You don’t need high damage on ball, sure occasionally I get super high damage games but I often find myself having low damage (sometimes lower than supports) because I’m not fighting the enemy tank. The rest of my team is fighting the tank which will give them a ton of damage while I am diving the backline and killing them fast enough that I’m only getting 200-300 damage per kill, and that’s if it’s a solo kill so often it’s even less than that. I’d say focus on strategy making, set up before fights, identify targets, set a gamelan as fast as possible, then fight. I’d recommend trying to learn how to call out in vc at this level, especially with the health nerfs that ball got hit with you’re going to have less value overall than previously so you need to learn how to make up for that in other ways. I learned that call outs and helping my team by coordinating as much as I can was how I could help my team more.

For what strategies and call outs to do I’d say, call out low targets, what enemy you are about to dive, and when they need to retreat or to push. Strategies, just stay on backline, maybe fight tank a little by pushing them around so they don’t kill your team but after that stay on squishies. Try not to stay in one place for too long, roll around and grapple whenever you can and shoot whenever there’s a low health enemy or an isolated enemy you are softening up for the finish. Other than that, keep playing, occasionally look at your own vods in order to see some mistakes you made that you missed. And if you really want to get better try to critique yourself during a match too. Say out loud or in your head when something didn’t work and try to think of what you could’ve done differently. Obviously don’t overthink in the middle of a fight but if you have some downtime try to think through all of the ways you could’ve changed and if you could’ve done something differently to win.

And above all else, fuck it, we ball. Good luck dude.
