Hi ya everyone this is OFF | ynnaD or you can just call me danny. I am making this thread to try and give tips and advice to clans that may have trouble in being successful but want to get better but not sure what they may be doing wrong. As part of one of the better clans on squidboards I am going to express my opinion in why offshore is successful and what we do as players for the team. These are only my personal opinions if you think different that is ok but my goal is to just say what I think makes us a good team. You may also post your opinions to add to this if you think I missed key details.
Call outs:
Easily the most important ability skill each player on your team should have. All 4 members of your team should be able to communicate with each other and express whats going on around them when something happens. If they get kills they should be saying so. If they die they should be saying they died what area they died in and what killed them. Details that seem extremely important should be stressed to everyone such as: "a person is coming to our closed to flank, Kraken is in our zone moving to such and such location, 96 gal has kraken" these are things I try most importantly to mention while playing with my teammates. Also calling out locations of where the enemy team is and where they are moving are important which I think sniper mains should be calling out the most but are not limited to them we all should be but they have the best point of view.
The ability to get kills and playing smart as well as weapon compositions:
This skill is probably the most important skill because this is I feel determines if a team is a top team or just an average team. Offshore is good with there team work but what makes us good is our own individual ability to win fights that we need to win and make plays on our own. Your main goal as a player I feel should be to know your weapon. What ever you play you should have a roll and should always be aware of your weapons abilities and when to approach and when to get the hell out. an example: say your playing nzap 85 vs a 56 gal and he throws a wall up what should you do? obviously u dont want to charge in head on to challenge it you will want to evade him if possible or even use your sub weapon the splat bomb to throw over or into the wall to get the potential kill or make him move away so you can stop his movement and push him back. You should be looking at the enemy's team comp at the start of the game and be aware of what they have. Don't be afraid to make a call. If you get 2 kills lets say you should be saying to your team "2 down lets push the point" what ever the point is. If your team starts dieing you as a player should be focusing on the objective and staying alive for your team to stall so they can get back into the action to help to stop the opponents push. Your specials I shouldnt have to say but are extremely effective. Dont be afraid to use it and even farm for it to make pushes and to stop enemy pushes.
what you wear:
This one is not as important per say but what you wear is still key. When ever you play vs anyone I feel like you should always be wearing the cold blooded ability (only exception to me would be snipers since you almost always no where they are anyway). Being tracked basically means you are useless since the opponent team knows where you are with echo locator meaning they can surprise you easily or you become an easy target for the enemy sniper is they have one. If you opponent doesnt have an echo in first game you can consider removing it if you so wish to. As for what you wear there are alot of abilities you can choose from and honestly it depends on your weapon and what suits best for it. Its also personal preference but what you wear should help you and your weapon be effective in combat. Key things to point out with gear: Attack, Defense, Stealth Jump, Quick Respawn, Run speed, Swim speed. These are abilities that i feel affect the meta and as a person that loves gear and enjoys rolling for rare gear its important to point our these skills. Attack on certain weapons such as tentatek and 52 means they want to keep there ability to 3 shot you. In response dont run defense but run swim speed or run speed to out maneuver them in close combat. if you see someone with defense and it makes ur weapon an extra shot to kill them be aware of this and either stack attack or increase ur speed and be aware that you may take an extra shot to kill. Stealth jump is pretty underrated especially in tower control. But in tower I look for this specifically so I make sure to let my team no "hey they got stealth jump so be aware of this around tower". Quick respawn is probably my favorite ability in the game. The less time you are in spawn the better it is for your team and trading is a win for you if you have it and they dont but you have to be aware just cause you have it you shouldnt be looking to rush in and die you still need to be smart and effective.
I think these are probably the most important aspects that make us as strong as we are and are just the very basic things we do as a clan. As I said earlier you can post any additional information that you may think help a team become stronger. I really want to see other teams being able to make it to the top so this community can become bigger and stronger instead of seeing the same teams over and over in tops. If you have a question you can leave a comment or pm me if you so wish to. Thanks for the read and hope this helps ~.
