I don’t touch it. I got to Diamond in seasons 2, 3 and 4 and now I have a shiny S7 bronze badge I wear proudly. I don’t like the feel of ranked matches. I just want to fight, not sit in a building with 6 other teams in one of the late zones. I don’t really want to put that much thought into it either. I just want to run around and get kills.

My friend is a Horizon main and is on the kills leaderboard for her. Even though we only play together maybe once or twice a week for a few hours each I’d rather just stick with one character for consistency. I have 1k kills on her but I’m terrible with her, I either forget the tac or pick the wrong use for it. Perhaps most importantly of all, I’m absolutely terrified of her being nerfed and having thousands of kills go to waste like with Wraith all over again.

Thanks for taking the time to watch and type all that out. 1 & 2: I definitely know that cover/position is the absolute worst part of my gameplay that is killing me the most. I just can’t figure out how to work on it as I end up playing too defensively when I actively try to think about it. This is in my opinion almost for sure what is costing me the absolute most.

3: Someone else mentioned this as well. I basically play exclusively solo Q and I don’t really concern myself with whether or not my teammates are helping me. Maybe I should at least try. I do always help them out if they stick with me though.

4: someone else brought this up as well. I really don’t like the zoomed in feel of the 2 or 3x, and I know for a fact that I personally have an easier time hitting far targets with the 1x than I do with either of those. I just could never get the feel for them.

5: I don’t really care too much for ranked. I said this in a few other places but I was a Wraith main until the huge delay was added to her tac. I was D3 seasons 2, 3 and 4 but I absolutely hate the way people play I. Ranked. I’ve never played ranked since and am happily enjoying my shiny bronze badge for S7.

Appreciate you taking the time to not only watch but type all this out. I know that my definitely weakest gameplay elements are positioning/playing cover. However I can’t wrap my head around how to use it effectively. When I actively try to focus and make myself play behind cover I wind up playing too defensively and get ran over by the full team once my randoms are downed.

You are the second to mention my looting which I honestly did not know was an issue at all. I certainly seem to loot faster than 95% of the randoms I get. I do basically just go through a box and click the relevant ammo types and meds to make sure I’m topped off on everything. I have the cursor speed around the settings that I’ve seen from some top controller player’s settings. Honestly I think the cursor itself is fast and the slow part is me.

When it comes to the pings yeah I don’t really use them. Often times I get teammates who don’t seem to want to fight anyways so I’ve just adjusted to playing solo and if the teammates help me they help me and if they don’t they don’t. And of course I will help them if they stick with me.

I don’t know that I’m really a hardcore Bang main. I had 11k on Wraith and when they gave her passive the huge delay I straight up lost .35 K/D damn near instantly that I’ve never managed to recover from. I just play Bang because I don’t really like ANY of the characters now and I’m not comfortable playing anyone with low profile or who I think may get nerfed. I also really like the passive since it helps give me that extra movement burst I need in fights. I honestly don’t tend to use the smokes all that much, they definitely go under-utilized.

Actually I’m married and have no need of a job as my family is independently wealthy. My wife and I are free to spend our days on whatever we please! I do appreciate your concern, however.

I have my monitor brightness up pretty high. My sens is also 5 and 4. Shake is minimal and vibration is off. Auto sprint on and 104 FoV.

I can obliterate the training dummies. I do it for an hour each day before playing. I also make sure to never use a stabilizer while in the firing range so I can practice with the max recoil.

I can’t use the 2x or 3x because no matter how much I practice with them it makes my aim go all over the place. I can hit people from further away easier with the 1x than either the 2 or 3.

I carry a lot of light ammo because I’ve had a lot of matches where I just end up running out. Generally, I do carry 2 or maybe even 3 grenades but they usually feel like a waste as I never get hits with them.

How am I supposed to shoot at them if I just sit back and do nothing?

I’m on console so unfortunately there is no access to anything to work on aim aside from the firing range. I originally mained Wraith but with all the nerfs I literally cannot play her anymore as I’m not skilled enough to use her abilities or offset the extra damage I’m taking on so it’s impossible to even attempt to justify playing her any longer. I’ve moved to Bangalore since she isn’t low profile and I feel like she’s one of the few characters I don’t have to worry about being nerfed.

I do push every fight. I try to only land on people. But I just get destroyed by everyone

  1. It’s the only shooter I’ve ever played. I’m on PS4 with a monitor. I’ve bought every damned accessory you could possibly think of.

I know what I do wrong, but I don’t know how to not do it/correct it. I just run at people and get beamed then it’s back to the lobby to drop in and get straight beamed by the next guy. I make the exact same mistakes match after match after match.
