Simple/stupid mistakes you know you should never make (but still do)

[AbbyW]

Y'all know that long hall at the top of the stairs after you go through the sewers in 2fort? I keep running down that hall as a pyro with my shotgun/flaregun out and always ALWAYS bump into a soldier/demo without my flamethrower, and thus, no airblast. :<

[XDubermonkey]

Bump into a corner as a pyro.
OH SWEET JESUS THERE ARE SO MANY SPIES AROUND HERE!!!

For some reason I find very hard to headshot demos. Is like the collar in his vest makes me fail :v:

aim above their head

Mechanically attempting to airblast and fire a flare at a pyro. Christ almighty, it's just a reflex.

Heh, shotgun pyro master race :v:

[QUOTE=Ian;32518928]Heh, shotgun pyro master race :v:[/QUOTE]
i sometimes end up using the shotgun as a primary weapon.

its effective from close to medium and can reach to long range.
degreaser for when shit needs to burn and airblasting stuff.
backscratcher for hope of criticals.

[Tentacle]

[QUOTE=Ian;32518928]Heh, shotgun pyro master race :v:[/QUOTE]

I switch to shotgun in the event of Direct Hit soldiers or other pyros, but I normally favour the flaregun. Everything dies.

[slashsnemesis]

Turning around to run away from a backburner pyro.

[Hemaglox]

Running directly toward a Loch N Load Demo

[CrazyBaconLegs]

Trying to track a sniper as he moves while scoped in rather than unscoping and adjusting.

As a side note I've found playing on sniper only servers for a while has improved my aim with all hitscan weapons.

[QUOTE=Hemaglox;32533758]Running directly toward a Loch N Load Demo[/QUOTE]This and expecting a soldier's self splash damage to make running up to melee him work against him instead of against me.

[9600bauds]

i'll just whip out my melee to kill this guy instead of rationally using my primary weapon
because i totally got him [I]right[/I]

whoops dead

[Smartlord]

Attempting to melee fight with a Demoknight

[Eeshton]

Not getting into a melee fight when the Demoman with no heads yet does. Seriously, you have a better chance of killing them if they don't have any heads.

going towards a heavy who has his melee out with the intention of having a melee fight and realizing that I have the Fan o' War.

One time I actually killed a heavy with it.

Thats nothin, i killed a medic - heavy combo with my pan as demoman. Felt good...

seeing a demoman running with his face towards you down a corridor

boom

[Zadrave]

Thinking Sniper's huntsman taunt lands 100% of the time.

[Angelspit]

Trying to rocket jump over that side shack on the first stage of Dustbowl.

[Forkball]

Trying to kill someone using only the flamethrower instead of the shotgun/axtinguisher. Like this:

ahhaha i love how he just turns around like that

I always rage when soldier or demomen blow them self up to kill you, even though I do it sometimes by accident admittedly.

And that is why you use the backburner when you attempt such things.

[QUOTE=FuryBlitz;32599447]Thats nothin, i killed a medic - heavy combo with my pan as demoman. Felt good...[/QUOTE]

Killed a Heavy/Medic combo with only my trusty Übersaw, and the Heavy first. I'm serious.
[sp]I "ambushed" them on pl_badwater's first floor in the C building, and by "ambush" I mean I accidentally walked into them. The Medic saw me, the Heavy didn't, so I figured there was no way to escape (the combo was on their way to the exit on RED's side, so even if I (RED Medic) decided to retreat back to base, they would've gotten me from above) and I tried to hit the Medic, but he was jumping and dodging too well. So I desperately tried to hit the Heavy and, lo and behold, his skull was so thick I was able to hit him twice before he even turned around, and I proceeded to jump and dodge like a Scout on crack. After I killed him with MASSIVE help from the crit gods, I ate a couple of syringes from his Medic buddy, but another lucky crit took care of that as well.
Victory after an adrenaline surge never felt so goddamn rewarding. And we did a fairly nice pushback with the ubercharge I harvested, too.[/sp]

On topic: Not moving my sentry enough when deffing the intel. Once that Soldier or Demo has died once, he'll know exactly how to corner the sentry next time, you fool.
