@GavinC85MUFC Yea go with bloodhound for the beginning he is a very strong legend that gives a lot of value to your team
Just play 4:3 sens and be done with setting stuff up, most top controllerplayers play 4:3 or 4:4

@matzesingt Actually 4:3 and 4:4 are not very good, and you should use advanced lol controls, also bloodhounds gonna get mega nerfed soon, so I would recommend switching.
- @BigMacAttack8u Last I saw almost all of the algs pros are 4 3 or 4 4 with either linear or classic. Many like verhulst tell people not to bother with alc settings.
@BigMacAttack8u Gotta jump on the bandwagon here. Maybe 4-3 Cl doesn't work for you, but a large percentage of pros aren't using it just for a lark. I don't like it either, but 4-3 or 3-3 (either classic or linear) is the starting point where I'd recommend getting used to the game from. I think ALC is not a good rabbit hole for a beginning player to go down. They need to learn the game, not to mess with a bunch of confusing sliders.
You'll find lots of good videos that mostly agree with each other for your in-game settings (outside of look and ADS sense settings). Certain default settings are fairly lousy for most players (a common example is getting kicked out of a death box upon taking damage, which can make armor swapping, one of the most basic combat skills, very difficult), and you'll find plenty of solid, basic advice.
If you do dive into looking at your look controls, you'll find a boatload of clickbait videos promising you "These ALC settings will make you play like a pro!!!" Avoid them entirely. Here is a video that does a great job of actually explaining concisely how all of the look settings work, without telling you what settings you should use. But I recommend what I said above - to start with some variety of the default look settings until you are comfortable with how to play the game. You'll have plenty of time to go into adjusting your look controls later.

I find the fine tuning of ALC to be great, it’s also a great idea to play around with your settings and find what feels the best for you. I like to look around really fast and have a quick build up when not aiming down sights, but but I don’t want the same for when I have like a 2x or 3x, so ALC is very important for my gameplay. I am just recommending that @GavinC85MUFC explore all the options and find what works best for them, as the presets barely ever feel completely smooth.
Which character should i use when not using bloodhound?
- @GavinC85MUFC Pathfinder and wraith are getting big buffs soon, but I personally enjoy gibby for no reason, you really have to test the waters for yourself, I can only provide basic insight as it is purely your preference.
Be prepared to grow thick skin to play this game. You'll find yourselfing playing and 3-4 hours just went by but when you look back you only really enjoyed 2-3 games the whole evening.
Most random teammates are just as challenging as the enemies themselves in many ways you'll realise.
You'll find most think they're 1v3 Pros and expect you to be their personal revive assistant.
I recommend learning the characters with escape abilities first for this reason as you'll often face squads alone.
