So I’ve been trying my best to get better. My goal is to be able to play competitively against champion level players in FFA (or really anything). I just find it way more fun and cool to play pro. The highest I got in a week was plat 4 to onyx ~1750, and in the new season I’m onyx 1525. I find it very difficult to complete at my level. I usually rank higher than 5th but usually don’t get even 2nd. Whenever I go back to watch my gameplay I can’t see what I’m doing wrong. Am I dumb or am I just ignorant to what to look for? I was hoping with this thread I could get some pointers as to what I should look for, and also what I should be doing. Maybe some constructive criticism even.
Don’t make your current goal to get champion, make that your end goal. Your current goal should just be to get better.
You are gold and platinum in other playlists and it looks to me like you are just grinding FFA so that you can say that you are Onyx.
Looking at your used weapons in FFA, it looks like you are relying very heavily on your AR. Try to use your pistol more.
Some things to look for when rewatching your gameplay are. What are you struggling most with? Is it winning gunfights consistently? Getting kills stolen too often? Not timing power ups and controlling power weapons?
If you are loosing most of your gunfights, play octagon (add me and we can play Octo some time)
If you are getting your kills stolen this could be because you don’t choose your engagements well. If you see somebody and you know that you will most likely not get the kill, do not weaken them as that is only helping the enemy.
If you are not getting power ups and power weapons, just remember that power ups come up 2 minutes after they were activated. Also, Br, Carbine, Smg, and lightrifle are power weapons as well as they are upgraded versions of the starting weapons. Shotgun, hydra, and weapons of that sort come up 10 seconds after they run out of ammo.
As I said at the beginning of the post, you seem like you are more of a platinum player than an Onyx player. Do not try to rank high, just try to improve your overall game. Hope this all helped (I still have more tips I can give and didn’t cover EVERYTHING in my post) and ask me if you have any more questions!
Agree with Sacred. when I watch some of the champion FFA on twitch I notice a lot of pistol use. May want to try and use it a bit more.
Remember there is only 200 champion spots open it’s pretty hard to get.
I try, try, and try as hard as I can to get at least platinum or higher and I go 6-4 gamewise in slayer and what do I get ranked? Gold 6. ARE YOU -YOINKING!- KIDDING ME? So, I try and move up to at least platinum 1, and I’m one game away from moving up until my whole team decides to choke and lose. I play 2 more games. What happens? I lose both by a large amount. Annnd, that’s why I stopped playing competitive.
Edit: Sorry for the mild rant. I had to vent for a little bit.

Thx for the tips. This season doesn’t really seem to be my season. But I’ll make it work. I dropped off last season and lost my shot. So now I’m questioning my old 5 sensitivity n switching between 2 n 3.

I would recommend dropping down your sensitivity to anywhere from 2-4. I play on 2 horizontal, 2 vertical, and 2 accel.

So idk what my acceleration should be at but I always have it at 5 for quick turns
Oh and when I go into settings I can’t find vert sens. Where is it.

There should be an option that allows you to do custom sensitivity, splitting it into vertical and horizontal.

Go to your sensitivity and tap on sensitivity and then it should show you your horizontal and vertical. I prefer mine to be the same for snapshotting upwards. Since you play on 5 sense, snapshotting might be a little difficult. I would recommend putting it down to 3 or 4. Most pros play on 2-4 accel.

I actually found it super easy to snap on 6 surprisingly.
Holy crap dude u blew my mind. Its default is 1 I think

Yeah turn it down a bit and play some games and see how you do.
Also, what’s the third category in settings that is unaccassible?

Idk why it is still in the game. There is nothing there.
Upcoming content?

Probably not.
I saw a few bids of a guy that leaked some content in scripting , so I guess well find out. Also 2.5 is perfect. Thanks!
