Same here buddy. I never really tried super hard in ranked but I always find myself playing against plats in casual so I tried ranked again. And got to gold 1 super fast and eventually plat so I’m stoked to keep playing. I’ve been playing since release on and off but right now feels super fun to play again, but I’m skeptical about Diamond cuz of the hackers. I think plat is as far as I need to go 😂

Next to Macie Jay, you're my favorite R6 content educator. The commentary is sound, rational, team-based, tactical, and selfless. These are all the characteristics of a solid, respectable player that people should be looking up to.
Your educational videos are definitely my favorite to watch. My attack side is so much worse than my defense so any advise like what’s in this video helps a lot.
My personal tip, don’t team kill, wait until match point, 4-4 and then nitro cell your entire team or as many as you can, then wait for them to message you in anger
So coincidental, I was looking for solo q tips earlier, and then you make video on it. Best R6 YTber imo, good work man. I can’t wait to get my PC back. For anyone who’s down to play with my mediocre self, my names BezerkBenny on Xbox.
I love this videos of commentary, i need more of this videos of smarter desions because it's the most important thing we have to have in this game in really any game
Athieno Ik you get a lot of questions and you a pretty big streamer in the siege community but what’s your best personal advice for controller players? How can the aggressive players play more pro efficient in the siege community? How do we know when to push and when not to
Ik im not athieno lmao but I wanted to kinda give u a little advice u wanna push and be aggressive based off 3 factors sound, what info u get, and what utility your up against for example if your on attack and u plan to rush site and they have trap ops u wanna clear that utility where your coming in from and figure out where they are either from reliable teammate coms or drones u don't have to close rounds out really fast and peek everything all aggressive if u use info and sound to your advantage its very easy to predict and outplay people in a aggressive but smart manner u just gotta position yourself right if u play enough and have alot of map knowledge it gets easier over time playing
@@bullet-sm5gd I’m ngl that’s probably more descriptive than Athieno and like I said he’s a well known player so I kinda had a feeling that it would take a minute for somebody to reply but that was probably the best way you can put it, I appreciate that a lot thank you man enjoy your day and hopefully I’ll get better 😌
@@iiryuu4091 U will get better trust me it just takes time u might feel like your not getting better some days but u just gotta have that good mindset and confidence when going into a game and don't look down on yourself for doing bad in a game u done what u could do u just gotta analyze what your doing wrong and try to not make those same mistake again and that just comes down to how much u play it takes most people a couple thousand hrs of play time before they are that player they wanna be even myself I made and make alot of mistakes and i have like 1000 hrs played like there's times when I was like if I could've killed that guy or not peeked we probably would've had the momentum to win the round or game for example and when u reflect on mistakes and look back at it like that u start believing in yourself more and getting better and having the confidence think of it as constructive criticism but to yourself when u die and also u said your on controller I also play controller and thats all I've ever played I would just recommend grinding t hunt ik it sounds boring but ill just put on music and rock t hunt for like a hour or more a day and I challenge myself alot as well like i will use boss g or a dmr or even a pistol and walk around trying to one tap all the terrorists but u don't have to do it that much tbh like probably 10-15 mins with your favorite gun until u feel your warmed up would be good but I've realized I've had better reaction time and better aim when I play t hunt personally and im able to one tap players more vs when i just go in without warming up and playing t hunts and also try to aim head lvl more if u struggle with crosshair placement and I would also recommend changing your FOV settings as well that also helps with your reaction time in gun fights I think 80-90 is where u would want it depending on how big of a TV or monitor u play on and how close u are I personally use 90 it might take a little getting used to since it effects your sensitivity tho but good luck ik u can u do it also watch how athieno positions himself like he puts himself in spots where hes able to get angles on people pushing him but also has alot of cover behind solid parts of the map and how he sets up sites he really breaks everything down but it u will learn all that more and more with time I wish u luck
@@bullet-sm5gd aye I appreciate you for the advice fr, I been watching other people I wanna get a smoother sense I usually run 84 FOV so it’s nice and smooth but I’m tryna find the comfortable sense for me and I should start grinding T hunt but idk… my 5 stack always goes for the same sight set ups instead of tryna switch it up for example if we get fragged out on a sight set up they don’t try to switch it up yk and it never turns out good for us because we’re consistently going into overtime with most the players 😭 rn I’m low Gold 2 with a 1.0 kd but on my main I got a .8 😭 I’m tryna find the right sense before I run ranked on my main feel me but most the time I do down talk myself which is something I do gotta work on but I appreciate you for your insight bro thank u
@@iiryuu4091 np bro it's a hard game to get the hang of and I used to be like that running the same site set ups I've realized that u need to be unpredictable and think like a attacker like u gotta ask your self what would I do if I was attacking this while defending what angles would I hold what door ways will I go through and for your sense I would find one u can aim decent with and grind t hunt and get the muscle memory going it might take some time to get the muscle memory down especially on controller since movement is so limited its not as precise as mnk but t hunt improves aim imo and reaction time and that in turn helps u get wins and keep a good k/d bc I see a drop in k/d when I don't play t hunt I can go from a 1.2 k/d to a 1.0 or .9 even when I decide to be lazy
I've played this game on and off since release. The basics stay the same. 1 learn operator abilities and counters 2 learn map layouts (common set ups, common angles, etcetera) 3 train your aim (staying near head height and not mag-dumping) 4 pay attention to sound cues. (Breaches touching the wall before activation, crouching/peaking,) 5 TEAMWORK is the FOCUS of this game. 6 Try and keep a clear mind, getting tilted does nothing but cloud your judgement. It's okay to be mad, but move on.
You make this look easy, I thought I would be fine playing like I was in a normal match but no I couldn't be more wrong and also it sucked when I was on round 3 and my headphones decided they wanted to only play the music audio for rainbow
Bro after watching you I literally go 8k top of unranked almost every match lmao I'm wanting to go for top in ranked but had to make a new account due to my PS4 being stolen
Tips for improving aim on console? I’m level 175, played on and off since operation health, and my biggest weakness to this day is not winning the gunfights I need to. Any advice other than “lots of t-hunt” and “play more”?
Not going to pretend like I'm crazy good anymore but I hit diamond like x2 on na and eu PS4. For me I never had crazy good aim and the higher you go the more mnk so I'd say focus on map knowledge and by that I mostly mean being in the right place at the right time and holding things prematurely also including utility use especially if your like a smoke player
i bought the kingdom freak rings that go around your joy sticks and that helped a lot with having steady aim. not as good for flicks, but that’ll get better with practice over time
@@masonclaybrook1437 yeah I’ve gotten this advice before but I’m a bit apprehensive with changing my sensitivity and all that. And I use an elite controller with detachable magnetic thumb sticks so idk if those would be compatible with my controller
you need to make a video, of how to be more comfortable to play "off meta ops". im playing with a guy who HATES it when we play ops like sens, and grim. or anything "not proper". i ALWAYS love to play and learn, and risk winning to have fun, and try something new. but this guy, REFUSES to learn something new, and get out of his comfort zone. such a debby downer, and not a fun guy to play ranked with.
@@yorambo2857 im not sure yet, i have him, he is decent on some maps more than others, but randomly gets banned on ranked whenever i hop on, so like casual meta maybe. but just as usual ranked players ban new things so they dont lose mmr just getting used to a new map and new op. its been rough getting a new map new op ranked game for myself
@@rumpled4skin271 yh i played against him a few times and he doesnt seem that good.... i wish they just made an overpowered attacker if they are charging 25k renown. they always release meta defenders however
Dude I’ve been following your tips and strat ideas and trying my fucking hardest to adhere and figure out what I’ve been doing wrong in this game. that being said since I’ve started taking your advise I’ve gone from a consistent gold ii all the way down to silver and have been bottom fragging and getting fucked over all week to the point I no longer want to play this game anymore.
Any advice for someone who mainly needs to work on aim? I tend to know where people are and I am good with site setup and some strats, but my gunfights are abysmal.
Go into shooting range and try to get familiar with all the recoil patterns and which guns are good at what ranges. Also don’t forget to warm up in deathmatch, t hunt etc.
@@thenameslb7469 ur last ssn mmr (where u stopped playing) for example u was on 2900at the last day of the ssn, take that and add 2500 to it, then devide it by 2
And thats where you start the next ssn, other than that each placement match equals roughtly 100mmr so u can count where you at atm (my spelling is crap)
I just can’t play with the new ranked 2.0, I get into a game and I’m not a high ranking player, high gold or low plat at most, and the other team is just all ex champs and diamonds and I get slammed everytime, I have champs on my team sometimes and they suck so bad they cry and leave. I just can’t play good anymore
I know it’s a common excuse but I’m just stuck with the wrong teammates. Every time I duo or solo queue, I always get a bot or two on my team. I can’t control it but I don’t know what to do.
So can someone tell me even when I have a team I still loose and do all this and then I continue to loose 3 win 2 and loose 2 more then win 1 and loose another then win one and loose another?
i think you should make a video where you LOSE a solo queue game and talk about what went wrong and why it may be the reason why everyone loses their games
im very insecure about my voice, just turned 13 and think people wont take me serious which is why i use comms through text, it's a bad thing to be insecure, Anyway to break it?
For being insecure abt your voice i totally relate, but how to break this is kinda hard - you just gotta go for it and turn your mic on - you only have to say like one or two callouts to get used to it and trust me eventually it gets a lot easier, ive started speaking a lot more now (also, most ppl wont say anything abt your voice, im sure ppl will respect you for making callouts at all in solo-q lol so thats good) hope this helps
