Noice, cheers guys! I could certainly do with looking behind me more often.
Another thing I've noticed I do today is I get too close to my healing targets (must be all that time spent staring at a chunky ruskies backside) so I take stupid little bits of splash damage...sodding 'nades.
I'm big into self criticism, so if anyone see's me do something dumb please point it out!
I'll try and put all this into practice.
Maybe removing that bullseye from the back of my neck will help too.

kbramman has of course got the medic advice right. He has learnt a bit of his sage knowledge at the back end of my suicidal tendencies.

He has learnt to (mostly) never follow me into battle unless he is fired-up and ready to blow an uber.

Also trust no one who is behind you, its probably Agent or (insert any evil spy!) about to plant their love blade in your back.

You and SHP stinger, he's just as bad!!

One comment to everyone else who's not a medic, and it's been said so many times before, but I need to say it here again.

Please, for love of god (or whatever) do not spam the medic button, if you are not being healed, trust me that there is a good reason for it and we will get to you soon.
I really don't care about your or my KPD, I care about winning, so if you die - to bad, those lovely people at valve will stick you back together within 10--20 seconds and you can try again...

Oh, and if you carry on spamming it, your deaths will go up massively as you'll find out that no medic will heal you at all until you rage quit...

ALWAYS. HEAL. OTHER. MEDICS.

NO. MATTER. WHAT. IS. HAPPENING.

It does amaze me how often people don't do that, spot on kbramman.

Notice that this thread is veering wildy off course, we have a forum for advice threads. Keep it to opinions of other players.

Well Agent it was me who pointed you out to Hito after noticing you were a handy sniper and good with your revolver

And im not bothered being criticised, i do it myself everytime i die, i look back, nope should of jumped down there etc the slow and painful process of figuring out what exactly you should and shouldnt do, as part of the reason i get relativly high kpd's is because of desicsion making when to pull back and when im in over my head, although ican say alot of this was due to how much you are needed to stay alive in comp play. Another thing is to notice ou health changing in the bottom left hadn corner, there are so many people who are completely unaware of you shooting them in the back

Thats kinda a bit of advice but who can i criticise hmmmm
Stinger: you spend too long holding down mouse 1 and the forwards key and paly a noob class In all seriousness i cant think of anyone to criticise so i guess you lto are lucky

Well Ares, someone beat you to it five pages ago.

Haxx snatchers!- gives you clear advantage!

taking med packs when someones on fire or theres a medic nearby that needs it etc i've done it a few times by mistake or not paying attention its really bad play, also taking metal in set-up when not an engie, specially as red on dustbowl or pl maps

Thanks Ares. Without you I would've missed the whole league experience.
