Try cl_interp 0.033 for hitscan and maybe interp_ratio 2

its pretty obvious you shouldnt throw but its easier said then done, especially if you have played >4 maps that day it can get pretty stressful. i would only throw if the rest of my team is throwing and the loss is guaranteed, or to mentally reset for the next map.

we dmix now, join pls first come first served

thats not a problem with the site, thats a problem with people not wanting to play with bad players (which makes sense)

This is honestly sad.

It's more likely that the other team's scouts are not good enough to deal with the pyro. I mean it's not like you need to study the game for years to devise a strategy to kill pyros, just stay out of his range and have your scouts 2v1 him or play sniper etc. However, that doesn't matter if you don't hit the shots required which is a common issue in pugs.

You can argue that the scouts just need to get good but a lot of the time, the scouts are just soldier/demo/med mains trying to learn another class. It's like a professional basketball player playing with one arm against a team of highschoolers. Yeah you played with one arm and won which is a testament to your skill but you were playing against opponents who are far below your level (sorry I can't think of a better analogy).

I'm only talking about pugs, Valve supporting us with matchmaking is kind of outside the scope of my post.

Let players figure out for themselves what classes are good/bad and as your rank increases, you will get more players who are good at the game, and the players who play pyro outside of appropriate situations will stay at a low rank. It's not like other games aren't able to teach players the intricacies of their game. For example in CS:GO players know to only buy SMGs on anti-eco rounds and to otherwise use the AK/AWP.

Also I already said I don't have a problem with full time pyro so long as he is pulling his weight (other than the fact that it's not good practice if I'm trying to improve).

1.) I don't really like captaining in pugs because I don't know many of the players since I don't pug that frequently.
2.) Even if I did captain, I can't control who the other captain picks.

i guess my post was unclear, I just meant that it’s not efficient for improving at the game if you have a pyro on your team since in 99% of all the other games there will not be a pyro. otherwise i don’t personally mind having a pyro on my team as long as he is having an impact because if he’s not then its like having a sniper, u have to do more work because it’s 5v6 if he misses.
that being said pugs are just practice games, so you bringing up whether the pyro is winning the pug for u is irrelevant

not all about winning boy, id rather lose and improve than roll someone 5-0 (especially in a pug (especially with a pyro))

playing for logs isnt really related to full time pyro but i guess were just farming upfrags now
