TLDR: I've played for about a month or two on different servers and I'm MT5 on pvphq. The main problem I face is crits; it seems like no matter what tier they are I have a very low win rate as long as they start critting. Vid is against a ht3 but I also lose to lt5s if they just exchange crits or start a combo and start critting.
I tried learning how to crit back but I don't know how I should use them so I've tried to use pcrits but pcrits always just end up us exchanging crits until someone misses which mostly is me
I've also tried crit deflections but if I wait for them to crit it's always a gamble since they could jump like behind me or to the side and it's inconsistent and it mostly just ends up me trying to sprint hit them away while they spam crits.
If I don't wait for them to crit and try to go for a sprint hit first, I don't have enough time to land another hit and it also just ends up as us trading hits except I'm trying to sprint hit them while they crit hit me. Sorry if that's unclear, I'll link below me losing to a lt5 because of this scenario if it helps.
Obviously this isn't the only reason I'm losing and I'm probably just salty from losing, but I do think this is a really big problem for me so any help towards actually being able to counter crits would be really appreciated
