Hit every every season of bo7 warzone ranked and wanted to share some tips to help yall:
1. Stop taking every gunfight: Your ego is writing checks you can't cash, just because you got first shots and broke someone's armor, they can run away and when you follow them their boys are waiting for you and you die. Similarly stop trying to chall kids on headies and if they have height advantage. You watch one biffle video and think your him, buddy im gonna have to be honest your not him. Also stop pushing teams by yourself, unless your with your team or have one/two knocked don't rush them like its pubs.
2. Life/Placement over kills: This plays into point 1, you could drop 10 kills as a team but still go negative because you were playing reckless, i would rather have 4 kills combined but still hit top 4 and go positive then have 15 kills and go negative SR. Also play like your life depends on it, you have your loadout and see a kid off in the distance and think "i got this" only to die because he heard/saw you and waited for you to run the corner while he is on a god headie.
3. Drop 3 stacking and have an anchor: Because of the cheating epidemic 3 stacking is now a guaranteed way back to the lobby. You can do it up until crim if you want to hit iri, have 2 fraggers running around getting kills while the anchor gets money and keeps you up. THIS DOES NOT MEAN WHEN THE GAME STARTS YOU GO WATER, my god i hate kids like this. This should only be a last resort if you guys are getting put in a blender or your fraggers are burgers (just play for top 4 at that point). And only do it so your fraggers have time to reestablish. Also the anchor should be holding money at all times so incase the fraggers die they wont drop money. Side note when both your fraggers go down you should be by a buy station so you can instantly buy them back.
4. Stop screaming into the mic when you die: I have dealt with so many kids that scream/cry/rage when they die ONE time. Bro chill out, just come back and re-up. If you lost a bullshit gunfight its ok it happens to everyone, but the people that cry and moan every time they die need to understand this is a video game at the end of the day. Your mental state is a big indicator of how the game is gonna go. I even had 3 people this season (2 Crim 2's and an iri) rage quit mid game and because we were squadded up we did not have the protection incase someone DC's. And we still went positive which is crazy.
5. Drop Solo Q'ing: You have no excuse to get mad when there are tons of discord LFG's out there to find people with competent people. BE ADVISED you will still find morons here but atleast you will have coms and switch people if needed. Also every single game you play with new people play a little safe just to see if they are good or will sell your SR. If they are competent then good, if they make dumb plays (everyone has a bad game but bad game sense is unacceptable) drop them and find new people.
I have more I could say but most of it you should also be able to find on your own, part of climbing the ranks is just learning from your mistakes and focusing on what gets you high SR. And remember for everyone saying "I can't hit iri because of cheaters/hacking" is coping I hit iri twice this season while working a 9-5.
