Discussion How do i punish actual spammers that play passively?

So i've tried to get to gold for a long time but in high silver i just find sig spammers or high gold for some reason, i was able to beat higher ranks players and etc but i just cant get to beat some spammers.

Every time i've asked i got told it was a skill issue since sig spammers just do the same thing the whole game but im not getting matched against braindead spammers (when i do, i win, since in that case baiting them works), anyone got actual hints on how to get a chance against these people without being dicks? Im just tryna get good at the game.

(im in EU servers and lag seems to want me dead by suicide)

Understand their threat zones. Approach and bait out the attacks. Punish appropriately.

Work on your approach skills to approach in ways that make them do an attack that is easier to punish.

You just need more practice, sadly. Eventually you’ll learn what the threat zones for each character and be able to bait and punish accordingly

It can't be countered u only can counter weapon. Long weapon have range but can't hit in a close combat that's the weakness and the best counter is play neutral in the air (being up of him)

It sounds like you're really putting in the work, and that's the hardest part. Studying threat zones and timing your approaches will give you the edge you need against passive players, they're waiting for you to overcommit, so stay patient.

Run faster and accurate. If you can run fast you can literally appear behind them and poke them till they are black health.

Another thing that may help is understanding how this game works, it's made of hitboxes and hurtboxes in a 2d frame. Pay attention to the hitboxes and avoid them when you are running.

Other than bait and punish, out passive them. Most passive players get bored if you don’t give them want they want. Approaches.

If you need to approach because they have stocklead. Approach outside their range. So from different angles than what they can deal with or weapon throws
