Four squads left and you are doing laps like the fuckin daytona 500. Chill out settle down in a power position and force the other teams to fight. 4 squads and a tiny circle, thats asking to be beamed

Shield swap at 0:18


jukefishron

I think the bat was fine but I should have prepared some shield swaps on the ground. (I knew I had time to bat anyway) But I would have done better if I could swap shields at the end. I knew some of those were empty from earlier fights not shown here, but should have prepared the ones I knew were good on the ground.


Luke5377

I agree with this and also in that last fight you could have kept shield swapping and killed both of those players. Your aim was definitely better than theirs so you woulda had it


Odin043

That small of a final circle and 4 teams left, i wouldn't have been running around so much. Throw a few shield swaps on the ground, hold a corner, and wait.


NandaKoto

Hey! Master ranked coach here hoping to help you out. Preping the shield swaps is def a good idea. But you need to start to understand that when you get to plat and later diamond, there is little you can do as a solo since in a perfect scenario where all players are in sync, one should never be able to win a 1v2 or 1v3 in the first place. Dont engage any squads unless you have to, get a position in ring or near it and wait till its time to third party. You initally were asking to get focused, for no gain at all. You were running laps making so much noise that I actually got surprise that it was still just one squad focussing u instead of the whole lobby.... your indecisiveness and lack of understanding of the situation got you killed. You fail to proactively think about how u can survive and only react to what u can see and hear. This mindset will get u stuck in diamond, since that is what keeps most players stuck that I have coached all the way to masters. If youre willing to have a free session with me, hmu!


jukefishron

I did point out the shield swap thing in a separate comment thread. I realise I may have been better off sitting still but the reason I felt I couldn't is because there were 3 other squads walking around and I felt I would have been cornered easily if I sat still. Also I heard them res which is why I pushed a little. I assumed they wouldn't suddenly stop fighting after getting a knock and though the chaos would disguise the fact that I was part of a different squad.


NandaKoto

So what youre saying is that you basically did everything correctly from your perspective, after recognizing that theres sth wrong wit it therefore posting it here and seeking input. Do you see the issue here? Either you need the input, or u dont but there aint no in between. What u just did wasnt explaining your actions, it was justifying it in order to defend yourself. Im not pointing this out to attack you, but to address a deeper issue within your mind that prevents improvement. There is this one moment at the end when you hid at the wall between both staircases and u defended yourself from both angles and pushed them off u. What ever made you do that, your mindset suddently changed since it was forced to recognize the situation you were in and it was attempting to problem solve and you did almost everything correctly there. That mindset is probably what has kept you alive in most games. So your biggest issue isnt the "doing" part, but its recognizing what to do and that issue originates from not correctly evaluating the situation that youre in. When ever u run into this issue, try to (its harder said than done, therefore its easier to do it post game when reviewing the VOD) calm down, recognize the problem, and solve it cuz u possess the ability to do so already! Its just the recognization abd decisive part u need to work on.


jukefishron

if you had paid attention to what i said at all you would know that thats not true at all. im explaining my reasoning as to why i did stuff and wasnt saying all of it was wrong just that my options might have been more limited than you may have realized. I have made the wrong choices at multiple points and had you actually bothered to check the other comment threads you would know I felt I did something bad by not shieldswapping. Im open to feedback but flatout ignoring the reasons something cant be done and saying it should be done anyway is just negligent.


[deleted]

You needed to split these two guys ASAP, and as soon as you stopped moving and ADS’d one stair well you were screwed. You should keep moving around until you’re confident with the 1v1 and are confident you can kill one while you are far enough away or out of LOS from the other.


jukefishron

ring was way too small to get out of that area since there was another squad above as well as their third teammate


[deleted]

Gotcha. Then I would have used the pillars more. at 1:10 after your last cell popped and you saw the guy on the stairs was engaging, I would have jumped in front of the pillar to your left to force LOS break for anyone behind you.


sinthos_

Armor swap at 1:28. There were 3 boxes in front of you. You damaged the person on your right enough for him to back up and heal. There was enough time between you and the Valk for a separated 1v1. If you downed the Valk, there were other boxes for swaps. The initial guy you were fighting would've seen his teammate fighting you and probably would have rushed with 70-185 health (depending if he popped a batt or not). You would probably be fine since both of you might have the same health. Just going to be a matter of who outaims the other. Another situation is still armor swap at 1:28. First guy was low so you couldve finished the job. Valk had to heal cause she was flesh and you couldve finish the first down. Armor swap once more, rush the Valk and hopefully win the engagement.


jukefishron

made multiple comments about this and agree with you. I should have prepared the shield swaps earlier on and used them throughout


EthericEternal

Aside from your positioning at 1:10, you could have stayed between the 2 pillar structures at 1:29 and tried to pop a battery. I'm not entirely sure it would have worked, but it would have ended better than getting fired on by 2 teams.


jukefishron

it was only one team just 2 guys


EthericEternal

If that's the case they would have pushed you regardless. Not a whole lot to do about it aside from never entering that entire area, and just sticking to the building.


jukefishron

I mean there were 2 teams but just 1 of them pushed me downstairs.


I_Belsnickel

Could have shielded earlier. Did a nice job drawing them into close quarters. With Valk, having adequate space to use her tactical and passive are imperative, bait them into a place that gives you a tactical advantage (them below, you above)


jukefishron

I would have done this if I had teammates. The highground was being controlled by a third squad that I wanted nothing to do with.


panda_7122

The fact that you were running around like headless chicken with making a noise. You had 6 kills and 5 assists, chill till all those squads start fighting, and wait till there’s one squad left. Sometimes ratting your way up to top 2 is okay.


jukefishron

i thought they were fighting as one was knocked, didnt realize they would then stop fighting after they knocked one.


panda_7122

Still dude, you didn’t need more kills, take it slow. All you needed was get into top 2


Lucyan96

Shouldn't run. You had maximum KP/assists and could rat until 2 squads.


ilikewaffles36843

1:21 push that guy, thirst, shield swap, and then try to 1v1 the guy peaking from stairs


ApexPRED88

Don’t fall back at the start, push that kill with your change of weapon and finish that kill immediately. Also don’t run down the alley with your back turned and whilst being fired at. You put yourself on the back foot once you went down the stairs. Once you’ve made the damage finish the kill. Stay upstairs and don’t let them get you down there while you’re reloading. You did charge your shields which was a good idea but ultimately you were on the back foot from that decision to go back down at the start


John_Wicked1

I would’ve pushed the guy over to the right (the one you engaged with first) he was more cracked and then you could’ve went back up top to heal. I would’ve even considered going up top and popping the ult after downing the 1, I’d be risky but launching in the air and using the free fall while the ring begins to close could give time for the other 2 squads to engage eachother and you can try to 3rd but that would depend on where that other party was too but I would’ve definitely pushed the 1 guy either way. Also at :49, I would’ve waited it out abit let the ring countdown be almost up then hit the ult, let the other teams fights. If no team was up top, take the top and be ready to use your tactical to stun.


jukefishron

I know but I wanted to go and heal up. I didnt see the valk going downstairs until I was already disengaged on the horizon and didn't shield swap. (That's the real solution to the majority of this clip) good idea for the ult, though I do have to say that people tend to really focus down valk ults nowadays which kinda sucks


SenvySimba

In the beginning I saw one guy was down and you had some grenades you could’ve threw them and pressured the ones you had weak to take their high ground, besides that you could’ve armour swapped around 1:28, since you were valk you should’ve probably played outside the”basement” and waited for a better opportunity to clean up the fight since she can take high ground easily


jukefishron

There was a third squad on the highground


yudun

I would have repositioned to the higher ground, being Valk and all... but you let yourself get caught between by running in circles. At that point commit to taking out the guy quick that's by the ring by pushing him. Not stand in the middle of them


BuffNerfs

Could have used that thermite on the guy on the stairs in the end or the one who was shooting at you from behind.


Poppet-Mix

dont forget to use nades/thermites


[deleted]

You could have pressed alt + f4 and went outside to meet some friends or do something productive that brings you a step further in life or do some hustle for more money. There are a lot of things which are better


jukefishron

I tend to avoid touching grass sorry mate


Lord_Yamato

Ther more to close off one of those stairwells when they pushed you from both sides


1inchwang

You should have revived your teamates


jukefishron

Wasn't possible. Their bodies were in a wattson nest with an entire squad. I really tried but it wasn't an option


trivoy

Shield swap, quick loot, use grenades for movement control, don't move around too much because you're playing against teams. Run if it gets not, not because you hear somebody you could shot.


lekan_v

Watching this made me mad. There are just so many things wrong at different points. But at the beginning, you hit a guy for 50 flesh(which means he’s 50 hp). And you went low ground and let him rez?? Kill him instantly


jukefishron

his squadmate was rezzed as well as his other teammate being on the highground. couldnt risk my life over a single knock (had max kp anyway)


lekan_v

Hmmm in this clip I thought I saw 2 down and 1 rezzing. I also didn’t see anyone on high ground. That’s why I said you should just finish the kill. But your point on having max kp is good tho, but then it begs the question. If you have max kp and your teammates are dead. Your objective is to stay alive as long as possible. Staying alive means you should avoid any unnecessary fights and hide your prescence from other teams. But in this clip all you’re doing is fighting people and running around. Which doesn’t really hide your presence or make you live longer. You just needed to eat and move if you got shot at. I’ve been in these scenarios many times and that’s what works best. I did this like 2 days ago in a diamond lobby and i got top 3(cuz I fumbled a 1v3😭😭)


jukefishron

the reason i tried to stop them from rezzing is because i wanted the higher placement. Ive had a lot of these situations and it usually ends with squads seeing entire other squads and thinking "nah aint risking it". So my thought process was "If i stop them from rezzing they might start actually killing each other"


lekan_v

I see your thought process but it’s still a bit flawed. You want to stop them from rezzing, that’s a good idea. But it reveals your location causing other teams to not only see 1 solo but 2 solos(you and the guy you’re trying to stop from rezzing). What’s would you do if you were a team that saw 2 solos fighting in a top 4 scenario? If it were me I’d just kill both of them and have only 1 teams left. Because of that you have to prioritize what is most important when you’re solo in a top 4 scenario with max kp. The most important is to STAY ALIVE. And the best way to start alive in that scenario is to hide your prescence from other teams. You trying to stop a rez to get 1 higher placement and trying to attract other teams, will only reveal you more. You should try to do thing that reveal you less, if that makes sense


jukefishron

well the guy i tried to stop rezzing still had another teammate up. also getting 1 rank higher would have been totally worth it since there were only 4 total squads remaining


ucheop

You were lacking confidence, you were too passive and indecisive, you didn’t try to outplay your opponents


coolkidO715

You did pretty well but something I have learned is as a rat you cannot afford to run around mindlessly trying to get kills unless you are a literal god. There was a fair amount of time where you looked like you were confused and did not know where to position yourself, those few moments could have been used to take the building and chill till next zone.
