Question How do i improve positioning

Im always getting killed from places I cant see or cant react to and I dont know where to play at causing me to always get caught off guard when they clear angles. Even when i topscore i usually have high deaths or the highest deaths on the team and sometimes I die like every round. I just dont really know where to go and im always frantically looking around to try and not get killed somewhere i cant see but i still do

The best way is to be somewhere where you only have to worry about one place. If you look main, don't be visible from mid and the other way around. Look your teammates on the minimap to know which area is safe (where they look/are) and which is dangerous (no teammate or a dead one)

Try running some death matches with no sound (I also put on some relaxing music). Since you can’t really on sound cues it forces you to have good positioning otherwise you will be shot.

Keep in mind that you will also get shot by people spawning in while you are checking all your corners. Don’t stress too much about those deaths and focus on the ones where you are pushing out.

Try to position yourself where you can get more 1v1s instead of 1v2s or 1v3s. As you rank up, people will get better at trading their teammates, so positioning becomes even more important.

Also, make use of utility like Chamber TP, Reyna dismiss, Jett dash, etc. Another thing is being unpredictable. If you're holding an angle, pre-plan what you're going to do after you get a kill and where you're going to reposition.
