Of course, I fully admit to a lack of skillful handling of the degreaser, so maybe I’m just using this as a crutch.

Thanks for posting this Moose; I’ve been reading your blog for a while and its been a source of entertainment and useful tf2 gameplay tips.

I think this may be misleading for new players; if you pop uber the moment before you’d die (so when you’re on really low health), you’re still going to be on low health after the uber fades. It’s all very situational, but generally you don’t want to die right after your uber fades. You’d have to find the balance between popping as late as possible and popping before you’re on too little health.

Thanks

Across the canyon on Goldrush 2, you can come up the side and ignite all the spawn campers around the gate closest to the S. Cabinet, aswell as knocking people of buildings. The fact that the Scorch shot leaves a flare on the ground after succesive hit provides a way to ignite people walking through doorways.

The Spy-Cicle has never been over-powered. It’s a good counter to Pyros, something the Spy NEEDS. The Spy has so many weaknesses, and most classes have a way to Spy-Check.

The Phlog is just annoying, because it encourages M1+W Pyros to run amuck. I do get a kick out of being a Soldier, because I can take them out with their lack of airblast capabilities.

Otherwise everything you said is pretty much correct, the tracer aspect alone means you’ve either got to constantly find new sniping spots or basically resign yourself to a 1.00 k/d ratio.
