This.

If you want to be a super try hard you can spam rockets up in the air before you even see the other person spawn, or you can fire almost 4 rockets and hope that one of them hits. But shooting one rocket at someone spawning is really not that "bad."

Every time I hear someone say "you are defenseless/can't strafe after spawning" I cringe. You CAN. To me, part of the fun of endif is avoiding getting killed after I spawn. It's actually fun to me. But then again I love to surf.

Also, some games take soooooo long to finish in endif if you and your opponent are both very good at maintaining air control after you get juggled up. Spawn killing makes the games go by faster.

But, at the end of the day, if someone asks me to not spawn kill, I will apologize and respect their request. If someone really doesn't want you to spawn kill, I think it's rude to try and shove your opinion down their throat if they don't agree with you.

I used to be that guy though. I would spawn kill every time and when someone said something to me I would be a total dick about it and troll them. Eventually I realized how lame that was and stoppe.d

I've never heard that one. It made me burst out laughing.

Pick one of your scouts to be the tank. When the mid is officially started, you're gonna get this scout 185, and +fwd with the heals on him.

Or, everyone, minus you and your demo, gets aggressive and goes into them (coordinate though, using communication and timing.) Then you and your demo push up behind them, and then you try to heal anyone who is about to die, trying to keep your team alive and hoping the other team is too hurt to fight anymore, or dead.

Those are a couple of things that came to my mind.

Could always get a good mentor to spectate your scrims and listen to comms. That's a good way for teams to get better at certain things like this.

At times, I am guilty of this :/

I laughed and said a smartass comment because he joined ammomod, surfed every rocket, and then removed when I started winning. I said "later idiot." He then raped me on gullywash and I said gg. I said that I make an effort to care as little as possible. I was much worse not that long ago. I've made some progress but I'm not absolved.

I used to feel just like you. Honestly I did.

But at some point I my concerted effort nothing more than caring as little as possible when people do things like that. I knew thatif I didn't, I would eventually come to (or continue to) another angry mge asshole. I knew that I would just hate playing and would generally not have a good time when playing mge.

Too many times did someone on an alt play as gay as possible and taunt at the end when they beat me. I just decided to stop caring. Since then I've been much happier while playing, and to me, it's made a difference.

But when someone draws first blood it's so tempting and also so easy to drink the Kool aid.

I beat him once in no splash or endif, I thin it was endif. He completely flipped the fuck out and was saying things like "i've been 20-1'ing crespi for years and he thinks because he beats me one time he can taunt? fuck that faggot man" - that's a paraphrase of what he was saying. I honestly felt bad because he was going on about how disrespectful that is, so I tried to add him and tell him I was just fucking around, and the fact that he always shits on me is the reason I taunted - because it's "ironic." Not because I actually think i'm suddenly good and "deserve to taunt"

He wouldn't accept my friend request, in fact he completely blocked all communication from me.

Well tbh I thought the show was pretty good until around the 4th season.

Who else watched the show "Alias" in part because of how hot Jennifer Garner is?

I'm game. Had to pay an extra months worth of premium just to play open grand finals just to get ddos'd. Might as well make something good of it.

I just want to take this opportunity to tell you that when I join you on ammomod, it's nothing like this. I like playing you in ammomod because you're a challenging opponent but you don't surf every rocket and you have really good movement. But it's not because I'm following you around trying to hound you or anything. You used to play a few games with me before you moved on but lately you only play one game and then remove. I know I'm bad and a waste of time probably but I wish you'd play me more.

This explains a lot

This might sound silly but if you're serious about learning how to use a mouse, then I promise you one of the best ways to simply create and condition your muscle memory is surfing.

I often tell people they should try surfing because it forces you to test the limits of your mouse control, and the space available on your desktop on which you move your mouse.

It also forces you to air strafe properly.

Basically, your ability to surf is directly correlated to your ability to control your mouse. The more precise and smooth your mouse movement is, the better surfer you will be.

It's also less personal than mge. I'm not saying that surfing isn't frustrating at times, especially when learning the basics, but you can do it at your own pace. I find it a relaxing yet challenging way to spend time outside of scrims.

Here is the IP for susurfit - a surf server with beginner - intermediate difficulty maps. I recommend starting here. 66.151.244.243:27015

Also, if you've never surfed before and have no idea what to do. Just go to the server, and spectate people who seem like they know what they're doing. Type "!skeys" without quotes in your chat. This will show you the keys that the person you're watching is pressing. That is the best way to learn how to surf.

The ifixit guides are what pop up when you google what I said in my previous post.

But KAMO probably has no idea that this is the problem yet. He may or may not have ever done a computer repair like this before. That's why I gave him so much context and offered my help on steam if he chooses to go that path.

But going straight to an ifixit page with all these tools, schematics, and videos about doing surgery on an apple laptop can be overwhelming if you've never done something like this before :)
