Discussion Rotations win more games than gunfights, and I can prove it with my deaths

Every death I review, I lost the POSITION before I lost the fight. Rotate BEFORE the gas, not with it - you want to be holding the high ground the other team is running into, not sprinting through open lanes to catch up. A cheap HARP (1,400) or even a UAV to read rotations is worth more than a fourth gun perk. Movement sweats will out-aim you; map control means they never get the fair fight.

Movement sweat here and I'll admit it: I win the fights I take and lose the games because I rotate like an idiot. This is the part of my game I'm worst at. Annoyingly good post.

ok but counterpoint, if you're good enough at movement you MAKE the fair fight happen on your terms. rotations for people who can't slide-cancel. (i'm agreeing with you a little, don't tell anyone.)

Both of you are right, which is the boring correct answer: rotate to control the lane, then win the fight you engineered. Position sets up the gunfight, aim closes it. Two-gun class, two-skill player.

i rotate by dying, going to the gulag, winning it, and redeploying somewhere new. tactical repositioning via violence.
