The key concept when playing psylocke is to toggle between frontal pressure and backline pressure/dive. Many people struggle to understand that dives or flanks dont work when there is not enough frontal pressure. You either die or get poked out easily, leading to downtime. Psylocke is a hybrid, not a pure flanker. Her kit lets her brawl and pressure tanks effectively. She is rarely flanking in high level games.
And also dash is not just for securing kills or running away, it can also be use to reposition and take off angles. By taking high ground, you can also target their backlines or anyone not in the support's line of sight, while being just 1 dash away from your team.
@@Davos-st8ok Would u recommend playing with team at first then pushing out (to backline) once there is space/opening or the opposite way around. Start in their backline then play team after? I kinda wanna start playing psylocke
@@magnusg-o8676 You can't start in the backline. That sort of gameplay is only viable in very low ranks where players are mechanically poor. You always start frontline because: 1) U dont know what comp the enemy team is running. If they run dive and you're not main, you're gonna be late to catch the dive. 2) You need to build your ult charge fast. Especially against triple support comps who are slower to get their ults up. 3) Frontlining lets you gauge the amount of prsesure being put out. You should assess the amount of pressure your team is outputting, and slowly inch towards midline and backline accordingly. Generally you want to be toggling between frontline and midline. Backline dives are only appropriate when your team has a strong 'turn' - that is your team uses abilities that gives them a huge spike in their pressure.
Shotty i love your videos i hope you get famous :) you really helped me improving in rivals more than any other youtuber has helped me. u also helped me realise its my problem and i blame less people noe because of you :)
Shotty's Gameplay Reviews. Then at some point you could branch out to reviewing other's gameplay possibly? Just a thought. Or you could keep it like the Yap Sessions and make it Shotty's Gameplay Sessions. Whatever you end up deciding, I'll be watching 👍
Love this video! Would be really cool if you did this for more characters, especially if you could do a tank and a strategist. Either way, super helpful :)
Hey dude, if u feel ur aim with Psyelocke isn’t up to par, I suggest aiming it like an smg or punishers rifle. Emphasize tracking targets with it as it’s just an auto shotgun
Shotty next vid can u talk abt branching out on heroes. I've been maining storm, wolverine and Bucky and ranking up like crazy cos they're all good this season but now I think I need to branch out heroes. I also play Groot, Thor and sue storm if needed
i didn’t realise i wasn’t subbed i’ve been watching you for ages.. sorry for not subbing for so long i’m reminding you to remind people to check the sub button for people like me

@@corruptedknight0 Exactly, dash to reposition. Always ensuring you can fallback to your supps for heals.
