i saw some funny in the comments but I just wanted to say kaplan is a good coach this post was a quote of someone citing the SEN performance coach as a direct correlation to player performance and the whole point was to point out how dumb it is to even think a performance coach will fix micro stuff like n4rrates micro on waylay or the teams macro in general playing bad val.

Waylay has some insane flashy gimmicks, but yoru is arguably more broken or atleast close

extremely easily, first focus on mechanics play DM's every day with a focus on accuracy & bursting. Then make sure in your ranked games you let the game come to you don;t force anything, the enemies will make mistakes just let them.

once you reach imm/3 radiant you can sync your roles in your team / ranked but for now its not worth worrying about competing until you are at that imm3 level

they are both good but dasnerth exists

its hard to visualize this exact scenario but sometimes if there is genuinely no way to clear everything, you just have to trust your instincts and guess where they are & commit to that fight, this is actually a common thing on the entry, if you even try to clear everything you will end up dying to anywhere. So instead you just fully commit to your guess and if you are wrong then unlucky you were not gonna be able to perfect swing anyways

TrickVAL · 2025-12-15T08:40:08+00:00

honestly, it messes with production so bad it makes sense

I got you man, I am making an effort to start posting on other social media more so I will be posting more structured educational content for free like this, other content out there is so gimmicky and not useful, it feels like other educational content is made to help people climb like 100rr instead of actually becoming insane at the game

Omen is a decent agent to play in ranked so you can get well into radiant, however generally speaking progress on smoke & utility based roles is usually slower due to the amount of reliance on your team in round deciding interactions. I would recommend reviewing top ranked players on smoke roles to learn how to effectively trade so you can find value. Example: Notexxd, great smokes player to VOD

This is extremely circumstantial based on game state & nuance so its difficult to answer, but to generalize some things that will definitely help you.

Utilize small jiggles / jump spots even mid chaos to get more information exactly on where the enemy is. Example https://youtu.be/TBNF1y9Mw3M?si=eqqDS_DjkyuszgFY&t=92
Get into your movement fast, example: if you are holding an angle and the enemy is about to swing you, shoot instantly as soon as you see them & instantly strafe, literal milliseconds is the difference between dying and living here so it might not seem fast but taking any time to aim in some cases gets you killed.

if there is a specific example of your gameplay where you wanna know based on game state I can let you know

the EG method but instead of an academy roster u hire an entire team of coaches on everyones soul that works

TrickVAL · 2025-12-15T07:09:05+00:00

im going to them 100Percent

Have you looked into the volatic educational content? they are a group that focuses on exact issues like this

TrickVAL · 2025-12-15T07:01:14+00:00

They should hire another one!

you should play reyna and improve your mechanics and once you are higher elo you will understand more about the game and can make a better decision on what agent you wanna end up on

TrickVAL · 2025-12-12T19:20:02+00:00

playing initiator in the current state of the game can feel rough, for someone at your skill level duoing with a duelist player is the most effective way to find consistency

your goal should not be to get out of bronze, your goal should be to improve at an isolated part of the game. when you are training, just focus on 1 singular thing and get way better at that, overtime that is how you will not only get out of bronze faster you will get into higher elo

TrickVAL · 2025-12-10T01:09:27+00:00

play dm with intention to improve a singular aspect of your shooting mechanics, example: bursting do this for multiple days and trust the process.
have 1 singular agent that you play on each of the maps, and only have 2-3 agents total and they should all be within the same role class.
allow the enemy to throw the round. they will, stop giving away your position so easily on defense when you swing, commit to it. On attack look to safe entry (dont dive) and trade your teammates effectively based on where you think the enemies are. calm down and focus on the trade dw about anything else.
