I would recommend watching Awkward's newest video on the four step plan - the amount of opportunities for flanking has definitely decreased recently. It's still important to focus on doing as much damage as possible though. Also, make sure your rotations are fast - a lot of players spend too long flanking. Even just taking some steps to the side of your team is an off angle and will distract enemies for your team.

@@SeanadoFPS I've seen all of Awkward's videos on Kiriko. I'm almost always at an off angle to the side of my team or taking high ground. I try to always have natural cover when I can and try to stay close to health packs. I get almost no opportunities to flank because as in my last comment, if I leave my team for more than 5 seconds it seems like most of them die crazy fast so I usually make my rotations very quick cus if I don't, then I'm basically by myself or with 1 other teammate. Of course this isn't every game but it feels like that's the average. I still get as much damage as possible and I still make good plays that definitely leads to winning team fights. It just feels like more often then not the enemy team is just way better then the teams I'm on. Or I'm constantly on teams that basically just argue with each other the whole match.

I'll try to include more losing games next time I do one of these videos. Thanks for the feedback!

I asked him that after they addded dps passive and 250 heath he said yes but I hope he replies because that was a lil bit ago(I still play her the same but my sloppy gold version lol I suck still I can’t get better 😂)

@@connorriordan875 I asked another top 10 Kiriko player, they said you don't flank and stuff as much anymore, but focus on healing and looking at your tank. If you have a dive tank, then stay with your dps. I've been winning so much more after that advice. I guess try to get your fox 🦊 as much as possible! Good luck! ❤️🦊 You still off angle as much as you can, though.

@@foxythecelestial3015ok thanks man! I have sooo many hours on her and just can’t get any better idk it’s starting to get depressing lol I’ll start exercising that tho Edit: I tried diving with my tank before and it’s about a 50/50 if it works out lol

After giving it some time, I can definitely say the amount of opportunities you have to flank in a game has decreased - you have to be a little more intelligent with picking your flanks but you should still aim to do as much damage as possible and constantly off angle - even if you're a few steps to the side of teammates. Would recommend watching Awkward's newest video on the four step plan.

@@SeanadoFPS cool! Thanks for telling me! I've seen those Awkward videos so much, I've also been watching Coach Spilo and his map positioning guides. Have a great day!

im tired of seeing this, if your team is focused on winning the game theyll see how youre playing and adapt often depending on whether ur getting value or not. anyway they will have to adapt to win even if you were throwing so just focus on getting better at your hero and make it less about winning in the early stages of shifting your play style. you will have to be bad to be good your team is not an excuse for your progression or lack of

@@methlord76Honestly, Adventure Time taught me one of the best standpoints I know on the matter: "Being bad at something, is the first step to being sorta good at something ~ Jake The Dog

Stats are a good guideline but can be misleading. Judge your performance on whether you won/lost the game/fight, how you died, etc. You may be tunnel visioning on doing damage too much to start with, but that's OK, get good at doing damage, then recognise if you are going too far and tone it back a notch.

I target whoever needs healing at the time - who's actually at risk of dying. If multiple teammates need healing focus the ones that are most likely to die (out of cover, being focused)

Balance patches can make minor changes to certain interactions but overall the fundamentals of how you should play Kiriko stay the same imo. I might play some support on my twitch when I have more time in the future so check that out :). Also important to remember that just because a patch promotes more teamwork, that won't necessarily be the reality in ranked games.

Definitely not if she's doesn't take off angles how can Kiri apply pressure you necessarily need to get kills forcing key cool downs such as Suzu lamp etc with just your primary fire is insane value and getting the enemy to look at you allows your team to engage for free. This if you aren't playing Kiri like this you are probably playing her like h healbot with occasional kunais being thrown

Yes!

???? He literally immediately places in plat and then quickly moved up, it is not gold gameplay

It's about timing, especially when you're playing against dive heroes. Make sure you're timing the angles with your team fighting the enemy, it will force the enemy to make a difficult choice. If you find yourself consistently getting punished after using TP, consider taking less aggressive angles. Wall climb to buy time too.

and moira

Hi there :) It's because that isn't actually the username of the account I used, I used streamer mode which turns names into that format with the -. Sorry to disappoint you :(

@@SeanadoFPS bahahah all good thank u for reply and great video !

Good luck!

Update: i reach the gold, i will improve in the next weeks but your guide works very insane!!!

Sony WH-1000XM3 Not the best for gaming, but as someone who enjoys using the same headphones for listening to music and playing games on my PC, they do a good job.

Quite the opposite imo. The new DPS passive makes healing even weaker. Sometimes, you have to recognise that healing a teammate is a dead end (especially a tank that is taking fire from 3 or more enemies because you can't outheal that) and you need to make an aggressive play in order to win the fight. Distracting enemies still remains the best way to take pressure off of your teammates.

so confident yet so wrong

“Don’t get greedy” is so true!!!! , kiriko is fast paced and I found myself getting caught up in the motion being a superhero 😂😂😂😂

Thank you! The game is a lot of fun, especially when you have a goal/something you are focusing on improving at.

yea, you can't look vaguely in the direction of an enemy or ally, mash a button or two, and call it a day with Kiri. gotta aim a little more than Moira does, lol.

@@jonasdowner you know that's not what I meant. don't be this dumb.

More like tracer not moira

Nah, is way way different, because kiriko actually heals when needed 😂😂😂😂

Will put one up in the future.

imagine shitting on someone because he put in the work to help others

@@tehJimmyy I didn't mean to. It's just you completely double the video from another KZbin channel. And I don't blame you for this at all. This knowledge, it's all good you share this thing to your audience, yet it would be honorable to make at least some references to the guy who created such video first. I'd like to hear in this vid something like "Well I saw this thing on another guy's channel(here goes lil logo of that channel) and I have the link to that thing in description" And then you go telling them this 4 step line 1 engage the enemy 2 do it from off-angle 3 close the distance(for better shot) 4 when things go bad - tp out The main task is distraction(while they looking at you, they don't shoot your team and thus u don't need even heal cause no one of getting damaged.

Hey, this is a fair point. The way I play and explain in this video is not dissimilar to Awkward's four step plan - I'm not going to change how I play Kiriko to a worse way for the sake of originality though. I try to offer my own structure, perspective and way of thinking which makes this video different. I also VOD review people along the way. Mind if I pin?

@@Az-ecim kiriko was always played that way before even awkward made the video , no offense you are such a d rider

@@SeanadoFPS It's fine I was only talking about kinda paying respect to original thing I guess. I don't mind at all, u may pin all you want
