[Music] hello and welcome to the fifth episode of the class mistake series this time we'll be talking about the scalp so grab your man and get some sand because I'm launching this like a baseball off the sand man sorry for the bad pun as a compensation here's a quick ad GF market the place to be trading pricing boss and more all available for you right in the description check it out alright well let's get to the mistakes [Music] number one map effectiveness the first mistake is choosing Scout anywhere anytime in anyhow thinking he fits every map in every situation the Scout definitely doesn't before we go into detail let's check out the Scouts basic stats he's the fastest class in the game caps points and pushes payload twice as fast the Scout is able to jump more than once in the air making him a hard target these stats make the scout for an amazing class 4/5 control points maps but still people on maps even like Dust Bowl decide to stack the class up to three or even four they think they're useful defending wood Scout with such incredible success he's not a defense class Scouts are better suited for quick offensive strikes rather than defending against other classes attacking their objective pyro heavy or soldier are better fitted for defense but if you still insist on playing scale even on defense at least don't do the upcoming mistakes number two teleporters this one is about lazy stunts over here that uses the teleporter to spider increase speed I'm not saying you're not allowed to use the teleporter as the scout but for Gavin's sake if you see a heavy coming out with you and you rush to the teleporter leaving him to eat your dust you do nothing but hurt your team [Music] letting your slower teammates use the top order increases your team's battle effectiveness and might even make you find a creepy spy on your way to the front unless your teleporter is level 3 there's no point in using it instead of your medic or soldier so remember you're fast and quick so don't be a dick how do I put this nicely medics don't kill Scouts what number 3 if the title didn't make it obvious this mistake or misconception is about crying for healing thinking you're the only one there or are the top priority for healing instead of complaining or blaming your team's medic for supposedly pocketing their heavy use your legs literally [Music] you're the FAFSA class in the game run back to spawn and resupply or find a nearby health care door dispenser the medic has priorities and you're not in the top unless you're some god scout that carries your team of course that's usually the case in common Highlander games but if you're in sixes things can be different regardless don't be a scut be a proud independent Scout number four wrong loadout every class has it every class will have it situational weapons and tools that's the core element of the game some examples if there's a spy creeping around and you refuse to change the pyro take the milk and mark and as soon as you can this can greatly help your team with ridding yourselves off this annoying french ninja or throw the milk at the enemy tanks helping your team gain health by playing the game and not hiding from damaging the enemy use the bonk atomic punch on a tag defense mass for clutch plates and equip the pistol for range and increased dps on 5cp maps you can also help your medic gain uber charge you are damaging yourself with the Boston basher something often we use the competitive game always look at the gains of situational changing environment adapt number 5 bonk atomic not so used properly punch some still don't notice but the bomb can be used for more than flanking the enemy in god mode you can use it for making a daring escape but on low HP blocking in enemies uber by body blocking the DPS and save your teammates by taking damage of dangerous damage sources this leads us to one of its most prominent uses taking the damage of sentries this can be incredibly useful allowing your team to save an uber for the next push rather than using it on the century this could protect and even save your teammates from the almighty aimbot century so do equip it when the situation calls for it [Music] number six targeting this mistake is in relation to proper strategy as it's not always simple to aim and think for example some scouts think that attacking the heavy being healed by the medic is a good idea well it's not you should always think about who to kill first because it has huge significance killing the healer before the DPS can leave the DPS vulnerable to your team even if you die also destroying their uber or whatever they were able to build to that point killing the stronger enemy players like a skilled sniper or a smart demo can help your team attack without worrying of being outplayed focusing the energy can prevent centuries from appearing and crucial teleporters of the enemy will not work so choose your fight and plan ahead number seven movement this one is for the scout players that don't use the scouts full potential and movement the scout can double triple and even quadruple jump but for some reason most Scouts don't use this amazing physics-defying power having the power to shift your direction midair is not only [ __ ] with some angry physics professors but also with your enemies [Music] you can also dodge snipers with ease making them hopelessly lost in desperation jumping multiple times in the air can prevent the enemy soldier from using Splash Damage against you in most cases leaving only the direct hit soldiers with the challenge of aiming well enough to hit you this includes the demo as he can even uses shotgun which leaves him in the mercy of your aiming skills and his this can also allow you to destroy a fully healed heavy as jumping can severely increase the difficulty in hitting you to summarize jump move and aim all at once is the scouts greatest power a small and nimble power in the fight number eight knowing your place in a fight even with your amazing abilities to dodge and move like a careless bird in the sky you're not exactly rich in HP even when overview charging to the front straight into soldiers demos or even heavies all at once will most likely lead you to dying without ever achieving anything significant [Music] it even looks funny seeing a poor guy just trying to get some kills only to be obliterated by stronger DPS the Scout is not the frontline class he is offense but not that crazy your role as the Scout is to camp points faster support and not lead a push flanking and disrupting the enemy's back lines and healers tracking spies with magic milk and being a physical nuisance overall taking down the teleporters entrance is also possible if your spine hasn't gone in there yet or is just bad that's of course if you're on a map that allows you to properly use scalp [Music] number nine choosing Scout much like any other class sometimes it can get stacked and it's never for the better five Scouts on the fence and dustbowl is just begging the enemy to destroy you there's no point in stacking the scout or any other class in that matter don't join the idiocracy either switch servers or teams be better than that there's no point in stacking the Scout because becoming the fifth Scout and the losing team and going all toxic and chat [ __ ] team oh my god report will do nothing more but amuse the enemy team having one or two Scouts is fine depending on the situation they can be great but it's always about that this situation one last important part when choosing Scout your aim scout is a fast paced class and fighting the enemy in such speed especially when going against under Scout can be difficult so unless you trust your aim don't go all Rambo and slow down your team to increase your accuracy make sure your sensitivity is properly set and work hard on your rain and deathmatch maps to practice and improve your aim and movement it all comes down
