    One of these days I'll do a Q&A pulling questions from the comments of my videos. If you have a question, post it in the comments!!

      If you play TF2 casually but regularly (almost every day for 1-3 hours) you can rack up roughly 1K hours per year. Although those hours only reflect how long the game itself was open, not if you actually played in a server, or rearranged your backpack, or hung out in trade servers, or MLG or Jump servers, or spent time watching or editing playdemo files you have recorded. So looking at the "time per class X" is more accurate, because that only counts actual in-server play time.

    My favourite moments in TF2 are either when the team is actually thankful of me playing med or when the entire server is just having fun (e.g, classic Hightower). This game is absolutely brilliant for how varied it is in both content and playerbase, and I'm honoured to be a part of it. Also, I love the Dunning- Kruger Effect, which many players are examples of, while I always try to be fairly critical of myself and attempt improvement. Working (?) so far.

  • @SemuckiProductions
    @SemuckiProductions 7 років тому +3

    Actually the stat on the profile page shows for how many hours you had TF2 open. On that same page if you click on "Achievement Progress" then in the top right corner it will show you how many hours of actual playtime you have had.

    • @jaye3

    I have ~850 hours on TF2, and main spy, and I'd consider a fairly good player, generally speaking in my game, I'm usually top 3 in my team, and top ~5 in the game, but because I don't play comp, and ~850 isn't a lot of hours, so I never get selected for teams, and AU never has any good highlander servers, there's always another spy who has more hours then me, like 478 Como matches, ect, I don't have any unusuals either, but I think, in general, I'm fairly good at tf2

      Hours don’t matter, getting top 5 or 3 in your team doesn’t matter and cosmetics don’t matter. No point in you saying this. Also teams shouldn’t be looking for players with nice cosmetics like that’s pretty dumb. They want to see if u have game sense and decent aim. And yeah ik this comment was a year ago but just wanna let out my thoughts on this comment like

    Question for Mr. Slin: I was inspired by seeing you play in a normal 12v12 pub server to ask this. What would you say is the optimal class composition for 12v12?

    • @nelson3988
      @nelson3988 7 років тому +6

      Justin Uhac There isnt really an optimal class composition for a pub, Its just a cluster fuck and people cant comunicate, so thats one thing.
      But, Maybe the standard comp composition but double or just change a few classes, Or just the higlander composition and add a few flanking and power classes. But in my personal prefrence id say, 2-3 sollies, 1 demo, 2 scootis, a heavy, snip, sphee and a med a pyro, and why not add an enginerr in there. But this is coming out of a dood who has under 1k hours so, Anything can do for a pub i guess

    • @isabeluelmen9727

      3 Heavies, 3 Medics, 3 Demos, 3 Snipers. Boring and slow, but nigh impossible to penetrate, especially with one Kritz Medic and two Uber Medics. Plus, it's very easy to coordinate; it's just three combos and some snipers fucking around.

    Ya know what's depressing about TF2?
    I wish i could remember everything that happened these past 6,000 hours in-game. Not like a perfect recording, but. I wish i could remember just 1 moment out of each session of playing. Good, bad, boring. Not even a perfect memory, just lil details like: I know it was payload, and I know there was this scout i was fighting. I don't remember his name, but I do remember what his scattergun was named. God.
    Just 1 clear memory within each hour. Like a single screenshot taken of a random moment.
    But thing moments I want to remember the most are the beginning. my first kill, my first death, my first drop, my first backstab, my first headshot. first air shot. first uber. first time i played spy. & the first time I played demo &..... no wait
    I remember the first time i played demo
    I remember it vividly cause I told myself: "I WANTED to main SPY. BUT it's too HARD. And DEMO is TOO HARD to main." It was snowy map barnblitz, there's a ladder at last you can walk up onto the roof. I was running up that ramp and jumped off the roof when I thought that. Wow. My earliest memory of TF2
    ...............
    :default dance:
    ...... just realized my earliest memory in TF2 was giving up on interesting classes & doubting my ability.

    @kiramoth2766 7 років тому

    10 000h on steam isn't actually 10 000h of game played, especialy if you're into trading a lot. It varies for everyone, but some people have only a couple thousand hours actually played out of many thousand hours ingame. I bet for you it's pretty high knowing you're playing high level comp, but id say it can only be as high as 90% because it counts getting in the game, connecting, waiting in queues, organising bakpack...things everyone does. And for idling accounts it's 0% of course. I thought youd mention that, it doesnt mean much, it's just a number, but it's still important imo to know how much you have actually practised your classes.

I've tried every mod this game provides, every class, rocketjumping, marketgardening, parkour, dodgeball, screamfortress, zombie mod... EVERYTHING! I have NOTHING LEFT TO DO!!! I still love this game and FORCE myself to play it once a month, but there is nothing left that pushes me there again. I can't understand how much you have no life to be interested by TF2 for that long XD

    Tip #1: Go to Slin's stream.
    Tip #2: Learn all of the local memes and make new ones.
    Tip #3: Enjoy life there.
    On a serious note, I'm glad the people at your stream and chat have slightly marked your life (not me, I focus on making your streaming life harder and annoyed).
    Please, never retire. I really appreciate your streams, they are genuinely a lot of fun and -many times- constructive.
