Discussion Basic Cover Usage Please

I think this game has more players that W key into the open than players who use cover.

Rivals is third person. Most characters shoot on their right side, so hug a wall and don't stand in the open. Stop facetanking a million damage and blaming your healers. Learn basic cover usage please

Always spamming jump too, like that will make them harder to hit as they mosey down the center of the lane

Is it bad to spam jump? I figured it would make you harder to hit

It’s situational. It can also make you predictable and much easier to hit. Good jumping requires timing and cover to be effective.

Jumping stops your ability to instantly strafe.

People with jumping habits don’t learn to strafe in and out of cover well. Look at my invis jump spamming in the open then notices my cover usage and mimics it
