So much good advice here. But let me be the first to say, following all of it to the letter will get a normal player to high gold or low platinum. There is a reality at work here that most high-ranking players are completely unaware of because it can only be understood by being on the outside looking in: through different brain wiring or pure black magic, you land shots normal people cannot land. Ditto movement. You have speed and precision that are beyond that of mortal men (and women). And please, whatever you do, do NOT say that all of this will come with practice. It doesn't and it won't, for the average player. I wasn't kidding when I said your brains are wired differently. They are.
But what I will say is that if people followed all of your good advice then the quality of matches in this game would rise exponentially. I grow tired of my squadmates enthusiastically making mistakes I stopped making four years ago. And refusing to follow the lead of a vastly more experienced player. Not that they would know that I am because none of these kids ever even look at a banner in the lobby or would understand why they would want to or what it could tell them about what's going to happen to them in the next few minutes.
So while I admire your signature confidence, my game inspires only signature resignation.
But still, good job.
