Its so absolutely frustrating to see you carrying loads of money looking for kills without banking it. Having teammates like you is the worse, you know they're skilled but you never know whether you gonna win or not, I'd rather having an average joe as a teammate.
People play bank it to fight and get kills because there is no team death match. If you wanna play the objective queue for ranked becase quick play is just to mess around.
Crazy how you could have still gotten 19 kills but won the game if you just used your movement abilities to go to the floating letters. There were several times you could have revived your teammates while waiting for your own health to heal. Skills should get results.
Always try to hit them from behind with the heavy attack and if you miss just start to slide and jump around them while trying to finish them off with the light attacks. If you're getting ambushed by 2 or more players use your cloak or dash ability to escape and always remember to be fast with your decisions. Also try to isolate fights into 1v1s as it will become much easier to get kills! 💪
I think cloaking device is a noob trap, it works on newer players so newer cloakers start to depend on it, but better players see right through it and once they spot you... there's a reason we say "brought a knife to a gunfight", you're left with no other options to close rhe distance and get a backstab off, and if you're left clicking then you might as well have just brought the Sword instead, it's easier to use. Or better yet you should have just brought a gun. Cloak is a crutch that will fail you, if you're serious about learning the dagger, dashstab is a product of your own skill vs cloakstab being a product of your opponents being unskilled. Most of the few dagger montages on youtube right now are cloakers running around bank-it lobbies dunking on new players who aren't paying attention, but that playstyle doesn't work on anyone but the freshest newbie lobbies. Trickstabbing is easy to learn but hard to master on human players. I play on high sensitivity and high FOV, I have my dash bound to the thumb button on my mouse, the basic trickstab is simple, when about 10ft from enemy I click and hold thumb and right click at the same time, it starts the backstab animation as I dash forward through the enemy and whip around really fast. You must hold rightclick as you dash otherwise the backstab will be cancelled. If done right, the backstab animation will thrust the knife right as you reach the other side of the Sometimes heavies will survive on 1shot hp, most people's instinct is to use the leftclick to finish them but actually quick melee is faster. At first it was very difficult and my kd would be like 0/9, but after 20 hours of just playing dagger I'm holding my own and even taking 10/5 KD's, at least in the casual gamemodes. Have not played competitive yet but I think soon my dagger play will be advanced enough to try it on the ladder. When I first started I tried to make effective use of flashbangs and smoke grenades to sneak up on my targets, however the devs just made those grenades too weak compared to how hard it is to use them. The flashbang actually takes longer to equip and throw than it even full-blinds the target for, and the smoke grenade doesn't last long enough and doesn't even obscure your silhouette all the way. Optimal items to carry are 1. Vanishing bomb, cloaking is a waste of the ability slot, but the vanishing bomb combined with the dash trickstab is a great assassination combo 2. Stun gun, it's literally the meta for all lights to carry, but also it makes lining up your trickstab much easier when they can't move around so erratically. 3. Motion detector, I like to plant them on cashout stations just for information, people cashing out with their backs to you is a free backstab 4. Some form of damage grenade, either frag gas or fire, whatever suits you and the gamemode. You don't want the knife to be your only form of damage
@@rea1cyru5 What he said. The main reason why I still play this game is because of trick stabbing and the Akiba step. The skill ceiling is super high for the build since you have to learn how to consistently hit the Akiba step, not get shredded since you are bringing a knife to a gunfight, and still play objective. It is worth the challenge with how rewarding hitting the tech is and pulling off 2v1s or 3v1s.
