This is What *CORRECT* Positioning Looks Like (R6 Educational Commentary)

[@Silverado-pq6xe]

Get so excited when you upload. I always learn something new. As someone with a learning disability, hearing you walk me through what you’re doing and why, giving tips on the way is so helpful. Can’t wait to watch this through and hop on ranked.

Playing mute and being the only 1 who reinforces + only 1 with shotgun to set up site is pain

[@Ureyeuh]

The attack on hookah clutch is an example of confidence in aim meeting experience in the game. You're able to play the odds. Getting to Plat anything requires solid aim, good recoil control, and knowing what the opponent is most likely to do. If you have good aim, you'll swing. If you'll swing, you don't need cover. If you don't need cover and you can aim, you can push. If you know what they're likely to do, you can push them and kill them. Newer, lower rank players need to learn about THE ODDS. They need to know common holds and to be able to calculate the odds that their opponent will do X thing after Y action. You pushed that last guy in hookah during the 1v3 because you have all the aforementioned skills and know the odds. You don't push a bp cam, a gate, a default cam, and 3 opponents with no cover without all of that AND WIN.

[@slothman9731]

I play solo, for defense: I trust my own teammates but they're too thirsty for kills. Offense: I tend to go directly for the objective and cause a lot of pressure forcing the opponent to concentrate on me while my teammates roam in their own little world. I might just need to play slower. BUT, what really annoys me and actually boils my blood is how majority of everyone loves to spam the crouch button! In this video, Athieno did crouch, but was never spamming it like some of his opponents.

[@KodaBear2]

crouch is not an issue tho. ussuly you know when they are by sound or drone

Tbf call-outs are difficult when EU severs I get placed vast majority of time with people speaking another language, or people insta muting off the bat, the amount of times I’ve called out someone on your right in etc place and they just don’t understand English and then they turn the mic on and it’s a completely different language, the communication barrier there makes it very difficult to rank up and then the rp is doggy, 16rp a win but -28rp a loss takes the fun out of the game

[@monkeybandit4162]

It also helps to have functioning teammates and not a potato with wires hooked up to. Xbox is terrible for solo queue because over half of the people you will be matched up against will be crazy and or have a 4-5 stack. Your teammates however will be worse than a wet dog, and even if they get some kills they won’t help the team in the slightest.

[@edgeygaming9831]

[@TrilainaBloodwind]

I love siege, but I don't have the time to dedicate to learning all the callouts and locations on maps. I've also gotten burned in the past by people for calling out. That turned me off of ranked in general. That said, if I DID want to get good at ranked, taking the time to learn maps and make those callouts are necessary 1st steps to getting good. It's true for everything that to get good at something, you need to put in the time and energy.

I havent been able to play siege in the last 3 months but when I get back I'm tryna make a big push for at least d3. I've been an average of 3300-3600 mmr for 20 seasons straight never missing plat or having a neg kd but I've only hit diamond once in that time I think it's mainly due to my attack strategies being flawed and refusing to use ops like mav so it'll be interesting to see how far I get this season. BTW those guys were atrocious even for p3s.

[@WuhanLabRat]

I feel your pain bro, I was hard stuck Gold for like 4 seasons straight and now I've been hardstuck Plat 1-2 for the past 3 seasons. But as long as you have a right mindset that you're improving and learning new strategies you will move up in the rankings. Trust the process 🙏 I believe in you.
