The Hard Truth About Solo Queue - Solo To Champ (R6 Educational Commentaries) 

In rainbow I think it’s like to get out of the low ranks you have to develop enough gun skill to earn the right to be in a rank where teamwork happens

Athieno: "Never ever put that blame towards somebody else. Always try and ask what you could do better." Teammate: "Oh I got Bos-G. My bad." Athieno: Visibly regrets the last phrase he just uttered.

You can see him blow up with happiness when he clutched the 1 v 2 and his team was so nice, wish I got these players in my ranked games.

I think you should start playing zero while solo queueing. He has a good gun, 4 cameras so you dont have to worry about teammates, and hard breach charges. He has everything a solo queuer would ever want

The biggest consistency (and difference from grouping) is you have 4 team mates to USE rather than play with. From my time in CS, you're gonna have to bait your team mates a lot and play on the off-site or roam way more. If you can't bet on your team mates to play well... you can play off their stupidity to get you 2 picks for their one death.

I haven't watched this guy before, but it honestly seems like the journey of someone who thinks low rank is a cake walk, and he can literally be half paying attention and then wipe the whole lobby. Throughout this journey, the realization materializes that no, it's not a cake walk, it's total chaos that no one can prepare for.

I think you can talk more about how enemy positioning in each games and how they should position themselves for the highest advantage despite they are enemies. That would give more insight to us with how they should be holding next time and not blundered by double kill nade.

Love how you keep doing this in videos. Basically showing us lower levels who solo queue, you putting us on game thanks Athieno hope you keep doing yo stuff bro 💪🏽🤟🏽

High rank players always say you can just easily frag out of your rank and carry the team etc... This video shows that is false exactly as I expected lmao. Bro was malding 2 rounds into the game and was visibly frustrated

The amount of times I've tk'd someone because the ran in front of me while I'm shooting is insane. And then they scream in mics. I've also been called a cheater after shooting through walls after someone broke a window on the other side, low ranks are wild

This is the legitimate Solo Que experience The teammates and the siege timing at its peak

Love this style of content this is funny and entertaining most importantly educational we love that your putting your self in stupid hard situations like this it teaches us 🤣❤️

thank you for the advice and constant uploads keep up the good work!

athieno, thank you so much for these commentaries, i just switched over to pc and your videos have helped me improve immensely, my goal is to hit champ someday and maybe go pro, but the going pro part is just a dream, i just mainly wanted to thank you for the tips and tricks and just generally being able to watch you play because there is so much to pick up on and watch its crazy, keep it up man, and ill definitely keep watching your videoes

in soloq, theyre all baiters, Athieno later in the same video: MY LIFE'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS TEAM

The hardest part for me in solo queue is positioning my self to get kills and not get shot in the bac because teammates are useless I can't watch every angle. Even if I roam somone is always doubled up with someone so Ill get one kill and die while reloading, or trying to fall bac. If I kill 3/5 or 4/5 I always get shot in the bac and my last teammate be oblivious. Some will say well stop solo queueing problem solved but I much rather solo queue than play with a stacc. There has to be a middle ground to this issue make skill based matchmaking skill based not ranked based.

The Ace throws followed by the BB plant was hilarious 😂

Hi Athieno! I’ve been watching your videos and I love this series, I’ve been following it since you started y7 last year December and I bought the game and i reached GOLD 1 then went on a loosing streak to SILVER 5 and now im back in GOLD 4. I’ve only SOLO Q, don’t have friends to play with and most of the people I play with don’t speak English haha but I fell in love with the game and im having fun. It’s best to just do the commentary after the round so that you can concentrate on your game ^.^

Oryx dropping literally describes my solo experience. Can't trust teammates

This video is eye opening. You're extremely skilled and yet you're struggling in solo queue. *He just like me fr* 😭 But yeah, I've learned I need to take a lot more risks in solo console and be less reliant on my rando teammates to execute

That C4 on villa.. just all you can say is “siege just does us like that sometimes.” I feel like copper-silver is like 3-4 metas behind where emerald-champ is. Gold-plat is somewhere in the middle ground where it’s still weird but they’re trying to learn the meta and develop the skills to break through. Plat players are obviously more skilled with their guns but I see better site setup in gold than I do in plat lol. Everything is kind of weird and being solo makes it all the more fun to deal with weird antics😅

Hi athieno this is the first video I watched of yours ❤ I’ve seen ur TikToks and I love it all keep it up🔥

love this video! most low rank players just rat out in the dumbest nonsensical locations and then on top of that u need eyes in the back of ur head because ur team mates don't watch the right angles . But i think the randomness of low ranks forges solo queue players to have good gun skill bcs that's the only thing u can trust to rank up, because it doesnt matter what u call out, most of the time ur teammates will never support u to get that kill or play off of the info u just gave them.

I had my first ranked game the other day. We won, but still got a message from a teammate who said I was dogshit because I'm still learning the game, and who was and emerald player (allegedly) on a smurf queueing with a copper friend😂🤦 These videos help a tonne, but solo queue is tough, especially on console 🤦

*always talks shit about low ELO *Constantly gets owned by low ELO players Lmao

R6 is the only game I’ve seen where people get mad at others for not playing the game the way they want 😂

Ngl this whole thing is funny as hell.

When soloing Oregon on Atk, I leave a drone in big tower, and if clear, I take Maverick to peek through attic (since they ALWAYS choose Dorm site first). 9/10 times, I'll get 1 kill out of it, sometimes 2!

The part I’m struggling with is exactly what you said bout the solo queue it’s a 1v9 i never really thought about it like that until my teammates started to tk thank you

He says a lot of words but still gets dawged out on Oregon 😂

True just made silver 4 for the first time trying ranked and the teammates I get sometimes are not it when solo q. I’m not the best but I’m sure as hell ain’t the worst😭

dawggg i love how annoyed u got w the teamates 😂 like im telling u they bots and brain dead but then the enemy team has a 5 stack off adderal. at least they were giving coms bro i always get “joey420” coughing in the mic laughing when he dies then burps

I think they are not "really" in bronze though because matchmaking is now more based on the hidden skill ranking than on actual rank... So you could possibly play against diamond or champ players if your skill rating is like that

Bro I didn’t realize this was an hour video! W

36:20 best piece of gaming advice ever.

“What’re you doing?! Mozzies on THAT side” lmaoo sometimes you just gotta laugh when grinding out of low ranks.

love your content

I love you athenio by far my most favorite twitch and rainbow streamer

Round 5 of game 1 is what every single game is like in lower ranks, no holes, wrong reinforcements and teammates that don’t listen

elite series

Just went 18-3 in a bronze match, rest of the team got 6 kills combined.

I can't enjoy the game with anyone because I've played by myself for a while and my brain just fuzzles out if I try playing with comns like discord. I feel that if there was a scale of team orientated and lone wolf, I'm completely lone.

I played solo q yesterday and went from Gold I to V. Just lost round after round with teammates going 0|4|0 and then calling me out because I didn't clutch the 1v3 at the end

Was busy at work but yooo notification squad! LoL

hey bro been watching you for a small min now since i started playing siege again I struggle everyday with solo queue i would be more than grateful getting the chance to play with you i try to give the same tips you give us to everybody else it’s a hard headed community i can say solo queueing will forever be hell

this really the solo q life, how im living rn

Watching Athieno in bath risking my phone>>>>

Unless you have solid randoms or you are running a 4 or 5 stack,running solo you honestly just have to frag out every game to get out of low ranks.

for me im the same when i first started playing i was playing against golds/plats. the only thing holding me back is literally game sense because i havent played for that long. only played one season basically and i got plat 2 so ill take that

I also just like your teammate didn’t know who kelsi Monroe was and my poor little eyes curiosity is a dangerous thing

The reason I can’t rank up is bc I get bad teammates and good enemies

Good job leviackerman !

Says something about the game when even a champ is getting slammed in low ranks. In CS:GO a top player would always frag out vs less skilled opponents.

My hidden rank is plat 1 and sometime it was diamond. When i play with my friends or solo i am the one that reinforces everything, gives callouts and ends on a positive k/d even if the match ends in 4-0 loss. My normal rank is silver 5.

Seeing this now and damn I'm gonna miss cooking grenades..

I have reached for the first time platinum on solo queue thanks man !💪💪🥵

Goat

I went from plat 5 to gold 4 in hours super frustrating with connection error disconnects mid round and other things.

Seeing this from a pros pov makes me realize how truly bad I am at this game

Playing solo q is pain full I need someone to play/communicate in game

Seems like your skill matches tbe ranks you play with

damn u was kinda gettin slapped up😭

May I know what server you used? Most people I have played with aren't speaking English, so hard to deal with them.

The match I played after I watched this.... I had 0 deaths and 11 kills. Wasnt ranked sadly

So what do i do when I’m doing good and my solo Que team is complete Garbo , and then I’m stuck in my rank for a while

What is the music mix i am hearing? Kinda vibing to it. Need name pls

Low rank Solo que you have to have 7 peoples job, and my 1.9 braincells can’t handle learning site setups, but I am trying my hardest to watch ur site setups and adapt and change them for whatever I need and can remember

Favorite siege player ❤

More videos of 1 hour!

I love how the lion used 2 drone scans 15 seconds into the match lmfao I’m bronze and even I know not to do that

plat 1 is the hardest for me to solo biggest chocke point imo

what is the background music in the first few minutes named??

I SWEAR TO GOD THIS GUY HAIR LOOKS DIFFERENT EVERYTIME I WATCH HIS VIDEOS

Athieno why when nobody is giving call outs so said they are bad and all thsi but when they start doing it you said they are loud

IRON MIND - MAKE A T-SHIRT

What’s your sensitivity and multiplier

6:10 to 7:25 BRO SWALLOW THE FOOD. YOU DONT NEED TO CHEW IT FOR A MINUTE AND A HALF

I was getting booted out the match and nothing was wrong with my wifi.

COMMON ATHIENO W

You speak from the perspective of a very good player who is being teamed up with inexperienced players.... What if you're the inexperienced player? What can I do so as not to piss of good players I get teamed up with?....I try to take direction and be the best teammate I can, to no avail it seems sometimes. For example: I lost a ranked match this weekend, and the one decent player on the team told us all to quit playing ranked, and that he carried us during the defense rounds...blah blah blah. I shouldn't let people like that get to me (especially from someone who is probably closer to my kids' age than mine), but it's really disheartening. I lowkey rage-quit my stream after that (came back later though). Since then, I've been playing quick matches trying to improve. However, I'm in a weird place where sometimes in quick matches I get irritated with the lack of communication and team-play, but I'm not sure if I should do ranked until I get better. Like, I'm starting to understand the game more, but not on the level of these guys who have played for a while...... So weird- I picked up this game on a whim, and now it's become some twisted obsession.

Is there any way you can do a video on how to get yourself unmuted? This been happening ever since i hopped back on siege 2 weeks ago. Every game I’m in I’m always muted which i don’t understand i can’t hear my team and my team can’t here me idk if this is only a console thing or what.

ik you said solo queing you should expect the worst but i always solo que bc ion got no one to play with and im plat

He’s such an arrogant content creator, nothing nice about him and embodies the toxicness of siege. There’s no denying it he’s really gifted and smart but being a lil bit of a better teammate would make the content better

Feel my pain!

I’m enjoying a lot of r6 RU-vidrs videos like this but I don’t get how they talk poorly about peoples aim when they miss multiple shots and die to them?

The problem with the new rank system is that those guys probably are IN bronze, but they aren't bronze players. They probably just started this season late so they are grinding out of those low elo trenches & appearing as smurfs to actual bronze players who are stuck there.

Dude gets mad when the enemy team is also smurfing 💀

That team was master baiters

i got second hand tilt from this😒

When I solo q I always roam

It's harder to win solo in bronze than high gold low plat no lie

I think at this level not everyone watches RU-vid or twitch streams to know names for places, strats or set ups. More of your casual gamer per se. So to alleviate frustration, to be mindful of this and not expect too much of teammates or to play the way you want to play. (You being the general person not aimed at anyone specifically)

i have the map knowledge and communication of a high level player but not the gun skill

as a bronze 1 and im ashamed to see the rest of our people play like this

Smug, condescending, blaming everyone else and playing like a bronze, gg.

Just drone as much as you can in prep, have a route to take. As long as you know the map the. Low ranks is easy. It’s just fragging and and live pinging everyone. I play ps5 so it’s different to PC players. As you guys (most) have quite decent to good gun skills. But low ranks is all about fragging. You get a fair few of players who queue in a 4 while you solo. Which makes life a bit easier. But half the time those teams are a bunch of ops themselves, act like they’re the best players

free spoiler of attack on titans, thx...... you shoud have beep it

Teamate goes oryx but uses baliff for rotates ☠️

pov... ur teammates have poop hands

What do you think on the twitch gun nerf!? I think it is really bad especially on console it will be hell
