In this thread we talk about some of our embarrassing shortcomings and misunderstandings we had as little baby clones fresh out of the vat.

When I was starting out I had no clue what scanning was. At first I was just really annoyed by it, because I had no idea what it meant but it was popping up constantly. YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED. It would even stay on the screen while I was dead, which made it impossible to tell where someone with a needle was. A month or two down the line I finally drew the connection that, maybe, since I kept dying soon after being scanned, perhaps that meant someone had me in line of sight and was preparing to fire. Every match after that, whenever I got scanned, I would immediately duck for cover and start looking all over the place for whoever the hell was lining me up. I never did find whoever was checking out my ass, unfortunately. I did learn situational awareness and to use my peripheral vision very quickly in my efforts to find the scanner, however.

I remember that stage in my career, too. Exact same thing happened to me. But hey, +5, right?
