How to Rank up

Very in depth look at how to rank up.
The guide was pretty good except for a few things I believe could potentially be added or fixed. During the strategy portion you definitely made an error not including map or mode guides. Splats matter to an extent but the most comfortable player in a situation will end up getting the splat, meaning that first the player must get in a good situation. Overall I think if players have played this game enough to get to Level 15-20, they probably know most of this. When you mentioned the positioning, most of it was pretty broad but then again, this guide overall was keying many points. I did like most of it and thought you did an awesome job though!
This guide was good, but definitely flawed. It was your strategy section that was the most inaccurate. If you are distracting two of the opponents and spreading ink outside the zone, or if you are defending a flank in rainmaker or tower control you could potentially win your team the game, especially if more than one player is trying to pierce your defenses. Another tip would be ink behind an opponent(or ink one of their exits) if you see they outrange you and are engaging another teammate. This essentially leaves them trapped(or with less options), and amounts basically to an assist. Overall a pretty good guide though.

Thanks for the feedback! And I completely agree with you about distracting two enemies and inking around their zone. I guess I wasn't clear in the article that by going after the objective, I basically meant to not do things that aren't related to capitulating it. I would consider holding a flank or distracting two enemies objective-based play, so I didn't really explain how that fit into it. Thanks for pointing that out I'm going to add that into the guide.
