i don't really play scout. stock loadout.

i don't play a lot of soldier. lately i've been trying out a modified version of hybrid trolldier using the air strike instead of the rocket launcher so that i can actually shoot rockets at people if i want to. haven't seen much success with it yet tho, likely due to my aforementioned inexperience with the class.

pyro is the class is technically have the most hours in, although a lot of those hours were from when i was younger and pretty bad at the game. nevertheless, i still play him a lot.

i usually run stock flamethrower (or the nostromo napalmer, in my case. same thing). it's ol' reliable, and it lets you airblast the most of any flamethrower.

for secondary, i switch a lot between the flare gun, panic attack, and thermal thruster, depending on how i'm feeling. i like the thermal thruster a lot but if there are any sentries at all or if the map is just not right for it, it doesn't work whatsoever.

for years, i never touched demoman at all because i thought i just didn't vibe with his kit. then, when i came back to the game a couple years ago, i discovered that i just don't like the stickybomb launcher and i actually really like the grenade launcher. combine that with a sword & shield and it turns out i really fuck with hybrid knight a lot.

the half zatoichi is my sword of choice because i love self healing.

heavy is tied with engineer for my favorite class to play. i overlooked him as a kid because i didn't have the patience or game sense to make effective use of him. nowadays i think the miniguns are very rewarding and i have a developed enough brain to actually know not to run into danger with my gun revved like a moron.

lunchboxes are definitely the better secondaries (i largely prefer the banana over the sandvich because i'm a flanker), but i also have fun with shotguns. the family business feels really good to use. i really wish heavy could either equip a lunchbox AND a shotgun or just had innate self healing like medic.

engineer is tied for heavy for my favorite class to play. it's a lot of fun sometimes to not have to be on the frontline dying all the time.

the jag is my favorite wrench to use since it lets you put up buildings so quickly, but truthfully all of engie's wrenches are great (except the southern hospitality) and i swap them out constantly depending on the game state.

the frontier justice never leaves my primary equip slot tho. two words: GUARANTEED. CRITS.

i don't play a lot of medic. when i do, it's usually stock medigun, and crossbow because its meta and the syringe guns are all sorta trash.

my choice of melee is pretty unimpactful. all i can say is that seeing enemy health is a cool stat, even tho it never makes a difference in my gameplay.

sniper is pretty much just a class i pick to avoid fighting on the frontline when the enemy team is sweating really hard. i'm really terrible at sniping, but it's still fun sometimes (even though he's ASS to play against).

i like using the machina because it does extra damage. the tracer rounds downside seems negligible to me because i feel like the enemy is going to know where i am regardless of if i hit them or not.

also, of course, piss-wacka combo equipped at all times. how could i not?

i'm really bad at spy but he's still fun to try and play as sometimes. i run stock knife and stock invis watch, plus the l'etranger for the extra invis time.
