Mouthbreathing chapter 1: weaken your position

In order to master the practise of moutbreathing, one tactical technique you must ensure you always employ is weaken your position.

Always ensure you are disadvantaging yourself and your team by leaving strong positions in favour of attacking enemies who hold strong positions, from weak positions.

A good example, is leaving a safe shielded spot inside the 2nd to last ring to shoot from the ground at an enemy squad on a roof who have Rampart barriers and a Caustic dropping NOX cannisters on your head. 

Attacking enemy squads who have high ground or are holding other strong positions is arguably a prerequisite. 

You should now begin feeling the first wisps of cool air tickling your lips and tongue.

    @1ronKeys I'm surprised you still play bud. I've honestly quit and just lurk on the boards waiting for more good changes to come out. Nothing else to do? What's goin' on here?

    @pastaclown I just want it to be enjoyable again. I only keep coming on because i want to post my ultimate 'why constant rubbish teammates means I'm quitting', but i end up no time to post and dont wanna post whilst raging.

    I got something else to do, but gets a bit late to do it, so reserve this time for "chill / fun" .. apex used to be the game i played after games, for a more lighthearted enjoyable time. But now i don't want to play it. It's unenjoyable.

    @1ronKeys I feel you, I remember back in Preseason, S1 and 2 when I'd play this game for hours at a time, constantly having fun and improving. Every season since 3 has just felt like a chore to play. I worked my rear off to be good, not even great or professional level, just good, and the matchmaker matches me with some smooth brained, drooling, "I'm the next Shroud despite the fact I never practice and average 150 damage a match!", type of player. 

    PS, S1, S2, no complaints about teammates or who I was matched up against. It's completely random, crap happens, I have no faith in my teammates but I'm gonna work my rear off and try to carry against whatever they throw at us because that's how you get better. 4.5 K/D PS, 4.0 S1, 3.5 S2. As more people get better, my K/D went down, which was fine, it never dropped below 3.5.

    S3-6. There's absolutely NO way these people are similarly skilled in any aspect. No aim, poor decision making, poor reaction time, poor planning and rotations, etc. etc. How do I get better from here when I constantly play against the best (Diamonds / Masters / Preds, I even fought Aculite and crew in a game 1v3 and got a knock), yet get matched up with these people? 2.5 K/D S3, 2.2 S4, 2.1 S5, 1.98 S6.

    @1ronKeysDo you ever get good teammates?

    Genuinely about once every 100 games. Or once or twice evety 3 weeks.

    Genuinely.

    And that either amounts to them being roughly equal to me (and somehow i often end up with the more kills and dmg), or someone who completely runs away with it. Rarer occasions i get teammates who i find it hard to keep up with, but I'm never a detriment in these situations - don't get constanrly wiped or downed just late to the party sweating my balls off.
