Anti-Carry Strategies
I'm an Iron 2 KAY/O main, and sometimes, there are situations where one player on the enemy team is FAR better than any one player on my team, but the rest of us can stand a solid chance around the other 4. Obviously, I don't want to lose the entire match simply because one player on the other team is better, so...
How can I rally up my teammates to ensure that the 5 of us together can shut down the 1 hard carrier on the other team with tactics instead of individual aim?
Thanks in advance!

you can try ganging up on the carry and hoping for the best?
if that doesnt work try to just util spam š¤·āāļø idk im silv pls im no better than u
"Hoping for the best" is the part about that I don't like.
honestly theres hardly anything you can do against better players as iron
Then how am I supposed to get out of Iron if I have zero gameplan for better players?
They're going to show up whether I want them to or not.
maybe work on improving your aim and game sense so it's easier for you to get rid of them
yes i'm well aware
watch some videos and learn how to improve stuff
you're gonna have to improve eventually, these better players are just the push to help you do so
Agreed.
Heck, watching a few of those videos is what motivated me to try to beat them with tactics instead of aim.
I can't improve my aim mid-match, but I can absolutely change my tactics.
!!!
a few things that've helped me a bit are
like 1-2 deathmatches before i enter an unrated/comp
and sometimes aimlabs
aimlabs doesnt help me very much but it might help you
those are just aim tho and game sense is moreso something you have to learn from videos š
Yeah, I sometimes get a few DMs in just to get the initial loading issues out.
If my laptop can stop bugging out with a DM, it can absolutely handle an optimized Standard Match.
First, I suggest yall rat in the corner cuz usually the carry knows he can kill yall and will be aggro, esp on defence. So yall can judt wait for him to push and then kill him
So wait for a dumb play and punish it. Got it!
sorry for the late reply but yep!
You gotta go for the power of friendship. Buy flashes, smokes, nades... Everything that could kill a man without the need of aim. Try to actively find crossfires. Focus in the carrier's patterns and play against them. Try to stay together.
5 > 1. Got it!
I thought you were talking about how to make sure you lose lmfao
Alright, as a frequent smurf, the reason why i can frag out so much is because when i kill people, their team doesnt trade
Just have 2 ppl fight him at the same time, from 2 different angles and you are guaranteed to get the kill even if one person dies
Over all thou, you want to bait him out and kill him
Best to seperate him from his team
Also good smurfs (who are trying to carry) will always trade their teammates
^ yeah but some smurfs just smurf to smurf š¤·āāļø
So just trade for him
Smurfs are not gods
Unless you make them out to be
Good question, have good game sense. If the Smurf likes to pick the team off at mid then do not peek mid and hold a off angle in catwalk for example (ascent)
And yes, play for trades and don't be away from the team
And another thing is to really just get better. Everyone told me "just head tap them" and I would just brush it off until I started to work on my aim and I improved alot
Makes sense. Itās harder to carry against better players.
Sometimes, Iāll just hop in DM, hear someone about to swing me, and practice one-tapping them, and only spraying if I flatout miss.
If I get the one-tap, *chefās kiss*.
Everyone starts somewhere. I started as iron 3 and I'm now plat. I would also recommend working on cross hair placement. For example in your situation you end up spraying when hearing someone swing so you should go into the range and set it for eliminate 50 with strafe.
It helps with your aim when someone moves or or swings.
i was placed bronze in beta
last episode i was plat
now im asc
Wow
Nice
takes time getting better
Ofc ofc
not an over night thong
Yeah
but yeah
play with team for smurfs
trade eachother
Took me a few days to master jus counter strafing and head taping
yeah
You got it @boomerthestar47_2 
i think the main thing that pushed me from plat to asc is mental thou
having a good mentality when climbing is important
i used to rage at teammates a lot more
Bro like before in bronze I almost got banned from a server bc I said I'm gonna kms as a joke too much lmaoo
lmao
My mental is much better and having good mental helps
Lol
Agreed. Thatās honestly the one thing I consider myself to actually have as a strength. āThanks for trading me, Sova!ā āNice shot, Reyna!ā āCouldnāt have done that without you saving the Operator, Brim!ā
If you can encourage the team after a near win, they can turn it into a win the next time. If you encourage them after a win, theyāll know how to repeat it. Mental slants the game back into your favor.
Yes, hyping up your teammates is very good. I hate how people think they can talk trash and mess up someone's mental just because they are going 10-20 or smth
Yess
