good morning good afternoon or good evening whatever time it is in your
neck of the woods this is tony and welcome to today's video today will be the first
of many this is going to be a new series we're starting it's going to be tony wr's top 5 series
i have many many topics i want to cover but the first and most important is going to be
five tips on how to win more games and improve as a player these are tips and topics that i
cover in many of my videos in the past um as you guys know i like to include my mental process
and my uh approach to the game in my commentary i like to talk through my thought process
so you guys know what i'm thinking and what i'm thinking um and share little tips and tricks that
i learned over my years of gaming without further ado let's hop right on in to the first number
number five positioning and map knowledge you say tony what does positioning mean what does map
knowledge mean so positioning is putting yourself in an advantageous position
um to either win that gun fight or stay behind cover to not get hit
or know where to be when the opponent is pushing things of that nature so for example
there are some areas on some maps where you could shoot over cover that they can't shoot back um
if you also have flames or rockets and someone is behind cover you could shoot to either side to get
that splash on them also moving and navigating the map knowing which routes to take to put you at the
least um danger so like on springfield for example um i like to push up on the top platform section
why because it's a huge map um i run mostly a brawling hanger all close range weapons
um so i'm gonna try to keep my engagement short um if i run out in the open if i run to the farm and
run to center beacon um i'm at a huge disadvantage by the time i get there i'm gonna take on a huge
amount of damage and i can't return any of the fire so these people are getting free damage
on me because my weapons are close close range um so that is an example of what i mean by that
next number four know all your robots abilities cooldowns
range etc this also applies for weapons so what does this mean well this means so if you know your
robots cooldowns you know after you use your your ability you know you have to take some cover
and wait for it to recharge or put yourself in advantage position so you could avoid incoming
damage while you're waiting for that people could also use advanced healing in this time phase shift
things like that it's really important to know the other robots cooldowns as well
so when i first started i didn't know anything in this game so imagine i'm a brand new player
i started from the bottom up all the low-level robots you know fujins griffins khazax
all these things have minimal abilities but as you go up in the ranks the robots start to get
more and more complex with that complexity um it can be very very confusing for new players so it's
good to learn step by step as you're working your way up the ranks learn all these different robots
learn their cooldowns so when you're in these 1v1 fights you know okay this aries just use
his ability well he has i don't know 16 18 seconds 20 seconds whatever it is he has a long cooldown
now before his uh ability is going to recharge and adversely if you're fighting a nemesis you know
he's going to get his ability back in five seconds for example um so knowing these things is really
going to help you in those 1v1 engagements same thing with weapons if you see someone has cryos
you know you're going to be safe beyond 300 meters if someone has sonic you know you'll be safe
beyond 200 meters if you know someone has energy machine guns you know you're gonna be safe beyond
500 meters and knowing how much ammo they have is crucial as well so if i know someone's using
the punisher tees and i know they've been firing for a long time they're about to run out of ammo
but they're about to have a very long reload so i know that's probably a great time for me to push
okay on to the next subject number three play the obj aka the objective
knowing when and where for example knowing when to push and where to defend knowing when to attack
when to fall back things in that nature so if you're playing beacon rush your primary
objective is to capture those beacons and hold those beacons it's unlike domination because
you can spawn right back in on that beacon so if you give up your home beacon
um you're going to get a bunch of bunch of robots spawning in there people if they're smart
they're going to spawn in shells fenders invaders tanky robots so you can't get them out of there
next thing you know they're going to be spawning all their titans and you're spawn rated
and your team loss and you guys are in a world of trouble so that's what i mean by things like that
on to the next topic which is very very important number two respect the opponent and maintain your
composure so what i frequently see a lot of people do is they get cocky they get complacent
they don't have respect for their opponents in my experience in life and in gaming the moment you
lose respect for your opponent you have lost yourself you lose that competitive sharpness
you lose that keenness to being paying attention to what is going on you're no longer sharp you
don't have that fear you don't have that killer instinct you're complacent and it's just a
matter of time before you get taken out so it's very important to always respect your opponent
maintaining your composure this is also very important people always say tony i
don't know how you stay so calm in the midst of all this chaos in these battles
you guys see me on stream in my videos in the stream as well but mostly the stream i would say
i have so much going on i'm getting hit from a million angles and i'm calm i'm talking calm
i've been training to do that my whole life i mean this comes from real life experience and
gaming experience but in my experience overall um getting nervous getting tense and those
intense situations will lead you to failure will lead you to emotional and mental breakdown that's
when bad things happen in matches so what i do is i remain calm i see what's going on who who am i
getting attacked by where am i getting attacked from what can i do is there an opening where
can i move can i move around can i move around the flank and go take their beacon um things like that
always always always maintaining that calm maintaining that composure in the face of calamity
and chaos that is a huge huge thing all right on to number one and this is the most important
guys learn from your mistakes and your losses notice i put losses in quotations if you adjust
and learn from what just went wrong and why you can turn that l into a learning lesson instead
of a loss there's always something to be learned in any game in any life and whatever you're doing
we can't win them all we know this we know this in life we know this in games
it applies through universally but what we can do is learn from those experiences
learn why why was i winning 75 percent of the match and then it all fell to pieces okay well
i went and tried to push that fourth or fifth beacon when i didn't need to
i left my home beacons vulnerable they kept it they dropped the titan there spawn raided my team
and here i am by myself trying to get some spawn kills on them and i just threw the
whole match you need to understand the role you're playing within a match sometimes it's not to be
the assassin out there killing everybody sometimes
what the team needs is for you to just sit on that beacon even i mean if that means
nobody's coming over there right now you know that beacon's guarded and that beacon's accounted for
once you give that up you're given the match up because sometimes it's
you can't you can't bounce back from things like that especially in beacon rush
if you're playing something like tdm you know where the plane objective is to kill
the other people and not be killed well then your objective is a little different there
so going back to number three where i say play the objective in that game mode you
know it's cool to camp it's cool to hang back um it's cool to just you know wander in the
periphery and not really go out there because you don't have to defend those beacons as much
same thing in domination you don't need to worry about your home beacon as much is because you
spawn right there and that's easily taken back what you need to do is your secondary home and
center beacon those are your main focus and if they and if the opponent leaves their secondary
home uh beacon open and you could take that from center go ahead and do that um i wouldn't waste a
ton of robots trying to get back your home beacon in domination because it's easily uh gotten back
and your opponent can't spawn there so it's not as big of a deal now something like free fall for
example your objective is to get the most amount of kills in that match so what you need to do in
free for all is you need to play smart you need to be fast and aggressive and you did you need
to steal kills you being able to uh finish off kills in a quick and efficient fashion
it's not all about who could do the most damage and free for all so who can get the most kills
okay and um as far as that that will be our first top five installment as i said i have many
more planned i have a notebook in front of me with all the topics i plan on covering if you guys do
