Is it better to play more passive or aggressive on each side? I’m just really confused right now because I always get stomped when I was stomping

I got tagged up by Brim then died to brushing against Phoenix's molly. Except apparently it was a headshot and it did 122 damage. https://imgur.com/a/hICViWo Can anyone explain that?

Like do you just stop playing or what. Like ig u could grind for rank 1 but isnt that like rlly hard and exteremly time consuming?
