No, it's not going to get better. The new players are going to complain that the skilled players "hax" and cheat and get the good players banned.

Given that almost no server owners fall into the 'new player' category, I think your statement is at best a serious over-generalization. The few servers where moronic admins would ban someone based on hearsay and all-caps-laden accusations are not servers you want to play on anyways. 

Moreover, I can all but guarantee that things will improve over time. Just at the moment, everybody out there is trying out TF2 for the first time. As time passes, some of these players will leave; the players that don't leave will, inevitably, improve. And, as with everything, the influx of new players will peter out after a month or two, leaving us yet again with a stable userbase of more-or-less competent players.

[MrWiggles]

I never understood the hate on newbs.

Srsly, we all sucked at one time.

How you get better is by playing.

Maybe instead bitching, provide pointers?

And if they're douches. Then fucking rape them.

[The Scout]

I'm receiving waves after wave of snipers. They may have twitch skills from other games, they still can't hit a scout.
The new people are getting less leet. It's nice to have new people, instead of the all the demo knights everywhere, with 150 kills in one life.

[Jackrabbit]

The only place I've seen demoknights be really consistently successful is medieval maps, but maybe that's because it's me that's really consistently successful, when I'm on the defense. You can rack up an obscene amount of kills on the final cap if you've got the katana, or someone on your team threw a milk, because every time you hit/kill someone you get health and you can go through them like a lawnmower.

[Thexor]

Oh, no, on Medieval Demoknights are gods. The only possible competition is a KGB Heavy who gets a lucky crit kill early on, or possibly a really good Sniper.

Seriously: the Katana fully heals you after every kill. The only 'drawback' is instakill vulnerability... and if you're any good with melee, enemy Katana users are just a free full health kit waiting to be grabbed. 

Throw in a shield on top (even better, the new shield and boots!), and you've got a god walking around poorly-equipped, squishy mortals.

Sorry, Thexor, but when it comes to being a knight, none can compete with the Painknight.

The Pain Train crits a hilarious amount, so I often end up critting literally everybody on the point.

The Pain Train doesn't have a higher chance at critting, unless I missed an update or something. The Pain train sucks because the additional capture rate isn't need, and you take more bullet damage.

[Jackrabbit]

I do love demoknight, because whilst I'm awful at it, I'm far worse with sticky launchers and it's less frustrating to die as one, because I just zipped across the map and bounced off a heavy with a Brass Beast, how is that not hilarious.

Also, last I checked, "bullet damage" equals "melee damage". The Pain Train has the standard crit chance (no bonus there), and causes you to take 10% more damage from almost every attack in Medieval Mode, in exchange for a doubled capture rate.

So, no. Demoknight FTW. 

[The Scout]

Soldier with Buff Banner and katana. Got enough health to avoid 1-hit kill, and can regain health. Once you kill enough people, just activate the buff and watch you and your team mow through them.

Hah, I should take a video for you guys, then. You'd be suprised at how much it seems like the thing crits.

I never even notice the damage increase, be it from bullet or melee, anyways. I'm normally one-shotted or on fire half the  time anyways

[Duke 2.0]

 Yeah, melee attacks will usually kill in less than three hits. 10% ain't gonna make a difference. Go pain train it up no worse than anything else.

 I will vouch for the new sword over the Katana though. Dash everywhere and heal because dropped melee weapons are not picked up by other melee users.

How to Train your Noobs/Newbs...
MAJOR POINT : WEAR AN EPIC LOOKING HAT!!! It says you know what your doing...

Step one. Pick Engineer
Step two. Build Teleport Entrances at the start paths they SHOULD NOT BE TAKING, Noobs will instinctavily use Teleporters. Naturally Build the exit where they should go.
Step three. Build the Dispenser. Chances are no one is going medic, its up to you to heal.
Step four. Build Sentry
Step five. Now that your set up, COACH Them via voice chat or text chat, sometimes you will be having "I can do it myself" folk who still fail but ignore them...

[Cthulhu]

Sometimes I just can't kill a single guy to save my life no matter what class I play.

I fucking hate that.
