Yeah, I like the FJ because it looks cool and I have a vintage one so it makes me feel good when I use it but I think I've gotten like...  one kill total off of revenge crits.  Ever.

Really? That's quite surprising, revenge crits will one shot a spy, severely damage pyros, scouts and snipers and pose a massive threat to everything else. Especially if they've just been fighting your sentry

[Soulwynd]

Do people actually use coach mode? I've never touched it myself.

The server I usually play in doesn't allow spec mode.

I don't think people bother with it anymore anyway.

The nice thing to do with revenge crits is to grab a friendly medic with an uber and charge right up the middle of their base. If you time it right and other members of your team are supporting you, you can break through their lines and throw down a teleport exit to let your team flank them, or get a sentry up deep inside their territory.

[The Doctor]

A more controlled yet expensive way is two medics, one with kritz and one with the stock uber, and they both charge the same guy.

I'd be up for a mass coaching session as an experienced player, like Darvi said. We should really get something like that organized.

Well, I have almost 1000hrs in it, so I can share a few hints.

As long as the server isn't euro or west coast.

This. Otherwise my ping skyrockets to 900 and I disconnect.

I might actually be able to host, as long as the server would only be up for a day or two. I have some experience making team fortress 2 servers, but I'd have to host the server from my own computer. I do live in Michigan, by the way, so it should be all right for most of the USA ping-wise. My friend from Chicago gets about 45 ping, so I think it would work.

I've decided I'm going to practice my scout combat by playing single player on expert mode.  I figure if I can dodge grenades and rockets from unreal aimbots at close range I can handle anything a human can throw at me.

My first trial went pretty well.  I got 7 kills and 2 deaths in the first round, which is way better than I usually do as scout.  Then again it was Nucleus which is a really scout friendly map from what I've seen.  Scouts can just blitz along those rings, vaporize an unsuspecting pocket medic or whatever, and be gone before anyone knows what happened.

[The Scout]

...I'm sucking today. I play with the bots on Nucleus, and the demoman just murder me. Second I seeo ne, he turns around, and fires a crit nade at me. I can be halfway across the map, and he'll hit me. Adn the snipers... Bloody snipers.

Yeah. Bots tend to be amazingly accurate.

[mr. macduggan]

Honestly, now that the update is out, hitting up a server of a "reccomended for all skill levels" rating is far better practice than bots. About 60% of the new players are as new as you are, and you learn the psychology.
that is, if you are new. I sort of assumed you were. If you aren't, the same still holds.

Has anyone noticed that Heavies kinda rule on Arena servers? I mean, I'd consider myself average, and I topped that server on every map.
Seriously, it kinda stopped being fun after I had like 30 kills with 4 or so deaths. And being the 1st MVP every round.

[Duke 2.0]

 Heavies sorta do that. They dominate scores.

[FunctionZero]

Heavies sorta do that. They dominate scores.

I dunno. On other modes they aren't nearly that good, and need a doctor behind to really be 100% efficient.
Here, I could go without a medic and still roleplay a lawnmower.
