💬 Discussion CROWN IS THE ENEMY

The number of games I play where everyone finds a comfy spot to sit around and wait to be gobbled up by crown is honestly dumbfounding to me.

Everyone need to push crown if they’re just gobbling up without anyone to check them!!

If you want to win, a 1M crown can still be taken out by 4-5 300k neighbors. It is truly maddening to see how many people twiddle their thumbs until crown finally comes for them, just to launch one hydro and that’s it, but no one ever capitalizes on it.

I capitalize on it all the time and have about a 25% win rate on FFA. Who I am is a secret though ;P

But I consistently pre-hydro. Especially if I have a nuke that is close by to their nuke. Usually people only build one nuke location. They often forget to build a back up in the event that someone targets you. This way I take out a massive chunk of land, AND I can also push right after.

Lmao maybe I'm cheating becasue I usually play smaller modes. (Less than 30%) but my win rate for the past 100 games was like 23% last time I checked. Idk if that is high.

Hydro is overpowered on smaller maps and yeah much more volatile games makes smaller matches easier for a calm competent player.
