
I'll definitely be playing again in September. I have a couple of TF2/reflex friends that play it as well.

Wanted to make a vaal power siphon elemental assassin but not sure how fun that'll be with the assassin nerfs and power charge nerfs. Might play elemental buzzsaw in some form instead because I really enjoyed Mathil's dreamfeather ST pathfinder

I lag out a lot which can cause players to go invisible. On rare occasions it also messes up the models like a scout showing up as a demoman jumping around. Nothing like running into a pub med to then be wm1'd because it was a pyro all along. I've heard of many others that experience the same thing
Since you lagged out not long before the clip that may have happened here.

However I never experience the model actually fixing itself which is pretty odd. For me it never fixes itself until I start recording a (new) demo

Could probably just make another request for it and mention you should be on it already so someone will check if there's any issues.
They're usually fast with those requests so should be fixed within a day

It's definitely viable. Muuki, Jukebox and plenty of other soldiers do/did it with great success.

I wouldn't say it's because roamers suck at offclassing. There's just more closet sniper mains among scouts.
And it's just sort of the accepted meta for a lot of players that scouts play the offclasses.

Also if you sac something a good ole roamer bomb is usually more succesful than a scout trying to get in. So having a sniper and a roamer at the same time allows you to exploit a sniper pick more if the intention is to force/kill a med

I'm not an experienced comp player by any means but that's how I see it

The crates behind last point wouldn't be an issue in 6s and HL probably.
It's out in the open and the map favors snipers a lot already.
So having your combo or a roamer on there would just make them target practise.
A sentry on there wouldn't be that good in 6s because there's no wrangler/rescue ranger. You can just spam rockets out of its range. And the engineer can't hold on the crates to repair the sentry because there's often going to be a sniper.
In HL it might be more of a problem with the wrangler but as long as you have teammates smarter than ye average pubber I doubt it'd be broken

Would anyone be surprised if I link this? https://puu.sh/wJ3MJ/c979bd443b.png

I forgot to screenshot it the first time. Can anyone guess which stream I opened to look for the account, finding it immediately?

Made an album with some suggestions and issues I remember from when I played it a lot. Used to pub this map almost exclusively back when Skial had a 247 server of it. Fun map but definitely has a ton of issues. Probably forgot some things. Might add more to the album later. Good luck improving the map :)

Did okay all things considering. But it's sniper. Hard to fuck that up

2 kids I babysit (3 and 5 years old) like playing TF2 on my laptop.

For now I just let them play on training maps but I'll unleash them to the world very soon.
(tyler_rocket_shooting for letting them figure out basic stuff, tr_newbots or tr_arena_rc2 once they feel like shooting something that shoots back and moves)

Soldier is probably the best for learning how to aim. Pyro for learning movement
(might seem like a bad idea to make them play Pyro but I've noticed all other classes just make them stand still while they aim at things. Pyro forces them to move around while they aim. it's also the easiest class in the game to figure out. And they'll learn wm1 isn't always the answer once they start running into heavies and sentr nests)

Haven't let them play on online maps but I'd probably go with instant respawn servers on hightower, 2fort, mariokart, etc. You want them to move away from those maps eventually ofcourse but when they just start out that'll be easiest for them to get into
