smokes one trick here i love playing smokes but i wanna expand my pool, i wanted to play fade because huge impact plus its gamesense oriented, hopped into unrated and i just felt like her kit was too clunky and i wasnt getting value or kills, but i want to commit to this so!!! fade tips pls
i have zero sova experience too so that adds
again, one trick astra brim viper omen main in that order
ive just recently picked up fade, its about knowing where you can get value with set strats with your 2 dawgs, they have a short range so depending on the map it can be hard to get value but get used to clearing close angles with them, the reveal you need to go into a custom and get lineups for, and the seize you just gotta pair with like a raze nade or other mollies for maximum impact
I'm not a fade main, but play her especially on maps like Pearl, would have been good on Split too, because of how short angles are. Her spotting thing is very versatile, it's like a better Sova dart, especially on those aforementioned maps, you can bounce it and all that, you just can't throw it that far. Just use the wolf thing to clear angles, and remember it works sort of like Raze's boombot, where it has to see the enemy to target it (unless the enemy has been marked by the spot or ult). Her "C" ability (I think) is very useful in that it not only holds people inside of it, but also decays their health considerably and deafens them like Omens paranoia. Use that ability to combo with Raze nades or mollies with your team. Finally, her ultimate is extremely strong if used properly, also decays and deafens, and you can simply throw one of your wolves in on top of it and it'll run right at your enemy, which will add another distraction on executes or retakes
While you should be looking to gather info for ur team, it doesnt necessarily mean u need to play off that info for kills. Say u r on defense, if u throw a good fade eye and theyre not there, thats info to push thru that choke and take significant control of that area, leaving less for ur opponents to work with freely and more info for ur team where they can possibly finish. On atk, its fairly important to work with ur team but also very strong at creating map presence for heavier fakes, especially in ranked cuz ppl bite on anything. If ur that serious work on some lineups that are for specific areas but tbh just keep playing her and get comfy, limit test wherever u can and youll get better if u keep a good mindset
