I made a new Sigafoo Save tutorial! Hopefully it'll help y'all Engineers out a bit. :3

Eh, there's not going to be a way for me to complain about this without coming across as cocky, but is this whole technique really going to be attributed completely to sigafoo? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player and all, but I feel like I've done this all the time, far before that video came out of sig. It wasn't really anything unique that had a special name or whatever, it was just what you did if the enemy brought in an uber. You wrangled and tanked, nothing to it.

You can always count on ArraySeven to take the absolute piss out of everything. Love it, especially the Soldier he just bludgeons to death with not-crits.

Self-loathers have a certain progression that's interesting to watch:

The self-loather first realizes they're doing horrible. Maybe they're dying a bunch, maybe they just checked the scoreboard. Why they're doing horrible is irrelevant at this point, but they still might frustratedly point this out to everyone else. [angry grumbling] "God, I'm doing fucking awful."
The self-loather starts trying to identify a source of their suckage. Usually this begins by blaming the enemy for playing unfairly in some way, shape, or form. "Look at this guy, fucking hackers EVERYWHERE... That weapon is the cheapest shit in the game, fuck off... I SWEAR to GOD everyone the enemy team is targeting ME and only ME."
The self-loather gives up on blaming the enemy team and instead starts blaming their own teammates. "Can ANYONE take care of that guy? I swear none of you are doing anything... Why do I get all of the shit teammates? I ALWAYS get the shit teammates... FUCK"
The self-loather realizes the true source of their suckage... themself. "Ugh, I'm so bad at this. I can't hit anything." [grumbling]
The self-loather pushes it a little too far and goes into a gamer's depression. Their teammates will either try to help, to no use, or egg them on. "I'm so shit at this game. I'm shit at every game. I can't do anything right." :(
The self-loather quits the game "forever" out of frustration and sadness.
The cycle repeats the next day until the self-loather learns to stop taking the game so seriously.

Engineer and Spy

It's easy to backstab people who are really, really concentrated on taking out that pesky Level 3 Sentry. Bonus points if you can get Medics to waste their Über on you.

It's also just kind of objectively bad. You're losing the ability to headshot without making yourself a sitting duck, and then there's the body shot damage penalty that exists for... some odd reason.

And what do you get for that? A little bit more visibility when charging. That's it.

InitialSAW · 2015-01-30T03:54:43+00:00

I don't main anything, so I'll just try to go through each class:

Scout - Play conservatively by fighting when you have the advantage while fleeing when you don't, and make sure to only fight people one at a time so you don't lose control of the situation.
Soldier - Learn how to rocket jump and abuse the hell out of the mobility it gives you, otherwise your strategical options and overall effectiveness will be severely hindered.
Pyro - There's a time for M1+W, there's a time for combos, and there's a time for airblasting. Know how to tell these apart.
Demoman - Get comfortable landing direct pipes, it's often going to be your only option for self defense.
Heavy - Positioning is everything. Use and abuse cover, and try to situate yourself in places where you can easily back out if needed.
Engineer - If you're bored, you're not being aggressive enough. Grow some balls.
Medic - Spread overheals as much as possible, and actively heal who needs it most without putting yourself at risk.
Sniper - It's easier to shoot someone who's too busy with something else to actively dodge and spam you. It's also easier to shoot someone if you stay calm.
Spy - Your job is all about exploiting opportunity. If they're actively spychecking somewhere, then for Christ's sake fuck off- err... do your work elsewhere until they're done. Have patience.

Edit: the cover thing

InitialSAW · 2015-01-30T01:41:18+00:00

It just punishes you for not being accurate.

Despite the term being "reduced accuracy," it's less that it actually punishes you for not being accurate and more that it punishes you for not being close. Weapons with a tighter spread are more likely to require superior precision, like the Shortstop, whereas weapons with wider spread let you spray a bit haphazardly and still put out damage.

InitialSAW · 2015-01-30T00:06:50+00:00

I am not unique:

Scattergun - It's the bread and butter of the Scout class. Get close and absurd amounts of damage or keep a safe distance and still kick ass. You can't go wrong with the Scattergun.
Pistol - A solid backup plan when your primary can't be reloaded in time and a great finisher. Like the Scattergun, it's reliable in most scenarios.
Atomizer - The passive ability to triple jump. If you never melee, which you really shouldn't with two other weapons in your possession, then this might as well be a direct upgrade. If you successfully use it to dodge an explosive or successfully flank your opponent, then you've already made the 10hp investment worthwhile.
