1. Map awareness. Do you know all the camera placements for each map? All the call outs for each room? Are you aware you have a compass?
2. Sound. Do you know how to differentiate the distance between close and far an enemy could be?
3. Game sense. Attacking a bomb site, 2 entrances, what are your options and what are the enemy options on defending it? Where will they peak or play? Did you set your drone up correctly?
4. Knowing your role in a team. Do you know what each operator can significantly bring to the table in a given situation?
Some people can memorize a map after 10 matches, others take 50-100 matches
Everyone learns and adapts differently, you have to learn the maps, the weapons, the rock-paper-scissors relationships with the operators, but most importantly is you have to understand the kind of game you're getting into; a quick, but methodical team-oriented tactical shooter that can truly test your teamwork skills, confidence, risk-taking, stealth, cunning, and of course FPS talents.
This is no Call of Duty, this is no Battlefield, or Apex, or... well maybe close-ish to PUBG... this is a game that pushes new limits in a players abilities. And theres no better way to improve those abilities then practice.
Perhaps the game isnt for you. Perhaps you just lack the ability to push further into your potential skill. Or maybe (just maybe) you were like me, got too attached to your particular playstyle from past games, and have been locked down because that playstyle just doesnt work for Siege.
Take risks, make executive decisions, move quick, but think before you act; learn from your mistakes and if you regret something, swear to never make that mistake again. Push out of your comfort zone and find a new, better one.
We gamers have the ability to evolve. All you have to do is reach for it.
And one critical note i'd like to give about siege: There is no better video game that holds so dearly to the concept of "knowledge is power".. if you aren't confident in your shooting skills, consider operators like Mira, Valkyrie, Lesion... any operators that have tools to let you see or at least get a heads-up of where enemies are through cameras and triggered traps, and work from there
The best part of R6 is its complexity and constant changes, which means you can't just walk away for a year and come back and play at the same level. FPS gun fight skills are not everything in R6 - not by a long shot [pun intended].
Your question is 'how do [you] get better'. I feel you. It sucks some times, being 'stuck' in a bit of a loop. Maybe you just needed to vent some frustrations and fair enough. Some weeks are good, some bad.
If the question was serious (not judging: maybe you just needed to vent some frustration) then IMO you can get better at R6 by:
-Learning the maps. Seriously. This is arguably as important as shooting in R6. The goal of the game is to NEVER get in a head to head gunfight - it's to flank the enemy/wait for them to try to take YOU head on (and not the other way around).
-Watch some streams/pro league or challenger league. It's obviously not like watch pro league is gonna help much for 'strats' or whatever, but it WILL help considerably in small things that WILL matter like smart utility uses, e.g. less predictable but still useful Valk cam positions.
-Play more. Maybe this won't help in other ways such as your health but the reality is that if you grind, you will improve - however marginal that improvement will be.
-Don't be too hard on yourself. We're all playing for the gg's. Remember that. (Cheaters can die tho).
map awareness
hold tight corners
thats all you need to know.
The learning process is different for everyone, so be patient with yourself if you're not picking things up as quickly as you were hoping to. Siege has a lot of elements and little things that players with 1600+ hours are still figuring out, so don't feel bad!
If you want, you could peek into R6Academy [r6academy.ubi.com] and find some thing in there that should help you along!
