Haven't read the whole thread but when I first started playing comp its when the game first came out with a few friends and then we all just came up together from the lower divisions (idk?). But that was hours of pcw and matches and losing lots game after game against better clans and players, also days of pickup after pickup and learning how to be in the right place right time etc etc. I'm going to have to start all over again now as I've been away from the game for so long things have probably moved on and I'll be super rusty, I'll probably just do the same again and play lots of pickups merc for any team that needs one and see what where my level is at.
What oggy you making a comeback :))))))]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=551635 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 05:47:01 +0100 Reply by Oggy https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-3/?recent=551641#post=551634 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=551634 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 04:42:21 +0100 Reply by skoolbaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-3/?recent=551641#post=550946 Quoted from sorsa
Loveclop has 13k hours. Ryb has 2k hours. go figure
Except ryb started playing in 2008 and Steam started counting hours in mid-2009's... That's why every old-school player seem to have relatively low hours "go figure"]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550946 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 18:36:22 +0100 Reply by spammy https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-3/?recent=551641#post=550695 Quoted from dodgydogman
very funny wall of text
xD On a serious note, the earlier you'll start digging comp - the faster you'll improve (generally speaking)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550695 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:27:31 +0100 Reply by dodgydogman https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-3/?recent=551641#post=550694 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550694 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 21:35:53 +0100 Reply by W.

[...] "could probably", "theoretically" < Nobody needs your theories. Were you playing in iron when you had like 200 hours? Hell no. You can't even learn game mechanics nor it's physics (source) in that spare of time cos tf2 has it's own specifics like rocket jumping, backstabbing and airblasting and so on. It's not a COD or cs go where you only shoot at people's heads and share infos. Tf2 is an unique shooter almost one of it's kind and it has to be played a lot. And a normal person would start playing it from pubs. Don't you fucking come with 200 hours shit please.
I started comp at HL iron with 300 hours and no idea what comp tf2 actually is. I was lucky enough i got in a cool team which gave me directions and basically told me where to put my sentry as i was trialing. Ended up winning the whole thing and a few seasons afterwards. I guess that is largely due to myself liking a niche class tho.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550462 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:49:47 +0100 Reply by Molehasmoles https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-2/?recent=551641#post=550379 Quoted from zombie

What you are saying in terms of hours needed is three times as retarded as what I'm saying. I'll change my statement, you CAN play in iron with 200 hours and you CAN play high with 1000. Most people aren't as bad as you, they don't need 3500 hours to play comp. It takes them far less time to pick up the game and understand the mechanics and fundamentals of the game.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550379 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:01:39 +0100 Reply by HartzFartz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-2/?recent=551641#post=550336 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550336 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 04:02:19 +0100 Reply by Notorious H.O.T. https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-2/?recent=551641#post=550325 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550325 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 20:54:22 +0100 Reply by warningzombie https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-2/?recent=551641#post=550324 Quoted from Tomu
You make tf2 and comp sound harder than it is.
I'm sorry if this sounded like that. Competitive is not hard, it's a community problem. Most of players don't welcome newbies and they will try their best on insulting newcomers so they wont come again.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550324 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 19:42:34 +0100 Reply by warningzombie https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-32526/page-2/?recent=551641#post=550323 Quoted from Goreston
A lot of decent advice in this thread already, but have you tried forming your own team? Most Open/Iron teams are just groups of friends. See if any of your friends want to play, and if that doesn't give you enough players, see if any of their friends want to play.
I think you are right. I was a bit frustrated when he said that he is up for already created team. I was worried he might be fucked up for not having a good experience. So yes, he should make his own team with his friends. That's the single reason why i mentioned 1k hours.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=32526&post=550323 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 19:39:00 +0100
