    1. When someone new thinks your hacking because your "good". I'm like :/
    2. When you targeted by a nub right when you get out of spawn after losing your best Ks
    3. Why do engineers take skill according to nubs, I think you just place 4 things down and then piss off all the good peeps because they know how bad engineer is.

    As a professional freeday engineer main, I am startled by your lack of knowledge. To play engineer effectively, you need to be extremely intellectual and strategic, and you must know all the ins and outs of every map. You must also know how to effectively counter classes that try to attack your engi nest.

    With the nerf that hit engi a while ago, the most popular engi tactic was made obsolete: AFKing. Now, the amount of effective, objectively playing engineers are limited to a select, skilful few.

    An engineer turreNt is useless if you don't know the map well. It needs to be placed in a key location so that teammates would want to teleport in, with enough enemies walking through that your turreNt affects the enemy offence significantly. Of course, I don't expect every new player to know how to find the ideal engi nest spot, as it requires finding the middle of a map, and counting other players.

    Another thing you have to be mindful of is headshots. Archers will always try to shoot you, and if you are stationary or too close to your turreNt, you will get headshotted and lose your hard-earned 23 killstreak. You need to develop strategies to counter this cheap insta-kill method of killing you, such as pressing "W", "A", "S" or "D" in a random order to counter the spray-n-pray, or hiding behind an object.

    You also have to be mindful of your turreNt's health and wellbeing. Engineer was nerfed really hard last update, and now you have to make sure you repair your turreNt. You can no longer hide and let your turreNt do all the work: you must now actively pop out of your hiding spot for all of two seconds and repair the turreNt. This leaves you horrifyingly vulnerable to enemy attackers, which brings me to my next point.

    Enemies will always target your engi nest: most notably the noob instakill classes that require no skill. You must learn to effectively counter these enemies to ensure you survive. If an assassin is running at you, you must master the tactic of running backwards and blocking with your sword if they get too close. However, blocking also disables your turreNt: another massive disadvantage to the already easily-counterable class. Pyros can also break your turreNt with their axe or instakill you, so you must be able to spamclick your cake in order to survive the pyro fire, and have the patience to wait for someone else to teleport in to your engi nest as cannon fodder while you repair/rebuild your turreNt.

    Occasionally, other classes will come in and try to attack you. If you have teammates around, it is important that you hide behind them and let them die before you do, or run around and spam click your cake while your turreNt deals big damage. You need to be very skilled, as engineer is a weak PVP class that can only hit an enemy 7-10 blocks back in a couple of hits with its pickaxe.

    Finally, you must master the art of alternating between manual and automatic control. True master engineers use their manual control once in a while to demonstrate their dead-centre aim, but know to switch back to the automatic as soon as an enemy enters 1000 blocks of their turreNt.

    All in all, you can see the sheer amount of skill and game theory that goes into playing engineer. Please consider these before making any further rash comments about the most skilled class in CTF.

    Sincerely,
    Engi mains of CTF Free Friday

    Also, you messed up your title. It should be "Most annyong thing in CTF". Not "think".

    I believe you can edit your title. At the top of the thread, there should be an arrow called 'Thread tools' and then 'Edit title'. Correct me if I'm wrong.p, that's just from what I remember.
