I, personally, enjoy internal scrims more, though only a little, than external. It's more organized and has a sort of excitement in it that makes TF2 at its best. Not only that, it's also a great learning experience for whoever participates, new or experienced, I'm sure. I'm hoping we have more of these internal scrims to help us, as gamers, gain more skill.
Now, I know that for matches, we have people tell us their preferred classes and what not, but for these internal scrims, I thought it'd be a great chance for us to broaden our skills rather than only sharpen. What I mean is that, we shouldn't only work on our preferred and best classes, but also on other skills, just in case. Sure, this isn't for everybody, but that doesn't mean it's for nobody.
I'm sure you've noticed in more than one situation, we've had troubles with people picking classes and making sure we all could work together. This is due to the lack of people available, not their fault, and the need to scrounge about for people to play in a scrim/match. And of those people, their skills overlap too much and cause a little sort of disturbance in the sense of teamwork and skill. I've talked with a few people and have heard opinions, but haven't heard them all, so please, don't hesitate to speak your mind. I'm sure we all, if not most of us, know that we have some very good soldiers in our group. But, soldiers aren't enough to make a team. Especially in the 9v9. I've heard we don't exactly have many extroadinary scouts. I can think of 2 or 3, but how can we expect, of those three, that at least 2 can make it to every scrim?
So, if possible, we could arrange some special scrims where people play as classes they're not exactly attuned to, but want to get better at or something. This way we can expand our range and worry less about classes being played and more about who can make it and such.
Also, I realize that the pub is a good place to start, but it doesn't build the same skills and such needed in matches. So, I'm hoping we could start something new like this and hopefully, it'll help us play much better in scrims, allowing more of us to be able to switch off to other classes when we're not doing so well in ones we're assigned to.
To start it off, I'm comfortable playing spy, sniper, scout, soldier, and engineer. Now, I'm nowhere near the skill of many in our clan with soldier, I'm still learning that, but I hope to learn how to play demo, scout, and possibly medic. But, my main 3 are solly, demo, and scout. I'm decent in pubs, but nowhere where I need to be for certain matches.
Not sure what else needs to be said, I'm half awake as I type this, but only because I worry I'll forget it later. Hopefully, it makes sense. :)
