Playing solo against squads is fun - when everything goes your way. Here’s some additional stuff (or reviewed stuff) for the average joe:

1. Carry Ordinance. These are the only items that’ll lend an extra helping hand in damage dealt. They can also be used to obstruct paths from enemies to you.

2. Avoid Focus Fire. You’re 2 arms will never outdo 4 arms. Always try to engage a fight with only 1 person having a good LoS on you.

3. Learn to disengage. If you end up having more than 1 pair of eyes on you, it’s better to disengage when you start taking damage. Your fights need to be quick, if you’re taking too long it may be a good time to reposition.

4. Utilize cover. Whether pushing or retreating, these are your only ways of avoiding damage and containing firefights. Also include frequent vertical traversal in your playstyle.

5. Learn your weapon. Weapons that are high damage per shot lend themselves to pop-and-shot tactics. Weapons that are high fire rate should lend themselves to hipfire dancing. Learn which weapon is optimal when you’re HP is full, and when it’s low. Also learn your preferred primary weapons, and backup/secondary weapons.

6. LISTEN. Knowledge is power, and being able to actively track adjacent enemies is what gives you the edge. Listening also helps you determine who is approaching: Bangalore, Caustic, Octane, and Pathfinder don’t have normal footsteps.

Step 1: get 2 golden guns
Step 2: get golden armor and golden knockdown shield

i think this is the best way to learn. instead of just watching, to hear your commentary is much more insightful/valuable. more please. 👍

[corbefranz]

my strategy is:
1.knock an enemy

2.hide and wait for his team to revive him

3.knock the healer

4.then redo it a second time or just kill the last one in a 1vs1

It is sad how frequently I have to solo in this “team-based” game. They need to start pairing people based on kdr, overall time played, and kills—or give us solo mode back.... I actually really liked duos too.

The main part: you hit your shots. That's to me the most impressive part of this video. As long as you don't push like an idiot, hitting your shots will ensure you win most of your fights, even 1v3.

TGM: okay so I dont finish the 1 v1 so I bail.

What I see: TGM falls off by accident. Tries to get back up but gives up and leaves.

Has anyone noticed a lot of new players camping corners and gunning you down almost instantly?

[stamina]

Me:gets angry because my teammates left right after dying
Also me:sees this video.

[JpDaKing]

Step one:

Install aimbot on yourself

[onekwispyboi]

I have to say I'm the same when it comes to soloing team fights, like when my friends are with me we usually die almost instantly but when I'm with randoms or going solo I can most of the time pull off a win

I miss that building so much :(
It was so cool sniping the other building from there.

[EnigmaticPeanut]

I started solo no fill because I was tired of my random teamates... only got top 3s and better so far....
I guess it’s really better to be alone than with the wrong ppl.

[johnchapman]

You and Spink taught everyone how to play and now the game is hard lol

[akshaymudliar]

These sort of videos are the ones I love the most

[johnchapman]

Also, def my favorite video format from you. When you're smarter than you are skilled, this is the best type of content to make.
