I made a post a few weeks ago saying that playing Impostor was fun if you didn't try hard.

​

After playing over 50 matches as Impostor and climbing the ranks, I'm revising my previous statement.

​

Impostor isn't fun at all, even if you don't try hard.

​

Since reaching Silver 1, I keep running into reagents who have figured out the trick and stun/brick/rig recharger/stun/brick you to death. If you stumble on very high-level reagents, they will do the task quickly, make no noise and are very hard to find. And if you luckily find them before they finish all the tasks under 4min, you can't do anything because they run to hide in a narrow corridor and/or find a structure we can't jump over and wait for you to make the first move. Yes, they try to bait you.

​

If I have the misfortune of approaching them first and can't avoid the stunt or the first brick, it's game over. I'm stunt-locked until I die. And it is very hard to avoid a brick in a narrow corridor...

​

So in the end, I don't dare go near them anymore. I can't even do a surprise slash and run to hide because it's so risky to get stunt-locked. I'm the one holding the knife, but I'm the one who has to hide the entire match to avoid running into the reagents.

​

And if it's not a reagent who knows what they're doing, it's some poor newbie who gets killed three times in less than two minutes...

​

Unfortunately, I can't enjoy this mode anymore, so I've stopped playing. It's a shame because it was fun and addictive at the beginning.

​

I'll wait for season 7 and see what changes it brings.

I've played against low, mid, and very high-level Reagents. Here's what I've noticed so far:

- As everyone has already said, the trickiest (and sometimes most annoying) opponents are high-level duos using voice comms, sticking together, and running the Stun/Jammer combo. When I start a match and see that, I know I need to be careful. I usually go for quick hit-and-run attacks, stay sneaky, and let them do their thing while waiting for one of them to make a mistake or split up.

- I've had A LOT of people disconnect mid-game, even when they were doing great. By that, I mean they'd complete objectives quickly and avoid me so well that I'd barely see them the entire match. Then, the moment I finally caught them once, they'd disconnect immediately he he

- I had one guy who was doing fine and had finished all his objectives. All he had left to do was press the final buttons and leave. I got him twice, and he then proceeded to hide somewhere and stall the game for at least 10 minutes before disconnecting. RB should had a timer, if they are not pushing the button after 5min, shuttle come and after the 3min, they die.

- Low-level players probably shouldn't play Invasion mode. I'd say at least reach Relapse 1 and a half before jumping in.

- I only had one match where I disconnected myself. The guy was low level, using X-Ray, didn't really know how to do the objectives, and spent most of his time hiding. I couldn't surprise him because of X-Ray and couldn't really get close either. That's fine on its own, but since he didn't know what he was doing, the match dragged on for waaaaaaaaaay too long and I got bored to death.

I can definitely see why the mode can be frustrating sometimes if you're trying to speedrun the Gold 1 skin or try hard tho
