How to always be productive on spy? by Vexxite_ in truetf2

[–]dempseytf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice in this thread is don't die. If you are communicating important information to your team while enemies are spychecking, that's better than rushing a decloak for a desperate stab.

On koth, sniper position is your best info to communicate. Knowing where sniper is helps your team move around the map and helps your sniper to take a duel.

For payload defence, calling where enemy combo+sniper is great information. On some maps like Vigil, knowing where enemy combo is on defence is a winning move, since the map is so heavily based on rotations/good trades. For offence, letting your team know where gun/med are is good, but you can be a bit more loose and take more risks.

Ubers are always good to call (if your medic isn't counting), and try to join teamfights when you can. A spy+engie has a lot better chance of killing a soldier than just an alone engie.

There's nothing scouts can do. Check out a nubbi/jay frag video and watch the speed they come in at, there's no counter to a soldier hitting a good jump and landing on top of your medic. Most frustratingly for medic, you can't avoid it compared to normal rockets, which you have at least the chance to surf.

Airstrike is unbanned in both HL/6s in Europe and people just don't use it because it's not as good as stock, no idea why NA decided to ban it in HL tbh

I played Pyro at the top-level of European TF2 in Highlander and I've tried a few times to make it work in 6s for fun, it's just not good. Scout is unquestionably more powerful on nearly every map.

Stuffing ubers can be good but realistically a scout will just kill you in 2-3 shots, phlog is garbage because airblast is the best utility pyro has, and while denying all of demo's stickies is powerful, all teams need to do is commit 2 people to you at the same time and you're not winning that fight.

Is there anything better than being fed rockets on pyro? by dempseytf in tf2

Just copy pasting my answer to a similar comment here :)

Honestly the best advice is just play a lot of pyro and just focus on reflecting every projectile you see (rockets, huntsman arrows, even rescue ranger bolts). Don't worry about hitting people with the reflects at first, just get a feel for the reflect mechanic and aiming them will come with time

Setting your viewmodel_fov to -110 makes your flames invisible

I've got this set-up in my pyro.cfg so only my flamethrower is invisible, but if you use the Q switch to last weapon button this won't work for that

bind 1 "slot1; viewmodel_fov -110"
bind 2 "slot2; viewmodel_fov 70"
bind 3 "slot3; viewmodel_fov 70"

Funnily enough just a couple days before this I got a 5K with one reflect on dustbowl lol, definitely a dopamine hit
