waah im hartz and i get triggered by russians calling my dumpster a dumpster
it’s not a difficult class in highlander god knows I’m on a free (class based) ticket to higher levels
I have decent DM despite low hours low experience haha look at the noob etc just need some guidance with decision making etc minus the lolhl and the jokes
I’m actually looking to improve, become a better player overall, look for guidance, become a decent well-informed member of the community, whatever synonym you’d prefer. What a surprise – ETF2L forum seriousness OMFG

I’m well aware it’s not difficult.
It’s just that there is a difference between pure DM and decision making.
is it wrong that I want to improve as a player?
Way to go, to the replies above, with making TF2 competitive, and community leagues as a result, somewhat inviting to new players who might have anxiety like I had a year ago, by the way. Players who want to improve get welcomed with a “lol ur class is easy fuck off noob” vibe. Even those with some, minor, experience.
So yeah, anyone who actually wants to mentor me and help me improve as a soldier – add me.

Sorry forgot you’re the best highlander soldier! Please continue to embrace us with your masterful opinions.
if you struggle at decision making and not dm then look at your own demos and when you die just ask yourself how you could’ve played better
mostly though its just gaining experience so you can rise through the divs
other than that what do you expect from a mentor? with highlander having 8 other people involved you either play off your team or you’re used as a distraction, both requires your team to not be poop
Good luck finding a mentor but if you fail to get one then you could always try investing the effort to go and learn it yourself.
I suggest watching STVs of Prem games and study the soldiers that seem to rely less on DM or gimmicks and more on being on the right place at the right time as that will likely help you become more consistent the fastest. Like Quintosh said, it all depends greatly on your team and so you should also freecam around to study how the teams are set up. People play certain roles in certain positions for good reasons, not by coincidence and eventually you’ll notice patterns emerge. You’ll notice what exactly it is they are shutting down and therefore how you can mimic such attempts to help your team. I then recommend you go ahead and add soldier mains to ask them for their opinions.
“Why do you do X?”
“Why do you hold here?”
“Why not do Y instead?”
“How come this works but that doesn’t?”
I’ve noticed that there’s different types of soldier playstyles and the most common one seems to be the silent “just cover the flank” role. I don’t believe that such a simplistic and neglecting mentality is healthy however and so don’t limit yourself to being just that. Personally, I enjoy having a soldier who can understand when he’s supposed to assist the flank and when he’s supposed to communicate a coordinated bomb with the combo. Lonewolfing is frustrating.
Watch your demos, watch prem soldier demos, add said prem soldiers and ask all your questions and talk with your team before and after each scrim. What do they want from you? What do you believe you can do that’s most useful? Reach some form of consensus and then ask if you should continue doing that.
