Brutally Honest Tips Low Elos Need to Hear

[00:02] time studying and watching bots, and as a result, I quickly climbed from silver struggling with games myself and coaching thousands of players in low elo, I have a pretty good idea of what holds low elo players back. So, for that

[00:16] reason, I've made a list of five game-changing tips I wish I'd known in these tips earlier, I would have climbed even [music] faster. So, pay attention could be what you're missing to escape your current rank. My number one advice

[00:30] for low elo players is to narrow down your focus. Don't make the mistake of aspects of the game at the same time. If you try to learn new lineups, of the game at the same time, you're likely not going to see results fast.

[00:43] at first, if you've been stuck in low elo for a while, then playing multiple agents is probably not going to work out. If your goal is to improve and win agents quickly so that you can spend your time focusing on your mechanics and

[00:57] in ranked, you need to know your setups, know your cooldowns, and know how to use it. But that's precisely why you shouldn't play a different agent every ranked, you shouldn't be double- guessing your entry path and utility

[01:10] another agent. But if you know what you the enemy movement and on your mechanics to actually win key gunfights. I also anymore, so you might have a job or go to college and you don't have infinite

[01:24] of you guys who aren't grinding crazy hours, changing agents often isn't a on one agent for each map in the rotation pool that you're 100% allin on.

[01:36] make sure you have a good idea of what you'll do in each round. And as a side note, try to avoid focusing on complex utility reliant agents like Astra when you're in low ELO. She requires a bit more team coordination, which is very

[01:49] Now, if you think that you already have a good agent pool, but you're still exactly sure what you need to focus on, my team of Radiant and PCT coaches can give you feedback inside our premium 10-week immortal romap program. Our

[02:30] and see if we'd be a good fit. Now, I've noticed that most low elo players struggle with this next specific issue. If you're playing defense and your team over. And you see this happen every single game. You're standing on sight,

[02:44] lost shortly after. These are all free rounds that you're throwing. And for players stuck in lower ranks is to learn how to handle a sight push and a retake. Most coaches or videos don't mention this, but there are two types of retakes

[02:57] can flood the site, and the other is in which you are locked out of the site. If you have players still alive on a site while it's being attacked, you should you shouldn't wait for your other teammates from other sites to come in if

[03:10] However, [music] as soon as you do lose that sight player, you lose information about where the attackers can be on site. Therefore, waiting for the enemy smokes and utility to run out while also waiting for your

[03:23] teammates to rotate and flank. This is a very simple but important difference to ranked because the teammate is either standing off site and not helping their running in alone after someone has already died and the enemies have

[03:37] site. For example, a round can go from a somewhat winnable 4v4 to a 4v3 because Timmy wanted to go Rambo and run through the CT smoke to take a 1v4 fight. to rotate or flank so that you guys can all use utility at the same time to go

[03:53] also times when waiting [music] to retake until a flank comes around will give you an opening. For example, waiting for a hookah flank on bite bind may take one enemy's attention away from holding CT and elbow to make the retake

[04:06] [music] easier. I know it's often your teammates who make this mistake, but communicative and ask them to wait while you rotate. And of course, it's not don't always listen, but that's all you

[04:18] your retakes, and you'll see how these simple rounds stack [music] up. And one way to make your commas even more effective is to avoid playing solo every game. I can't overstate the importance of my third advice for low elo players,

[04:31] not any kind of duo. If your friend is constantly complaining or blaming other mindset and ultimately get distracted, which ends up making you play worse and not even enjoy the games. Instead, try to find a good, positive duo who makes

[04:45] everything easier. Even if they might not be the best player, they won't blame game. And you can even try to bounce ideas off of each other to learn the game faster. So, to find this kind of duo, how do we find them? And how do you

[04:58] abuse duo Q to escape low ELO? If you prioritize winning over everything else, things. Number one, can you rely on them to do their job in game? Number two, do play with them? And number three, are they playing with you or only focusing

[05:12] like-minded players who are serious about improving and more importantly, want to work together. My free Discord server is full of motivated and friendly players. Simply put a message in the LFG chat and start [music] networking. And

[05:25] another way to find great duos is to network the old-fashioned way. Every best performing player in the match. You don't need to stick with that player forever, but just try duoing with different people until you find a

[05:37] And once you've got a solid duo, start building simple rehearsed plays together. For example, pre-planned aggression is a huge edge in low elo as it can catch many people off guard. And you can pair agents that naturally sync,

[05:50] for example, breach, ko, or sky with another movement duelist like rays, jet, way or yoru. And you guys can even use Val plant or custom games to map out your entries. It's also essential to keep the coms basic. If you're the

[06:03] duelist, you can ask to flash when you get a specific spot, or if you're an utility lands and when. Even quick dry runs in a custom will make your hits, retakes, and defensive aggression way smoother. And lastly, having a dual

[06:16] together. For example, if you want to secure a 2v1, you can simply say, "Let's done with crossfires. By standing in opposite directions at an angle and impossible to kill against a single player. These techniques can be executed

[06:31] it is much easier with the duo we're used to playing together. And even if it's not easier at first, you guys can build synergy over time. Now, this next advice might be a bit controversial, but it's true. Speaking up and controlling

[06:44] ELO. And even though language barriers servers, you could climb in any server by simply giving good call. If you set a good mood in the call and give the right solution when no one else knows what to

[06:57] do this, you first need to become a problem solver and think analytically about your games to come up with logical solutions. Let's give an example. You see that your cipher is getting run over every round on Sea Haven, leaving you

[07:10] [music] you must first identify the problem. And in this case, our C site hold is weak. So, we need to determine the solution, which in this case is to long-range utility or move players away from other sites. However, I know most

[07:24] recognize the problem in your game. In fact, the advice here is mostly about working with difficult personalities. You don't have to like your teammates, but either way, you need them. Even if they're reluctant to work together, you

[07:37] to navigate your team environment, you won't be able to have any effect. So, listen to us? Well, first of all, if you're at the bottom of the scoreboard, here. Your team might not listen to you if you can't pull your own weight. So,

[07:51] EOS does actually help a bit. And secondly, be polite. Don't try to teammates. I found that even if I don't like a teammate, trying my best to be unhatable goes a long way in getting people to work with me. And as weird as

[08:05] it sounds, it simply means saying please and thank you. It also means respecting around everyone to do exactly what you want them to do and get frustrated at likely to follow your calls. So, I strongly recommend giving an idea, then

[08:19] letting your team create the plan on their own by asking open-ended something like, "I think Cipher needs help on C. You want to try playing with not everyone's going to be helpful, and some will frankly refuse to communicate,

[08:31] but you must identify those who are possible to work with and those who who are willing to work with you, you want to maintain and keep up that line comedy is a great way to bring back a

[08:44] afraid to joke around. Now, we need to admit that sometimes your team isn't even that bad. You might actually be the one struggling in your games. Maybe you from playing [music] like you used to. So, if you're stuck at the same rank for

[08:56] a long time, it might be because you're held back by your mindset and the obsessive drive to rank up as fast as possible. This might seem like an odd topic to discuss when talking about a game, but most of us have invested a lot

[09:08] of time and effort in our ranks. So, at the end of the day, it matters to us. If doing it because you enjoy the game. But sometimes our pursuit of a rank can actually need to enjoy playing. Having fun with the game leads to better

[09:21] mechanical execution, and more creativity in the plays that we choose to make, and all of which are conducive to entering flow state. And if you don't level of focus that [music] makes it feel like we're completely absorbed by

[09:34] achieved only when we're enjoying what we're doing. When we first start playing fun with the gameplay and we don't even care about winning that much. We're not feel satisfied by hitting some head shot, learning some new plays, learning

[09:47] new facts about the game, and outplaying opponents. And over time, we get used to brings us some satisfaction is ranking up. But if you only focus on the goal, you'll never truly enjoy the process of improvement and you won't actually end

[10:00] up achieving your desired outcome. So my solution to this is to set specific mini goals for each ranking before you play. For example, your goal might be to make or maybe to focus on the distance between you and your teammate to make

[10:13] sure you can trade them or be traded by them. If you focus on these small side matter that much as long as you're achieving your smaller improvement ideas for making Valerant more enjoyable in the comments down below. And if you
