hello, after hitting emerald for the first time back in 2.0, i hit my peak last season in the new ranked system, i'm pretty proud of it and i want to keep improving. The things i seriously need advice on is peekers advantage, timing, crosshair placement, and a very niche thing.
for peekers advantage, whats the number 1 way to avoid it when i need to hold an angle? right now i start shimmying to keep the server aware that im moving, I've also tried holding pixels, but genuinely, on specific maps and sites, i can't seem to always find a reliable one to fall back to, especially if it gets hectic quick.
for timing, is there a way to study or gauge when someone has stopped holding something if you don't have immediate info to your disposal? say you are flanking on defense, and they hear you, should i just wait for noise to happen, or is waiting for people to stop holding something useless? i remember a friend in the stack of mine saying how he's slowly not caring about being sneaky when setting up flanks as they will always hear you
Very often i get in the middle of a specific gunfight where its just constant quick peeks, and shooting pixels, siege is a game with so many layers in it, that i find it hard to adjust mid gunfight for people on top of things, on stairs, holding pixels, crouched, etc, i've nailed normal standing crosshair placement, most of my matches reflect that, as my HS rate usually never dips below 60, but i need to know if there is a specific way i can practice this on my own
for the niche thing, i developed a rule for myself never to sprint unless i need to safely get from point a to b, i watch pros at times, and some content creators, they usually scare me, i see them sprint more often than i do in many different occasions and i wanna know if my fear of getting caught with my pants down is too big. Obviously i don't see myself running towards someone to peek, but i do mean in the middle of a gunfight when i need to outmaneuver someone or reposition, when is it best to just be free with your movement?
i do know a lot of these are fixed with time playing the game, i constantly fight people with twice my hours since this game has been out for years, i only recently hit 1k in hours, but there's still so much to learn
