I totally agree, giving up should never be an option. I'm a bad pvp'er but in recent games I started a roaming play style. I realized in recent games we lost because of string enemy roamers always nullifying our nodes, so I did the same and turned out I was able to turn my last matches. Being able to 1v1 or run away and come back later to decap forced the enemy players to constantly have one player fullcapping their home. Didn't expect it to turn out that well but it did. I learned the hard way that map awareness, staying alive and fighting on nodes kinda dictate a win or lose, however map awareness seems to be even more important than winning your fights lol
Sounds like you're learning quickly! I agree with you about map awareness - I think that's one of the single most important factors. Currently, I'm a solid player but extremely washed up & rusty from a two year hiatus. But I'm able to compete at the top level of play simply because I understand on a deep level the strategy of the game (map awareness.) It's legitimately a hack. I hope you enjoy the videos! If you're picking up a roaming/dps playstyle, then my content should be able to help you get top 250+. Thanks for watching!
Glad to have you back man! Great video, love the commentary. My morale in a game changes depending on how many consecutive losses I’ve had…lol. Eventually I just have to take a break.
Good to be back! Thank you for the support. Yes, I hear that. Sometimes you gotta take a step back. It really helps me personally to go back and analyze the videos. Let's say I have a 5 game loss streak - usually when I go back and analyze, I'll find enough mistake to have turned around at least two of them had I played correctly. Sometimes even 3 or 4 of them. That's super encouraging and keeps me motivated to play, knowing that I have more control over the matches than I may feel in the moment of the loss streak.
You were the final boss for the silvers who accidentally fell into an end game dungeon while level 10. Your teammates (no offense), were the trash mobs they manage to clear.
Great commentary. I wish more people did, explaining what their reasoning is and the like. I still don't have a clue how you keep an eye on their bugs and invulns and the the like as well as watching where they are and what they're doing. I'm certainly not at the same level you guys are, but I feel like I'm learning a lot. Would be nice to hear you explain a little more about your combos you use to get the damage and when you use one versus another. Thanks GREAT video!
Guild wars 2 is an extremely high skill cap game. It's hard to learn everything, and even harder to pay attention to it all! I appreciate the feedback, I definitely want these videos to be as helpful as possible for as many players as possible. I have a lot in store for the channel to hopefully help the playerbase start playing at a much higher level than it currently is. Thank you for watching!
Holy...good job for keeping it cool and continuing with the game, those teammates would make me swear so much during the game. I like to torture myself by playing shout heal guard so you can imagine how my games can look like when you have none to supp and you cant do shit on your own. good game :)
Willbender does not counter core thief. It's actually the opposite! Thief has enough either stealth or evade to set the pace of the fight and to engage/disengage at will, especially in the middle of a match. The only way a Willbender can shut down a thief is spear 5 knockdown which has a substantial cooldown. That being said, Willbender is extremely overtuned right now, and thief is undertuned, so that evens things up. But you are right about matchups being important! I have a video dropping soon where I constantly push my counter and get myself killed. Thanks for watching!
haha you're fine Gaxy! To be honest, most people have encountered either you or myself at some point, so it's pretty well known neither of us are cheaters. But yes, your favorite cheater is so back! 💪😎
@@Alexadria205 I actually mention something about that in my latest video! Usually I take the first enemy out of the fight as soon as possible to slant the numbers in my team’s favor. But to be honest, in this match we needed every possible advantage - so bleeding the downs was something that could have really helped.
Lmao that starting scenario feels so familiar 😂. Killed everyone, still lost the teamfight and the entire map
Hahaha this comment actually made me laugh out loud! You are so right. Why is this scenario so relatable for everyone? 😂😂😂
@MightyMicah this was the push beta in a nutshell for me xD. Downed three players in front of me, my entire party is down behind me

@@millelele Thanks for watching! I feel your pain. That’s why I swapped to a DPS role - I feel that’s the strongest “carry” role for ranked haha.
on 18:00 you can also say, you counter him hard. Thats a thing whats pretty importent too in pvp matchup

Nice video dude!
Thank you very much!

My favorite cheater is back 💪😁
P: I was just joking, then everyone thinks I'm insulting you or they believe what I said xD

Wouldn’t have given up but also wouldn’t have won lol
Keep grinding!
People really need to start finishing downs. Stop trying to bleed them out, you aren't a pro competing in a monthly AT.

willbender being a big noob stomper atm 🥲
@drios8809 It absolutely is. It’s a menace until you learn how to deal with it. Even then, it’s still super strong, especially when played well.
