How do I teach Noobs?

Lol OP why do you even play this? To show off how good you are? Against goddamn newbies?

Try playing Urban Terror. It's much more n00b friendly and they won't have to deal with a ton of weapons, runes, etc etc.. Plus they have some great CTF maps..

If they're really that bad, it will take them 2 games to find their proper tier.

Who knows, maybe that will be more fun for them than playing with you? :)

Adjust handicap until it's more challenging for you than how it is for them, so you will be the one who will need to improve to win.

Yep - use handicap. They'll battle each other at a fairly even level, while you do 10% of the damage. Keeps it entertaining. As they see you strafe around at 600 ups and LG and rail at 60%, eventually they'll realize it'd be fun to be better.

I've played with HC against my 10 year old son and had a some close competitive duels.
