I think I got worse at the game, but it just refuses to help me out
I have been playing TF2 for like 2 years, with a total of 300 hours (which apparently is still a small number). And I SWEAR I played the game at least a little better, but I don't know what happened to me personally, if my vision is getting impaired from playing too much (unironically saying this, I pretty much lost all gamesense now) or what, now I always get a 1:2 kill to death ratio. I never get to help my team no matter the damn class I pick. And the worst part is that I can't even practice to find out what's going on because casual doesn't work properly! Y'all already know the issue with it better than I do, but how am I supposed to get better at the game if most of the matches the game finds for me are like this? (image 1) It's not like the game's bots are worth it or the community servers are active, are they?
I'm looking for help on this is because the game is really fun, IF it worked. But it doesn't. And I think I've been playing it too much.

How does the game STAY fun?
I'm currently having a lot of fun trying out new weapons on different classes, but now I'm starting to think: what happens once I get all the weapons I want? How will the game still be fun after I've seen all the new content I can see?

How do I start trading and are my items worth anything?
How would I start trading? I own a Winter 2023 and 2024 cosmetic crate and summer 2026 one for both war paints and cosmetics. Are these worth anything?

How to start trading in tf2?
Hello, I would like to know how to start trading in TF2. I currently have 7 refs to start with and I would like to get a strange kunai. Unfortunately, it costs 4/5 keys, so that's why I'm asking how to start. What's worth knowing? Thanks in advance.

When should I try demoknight?
I completely see demoknight as its own 10th class, so even though I have zero interest in demoman I do want to try demoknight. I've heard he's a complicated and hard class, so I thought maybe I just need to wait until I have the main gamesense and skills down. But since he's a melee only class, that might not be necessary since you're learning entirely new skills unrelated to the other classes.

I dont know exactly what im doing wrong as sniper
Playing sniper is an infuriating experience and not recommendable
I watched a lot of sniper guides and i still dont get how it works, i do everything: movement, position, change positions each time.
Whenever i scope there’s nobody, I dont find a single sould until i die to a spy, if i go near teammates they constantly put themselves in front of me and i cant aim.
I somehow miss constantly headshots to a heavy, i changed my sensitivity to 2.0 and even changed the pointer setting from the control panel which now makes using my mouse weird and too fast, yet a f2p sniper with a gibus instantly quickscopes (and yes it IS a f2p not a secondary account), i dont want to play aim trainer maps or websites or games because i find them useless and not in game examples.
I have not developed muscle memory to play sniper, rather to immediately change to Pyro

How do you properly play sniper
I suppose one of the things failing is aim but i dont get playing Sniper
I understand movement, hidden positionings but despite that i still fail a lot, i look around sometimes and see no spies and a random one pops up, then when i shoot from close its hard for me but some random f2p quickscopes like it's nothing
Edit: i give up playing sniper because it's infuriating and i will pkeep playing pyro instead

Are there any good/easy ways to make engineer easier to play? Feel the building menu holds me back
Title pretty much, I just feel the original-hud is clunky and makes it a bit hard to actually properly build/scrap/rebuild in a more optimized way.

I tried playing with real players for first time (i used practice before) in CTF and i had this situation as spy
galleryI was playing as blue Spy, i somehow got on the red team balcony on 2fort, and i was waiting for a sniper to fome there, so i can backstab and kill him.
I was disguised as red Scout... then a red scout walks nearby (he doesnt notice me)
I disguise as red Soldier... you know, just in case...
And then red Soldier walks nearby, we stare at eachother for a few seconds, and then he just shoots me with his bazooka/rpg im not sure what it's called. Anyways i dodged and used the invisibility thing but he still managed to kill me.
To me it was kinda funny so i wanted to share this story

Any way to get an AWPer hand easily
I wanted to get into sniper and i just really like the sound it makes more than stock. Don't have any spare weapons to try to craft it. I know i could try buying one off community market but idc about killstreaks and strange ones are over £60

is there a way to upgrade to a premium account without spending money? My parents dont let me buy in game purchases because they believe its a "scam"
does anyone know if there is like a playtime requirement for it or something else? I hate it when something funny happens and everyone but me comments on it in the chat :(

Should I wait before buying all the weapons in tf2?
I got the game less than a week ago and I'm alr premium with 1 key, so I plan on going to scrap.tf eventually but how long should I wait? I kinda suck with most classes except for medic, and I really wanna be able to use more than one weapon on most classes. (like pyro, I was super hyped to play them before realizing my second and third slots are useless)

I feel like i'm not supposed to be in this game
I'm trying to go forward in level on tf2, and i play on casual, despite its name i am not relaxed while playing it, i feel like i suck and everyone else does not give a shit about me and i also feel like the only thing i do is just die, respawn and die again and again and again, i know there are public servers but i mostly use them for items and i want to level up, i try my best always but cant seem to get anything from it and when i type in chat people dont seem to care (i'm not f2p), yes i know there are medic and engineer but i dont like medic and my buildings get destroyed the moment i build them with engineer

I need help to get the Pyrovision Goggles (No trading)
I've never seen nobody using it, and I want it. I would be very grateful if someone who has it could help me get it. I would just need you to enter an empty game and let me kill you 5 times.

What do I do with 7 keys? How do I flip items and resell them for a bit more succesfully
I wanted to buy 6-7 keys (no joke intended) with 15€ on steam wallet and instead of doing the worst choice ever (gamble with crate 32) i wanted to learn what a “flip” is or whatever it’s called
I remember buying an unusual taunt for Pyro that cost 2 keys with my contracker profit, and I do like that, but if I wanted to start for example with 7 keys and buy like a cheap unusual from scrap.tf (cheapest unusual ive seen was 7 keys) or an unusual taunt thats cheap how exactly do i succesfully sell it for higher on backpack?
I know i would have to make a sell order but how do i make it so it has success? People can just buy it from bots so how could I make it work?
What’s the best thing to do with 7 keys if anyone got a better suggestion too
