Okay tell me why I'm wrong but I don't agree with counter swinging or what you said @27:44 because the way I see it the player who controls the cover or threshold in a fight should almost always win if they play it right. If you have the ability to break LOS at any time you want and your opponent doesn't you should always win that fight. BC if tou are being active/ making plays and peeking then they will always have to react to you peeking and no has a perfect reaction time. So while they are stuck with no cover out in the open/ the middle of a room you can choose when to engage and disengage essentially controlling the fight. And when you can control a fight thats how you can make good players look like bots. It doesn't matter how good you're strafe is or even if you try to predict and be pre-fire You don't know what they're going to do and you can't do anything about it because you have nothing to play off of when you're swinging out in the open or waiting for them to make a play which is always a bad idea in my opinion.
being against a wall is one of the worst things you can do if someone is fighting you in front of you. your options for movement are heavily restricted and assuming the opponents aren't bad (they actually swing into the room and not just walk through the threshold and take a million damage), they can easily force you into a corner or make you take a lot of damage if they also properly strafe. it can be advantageous to sit against the wall should your team have proper control of the room, but that is more case specific and standing still aiming like a turret will result in you being far more likely to take more damage and win by a lesser margin - additionally, counter swinging lets you engage the fight on YOUR terms. if they swing in the room but really close to you with shotguns but you have an AR? tough luck - but with a counter swing you can slide jump back deeper into the room reducing the effectiveness of their gun(s) and your own effectiveness. counterswinging lets you establish your own control over the fight; and that's where a majority of players fail. most fights lost, even at a professional level, are because of lack of initiation on one team's behalf. don't get me wrong, there ARE times where you want to sit against the wall but it's less common than counterswinging.
a question about 23:24, you say that they would keep moving left and if they did that they'd be moving in one direction and you'd get control of the situation cool. But wouldn't most players just start shooting you in they're in cover and you're in the open swinging them? like if youre shooting they can just duck down but if you're moving they can shoot back?
A lot of misinformed educational content teaches you that is always 'proper' positioning to be in cover, sometimes I hear it be described as 'having 2/5ths of your screen in cover'. A lot of times in fights, you will have to take damage to deal damage because opponents will ALWAYS be shooting you back. What we're aiming to do is minimize their damage output and/or (the distinction is important) maximize our damage output. Cover is usually better to take, but we HAVE to fight teams and push up in situations against opponents, and we don't always have cover to play. In fact, swinging our opponents like that denies them cover and sets us on relatively equal ground, but we have the luxury of strafing far more effectively than they can. Being 'out in the open' does not necessarily mean we are in a bad position. It's relatively complicated but I would recommend taking a look at this video on my second channel for some strafing stuff, it talks about the concept of dodge and damage intake/output: ua-cam.com/video/N1paN68NNTE/v-deo.html
i have a question… so like you said in most games anti mirroring is better but this is apex where we have an aim assist god on every team. do you have any tips on breaking my anti mirror habits?
HEY THATS ME
HEY THATS YOU

@@wrthcrw Right, I think that makes sense. You seem like you know what you're talking about. Want to hop into the range and talk about FPS strategy!?

hmm ill consider it
Just the first section and I already learned something ❤

I feel like i was just born again
It’s called bot lobbies…. Very easy to just play on a noobs steam account and change your name to make it seem like your own.
you're an idiot
we found the bot
ye i heard he did the same to get that lobby
