learn how to not blind yourself when using flashes and use molly not for healing but to get people off some corner if you know they are there or thats where they usually hide in site and stuff and learn how to use wall to create a perfect flash zone watch woohoojin's video about it titled Flashes are unstoppable when you know this otherwise phoenix is a really simple agent and just remember to use flashes dont use it when you dont know if an enemy is there just jiggle it or jump spot if there is an enemy there then just flash below high diamond i dont think anyone can dodge phoenix flash

Smurfs exist obviously and it's inevitable you will run into them, but there really isn't as many as you think. Sometimes, people just have good games Also, anybody below diamond is unlikely to dodge a correctly thrown Pheonix flash, and if they do, they don't have the skill to accurately put their crosshair back onto your head.

ive even met someone with a 70 percent hs and 100 percent winrate he was literally at a silver/gold lobby the one game i play with no smurfs is the one where 1~2 people afk in my team nice flex but no one (except for you ig) is good enough to dodge a phoenix flash at silver

Val does a good job of quickly ranking smurfs up if they actually try like that. You got unlucky it seems and caught them before they had ranked up

What's your current rank because even in Diamond, many people are not able to even dodge Kayo flash which is relatively a very easy flash to dodge

It's also not just about reaction time. It's reaction time, and game sense. Being able to weigh the probabilities of whether they will peak just before their flash pops in case you do dodge it, whether you are even able to think of the idea to dodge it. Etc. In gold/plat, many don't dodge it because they know they won't be able to put their crosshair back by the time you peak, so resort to just spraying instead

nah i just talk about dodge it, it depend on the game some are able dodge it and put their crosshair back on the head and make the kills some dont depend
