The Soldier and Demoman are best-off, so logically the Engineer is going to be next as there are ways to help him out and offer new playstyles. Chances are it'll be Demoman alongside him to curb the release day flood.
Team stacking is when most of the players of considerable skill are on the same team. Its not really always intentional, auto-assign tends to throw the dice that way a lot because people connect in the same order roughly.
And you can switch teams by hitting the period key by default I think
Asiina is playing heavy and killing everything in sight.
Pretentious sees this as a challenge and declares he will kill many more people than Asiina as a Heavy.
Both line up on opposite sides of the fight. I am the only Medic and have an uber ready.
What do I do?????
I actually went and ubered Engineer Ginger instead.
Also, top ten reasons why you may be ubered for 0.1 of a second then abandoned to your fate/surprise ubered. This is not at all a gripe, more "Understand the Medic's thought process when they hit that uber button in a panic and didn't have time to tell you"
1) I used the uber to protect myself because everyone is trying to kill me. EVERYONE.
2) I used it to put fire out on everyone
3) I used it to save the medic with a second uber, and thought I would protect you from that flood of arrows/pipebombs/rockets with the last couple of seconds of invulnerability
4) I am trying to keep a crowd of people alive
5) Someone else just wandered into a much more dangerous situation than you, and I think you will be fine
6) Someone else is doing something much more important to the attack than you are (popping sentries etc)
7) My previous uber target exploded about a millisecond before I could hit the button, and you are the nearest combat class.
8) I want to push the enemy backwards, NOW, and if we don't they are going to come back round that corner and lock us in.
9) I thought the situation was much more dangerous than it actually was. On PA servers I use the one second rule, and I will generally try to uber at least one second earlier than is prudent, because I know a volley of pipes/arrows etc is coming flying round that corner.
10) Maybe I screwed up. Shit happens.
Bonus
11) Its late and I don't want to wake up an entire household screaming "Get round that corner and start killing people NOW!"

The lag 'compensation' is a bitch when I see a crit rocket flying at my poor heavy/demo/pyro/[unlucky bastard I won't use precious uber to save :P], and the tuftoo deigns I didn't mash the button in time.

(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
Something just occurred to me-- it's been a long time since I've seen a multiple-person uber on a PA server. Occasionally I'll see one on pubs, but it seems like these days medics try to find a target and stick with him.
It would seem to make more sense to me with the leafblowers around to do a multi-man rush and then be able to run with whoever gets through.

They changed it so that a 2-person uber will drain your ubercharge faster than a one person uber, which limits it's usefulness a little.
I always uber multiple people if there are people around. Usually you can do more with a couple of invincible people than with just one, and the extra seconds rarely matter.
Understand what the hell people are doing when they grind for ubers with rockets/stickies. They are harming themselves en route so you can build up an Uber faster. You big pub dumbasses. No, don't run around the corner with 70% charge, they've got four SGs and three snipers and- dammit.

I pretty much have always played straight spy with a little sniper/engie in there from back in the day.
Last night I tried medic for a bit for the first long period of time, pretty fun.
Is it wrong to uber an engie?
Situation : There was a group of three of engies with dispensers and lvl there sentrys all holed up doing well defending and then a big wave of hatred (the reds) was headed right for us. I didnt want them all to get wiped... not sure what to do other than that?
I am such a frigging noob anew. I stabed a sentry on accident last night. Doh.

Last night as a heavy an ubered medic and soldier completely ran around me. Twice. Apparently completely oblivious to my gun roaring away at them both.

Yeah, if you're a demo or a soldier on the way to the front lines and there's a medic with you you better be self-harming.
Unrelated!
My favourite medic moment was when I started playing on the PA servers and it was Well and we were going after the fourth cap. We had an SG between the double doors to the enemy's base and they used a heavy/medic uber to take down the SG. I had about 12% uber and Edcrab (the heavy) was beginning to blink. I threw myself on his gun so that I'd take the damage instead of the SG. My 150hp bought enough time and the SG survived and Edcrab died! That was a happy moment.
I did that with my heavy last night. I saved the SG from an ubered soldier while the rest of my team were backstabbed and the sentry sapped before the spy snuck off to leave me all alone.
Asiina is playing heavy and killing everything in sight.

He appears to be a pathetic, foul-smelling little man who's only redeeming feature is the large magnum he holds in his right hand. His beady eyes fill you with a vague feeling of disgust and diarrhoea.

It is too late. A [Blue Spy] has buried his knife into your cowardly back. He smiles as you fall to the floor, knowing that he was never on your side.
Last night I obsessively tried to get better with the Ambassador in a 32 man instant respawn server (How I usually fine tune simple skills like headshotting). I did improve and managed to get the two headshot achievements, but I also played around with the Dead Ringer, figuring it would be more useful for an action spy. I found myself not only improving with the ambassador, but with the dead ringer too. Granted it was in a pub, and relied heavily on being able to fool people with disguises, so it may not work at all in the PA servers.
Got my pyro milestone 2 achievement earlier this morning and unlocked the backburner (yay).
But literally 10 minutes after that I unlocked the friggin' thing manually! grr -.-;;
I do that too because he's easier to get to a lot of the time and with enough people he'll go down no matter what.
As a soldier, if i'm getting heals, I'll hit the heavy straight on- four rockets and a shotgun blast will take down a 450 hp heavy.
As a scout, I wait til the fatass has been engaged, and then meatshot his face in with 3 scattershots. If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll engage a fully healed heavy. It's not particularly hard to take them down if you do Dance Dance Double-jump around their faces, most people can't track a scout that jumps over and behind their head and then back in front of their face. A 450hp heavy will go down in 5 scattershots, even if he's being healed at the same time.

And that was a fun game, Morninglord. Playing QuakeLive has definitely given me a better sense of survival and when to use rockets in TF2.
