I don't play as much as I used to (I think...), but here's the problem. Sometimes I play TF2 and I die a lot and stuff and it's really depressing... that I get owned so much. I mean, I understand a lot of people are better than me (on the Valve map server), but this is just ridiculous.
Yesterday I ranked 31 and sometimes I wonder how the FUCK I managed to get so high in the first place. I think the class I'm best at is medic and I guess I don't feel so bad when I play medic, but I've been trying to get my least played classes up to par with my most played classes, so I've been playing those a lot (I stil suck at demoman)... that's when I usually get so pissed off and so demoralized, I guess.
There was a time I thought this server was too much for me, not because people were better than me (I like a challenge), but because my ping is always 140-170ms, which at a certain point I thought was too high and I decided to quit playing on the server. So I set off to find a new server that was closer to home (Netherlands), and I did find a 32 player server with a very low ping (something like 20ms). Having a low ping was really so much better, but in the end it wasn't fun at all. The people on that server were total noobs and I think I may have been the best player on that server (not sure though). Sourceop's Valve maps server is really awesome, and so are the other servers (24/7 2fort). I also deleted a lot of people that were on my friends list that were SourceOP regulars and I still haven't gotten around to re-add them all.
