I can place myself into a one-time-hacker's frame of mind. You wonder what it's like, then you try it out, maybe even in a comp setting.

But this guy, hes been doing this shit for like 4 years or something. like even that's enough to grow from a 15 year old impulsive nerd to a 19 year old !!! It's pretty clear to me that for 99% of people who hack, its because you're impulsive and maybe not entirely thinking of how your behavior might come off.

Maybe he doesnt care, that's what a lot of people would say, but the guy has like 6000 hours of TF2 and hes been playing forever.

How can you keep playing and keep hacking, and keep coming back to TF2, and keep telling everyone youre going to play ESEA and then never actually playing, and 'scrimming' low mid teams and laughing when you win (or lose lmao)... I wonder how long it'll take for one person who plays so much to mature. It doesn't make any sense

also why do they always have an instagram of some girl as their avatar

well rick is truly an exceptional player :P

Ideally, you shouldn't ever have to "save people" with the uber. When you have uber and they don't, you should be using it to get aggressive into them. If they have uber and push into you, you should definitely be using it to exchange and either get frags or get out, depending on how the exchange goes. When we get caught off guard with uber and I have to save someone, I call it a "reactive" uber, rather than a "proactive" uber, because you're just reacting to what the other team is doing rather than controlling the fight yourself. If you do get caught in that situation though, you should definitely pop to save your team.

Whenever the ubers are even, and you are going to exchange ubers, you should try to pop as late as you can, without dropping anyone on your team. Ideally, if ubers are even, you shouldn't have to save anyone except for your pocket--if people are dying during an even uber exchange, you should yell at them, because they shouldn't be in that fight. Except for your pocket. If you have advantage, you can pop earlier and flash to keep everyone's health high.

When you have even ubers, you can go kritz, call your percentage every ~15%, and make sure nobody dies at 85%. You have to know where their combo is before you kritz in, and then be moving in at 90%.

A kritz push for me looks like:
10% - 50% flank calling where their combo is.
70% - 80% buffing everyone before the fight
80% - Making sure our demo is loaded up and buffed
90% - Moving whereever we need to go to kritz
0% - Demo doing 500dpm

Usually teams will only run sniper if they have disadvantage and need that pick. If you have advantage, you can pop early. If its even, just push into their flank since they're down a scout. If you don't think the sniper can hit his shots, do whatever you want.

For every person you flash, you lose like 1.5 seconds of uber time. You also lose uber time if you aren't healing anything during the uber. Try to keep flashing to a minimum as much as possible. This is also on your teammates--if you're pushing in and your teammates are too close to the exchange and have to get flashed, yell at them for getting too close.

hope that helps.

is this a major complaint about the update? i kinda feel like tf2 has every weapon idea pretty much covered... the first good unlocks (gunboats, kritz, eyelander, huntsman, etc) are already made—the "low hanging fruit." Every weapon update since then has either added really weird shit, really overpowered weps, or useless weps, with maybe 1 out of 20 weapons being viableand balanced. Id rather they focus balancing the existing weapons and optimizing the game.

ya'll shouldn't write off private universities. for me many of them were less expensive than large public schools because of financial aid, even though the sticker price is like $50,000+.

obviously the large schools like NYU have legions of rich parents lining up to pay, but many smaller private schools are very flexible with financial aid.

dont get into debt in your undergrad, it blows.
