Let me know your thoughts on the editing for this video! I'm trying to find a permanent editor and this is the first of a few I'm going to test out. If you know anyone that might be interested in editing videos that is also somewhat knowledgeable of competitive games such as The Finals, Overwatch, Smite, Deadlock, or really any others that's even better.
I just started playing this game this week. I play a medium-support character with a healing beam and things like flashbangs and am using the Famas. Lights can counter this build easily if you aren't careful. A few things I've learned to stay alive. Number 1. Do not be predictable. If you peek from the same spot after going to cover instead of changing positions, you make it easier for lights with high dps weapons to burn you. Use cover and stay away from open spaces and relocate and attack from a different angle. This is really useful against snipers. If caught a few with their pants down and managed to kill them for my team. Number 2. Use your ears. You can often hear an enemy and where they are roughly. This has saved my skin from lights several times. Number 3 Know when to hipfire and when to lock in. Firing from the hip and using janky movement while heading into reverse, timing my three shot bursts has made it so I have a decent chance to beat a melee light in a 1v1. Do not let them close the distance without fighting tooth and nail for every square in of space between you and their weapon. At the same time, you might need to pull off a lot of damage quickly on a retreating light, meaning you want to scope in, unless of course scoping in loses you LOS on the enemy. Never lose sight of the enemy light if you can help it. Fire from the hip if you need to do it to keep him in your sight.
The class encourages a selfish playstyle in a TEAM GAME. If you want to pick light, go do it in quick cash or whatever. Don't ruin my ranked game by grappling into a 3 stack and rage quitting or picking a sniper rifle and wonder why you're 0-10 and getting carried.
Very surprised that neither winch or motion sensor didn't get a shout-out here. Yeah, range of winch and cooldown is something that makes it unreliable, but paired with any of the close range weapons will stunlock and setup a light for an easy kill. Couple that with the frankly INSANE range the motion sensor has now, making a whole room immune to cloak/vanish bomb users? I love playing light just as much as I love playing their hard counters lmao
Basically lights win duels so you gotta play like you're scared and stick with your team and then hope that you can hear footsteps because the audio in the finals sucks but most likely you won't so when you get stunned/attacked pray that your teammates will turn around and help you.. which likely wont happen if uve got light teammates.. and if it's a melee light attacking you, just hope they optimize the game so you don't have to aim at 70 fps lag spikes at a guy who dashs around and only has to walk by you and let melee aim assist do the rest. I love the finals but the game can be a hot mess.
He said the opposite actually, Lights don't win duels, you can't win a duel if you have hp or less than that of your opponents. They are the ones who are scared and hide, look for better angles or try to surprise you. You have the health advantage also better weapons this season that can easily counter lights. Lights are very weak this season, just learn the game and have some awareness. This isn't Cod.

Watched this as a light main taking notes 👀 lol
ahhh nahhh, ngl i play light when i want to just have fun haha lol
Same here!
Same here to sell the game its so fun haha
As a Light Main since beta this video is great for both Light players and people wanting to beat Light players
I have been playing since S1, off and on, you have no idea how much I needed a video like this. Hopefully I can apply it
As a heavy main I always run motion sensor with flame thrower and I love seeing lights run when they are in it!
As a light main I can confirm the sledgehammer, flamethrower, and CL-40 all make me strongly reconsider an engagement
Stun gun time!
thx for this - saving the whole video for later and will try to give you thoughts on editing when I get a chance to watch it.
Great video!! I'm a light main so this was fun to watch
Goo gun + flamethrower go boom
Honestly there are not enough counters to invis
exactly
Thermal vision, it's a utility on light players. You can detect those even through smoke.
@@skinman499 thermal can see them? What's a good counter for a medium to use?
Just pick heavy with charge and lewis gun, that's all i need
You suck, I can't wait till your dumb stinky charge gets nerfed
Sword and dash 💪
As a light main there is notting worst then a glitch mine. It justs makes me useless wile in range
pov: I'm a light that just stunned you, honestly you're done so what gadget can you use
Model 1887. Lobby full of lights will start leaving one by one once I whip it out 🤣
Riot shield is the best counter for that that I've found. Makes it easier to avoid being mag dumped.
@dabalishis1585 a light of equal skill will kill you.
I had a light in ranked stun me twice tonight. He still got beamed in the forehead anyways both times lol.
Lights biggest counters… everything in the game currently. Video over
"only fully committing to a fight when there's a little to no chance of losing" is most wrong statement I've ever heard about lights 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Charge n slam
Dash away and sword poke
TLDR; everything counters lights 😝
Not the countering light videos already. I'm enjoying dominating these low elo lobbies bro don't be ruining it
all heavy has to do is look at light and they will vaporize.
Really? As a light main they’re pretty easy to kill
all good tips unless I come at you with my beloved sh1900
Just sneeze and they’ll die

Idiotproof strategy is to stick to your team. Most Lights like duels but not teamfights.

Just here to say I HATE lights - Heavy Main
Same but i hate lights on my team like what do i even do when there's 2 lights on my team? They're just fuскing around and not doing anything
@@sifon5495 yeah I've never won a ranked game where I have 2 lights on my team. They just end up each 1v3ing and inting.
