I feel compulsory mumble is a good step to go in. Currently there is not very much voice comms going on in the pugs and it makes learning as a new player such as myself harder. It also encourages more teamplay rather than a DM fest that it seems to be now.

Thanks for the fakelag tip, did not know that existed.

My memory was foggy, actually it was gullywash. But the truth is, it was not that the jumps were hard, it was that I've never attempted them before and all I know of them were from watching comp tf2 and the youtube vid before the game =S. I've sinced tried them and they are pretty easy.

Yeah that was exactly my worry especially for my main which is demo where it is quite detrimental to the team if i'm late. I did play a PuG yesterday but unfortunately it was on snakewater, a map which I had not practiced rollouts on (or play on for that matter =S). My team got trounced due to me being so slow =S But it was fun and i'll definitely be working on my rollouts

Yeah, I personally feel I just need to get into it and improve from there. I'm just a little worried about being terrible I'll probably start out as a roamer solly rather than a demo since a demo is so important in 6s play. I have almost equal hours on demo and solly anyway. I'm assuming the pocket in Asian TF2 is the solly rather than the demo right ? Since Asian TF2 seems rather NA centric.

Thanks for the tips, I am working on my rollouts but at the moment it's far too inconsistent for my liking.

Oh you can just sit in spectate and watch ? I guess I should watch a couple of matches to gauge the relative skill levels then.

Hi guys, i've been playing tf2 since Jan 2012 and have logged about 2.1K hours. I've always enjoyed pubbing enough to not venture into comp play. However, i've been getting very frustrated playing in local pubs these days (whats with the obsession with sniper/spy) and would very much like to get into more sensible tf2. I've played mainly PL maps as demo/solly so I don't know 5cp maps well and cant really do rollouts properly. I'd like to start Pugging but fear my lack of 5cp map experience + general incompetence with rollouts will frustrate and annoy the shit out of people. My question is, should I just dive in or should I work on my rollouts first ? Are there people just as shit as me with their rollouts ?
