Sigma players how do you adjust when the lobby gets significantly faster?
Hi everyone!
I’m currently D3/D2 and I’ve been struggling in really fast paced lobbies in higher ranked.
In Emerald/low Diamond lobbies, I generally feel pretty comfortable. I can control space, play aggressively and generally feel like I’m controlling the pace of the game.
But once I get into higher Diamond / Masters-level lobbies, it feels like I suddenly get cooked.
This game was an Emerald 1 → Champ 5 lobby, so obviously I know I was punching above my rank lol. But I don't want to be the liability in these games anymore!
The biggest difference I notice is that I die WAY faster. My shields disappear faster, I get punished almost immediately for being slightly out of position, and I feel like I can’t take the same amount of space that I normally would.
What’s confusing me is that I don’t feel like I’m suddenly playing terribly. It’s more like the pacing of the lobby is so much faster that my usual Sigma habits stop working.
I’d appreciate any advice that might be able to help!
Here is the game code for the Emerald -> Champ if you'd like to watch: PSYVR1
