Overview
A brainstorm
Don’ts
Don’t utilize things you don’t know how to use really unless you’re willing to learn it
Don’t take for granted the fact that you’ve won games before. At the outset the playing field is level.
Don’t set your video settings to barebones so you can’t make out the hotkeys
Don’t check on allies, necessarily, but try to get a visual on what their opponent or opponents been doing early
Don’t take what other people do and copy it without understanding somewhat why they would do it or how it could help you, in casts for instancs, the games like too fluid or something.
Don’t be afraid to avoid an engagement
Don’t be afraid to be inconveniet in some way if you can’t hold the line or feed or loot you could set up a friend doing so because presumably they would keep some track of what’s going on elsewhere.
Failing that don’t be afraid to surrender if it looks appropriate
Do’s
Do main some different factions. Means 1v1’s with a single hero/faction. Really cool sometimes when you realize you didn’t 2/3-21 Ordo Malleus totally for nothing! ! You could even be good, I d o not know
Do be aware when you are playing 1v1’s that your opponent probably has the desire to punish and at the first sign of weakness or disadvantage may beatstick you to death so be veery careful
Do play the games you’d rather leave just because your feelings at this point are lying They can come back around!
Do look at your current resources sometimes just to look. I have what I’m sure is the bad habit of treating them as secondary, meaning I look at what i need first. Sometimes looking at what you’ve amassed could be more reasonable.
Do think about your build orders, what you’re going to make and when, a build order a lot of times might look like this, when your not bottom lane on argus vs. IMG SQUUId orx
blah blah blah 2x terma gaunts 1x hormagaunts warp field hivetryant INTO
tier 2 tyrant guard, drop (global) warriors
VS IMV SQOOD orx ud maybe do 2 hormagaunts or something funny, because its hard sometimes being OOD Quid
anyway
Do get to know people so when you lose to them its a fun loss, unlike my life!
