does anyone else have trouble fragging on duelist compared to support roles? for some reason I'm much better at support roles than fragging ones(i have plenty of other examples)
yes i know I'm silver go ahead and laugh I've got a LOT of improving to do lmao
OkOkay [#8]11 first deaths they were definitely baiting u
we were on defense 🥲 i kept on fat fingering my dash and dashing forward instead of away.
My experience playing in silver rank, as a duelist or just as any agent, you just cant rely on your team, majority of these mf can't even trade, can't use their util for teams, play selfish and doesnt even coms. BUT you need to realise that you, as a player also need to communicate with your team, as a duelist please say something when you're about to entry, especially in mid rounds, ask the controller, do they have their smoke ready, ask the initiator, do they have their info-gathering ability ready, learn to play TOGETHER with your teams, tell your team what choke point are you watching/clearing after you entry a site so your team can watch other choke point, overall communicating is the key to win in any ranks (unless you're just demon and kill everyone)
Avix [#5]my sens is insanely high (1.2 on 800 dpi) i was also a little shaky today and the past few days
Go with a sens you are comfortable in. I play on 1*800dpi and I hover between high plat -low diamond. Kills don't really matter of u win the game. I rather have a 0/10 duelist who entry site than a 30/0 duelist who keep baiting.

so to answer your question, its easier to frag with non duelist because you dont need to rely on your team that much, as a duelist you need that supporting ability to create the space without you dying too fast

me too, mine is 0.266 on 1600dpi and im immortal 2. just in case you haven't, make sure you turn off mouse acceleration in windows because afaik val doesn't have the option to do so.
honestly having an initiator drone or dog or flash or arrow or knife, hell even having a raze boombot, anything to help u get a general idea of where someone is anchoring on site will improve your entry success greatly. playing a duelist is all about finding 1v1s and being able to win them. it's the hardest when you don't know where the enemy team is.
but what you can do is have good presence of mind and keep track of which player likes to play which site, and any possible anchor spots. work with your initiators as they will be your best chance at clearing any spots or even finding that one guy on site to duel.
if all else fails and your team baits you just say fuck it and flank or lurk if you're confident u can carry the game.
In low-elo lobbies, people's game sense is non-existent (except few rare instances). It is aim that gets you out of milion crappy situations.
I would argue, from my experience and from some analyst podcasts, that you shouldn't always play "properly". To elaborate, use first few rounds to see the tendencies of your teammates, are initiators using their utility to clear sites, are controllers smoking the defaults and generally how they position themselves. Ask for their help and if they do not offer it, slow down, angle by angle, clear everything and only explode on site once you have cleared all angles of chokepoints. Train your aim in meantime, as this is what you should focus on perfecting all the way to diamond-immortal lobbies. I recommend PREMS method of training and if you really like it, Aim Lab to warm up.

yeah tbh if you have good aim u can make it to diamond on it alone.
