@gloomy steeple Here’s the vod btw. Wasn’t sure if you were waiting for me to send it to you or something. No rush to do it, just whenever you’re free

For sure! I actually might play tomorrow and get a more updated VOD to review
I've been getting my pacing/flow down better over last couple days
However if you're available and keen right now, please do. I'll take any feedback
I'm about to go to sleep so I'll read it on the morning

I'll go more in depth on next vod, just looking at more general aspects currently (you will be hella climbing if you play sova/fade at any level of competency at this elo)
is your mic not being picked up in this recording? nvm it is just actually that you're super quiet

okay theres 1 big problem you need to focus on
- You need to be way more vocal both in the pre round and mid round. A ping is not sufficient when droning, you should be pressing your push to talk and saying exactly what you say (if clear, how many etc)
- this includes making sure your team mate knows what the plan is and how to play off your util, you go for the A recon + drone multiple rounds but your duelists are frequently running past your drone and this is only because you said absolutely nothing in the pre round
- similarly when throwing util mid round, I'd like to see a call what you are throwing and what you're clearing (as well as any tags received)
- every round I can see a situation where you peek an enemy/get info in some way and do not comm it to your team at all. this is free value left on the table
your sova util is fine, but it is consistently getting no value due to the lack of comms surrounding it
your positioning is consistently slow, however I think this is less of a pressing issue compared to above (def number 2 though). after you throw recon/drone. instead of trying to find value from slow shock darts that keep you out of the fight, I want you to prioritize finding your nearest teammate who is about to fight and join them in the fight, there is too much free value being lost by not positioning yourself to actually use your gun.
as for ult usage, you tend to ult reactively rather than with intent. what I mean by this is when you drone, you should already be prepared to ult the moment you tag someone, in which case you should immediately cancel out of drone and hit ult. (recon is a LOT more situational due to only having two tags now, I'd suggest not thinking of recon + ult as viable unless you already know well in advance that the first scan will tag someone, in which case ult immediately after throwing recon)
Your mechanics are fine and I certainly see improvement from the past, don't neglect them and keep improving

I appreciate it @serene crest . I will go through the vod and look out for what you're saying and try implement it this week

Oh shit for some reason my mic wasn't picked up for this video
So much of my comms is missing. I'll mess with my audio recording settings and upload an updated VOD. Sorry about that
