How to just go faster?
I have been into mcsr for about 4 months now. I learned bastions routes and the basics ages ago and have been actually playing the game for about 3 months now. Unfortunately I do not have enough uninterrupted time to play Ranked daily and i can only queue a couple times per week, but i do spend a lot of time practicing or playing zsg solo.
But i find myself stuck and I cannot improve, like my best split times are always the same:
3-5 mins to reach bastion,
8-11 mins to reach fortress,
15-18 min to reach stronghold
low 20 min completion
(all assuming i dont die or reset, my true average is 27 mins)
But i just dont understand how to go faster? I have been using Minipractice kit to practice my splits (mostly fort to finish or bastion to finish) and improve my times, terrain management, movement, search crafting, sprint crawling, etc.
And I have learned all the major time saves such as boateye, 2x1 portal, halfbow, autofunnel. I have tried to always be doing something in a run so there is no dead time, but that didn't help either. I'm not really sure how to improve from here.
When I see players in the midoffs for example, they start putting up sub 20 times in just a week. I have been playing for months and I just can't seem to figure it out. Is there any obvious thing to improve at or is this just not the game for me
