Today i was at farley for my weekly grocery run, saw a lady with a full cart returning to her car as i arrived and forcing it to go between two cars(not enough space) and ended up denting and scratching both cars quite badly. She had to literally kick it to get it to move.

I never see people like this before, so just curious what would you guys/gals do or how would you respond to a situation like this?

As title says. I know i can find online but the item is so cheap the shipping costs like triple of the item.

Some context: Returned to the game about 6 months ago after quitting in 2021 (Plat 1 x4 in ranked 1.0, pre-Champion rank addition). I mostly play flex but lean toward anchoring and supporting. My top 5 defenders are Mute / Castle / Kaid / Melusi / Goyo.

I occasionally stack with friends — 3 of them are Champ, 1 is Diamond — and they constantly criticize my site setup speed. We run a fixed operator shortlist per site/map and have set tasks for prep phase, so it's not like I'm winging it.

One thing I've been told: you can create a standing runthrough rotation with Melusi and Mute using just 3 shotgun shots. I've never been able to replicate this and typically use 5-6. Would love clarification on that.

Here are the three setups they say I'm too slow on:

---

Example 1 — Oregon 2F Defense (Mute)

- Jammers on: top white door / trophy door / kitchen-to-dining door / security door
- Reinforce: 3x attic walls + left wall on kids facing dorms
- Headholes: attic/trophy wall
- Rotate: attic ↔ kids
- Feet holes: softwall next to big window
- Headholes: games room wall facing top white
- Open kids hatch
- Drop down and make a rotate from kitchen into security

---

Example 2 — Villa 2F Aviator/Bar (Melusi)

- Banshees at: aviator map table / 0.5 main stairs / landing / 90 hallway toward trophy window
- Reinforce: vault wall + 2x single walls facing the 90 hallway in bar
- Feet holes: next to those two single walls
- Rotate: bar ↔ aviator
- Headholes: facing study from both aviator and bar
- Headholes: bar facing aviator
- Feet holes: right side of trophy window wall (for 90 long angle into statue)
- Floor holes: bar looking down to main stairs
- Open study hatch
- Open 90 hatch

Example 3 — Kafe 3F Cocktail/Bar (Castle) — the worst one

- Castle barricades: cocktail window / new balcony window / freezer door (cocktail side) / cigar door
- Reinforce: 2x freezer wall facing piano / 1x toilet wall facing piano / 1x freezer wall facing cocktail window / 1x freezer wall facing toilet
- Standing rotate: next to the freezer castle barricade
- Jump rotate: toilet ↔ freezer
- Feet holes: double wall between piano and bar
- Headholes: toilet facing piano
- Shotgun out the mini bar at the default plant spot
- 1x prox alarm at pixel (piano into white hallway door)
- 1x prox alarm on 2.5 white stairs (halfway up)

On top of all of this, I'm expected to be done before prep ends **and** hop on cams to spot attacker spawns for roamer callouts.

I feel like I'm reasonably efficient but consistently need an extra 10–15 seconds to safely finish everything before jumping on cams. I'm not sure if I'm just not optimizing my route, or if some of these lists (especially Kafe 3F) are genuinely unrealistic to solo in prep phase.

Is this a routing issue? A muscle memory issue? Or is the list just overloaded? Anyone with experience anchoring at a high level have tips or know if these lists are at all possible?
