Thanks for the advice!honestly just get consistent practice, ask for advice/coaching, and scrim others
it takes a while to “get good” as the kids say. while i’ve improved a lot in comp and individually over the last 6 months or so, i still have a LOT further to go. it’s ok to take time
We are a European based team so because of that we haven't yet had the chance to do a scrimmy team could play against yours sometime and give some advice if you wanted— i’ve seen some of your posts on scrimboard. when do you usually scrim?
Honestly no we don't have a coach because most of us think we know our problems (I dont) but I suggest oneDo you have a coach? If not, having one could help you recognize from an outside perspective what things need improvement.
Aside from that, doing vod reviews as a team and individually can also help, you don't need a capture card thanks to the wonderful feature added in S3.
You can also try to scrim higher level opponents and participate in more open tournaments. Even if you lose early, there's learning that only comes from tournament experience. And if you have a close set during a tourney, try and ask the other team to become scrim partners.
Thank you!If there's ever a close set you've played...
Otherwise, make sure your team is playing together a decent amount and practicing in open at least a little bit outside of when you play together just to keep mechanics sharp. Practice is mandatory in order to get anywhere. If you aren't already, make sure you're joining tournaments like Little Squid League and Low Ink I'd join before anything else since those are going to get you more matches against similarly-skilled teams. Some tournaments that only allow people who "aren't LSL banned" or "aren't LI banned" that are for a similar skill level to those two.
- Ask the opposing team if they want to scrimmage at some point
- Review a replay or two to see what plays you or you team could have been done better (although this can be hard for some people, so don't be afraid to ask others for help here)
- Consider if your comp lacks something, like if it has any especially hard matchups or doesn't have certain specials
Actually I guess I'll make a second bulleted list for this lmao. Take this one with a lot more grain of salt since this is purely coming from my experience as a Splatoon player where I'm much newer and still just alright as opposed to general improvement stuff I've picked up from playing other competitive games that I talked about in my last post in this thread.comps need a lot of factors (like damage, range, paint, bombs, pushing power) and i’m not sure i understand all of them yet… i would love it if someone made a guide on it but idk those are all things to consider
Play literally every tournament you can. Doesn't matter if you go 0-3 first round and get dqed just keep playing them. Losing is probably better so you can vod review and look back at what mistakes you're making and address them in practice.I've tried new weaponds, made my gear more meta, and trained for a while, and yet I feel like I'm every tournament everyone is rolling me over lol
one thing I'd add to this is get lots of perspectiveshonestly just get consistent practice, ask for advice/coaching, and scrim others
