SoloQ Commandments to increase %wr:
- dont push alone against an eco, play long range to punish pistols
- dont buy a Vandal/Phan on round2 unless you have full shield as well. Always have a teammate next to you for him to pick it up
- after death insantly comm where is the opponent and how much dmg you did, swear to yourself afterwards, keep the anger to yourself
- If you are a duelist, you need be the frontline. communicate you are pushing site so you can be traded.
- If you are a Jett player that doesnt dash to site on attack and you are just hiding with an OP - you are doing it wrong. Please consider using a different agent. Its fine on defense but not on attack.
- If you are not a duelist, YOU NEED to follow the duelist when they enter the site. If you dont trade them, its a wasted execute and you are playing the game incorrectly.
- DONT BE AFRAID OF TAKING DAMAGE OR DYING! Sometimes pushing through a smoke and molly is a correct decision if your teammates need help. You wont win the round if half of the team is dead and werent traded!
- Learn to use proper smokes even if you dont play smokes. Link to my guide in comments.
- Dont relay on postplant lineups! Your team most likely needs you more on site to fight then to sit passively. Use your util to push people off and buy time.
- Communicate with the team to always have the same approach when it comes to buys: full buy, half buy, full eco, force!
- If you have an advantage in defense, dont push! Play default and let attackers do their job.
- 4v4, 3v3 2v2 is an advantage towards attackers! Thats when you want to combine numbers and punish one site!
- Wait for your defender teammates when retaking site. Dont allow yourself to get killed without a follow up/trade.
- Dont use your utility if you have no intent/reason to. Always think what you gain from it.
- Always be close to your teammate so you trade him insantly! If it takes 2 seconds for you to avenge someone - you are a baiter.
- If you lurk, wait for the team to execute. If you push before that, that means you are attacking alone which is essentially inting/griefing your team. Your task is to catch opponents rotations and gain map control!
- BE PATIENT! You can occasionaly push on defense but it shouldnt be your routine! Dont grief your team by constantly pushing the same angles.
I posted this on twitter if someone would like to share

I will be also doing a series on my youtube about fundamentals of SoloQ because as I see on twitter, there a lot interest in those basica.

What's with all of the rush defenses recently?
In my Gold/plat/silver lobbies last act there were several games where the defense was rushing the attacking team from every angle and it felt like the roles were reversed. Was this some kind of new meta or just popular due to a content cre...
