    You to pay attention to who has uber, where the combo is, what players are alive, etc...
    Yeah ill stick to Pubs

    • @creeperizak8971
      @creeperizak8971 4 роки тому

      Yeah this advice probably doesn't work too well in pubs, but it wouldn't hurt to try and figure out what classes they have, as soon as possible.

    • @euugh8877
      @euugh8877 3 роки тому

      In pubs the best information you can get is number advatages. How many teammates and how many enemies are alive is a free information that you can keep track of.

    Great video Steve! I was actually noticing how defensive clockwork was playing while still maintaining good pressure. I think I should take some notes :)

    Hey slin, this is directly related to the video, but i was wondering when you mentioned about crit heals, i occasionally pepper the enemy with rockets doing like 20 or so damage and what not, but i always thought this may of been a bad idea as the extra damage help build uber, but does taking the crit heals away benefit more? or most likely im guessing it depends on the circumstance?

    • @redstonespy
      @redstonespy 10 років тому +3

      Taking away crit heals is great if you get the chance to from range, as it means that not only does it take longer to buff a single player but the healing will he focused more on each player for longer, rather than it being very easy for the heals to be shared around... If this makes any sense.

    • @MRSLIN
      @MRSLIN  10 років тому +16

      Don't worry about helping to build their uber. At upper levels of the game it's all about doing as much damage as you possibly can -- during teamfights Medics often struggle to keep their team fully buffed, so they're constantly building uber anyways. If you can consistently hit 20-40 damage rockets as a roamer, you're doing an amazing job.

    1. Checks for stickies
    2. If spots stickies, actually calls them
    3. Just makes calls in general
    4. Pays attention to medic in distress
    As a triggered medic main, I can agree with all of this.

  • @Dazeencraft
    @Dazeencraft 7 років тому

    I've been playing on Valve servers from the start and the only way I see myself improve is playing against better players till you max that skill cap, then move to higher divs to meet even better players till you max that skill cap and continue onward. Or at least that is what I think... as I've been pubstomping since 2012, but now changing to UGC and TF2Center, the difference is quite huge from your everyday casual players and free to plays.

  • @launfulestacado2842
    @launfulestacado2842 10 років тому

    Yeah I agree with what you are saying, but think of it this way, a team wants to get into competitive gaming but then are not good enough even for highlander and have to be stuck with playing pubs and even more stuck with playing with their own due to their friends being 1) bad 2) have no computer 3) do not have Team Fortress 2 and 4) maybe shy of other people and their voice so they cant find anyone that is good. and their are many other reasons but those are the ones I wanted to list due to me thinking they was more important. But lets give me a reason why its hard, 1) I am only 14 and some people get annoyed 2) I have a team but they are not as good as I hoped 3) They have a different time schedule by being in Finland, Netherlands, Denmark and England 4) We do not have a full team. Is their any advice which I could use to get to a competitive level. Thanks for the help much appreciated.

    • @rk-rb1vy
      @rk-rb1vy 10 років тому +6

      A lot of medics have a 40 second timer to tell if the other team has uber

    • @solin21210
      @solin21210 10 років тому

      ***** Here's one problem.Respawns are random,so I don't know when will he spawn.

    • @2nd_Law
      @2nd_Law 10 років тому +12

      Tracthor The Cute One Yes the time of the respawn changes depending on the circumstances, but it is easy to press tab to look at who has respawned and who hasnt yet :)

    • @redstonespy
      @redstonespy 10 років тому

      Keep an eye on the name of the medic, and you get used to when medics will have uber. For example, if a medic stays alive through a mid fight, assuming the med has been healing (should always be the case) then the med will have uber after the mid fight. You can also compare the time difference between when your medic may have spawned and compare it with the enemy medic to get a rough idea of the uber difference.

    • @mockingbird667
      @mockingbird667 10 років тому +3

      Tracthor The Cute One Respawns aren't random, they're all determined by the current point the team is holding. Usually, respawns are _relatively_ fast if your team is holding mid, slower if you're holding 2nd, and down to a snail's pace when you're holding last. Your respawns aren't faster if you're attacking their last, though; or else pushing from last to 2nd would be *absurdly* difficult. This all depends on the map, since they all have unique respawn times.
      In my opinion, uber tracking and keeping note of the enemy medic's life (and death, not HP ofc) should be up to your team's Medic.
      The reason why is because he can pretty much look at Tab for 80% of the game while the other classes will be busy spamming, trying to survive and getting picks. Moreover, main Medics just have that intuition of just how long the enemy Uber will take to cook up. Of course, EVERYONE should look at tab frequently, especially before a push and after one. During a push though is not a good thing to do, unless you're out of danger.

    @coldeed 8 років тому +5

    The difference is tf2 pros don't even play tf2 anymore. They play 6s meta, because they are incapable of adapting to different strats, and want to play a fast brain dead game of scout and soldier.
    Then when a player like star tries something new like demo knight as a pick class the pro scene cries like a ton of fucking pub heroes and refuse to play against it, even though it is a fast paced playstyle that is fun to play and watch while being less stale then the current meta.
    TF2s pro players are honestly worse then the veterans that don't play 6s.

    • @coldeed
      @coldeed 8 років тому

      ***** Valve didn't make any weapons with competitive play in mind.
      6s meta has nothing to do with tf2, and is honestly full of elitists that argue with fans of the actual game. I'm fine with 6's existing, but its sale and boring, where for a long time the meta was based off of obscure shit that very few people even care about.

    • @coldeed
      @coldeed 8 років тому

      ***** 6'S IS NOT A COMPETITIVE GAME.
      It limited the weapons that would change the meta and make other classes more viable.
      My problem is 6's is considered less casual then base tf2 for some reason.
      That does not mean I want 6's to disappear, it means I wish tf2s comp scene was a better format, one that was actually similar to tf2 without the obscure rules that are set to define a meta that is not based around bring the best strats in tf2 to the for front.

    • @coldeed
      @coldeed 8 років тому

      ***** Also as another point about stocks, stock only is good, but that's only one version of tf2s leagues.

    • @coldeed
      @coldeed 8 років тому

      ***** 500 hrs dota, 1000 hrs lol, 550 hrs csgo, 300 hrs cs source, 1500 hrs tf2 and an novice smash bros player/skullgirls player that has played tourneys of both.
      I know what games what are competitive are. Tf2 is not one of them, especially 6's meta.
      I used to play 6's and HL in 2013-2014.
      A game needs more then a high skill ceiling to be a competitive game. It needs a structure, one that bans are only used if absolutely necessary. 6's is not a good setup, coming from a fan that played in 6's that holds tf2 as one of my favorite games. Shame I stopped playing due to other games having better comp setups.

    • @coldeed
      @coldeed 8 років тому

      ***** The thing is 6's left on its own has bans for no reasons and is moronic in the reasons for it. We ban 2 demos/medics etc because it is too strong yet 2 scout and 2 soldiers is allowed even with that strat being on top in the meta.
      It would be better to either allow 2 of any class to give actual freedom to teams to pick as they see fit or all classes be limited to 1 if class stacking is an issue. If you are gonna ban movement items because it allows a tanky class to get back obby quickly then you might as well ban gunboats. If maps are easy to exploit with certain weapons you should ban that weapon on that map only, or remove the map due to its poor design in a comp setting.
      You opened up saying tf2 wasn't made to be a comp game, but 6's rules are not made to make a comp game either. The only truly comp aspect of 6's is people play them to tryhard.
