@bluri.2653 Would you maybe be willing to give some thoughts/analysis/advice Sind?

Continued thanks all for the feedback! Just to address a few points on the first game which a few people have mentioned. At around the 8 minute mark we're 3 at the mid node. I don't want to commit to far at this point as we don't need it (we have a double cap - close/mid). The thief pushes into mid where I've rotated (probably should have stayed close, but I wanted to support a tf if it happened). I see on the map at 7.49 the Rev starts to follow the thief, and as rev can rotate much faster to close (being both closer and having access to swiftness) I therefore decide to stay mid, which is why I go back to checking enemy spawn, not realising the rev hasn't followed the thief to home (not me blaming the rev btw, just my thought process). The map also doesn't show close point getting decapped until it is actually decapped to neutral which was odd in hindsight. This is why my rotation to close was slow here. I wasn't expecting to be going to close. Regarding chasing Vaans at the start, I knew he hadn't rampaged yet, and I didn't want him to go round the corner and rampage then blindspot me. In hindsight I definitely should have got the cap instead, thanks for your feedback on this. Some people have commented regarding losing caps during fights. This happens to me often when I get +d or 2v1'd, as I'd rather get out, reset and then recap the node if I think I can win the fight. For example at 9.40 when I've pressured Vaans off the point, and then get +d by the thief, I wasn't confident I could 2v1 on node against both the current number 9 on the EU leaderboard and a thief at the same time (not going to lie, probably can't). I felt like I could take and win the 1v1 against either so I drop back down once the thief has left and I've pressured him with the focus 4. With leaving other people to take the 1v1s and rotate to another point myself, I think I just have trust issues there in relying on my team to win their 1v1s. I saw the ele had lost 1v1 to Vaans earlier do didn't feel like I could leave that 1v1, and wasn't confident the ranger would win a 1v1 based on how they were moving and kiting, so felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. I guess I was indecisive. One of the above suggestions was to rotate out, leave the ranger and let the ranger recap close on respawn, however given that Vaans had pushed close at start, I thought he would probably camp close once he had capped it (could easily have been wrong though). Again not me trying to put down my teammates, but that was my thought process at the time!

Thanks all for your feedback so far. Please don't turn this into flaming each other! Regarding terrain kites, I normally hit those much better, you see me miss the same kite twice (on two separate occasions in the third game) and miss the jump pad at the end in the first game. Jump pad at the end of the third game was a series of unfortunate events - Didn't realise I was crippled first jump so didn't jump as far, got knocked off it the second time and then forgot that cripple converts into swiftness and jumped too far the third time! Just a boon/condi bar awareness issue I think. I think for the most part I hit most of kites?

Hello, my name is Defib. I want to win at PvP, but I seem to lose a lot. Even games where I think I am going to win. I often get called bad, or trash, or stupid or bot in games by people on my team. I am currently stuck around Plat 1 and Gold 3. I seem to move around between two at the moment. I recorded many games where we lose, and I put some below which I think are indicative of how I play in 99% of my matches. I'm not sure what what do do, so I would be grateful for your opinions and advice. Are people right? Am I trash and it's my fault we lose? What can I do better to win these games instead of losing? Sorry about the music, I was talking with some friends about cats, bubbles and Path of Fire (unrelated) so the music is to cover where I covered voice audio (because I speak fast and hate my voice). Please help! (Also I'm aware I am not playing metabuild, sorry). Help plz! I can't win in GW2! - YouTube Help plz! I'm getting rekt in GW2! - YouTube Help Plz! Why is winning so hard! - YouTube
