Also, I would extremely suggest to use jump/duck script. It helps a lot in the strafing.

As you probably know, it’s impossible to jump away from the rocket, sticky or nade, if you haven’t pressed the “duck” button together with the “jump” button.

Some people claim, that it is like an instinct, to crouch when you jump from something away. But imagine the situation, when you are just running somewhere and not expecting anything to jump on you?
No matter what happens, I always jump. Not all the time of course, because in some places sniper can take you down pretty much easy, but almost all the time, when moving, I am jumping.
And then enemy soldier comes from behind and shoots a rocket in to my feet. I haven’t noticed him, but fortunately I have jumped exactly at the same time, when the rocket has exploded near my feet and then I managed to fly away very fast and very high as well as for a very long distance away from that soldier.

Yes, it is possible to instinctually press the crouch button all the time when you jump, but when you will just jump in the situations, when you really don’t have to do that, you won’t be arsed to spam that crouch bind all the time, believe me. And in my situation, if not the jump crouch script, I wouldn’t fly away for a long distance from that soldier and he would easily finish me down.

Medic theory is good, but before trying to master it, it’s always better to set up the gaming conditions first.

Hmm ok Il see if I can add a cfg section in the guide or something and put some of these things in. Thanks for the feedback :)

Mirelin mate you are a dribbler. Stickies can do up to 128 damage. Learn 2 numbers.

Yeah I was wondering the same; your health turns red at such a high number, yet on all the VODS we watch we say you delaying your uber so much it doesn’t seem very related to this particular amount of health at all. Surely your suggestion only makes one pop sooner, rather than later?

On the other hand, I suppose when your health turns red sooner, you’ll start playing more carefully, result being that you take less damage.. Hm.

Gonna try this out regardless :D

Stickies can 1 shot scouts, something to do with it being centre of the hitbox and detonating in the shortest time i think, its pretty rare, but can happen if the stars align.

Of course It’s always better to pop up sonner than droping the uber like Admirable time to time does.

About the moments, where I am not ubering with 50hp, much depends on the tactics and teamplay of the team of mine, really.
I am pretty confident in my team and in my dodging. In the situations, where an enemy scout is trying to force me, I just know that he won’t be able to do an accurate full meatshot on me(in virtue of my dodge) and I know that he’s being hardly focused and can’t hit me precisely even more.
That’s why in the most of the situations I am risking. If you risk, you will get the double benefit from the every situation in which you are struggling in.

Also, you should never forget that if you risk, you can fail. That’s why it’s better to play safe, when, for example, it’s 1 minute left till the game will be over and an uber drop may lead the enemy team to the victory.

Sorry, but I don’t play on pubs, where “tf_damage_disablespread” setting is enabled.

Stickies can do 128 in a 6v6 match…

Cool. Playing TF2 since 2008 and so far not a single sticky damaged me more than for 113 hp.

Well, 2 stickies definitely do more than 113 damage. =D
