Hey guys, gotta be honest here and say solo'ing ranked was quite brutal. However I managed to pick up a few tips along the way that I wish I applied earlier on, but will save you guys a lot of stress and frustration. Lets me know how your ranked experience is going this and what you guys hope to see in the next. In my personal opinion, matchmaking NEEDS to change as well as the addition of in game text chat. Anyhow, thank you guys for taking the time out to watch my video and hopefully it helps in some way! If it did please drop a like and if you want more The Finals Training and Aim theory videos, subscribe! 👇👇👇 kzbin.info/door/eWRzx4zEHoKp2gAOcD4nnA

Dude idc if im going 0 and 10 and we lose im blaming the guy at the top of the leaderboard

[@l.l.d.2129]

I love that this video was both actually helpful but also positive and encouraging people to be nice to teammates. I've found this community really nice so far!

[@oDom1no]

"Don't play ranked like it's ranked" is probably the best tip out of the entire video

[@jiddybo1]

Your content on The Finals is ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT man, insane video quality and content. Looking forward for more!

[@HazedNConfused]

Thanks truly appreciate it and is so motivating to hear!🙏

[@RGisOnline]

Another small tip that could save you a few seconds or minutes is try to make it as hard as you can to reach the cashout, if an enemy can just zip up to your cashout, it could lead to ambushes, so check your surroundings and try and plan out where the enemies could come from and plant explosives, I've gotten alot of kills by placing explosives on the stairs where I think an enemy could come from

[@HazedNConfused]

Absolutely fantastic tip man! Thanks I’ll definitely add it to my arsenal!

[@Exist64]

I like that you mentioned attitude. People are usually aware of it's importance, but still need a reminder sometimes. Also smooth transitions!

[@HazedNConfused]

Thank you! You know I always assumed it was the kids that were short tempered, but after solo queing there are more than a few adults that needed to hear those tips.

[@brandonlittlejohn8055]

Hella feel you on the anxiety from using mic dude. Ive had so many bad experiences in other games where teammates are super toxic and rude, basically do nothing but talk crap ended up ruining online gaming for me for years and id always just mute the entire team which defeats the purpose of a teambased game. However lately ive been having good times playing with randos on pubg or the finals and actually coming out if it with friends

[@HazedNConfused]

That's awesome to hear man, I still play with some of the guys I randomly matched up with in the beta and they are honestly some of the best teammates I've ever had!

[@cbaileychamp]

People are gonna shit talk you bro. They dont know you fool none of the shit they say ab you needs to matter. Giving mfs way too much power. Mute them when they talk shit. Premptively muting is lame cmon now.

[@HeadHunter697]

​@@cbaileychamp I assume you weren't there for the golden days of Halo 3 and Modern Warfare 2 back in 2007-2009? With the shit that kids uses to say to eachother on those games, I wonder where they are now.

[@jordankelly4684]

​@HeadHunter697 I grew up in those days and am really not interested in being shit talked constantly. I'm 30 years old, and really just want to enjoy something without some asshole making me hate it.

[@anthonypolanco5821]

This video plus the video of improving your aim routine wil absolutely improve my overall playability on the game as well as improve one of the most important things on FPS games, Aim. Thanks a lot man, hope you grow really high.

[@gunkcancerr]

this is unironically a very informative video. i learned alot of the mentioned tips by just playing the game for 200h+, but i can imagine that a new/not so good player can really learn and benefit from these tips. 🐐

[@HazedNConfused]

Thanks man, it was the same for me. I wish I knew these tips when I started the grind. It would of made it a lot easier and a lot less stressful. Hopefully next season they make some matchmaking changes, that’ll make my, “expect the worst and hope for the best” tip irrelevant (in terms of ranked matchmaking) lol.

[@SANDREZZ]

Very well put together video. Editing was great and information was helpful!

[@typothetical]

This is insane quality, great tips, really well presented, good pacing. Subcscribing. Always glad to see The Finals youtubers who share things worth learning.

Thanks! So far they are doing a great job ironing out all the classes. I can’t wait for next season, hopefully I’m the changes will shake up the meta a little bit!

[@jafsrob]

jokes on you, voice chat is bugged for many people and just outright doesn't function a lot of the time. this is both for outgoing and incoming voice chat, they may just not be able to hear you even if they have voice chat enabled.

[@jaynegetman4541]

You have to press z to talk by default

Very good tips, focused on decent (but also just more win-efficient) team behavior. Sub earned!

[@BasementSnax]

Great video!

[@jaredtaylor8900]

You’re an inspiration to all of us solos out there! Gotta say tho out of 50+ matches I think I’ve had 2 ppl talk back in game.

[@HazedNConfused]

That may be the case more times than not and tbh it is looking like that this season. However on the plus side, the majority of the time they will be listening in silence. Try to go out thin back into voice to let them know you are actively trying to communicate. Anyhow thank you so much for your support!

[@GojoZensei]

Quality vid my guy - keep it up! Solo queue in ranked is a headache for sure, so props on hitting diamond 🙌

[@HazedNConfused]

Really appreciate it man and will do! I'll be honest though it is probably one of the most brutal experiences, but hopefully next season they make some changes!

[@toastyman360]

I really appreciate this vid, I've been doing your aiming guide and have been getting better and have been wanting to get into ranked next season. I'm the same way about the introvert shit, but I just want to hold my own when i get into games.

[@jebuty]

I’ve finding all of ts out with my dad since we started playing in season 1 and I can confirm it’s very effective as long your teammates can aim 😭

[@typothetical]

17:31 this mans tips were so good he was able to use them to eliminate a demigod

[@tylerbalazic4592]

On top 27: your teammate being all the way over there without communicating is their mistake but you knowing they're not communicating and you go in without noticing they're off in lala land is your mistake. That's the nature of soloing team based games, your teammates are also an obstacle

[@HazedNConfused]

That is also true. The hardest thing about Solo Queing is to take every variable and possibility into consideration. Literally forcing the player to assume the worst and hope for the best.

[@TheStefonio]

Would you be able to elaborate on tip 9? It seems glossed over, especially when the 2 surrounding tips go into detail; 8: Learn how to place the APS turret, like putting it in front of you so you're not in any blast radius 9: Learn how to place the mesh shield. 10: The glitch grenade combo is xyxy and these are the advantages it provides

[@couthic]

The dagger is op. Back stabbing with the special attack 1 shots everyone but the heavy. But 1 normal attack after the initial backstab will finish them.

[@egementon]

Very high quality underrated video

[@HazedNConfused]

Thanks you, only more to come!

[@WKNDHRS]

This is a killer video. You could reload this for season 2 but change a couple words lol

[@HazedNConfused]

[@nicholasndur-osei1779]

Brother man this is my first time coming to the channel but the editing quality is really good man! Do you edit yourself?

[@HazedNConfused]

Truly appreciate that man! Yes, all the editing here I do all by my lonesome!

[@Mr.K.dilkington1965]

Wouldn’t you say focusing 100% on one class is better then changing it up? Bruce lee had a quote that had to do with this; "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

[@HazedNConfused]

I absolutely love that quote and it can be strongly applied with a pre-arranged coordinated team. However when solo queing, having the ability to be flexible is very important, because you never will know which class your teammate is going to pick until you are in the pre-game lobby. You need to be essentially, shapeless like water. ;)

[@Mr.K.dilkington1965]

@@HazedNConfused Hahah I understand you, but like you also said. Something along the lines of always expect your teammates to be bad, that as a solo player you should expect to carry. I’m also a solo player and try to just be as comfortable as I possible can with one class, but in the end all good.

[@cinnamonrollsinpasas4890]

i have another tip, never rush stealing a cashout, unless it is viable. What you can do, is forcing one of the enemies show itself up by trying to steal the cashout then kill it

[@inarsy9764]

very cool video and good tips, my one thing is that the backgrounds on the title cards were way to visually noisy and flashy in my opinion.

[@HazedNConfused]

Thanks for taking the time out to watch my video, and I really appreciate the input. I'm always looking for new ways to improve the quality of my vids and I'll take your opinion into consideration!

[@slimsunny9994]

[@HazedNConfused]

[@zuzuman.]

I agree with everything you said about communication with the team, but in lower ranks, at least in EU, almost noone has voice chat enabled. I am not kidding, 1/10 matches someone has VC enabled

[@Elsiette]

help why do the weapon and grenade animations equip and when I enter the game they are no longer equipped? Is it some bus from the game, does this happen to anyone else?

Thank you .. I had to deal with toxic team mates 😂 and I like to stick to myself because of it... I like to be a medic

Not uncommon to be me with 4k combat and 8 kills and team has 1 or 0 kills each and sub 1k combat.

[@sSteppingStones]

This is EU servers btw

[@HazedNConfused]

"Suspicious sounds" I felt that one in my core. lol. I've had days when I had more than few not talk, but oddly enough they were listening. Hence why I make callouts even when I think nobody is listening. Even at risk of my teammates thinking I'm mentally ill. lol

[@friedchickenloverr]

[@sizzilin124]

Medium without defib is by no means a "throw" especially if your playing with lights and/or dont use healing beam

[@HazedNConfused]

I respectfully agree to disagree, if you are solo queing there is no guarantee that your teammates will have any coordination with you. That is why running with defib is necessary, it will instantly get your teammates back into the fight if they are downed. Which drastically increases your chances of winning an engagement, stealing, or defending.

[@sizzilin124]

@HazedNConfused Definitely not doubting it's usefulness. Just saying it's not that bad to run other things, like an extra grenade or mine for extra dps.

[@JackPelaFox]

Best tip was to treat ranked as a regular match, that will definitely be way more fun and entertaining than just playing for the win. The latter leading to insults, anger, disappointment, etc etc. So yea, enjoy videogames! 😊

[@HazedNConfused]

Definitely is, sometimes I feel people forget to enjoy the game that they are playing. Which leads to making each loss feel that much worse, instead of enjoying the time spent playing. Thanks for watching!
