Post tips for the loading screen

(Theatrum) #1

What are some tips you would give for the loading screen. Here are two I think are pretty essential.

If you see a lot of people calling for a medic, try playing a medic

If you have a sniper on your team it’s unlikely you need another one… or three.

There’s always the classic:
If your team has mercs like Vassili, give up

One skillful Phantom is fine. Three noob Phantoms are not.

  1. When playing a fire support and ammo icons appear around your teammates, that means they are shooting, go and help them!

  2. Watching the HP bar of the teammates and their positions can give you an idea where the enemies are / what is going on.

  3. Getting kills doesn’t do any good if you die as well. If you think you are close to death, retreat and get healed instead of trying to kill the enemies.

These help with the most common newbie mistakes imo, which are:

  • not reading the situation properly (or not reading at all)
  • trying too hard to get kills/plant/repair/deliver (because they don’t read the situation)
  • taking too much risk (because they are trying too hard)
  • dying without accomplishing anything (because they take too much risk)

Watching good players on youtube gives an insight on their decision making, when they retreat and when they engage.

The more movement you make as Phantom, the easier you are to see.

This phrase should be in description

Yes, just stay in spawn, cloaked. It may very well be the most effective thing you can do…

If you are unsure of Phantom’ liabilities, that is.

Phantom Pro-tip : Use your gun, not your melee weapon.

Something for cod scrubs. “There is a reason why you cant see your K/D during the match”.

Proxy is cancer

Phantom owns noobs

Dont f@#$%& waste airstrikes on ev maps. This means stop throwing them the second u spawn ffs.

Won a game? It was cause you’re super MLG and carried. Lost a game? Lag.

Hitting medkits or ammoboxes gives you a lower cooldown for the next one.

If there’s a high level on your team with both Arty and Fragger, expect salt when your team isn’t doing well.

Isn’t that already a loading screen tip? If not it should be there of course.

On a serious note, maybe there should indeed be a tip saying “Play the objective - K/D does not win matches.”

This is the most realistic thing I’ve ever read.

Don’t be a D*ck, don’t play Javelin!

As Stoker, don’t always use your mollies for kills, they can be more effective blocking an objective or parh.
