Lowkey, I did a few lower ELO games with an IRL buddy. and most strats are very simple which isn't the issue. People are playing this game like COD. Run in throw some flashes and try to frag out. Hell silver? yall can frag I admit it. But no one uses there brain. its a simple 1-2 Connection and if it doesn't work just pull out the knife and rotate. I am not here to tell you how to be a decent human in Coms lol your mom is to do that.

Im not knocking just trying to help. If you wanna play the run and gun style as Reyna that is fine I have no issues with it. But if there are people trying to push and get out of that hard stuck rank. you got to learn the in's and outs of the game.

1. Feel out the round

Feel it out literally. See what Util is being used. See where you are with your team. Do you have control of long and sewers? Ok are you guys swinging at the same time? is heaven smoked? CT smoked? is the UTIL being used a lot? Sova darts. Omen Smokes. KJ or cages popping. Just focus on what is going on around you and get a read of what is happening. is your backline lurking? Wait until he picks or get picked to make a choice. You can't just blind zerg in and hope to go 13-0 (unless smurfing)

If you understand the Intel that you are your team are getting. you can now set up a play or have a plan to get site. If you STILL don't see a way into site. Rotate. This is where your Backline should start Re-clearing everything for you. He should be in Mid while you guys are still sitting long/sews. if the plan is to rotate he can clear Mid/Garage. and get some picks on them rotating while you run to C.

2. Use your time.

Use the full extent of your time if you have to. If nothing is popping up.. Don't freak out. just because a plan doesn't work the first 20 seconds doesn't mean you have to zugg something, keep composed and they might make a mistake you can jump on. You need to find the hole to poke. Is B site clear? is C? or is A clearing up? you don't need to straight up storm quickly down Long and out frag them. Sometimes sure, but most times? Play smart, clear your area of the map use your time.

3. Never swing alone.

Odd time I'll call out an EGO peak cause my shot feels good and if it works great if not. well bummer. But what I mean is, If you are going into an area you don't know. Mainly a Site... NEVER go alone. If I am a Duelist I have never had a problem entering a site first and dying. I ALWAYS had a problem entering alone and dying for nothing.

someone 2-3 people even, if you are deciding to enter. Go with the duelest or your front line. MAKE SURE you are trading, that is your job. Duelist is trying to frag 1 or 2 kills if he does dope. but you need to be in a position where if you die that kill is getting traded.

4. Hold your Angles/Give your Info.

This one is like a two part one. This is when the round kicked off and its a fresh round. Or you have a fresh site and are on the Post plant game.

Pretty simple, LOOK at your mini map! see where and what is placed. Are your angles covered? if there is an Open on is it supposed to be open or is that your area? like I said Post plan or pre round. this is what you should be doing. having 2 people hold long doesn't do much when then can walk through spawn and slap you in elbow right?

Give your info - this is honestly. the second biggest thing on the list to me. if you die. Tell me where/when and if he is weak and who it was. your team NEEDS to know. I've seen SOOO many 1vX's that could be clutched. Even in silver, if the guy had the proper info... he'd clutch it.

5. Look at ULTS

Super Simple, Look at ults. if you see a KJ ult or brim ult. you know that is going to be a bitch of a retake specially when brim just ULTS bomb? or KJ just Ults site? so try baiting them or realize you need to go fast onto site cause they have the ULT right? Just a simple peak to make you aware of where you are at.

6. Don't be afraid to give up site.

another simple one. If you peak and see 3-4 guys. if you want to re peak that is your idea. but sometimes ill toss some UTIL slow them down to get some rotation and backup then just back off site. Give them short. you at least know where they are and can play around that right? the longer you stay alive the more of a pain in the ass you are to the team.

Example - I played KJ on a bind. they storm into Hooka/long. almost kill one with turret/nades/peaks. I get seen but I go back off elbow. I am smoked out but I just sit and wait. I have control of elbow and spawn. Wait for rotate and simple retake. if I just ego peaked and killed hooka and died. it was a free site and a hard retake. Just don't be afraid to back off a gunfight. take the fights YOU KNOW you will win.

​

Its funny, because well. EVERYTHING I listed can be done without Coms. if you are a mute. you can do every single one of these. even give the info. Pinging/typing ETC to let your boys know. this game isn't hard to understand. but has a high skill ceiling so if you learn the Maps/Agents great. but youll go so much further if you know how to learn each game as its own.

Goodluck :P
