After playing LoL and CS for over a decade, and reaching the highest rank in both, I've learned the following things: 1. The objective is to win, but the goal should always be to improve. 2. Don't focus on your rank, focus on getting better, since your rank is simply an indicator of how good you are consistently. 3. The way to become really good is by mastering the basics (the "little, boring things," not the flashy stuff-prioritize substance over glamor). 4. Be as good of a teammate as you possibly can be and have a positive attitude. 5. Play every day (every day you play the game you get better and learn things, whether you win or lose, but if you play on and off you lose the majority of the progress you've made by not playing the game for a couple of days. If you play every day you create a compound effect, which is crucial-it means that your progress will be exponential). 6. Be comfortable being uncomfortable (when learning new concepts or mechanics, you will suck at first and that's okay, the only way to improve is to keep doing it, don't allow the initial discomfort to prevent you from learning/mastering what needs to be learned/mastered). 7. If you want to become really good and reach the highest rank you need to be serious about the game and play a lot, I mean A LOT, if you're not willing to do that that's perfectly fine, just don't expect to reach the highest rank(s), because people you are competing against in the highest ranks are grinding while you're not, so they will naturally pass you by-you either keep up with the tide or you get drowned, there are no two ways about it. Great content Speed and good luck to everyone in the ranked jungle!
Need this, I've been getting tilted off the face of the earth lately. I need to focus on improvement not winning. I had 55%wr but lost almost all of my last 20 games and it's brought me down to 50. I just find it so easy to get my mentality ruined and so hard to reset from it. When I first started I didn't care because it was a new game but now I'm starting to take it too seriously. Muting has helped alot because people have started getting more toxic but when I mute as soon as they start showing signs now and it's helped alot
Absolutely the best video I've seen in this space. Deadlock is so new, and people are just running around like toddlers chasing soccer balls. Great advice in this video. Keep it up my boi!
Good stuff, bro. Keep up the good work. Used to watch your vids when I played Dota2 back in the day and it's nostalgic to see you over here in the deadlock world
Your audio needs some attention mate. There isn't an "echo", but you've got a lot of reverb/distortion in your audio. Idk if your room is dampened properly, or if your mic needs a filter over it - maybe it's just a pitch of voice you use, or the way you project your voice, but giving your audio the attention it deserves will greatly improve your engagement. You might be able to just tune the audio down a few dBs in your editing process maybe? It's soooo tinny.
First minute of video "youre going to lose" srry buddy not me im different ggs next video. Jk people lose their cool soo fast in games in general. So tons of amazing advice in this.
Ok so I'm telling on myself but I can get toxic. THE MUTE FUNCTION EXISTS, and i use it often. But the amount of people who would rather engage with toxic people and tell them to shut up RATHER than jsut mute them. Report systems wouldn't need to exist if people took authority over their own ability to just shut off the person they don't wanna listen to. It's so dumb to me that chat bans exist in games when mute functions exist.

WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE URNS?
A lot of people drag the 20 minutes games to 50 minutes because they want to get items and defend everything all the time.
