Acorn Presents: Acorn in "Acorn Assault"

As requested by @TheSprinter85 🙂. @mikepal19 & @Gormey should also enjoy this Acorn Production, despite the obvious flaws. As I said in @mikepal19 's thread, I was a bit nervous at first and my play style is, therefore, a bit less aggressive. I was surprised a certain turret camping Engineer didn't expect me attacking him from behind after the 4th time, but I appreciated the opportunities it provided. Enjoy!

Stats: 27 vanquish streak, 28 vanquishes (even though I wasn't vanquished, there is a difference between the 2 stats?)

    I know my team was stronger overall, but some players left before I could take the screenshot I think there was at least one more high rank, but I'm not sure.

    @benn1nat0r Yeah that's why I hate TV, they always leave. But yeah fun game play. I always like watching people get a lot of kills.

    Do you use aim assist?

    @benn1nat0r I did like that Acorn gameplay. I would say that you were a mixture of aggressive (getting up close and harassing) and passive (attacking from a distance).

    Do you sometimes perform the trick where, as an Acorn, when you get low health, you jump on an Oak and use Lumber Support quickly to give yourself and the Oak some healing, then jump off and continue attacking?

    @Cameroid07 Thanks, I forgot about that!

    @mikepal19 I haven't changed the aim settings except the speed, I think the default is aim assist on? 

    @TheSprinter85 Yes, it was a mix of up close and impersonal 😃. I can play Acorn a bit more aggressively, but was a bit nervous and chose not to do it later, as there was an Engineer. My tactic for dealing with Engineers as Acorn, as can be seen in the video: 1) destroy the turret 2) judge how much ammo he has left 3) when he has to reload, use Acorn Dash to get close 4) Vanquish

    I have used the Lumber support tactic before, but don't recommend it. Your hitbox is all over the place when hopping on top of an oak and jumping off. Therefore, it actually increases you chance of being vanquished.

    @mikepal19 It was set to the weakest settings, so I changed it. Thank you for suggesting it! My aim is terrible anyway, in part due to my joint disease. I'm just happy I can at least play games most of the time despite my problems.

    @benn1nat0r Ah OK. Well this should help for sure. And try spamming LT/L2 when you have an enemy in your crosshairs and see how it reacts. Adapt your gameplay PRIMARILY to that and your aim should be a lot better.
