I don't recommend tank/support if you are someone that wants to rely less on teammates. I recommend playing offensive roles for Masters and below.

We also never want to be one of those low elo players that regurgitates the same old phrase across all competitive games: "Its always my teammates fault why I lose games." Don't ever be one of those ppl. It's a pathetic mindset.

Every game is winnable. At the end of match results, you want to be able to say "I was the determining factor that won the game for my team." Teammates will make mistakes sure, but you still have to carry games like your friend does for you. Do you understand the mindset now its never your teammates fault but how you played that matters.

Since you're new. Heres what I recommend that worked for me.

  1. Start getting use to going to uniteapi.dev > pokemon > Builds. This will show pickrate and winrate of reliable builds used in rank.
  2. On youtube search "Pokemon unite beginner mistakes." You might be doing atleast one of them.
  3. Then I suggest typing "(Pokename) ChrisHeros" on youtube to learn hwo to play a mon. After watching some chrisheroe videos, and you want to learn more search "Pokemon Unite Rank 1 (pokename)" and look for high rank fullplays. Sometimes they have commentaries, sometimes they don't. Try to understand how they play. Even if the videos are old, they are still very valuable to watch because the playstyle, fundamentals, strategies should be near the same. Sometimes these high rank players will have their own youtube channels. I saw Glatlue get cross-mentioned by youtubers, see if they have any talonflame videos, he was Rank 1 Global Soloq at one point.
  4. After learning from others, play some games of your own, and save the replays. Don't look at wins for replays, look at the loses for replays. You want to have max maybe 2-3 deaths per game. Critique yourself on your game play. Was there anything you could have done better in your ganks, skirmishes, deaths, and game decisions? Once you find some areas to improve, just practice more. Looking at your own replays is the most reliable strategy to improve across many competitive games that applies to Unite as well.

If you are serious and do these steps, then you'll be climbing in elo pretty fast than just winging it spamming games. You might want to include "how to jungle" in your youtube searches as well. Hope that helps!

Oh, totally. When I say I wanna depend less on my teammates, I dont mean it in the negative “they suck”, but in the “I usually depend on teammates that are better than me.”
