Why is Scout so hard?

[wepfhwepfhp]

I didn't have internet for half a day, so I decided to play with bots. I played one round as every single class on Hard difficulty. Results:
Spy - MVP
Sniper - MVP
Medic - MVP
Engineer - MVP
Heavy - MVP
Demoman - MVP
Pyro - MVP
Soldier - MVP
Scout - 2 times more deaths than kills

Now I was playing Landfall (I have a contract for it) and I was playing Scout, to quickly get the points. Sadly, after playing for 20 minutes, I got way more deaths than kills, I was furious that I can't hit ♥♥♥♥, and I generally was a waste of a player slot, despity trying my best.

WHY IS SCOUT SUCH A DAMN HARD CLASS TO PLAY?!

[SirBongyTheSecond]

Because the hardest class to play is probably the Spy.

[Christavius Tombtime]

Scout isn't hard if he has mad milk.








Did you catch the joke ;y

Because your game as scout depends on FPS and teamwork.

Teamwork? Isn't Scout the best 1v1 class?
As for FPS, I haven't exactly measured them, but from how the game feels, it's easily over 100 FPS. And my ping is rarely higher than 25

For me, Spy is MUCH easier to play than Scout.

Yes, yes I did.

No, Scout isn't 1v1, Scout is last hit on an already dying enemy. Scout is the parasite and fun is the host.

He's a flanker and a dming class.

lol scout... HARD?

the only issues you should even remotely have is dealing with exceptionally skilled soldiers, sentries(a given) and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hitreg making your meatshots do like 10 damage.

Dont worry just keep practicing,youll get it.you are still fairly new to tf2,itll come to you after awhile of learning how,when who,to go after.and what items work best for your play style.

You've looked at my playtime? Heh, just so you know, I played on several accounts, and I reset my stats recently. Just so I can get dem achievements again, it's so much fun. Either way, I actually have almost 1100 hours in TF2, and Scout is probably my least played class.

That's what happens when I use Force-A-Nature :D

I think you're talking to some pro Scout, not to me. I have problem with anything, from a Heavy to a Demoman

GIT gug

[Ass exploder]

Scout isnt bad, hes kinda usefull on the team. He has to mess with the enemy team and defend shiz,

[Triceracop]

Aiming with A and D is difficult

[Stink3y]

As a Scout you'll need quick reflexes to maximise damage with your Scattergun up close, as well as the ability to dodge attacks and make smarter decisions on picking your battles.

Really depends on your playstyle. You're fast and can deal heavy damage but you die easily to almost every class.

If you like playing high-risk high-reward and playing hit-and-run tactics you'll like Scout.
However if you prefer playing more conservatively and being able to tank more damage, Scout would be a bad choice to play.

I guess. I really like Pyro and Heavy, Heavy with his high helath and large DPS, and Pyro with his reflect and pretty decent DPS as well. When playing Scout, I either can deal a lot of damage with highly predictable moves or twich around like a madman and miss all 6 shots

[Balding swiss subhuman]

Scout is pretty tough imo, probably because I don't play as him :^]
