I Learned A Lot by Losing to Leaderboard Playersππ
1K View2024-03-03So late last night I got chance to play with and against the number 5 and number 12 ranked global players in 5v5 mode for three games (ozelic/lotus) which was some of the most fun I had in a while. I got chance to rewatch my gameplay and came back with some lessons and areas of improvement from all three games. Here are my findings and new found understanding.
You dont always have the range - sometimes a much needed engagement is out of reach. As a tank main its hard to accept that you canβt just jump down on people all the time every time. Be aware of your limitations and focus on your job (keeping the payload moving). I made a few bad plays by over extending.
Let the dps handle it - have faith in your dps to handle it. Even when they don't, try to put yourself in a position to stay alive and ready to reengage. You don't have to run all the way back to spawn but utilize side lays to stay and wait for the collective push.
Sometimes the best way to handle a threat is wait- if you push alone, all eyes are on you. Even if you manage to get to the payload, you wont keep it. Wait for the team for coordinated pushes. Its a case by case tip, but when its a SS lobby, its safer to play on the side of caution.
DPS have carrying privilege, you donβt - By playing these game Iβve had to face a hard truth that DPS players have a massive leg up in carrying potential. So with that I can let myself off the hook in some regards. I need to stay objective focused and thats all you can do.
ALSO FOR THE RECORD.....the game we did lose, we lost by 11 secondsππ
so not that bad lol

3 Round Masters Ranked Game: FADE: 004 [T3 Arena]
Hey guys, this is one of my recent ranked matches with a friend of mine (ft.AJB) doing a duos masters ranked game. We did pretty well here, had some hiccups here and there, but overall a decent match. If you look closely we had a slight miscommunication (where we ended up having three healersπ
). Hope you enjoy the gameplay!
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT-
Cannonball Placement - I still on occasion will miss what I think is a simple cannonball shot. It happens less and less, but sometimes itβs clear that it was a bad shot.

TANK PRACTICE: FADE: TDM: 006 - Aggressive Gameplay + Analysis in Description [T3 Arena]
Hey guys, I got chance to play with some EU players and was asked to play TDM. I donβt usually play the mode with other people because I use this game mode to practice different mechanics and better my understanding of the vanguards in game instead of being kill hunger. This time around I decided to see what would happen if I stayed objective focused and played as aggressive (and effective) as possible.

TANK PRACTICE:FADE:005 - 23 Kill Game: Analysis in Description. [T3 Arena]
Hey guys, itβs been awhile! I got the urge to go back to T3 to check in and see if anything had changed (sadly nothing has), and wanted to play a few games. Little did I know that I would have the best game of my little T3 career. Im rusty for sure, but I made some powerful plays. I donβt know, I might try to make a comeback (probably not π
). I hope you guys enjoy as always!

Why itβs so important to be this or that, and not just having funβ¦? π€π€ππΌ

Good question, I do have fun, but I'm also playing more competitive. I think that casual play should be fun and exciting, but also thought out and strategic (but also this was a ranked game against global players so....lol). I'm the type of person that doesn't believe that fun means carefree, if that makes sense.

Am so excited to play in higher ranked matches, sadly enough am stuck in diamond since people have little game knowledge.

Author likedI completely understand how you feel. Being "rank stuck" is one of the most annoying things. Game sense comes with time and repetition (but also I over analyze this game lol). Try to vibe with at least a duo partner, and get an understanding of their needs and weakness and try to push ranked together (solo Qing in any game is not the wisest move for effective team play). Hope to see ya out there, and best of luck!
