As for Sorsa’s question (not really playing with BFN btw) the only 2 relatively decent main callers are demo and heavy, the real thing here is that if those 2 classes have confidence.

Main calling is easier than people think and considering you peeps get scrims nearly everyday it should be normal for your heavy or demo maincaller to get used to it.

spy is the best class for calling dont u understand u can go invisible and seeee things

I thought it was another typical “durrr stabby retarded cuz he responded to h8er” post but I read it again and understood what you meant.

3 seasons of calling top kek.

heavy or med

Quoted from The Great American S

I’m not very experienced in Highlander (in the Open right now) but I’m the Pyro, and I’m the maincaller.

On CP maps, I usually stick with the medic and heavy, and I’m always the one who calls for a push or to fall back, or whatever.

On defense on Payload, I don’t really call, but stick with the engineer, and we all kind of call stuff out.

On offense, I am also the caller.

I think that any class can be the caller really, except for maybe the Sniper, who’s usually too far from the battlefield to tell what’s really going on.

I did the same at the very beginning, but once you reach a certain level, anything other than demo/medic/heavy will simply not work out for you.

In my case as a Medic I just tell the core, as someone else has mentioned, what they have to do and where to position themselves.

Using that information, flank (Soldier, Scout, Spy) can deduct using tiny amount of intelligence on where the rest of the team is, so THEY can position themselves accordingly. I usually never tell people how to do shit, because they know that better then I do. I just tell them what we need to do to extend the advantage. Occasionally I can ask someone from the flank to accompany me when I’m missing my combo or tell them to do something specific.

Kills and deaths should be called respectively by each class. Based on that Medics, Heavies and Demos can continue positioning themselves (i.e. Sniper down – you can go in the open, so you see more). It’s natural and should be something you do automatically instead of waiting for the call from maincaller.

Usually in teams I play on as a Med I only give out general calls, as Bulow said before, I see like 75% less than other people up front. Calls like uber percentages, advantages, Tab pressing, calls when to push and when to back out.

Rest of the calls are made by the team, whether when to focus on someone or leave an area, Spy calls, kill calls. Simply because I’m not a part of that imidiate action, it’s their job to give me information I need to make a decision, whether to push or not.

Then again, I make mistakes as well, as any human being. Sometimes someone from the team proposes something like ‘Maybe we should use the left flank when pushing this time’. I always say yes, because they definetly know about that spot something I don’t. And it usually pays off. Help the maincaller, you are on the same team after all.

My $0.02.

I agree with bulow, but the most important thing is to have someone fluent calling. I can’t call for shit if I’m distracted and get caught up in my own sentence. You need a main caller that can keep it short and simple (KISS).

But that doesn’t matter anyway, it seems like most teams have 9 main callers calling everything they can at all times.
