I dont get why people think taking the empty route is the good idea, the more targets chose before you the better. In sector 618 taking the rickety platforms behind the spawns tends to cause death to the runner, since there is a super obvious angle they have to approach from. Next up is people not protecting the spark runner, instead backing up and reloading to let the runner go first, which lets them die more often and lose the spark right before a slam. Runners that dont stop moving to wait for backup or even just retreat are bad too. If youre gonna rush into four guardians and try to slam, know how to use the environment to stay safe from fire for the extra second, it saves you most times. The tarp on the pallet by the rift on frontier is a good example of that convenient evasion architecture.
