Dying is crucial to learn.
So a friend of mine has watched me play siege and asked me what’s the most important thing to get good at siege. Now before y’all think I’m crazy, let me explain the title…
I told him that dying is very important in siege, let me tell you why.
Think of the game, Elden ring, you fight a boss and die over and over again BUT you start to learn his attack patters, combo and other stuff like that, so you start to learn and counter everything the boss throws at you, correct?
Elden ring deaths are like deaths in siege. You die to a certain angle that a op is holding whether it’s wide angle or pixel peak angle. You die to a trap like a thorn grenade, frost mine or you step in a lesion mine and the moment you try to pull it out you get swung on, maybe you die to an op from behind like vigil or cav. Or die from below to a pulse or valk c4, maybe you die to solis from below.
You see where I’m getting at? These deaths help you learn to avoid and develop your own strategy against it, over time you’ll start to learn how to completely prevent dying more often to these kinds of deaths.
The only way you’ll start to get good at the game is when you avoid dying to anything else but gunfights, let me explain, gunfights are 50/50 most of the time but some mostly 75/25 in certain conditions. But whether you win or die in a gunfight proves you are learning to avoid other deaths that now an op has to either bait or force a gunfight with you.
So, if you die in siege, don’t get frustrated, watch the kill cam, and learn from it. deaths in siege is a learning experience, yes it can be very frustrating but it’ll help you learn over time when you start learning about pre-firing, recoil control, and aim, suddenly angles don’t seem as dangerous as they were before but always take caution in gunfights and such. You’ll also start learning how to pick up on audio cues so you don’t die from behind. Or you can sorta be like me where I don’t pick up on sound ques half the time BUT “predict” how an enemy op is gonna play and be right 60% of the time.
Overall, deaths are important in siege to help you learn, so you don’t die the same way next time. Don’t get easily frustrated about it, just learn from it.
