Viper bind. plat1

[agile dragon]

hey hope you are all doing well 🙂
im looking for some help with bind so some reason i dont play much bind and it really shows i would love some fe back on what i should be doing more or less of.
this was a high plat-dia lobby note we did have a imo2 and my comms are super low in the recording i lowered them in the outplayed settings and it was too much so you may not be able to hear my comms but i can insure you i was calling out ect... had W teammates too

(Video processing time of posting sorry for that)

[main bane]

Hi so I just checked out the defensive half and i think I have some input here

1. Not sure if it was the mic issue, but I couldn't see very many pre-round comms. The rounds that you did comm pre-round, you typically had a higher conversion
2. You are typically always playing alone. This works and is a good thing to do on Viper...sometimes, but I felt like 70% of the rounds, you were all by yourself and unable to be traded by teammates

What I mean by #2 is that it feels very natural to take up spaces on the map that your team is not taking up. But in higher and higher elo, you will typically get punished for doing that without concrete info.

E.g. you push up B long alone; now your team sees 2 at A short, and you decide to walk up more. What happens when 2 other agents swing you on B long? You're at a numbers disadvantage and typically will be lucky to get 1 kill even

TL;DR you want to be playing numbers advantage. Grab a buddy and walk up with them if needed

3. Their team has 2 pop flashes, you need to respect that and identify when you are in a flash zone. On this map, hookah is the most common flash zone. When phx or skye pop flash in, both you and your cross fire buddy are gonna be blind and the plan falls apart very fast

Offense I think its the same 2 things I mentioned for defence; you're not playing with your team often enough and taking dry gun duels in typically untradeable situations

Also I really like your preround wall (i'm definitely gonna steal that in my games), but you're unintentionally creating a great flash zone for the enemy because they pop flash from one side of your wall to the other and its a free blind on 3-4 people
