1. get used to the weapons
A lot of the Scouts weapons have completely diffent upgrades and downgrades. The backscatter may cause mini crits on the back, you only have four shots before reloading and then you have to get behind someone to get that minicrit, While the Force-a-nature has great knockback, not only allowing you to send someone flying but also allowing a third jump but it comes at a price as it only has two shots before it has to reload. It's better to learn your weapons before you think they're similar and say to yourself "Well I'm good with the scatter gun so I'm good with all the other weapons for Scout." because that's where you're wrong.
2. learning your playstyle
One of the biggest things about TF2 is it allows you freedom to play the game the way you want. So you can either be bum rush Scout and head straight in probably dieing, or you can play a stealth version of the class, using hiding spots to suprise your enemy and taking them down before they learn of your exictence. Remember everyone plays differently so experiment and find what works for you.
3. Aiming
Aiming is really important and is really hard to master when it comes to the Scout. As you are moving faster than most classes you need to be on your toes (not literally) while running through the battle field as an enemy can show up at any moment and kill you. You need to be ready to quickly shoot that enemy before they see you come around that corner. A helpful tip, getting close helps as shooting someone at close range with a shotgun type weapon, you will do something the TF2 pros call a meat shot where all your shotgun pellets will hit your target causing about one hundred and two damage, and while it may not seem a lot on paper, trust me it will help with classes like the Heavy, Soldier, and Pyro.
4. Don't let them get to you
I said it in my sniper tutorial and I'll say it in all of my class tutorials, people are jerks on the internet and you will run into those types of people, so when you do don't let them get under your skin. If you get angry and focus on trying to kill them, you wont focus on what matters which is winning the game. Remeber the next time someone says "WOW YOU SUCK ♥♥♥ GO BACK TO COD!" just ignore it, it'll help in the long "run" (get it, cause the Scout runs, I'll go drink my healthy dose of bleach now.)
5. Don't hack
Hacking never did work and it never will. Sure it's an easy way to get kills and seem good but it can backfire, causing your computer to slow down, have ads pop up, and get viruses. Worse some of those viruses can get your personal info leaked on the internet for all those people searching for young men and women to ruin. Just don't do it don't use a computers skills, use your skills.
6. Have fun
Seriously have fun with the game, if you're not having fun what's the point of you playing in the first place. I also said in my sniper tutorial that if you aren't having fun with that class try others. Not all people are good at one class, we have our own strengths and weaknesses, find a class that you fit in, or your main class. Have fun scouting
