wall of text about people not helping me get better

i dont understand this, tf2 is like the only game where people constantly expect better players to help worse players. here’s a thought, get good on your own.

Well tbh, I would prefer to be in a scene where the top people would help those who aren’t as good.

Most other communities are twats from my experience so I would hope we can be better than those.

In the fighting game scenes, the top players are always giving tips to ppl who come down to the LANs.

We are a small enough scene that we can’t afford to split up and helping out ppl from lower divs means you meet awesome people and have a laugh so I don’t understand why people wouldn’t want to do it.

well someones mad

Just dropping in, it’s 15 pages and you are still keeping the level of the discussion. Keep on going, I don’t except to not be able to stand by my word.

More personally. Meeting people is nice.

I think that’s still pretty neat.

Someone wants a droso vanilla insight. TF2 is dead.

I don’t get it either.

I fully understand that 2am doublemixes are not the ideal place to get known, but outside of that we have virtually no communication with people who can actually help us buck up and improve.

1) add those people you’re playing with
2) Don’t be an absolute idiot nobody can stand like me
3)play mixes apart from those 2am doublemixes/ask for advice instead of shitting your pants cause you have to take initiative
4) ???

Yes it’s not that easy and yea it’s awkard when you as a random, unknown shitter open a conversation with ‘hey, I added u cus u gud. Help me get gud’; but hey, thanks to that I got my hands on Norla’s foolproof -100% succes- way to get into div3+ and now get the chance to be carried around on gent’s strong, manly, soft back. (despite still being basically div6, but at least I’m getting a chance to learn the hard way)

In short: stop mad, think about solutions by yourself and if you’re incapable of that and really need someone to spoon everything in for you, too bad.

In general higher skilled players are less inclined to join a random mix with people they don’t know than they are to ask those people to mix with them. For instance, if someone messages me one day and says “if you’re ever double mixing let me know!” I will remember them and almost definitely ask them next time I need someone for a double mix, but if the same guy asks me to join his mix I’ll often say no.
