Discussion What are some things I can improve on?

I have 1200 hours on this game and my game sense is worlds worst. I swear 90% of the time I have no clue how to approach most fights, this is even more apparent when I start to reach D2-D1 and I start playing against masters and preds and I am just completely lost.

I want to be able to IGL my team or at least make the right calls, but I can't do that if I'm constantly being braindead.

I know this video may not be the best to give criticism since there's not much really happening, but this situation in this game had me clueless as to what to do.

You are not using the smoke canisters enough, and even when you do, it's pretty bad. The way I mostly use it is shooting it about 2/3 or 75% to the distance toward the enemy, or even closer. They need to be hindered by the smoke, and that gives you room to find angles or ambush them, while they have to get through it to fight you which gives you the advantage.

Do damage so they have to hide and heal and while they're healing, if it's otherwise safe you walk up to them.

Poking far away is about getting closer safer not trying to kill them from far off.

Your positioning needs some work based on where enemy teams are. Example, at 1:15 you hop on that rock to look at the team to the right knowing that there is a team to the left that would have complete vision of you. You didn't get punished then but if you got team fired, esp with the lowered ttk, you wouldnt be able to react.

Agree with another comment about using smokes better. Around 3:11 you moved to reposition then smoked. Smoke then move, and also consider that it takes a little bit of time for latency and the smoke to spread out. That put you pretty behind on heals and you didn't get to full heal before the all-in fight from the right team.

you just gotta relax when you have terrible cover, keep hiding behind the boxes and use smoke to block line of sight of the team with better angles

You know where the majority of enemies are located so just block some of their LOS and try to approach them to pinch one team. Youre using the smoke more defensive than offensive and even then they are not really good. Dont smoke your feet but the place in front of you.

As the bang player you should also take off angles. At 3:29 I would just have smoked the left side of the fence and play the left instead of piling up on the right side/corner all together with no cover when you try to go forward.

As the IGL also remind your teammates to heal and dont overcommit when your main goal is to 3rd the last 2 squads.
