      Do you ever notice that your ping is almost a static number? Mine will constantly say the same number every game, go up once or twice, then go back to the same thing. The only time I see my true ping is when that connection warning appears in the top right.

      ​@@Greki agree because there is no way my ping is that stable. i have never experienced "static ping" in any other game, and i've been playing FPS for 20 years. i have my screen set to show me when i have a spike and packet loss, but i didn't see it say anything unusual when i played on labor day and repeatedly had desyncs lasting 0.5 to 15 seconds. bananas.

    The way I had it explained to me and how I explained it since is mostly through the 2D minimap, and then drawing a "rubber band" around your team and both teams. Lot easier to visualise because you can see both teams' rubber bands at the same time, and it's also super helpful for helping people think about their individual position on a macro level (ie. whether I'm stretching / breaking our rubber band).
    Love seeing someone do a video on this though and wicked that it popped up on the TL literally not that long after my team was having a chat about it.

    They way i see it, in football (SOCCER FOR NA) there are formations, 4-3-3, 4-4-2 etc.. There are 3 routes so you distribute the 5 players across those 3 lanes of the map (A and B sites and the middle lane) and you make a lineup, like a "default" in MM is a 2-1-2, dust2 for example for me the best formation as a CT is a 3-1-1, 2 long, 1 cat, 1 mid, 1 b. 2 players on long take long control, cat players secures cat lower for the guy playing mid watching top mid and the b anchor.

    Ok, i get that in rubber band theory you dont want to push multiple main entries because that would be breaking the rubber band. But WHY do you not want to break the rubber band? What are its consequences?
    With my experience I can maybe extrapolate why, b/c if one push fails youre left with an awful position to recollect.

    • @W1NDUR
      @W1NDUR 4 месяца назад +3

      Even if a push fails you gain info, I feel like the rubber band "theory" is just more of a principle to play by to have greater map control, it might even make your default more predictable.
      I would say depending on ur loadout/utility pushing both sides of the map at the same time can work if you have greater communication with your team, and you are certain or familiar with the team you are against, thats how I view it.

    • @Ocerry1
      @Ocerry1 4 месяца назад +20

      the consequences of a broken rubber band are that your players across the map are spread too far apart to effectively support eachother while also opening up too many vulnurabilities. Nobody can guarantee to win a fight or push so you need to have a backup plan and only take small risks. If have two ct pushes on both sides of the map and only one succeeds, that one successfull push was basically worthless because suddenly the other site is wide open for the taking and you as a team are too far apart to do anything over than attempt an uncomfortable retake because the Ts got all the info in the world from your pushes.

      @Ocerry1 4 месяца назад +9

      @@W1NDUR If you want to be really reductive "rubber band theory" is basically just a fancy name for the idea of "playing as a team". Not breaking the band means moving as a unit that is able to support each of its limbs at any given time while the point about not letting the band get too loose is just the very basic idea of going for map control as in dont give up space you are not forced to give up either by enemies or by having to break rotation to go for it.

    Maybe if you could provide real examples if you pushed while the site is getting rushed. There's definitely real patterns if you combine all types of actions being committed by a team every round and with extensive study you might actually come across a round where you remember that this round can be winnable with 60% rate if you do this

    As someone trying to improve on the game, I appreciate all tutorials, so thanks!
    But I don't understand. I feel like this is not a real explanation.
    You are stating the fact that if your teammates push on A, you should not push on B. Why? Because it would break the rubber band. This is an analogy, not an explanation. Why is it important not to push on two sides at the same time? If pro teams care about it, it's not because of a rubber band, but because of real in-game reasons, but you didn't state them.
    I think you only say it once properly, in the T side example on Ancient, but I feel that most of the time you present a situation you say it's something one shouldn't do because it will break the rubber band.
