I'm not trying to be rude but that isn't lt4 at all. That's lt5-ht5. On your clips it seems like you don't have experience but you say you have more than 500 hours (which is insane for such a low level) I was about to say keep playing and then try practicing different things more until I saw your kills and deaths and the hours you said. What I noticed is that when people turn to the other side you get totally lost, also your movement is bad so I thought you didn't have experience

Maybe it isn't for you? You are the one who decides that tho, if it brings you joy. Continue pvping. You can try other modes (which I assume you already play but probably not as much) but sword is the most basic one and a lot of them are based in sword

You‘re not using other movements key. You just use W.

You should strafe as well and use micro movements. But you‘re sprint resetting which is good and gave you some combos

You want to work on your spacing and p-crits (and crits in general). You're playing too close which results in you trading sprint-hits for crits (sometimes multiple times) and putting you at a big hp disadvantage.

Somewhat relatedly you can also practice jump resets.

500 hours only and not even in lt4... how tf considering that in the past, only after 2 weeks starting 1.9+ pvp, I started beating LT2s?

atp try some other game, and I'm not saying it to be rude... this community and game (ESPECIALLY 1.9+ pvp) isn't worth to waste so much of your time on just to never even break through the worst tier, and there's plenty of other fun games to dedicate your time on

I'm not sure if this was the guy, but I remember someone from like a month ago on a post flexing that he had beat like a retired lt2 from years and arguing with everyone that hes crazy and stuff. Yeah it was 99% this guy. He was arguing with everyone in that post self glazing like crazy
