So, instead of going on about strategies that you elite tributes should be using, I'm gonna make a guide on what strategies you noobs SHOULDN'T use in Survival Games. Some of these strategies are for the new folk who probably don't know what's bad or good, and some are for pros who might learn something new today.
(This post is going to be quite long, so if you don't feel like reading in depth, I have a list at the bottom of all the strategies)
Alright, let's get cracking:
Punching People at Start:
This is the most common thing people will do on this list. I don't know what they accomplish out of this, but let me explain how this is a bad strategy:
-Punching people will do nothing but frustrate them and want to kill you more, and having somebody want to kill you is a bad thing.
-If you do end up killing somebody, your hunger is going to be extremely low due to you punching and possibly sprinting.
-You won't get good items out of it, since if you were able to kill somebody, chances are they didn't have armor, or a sword.
-You will be low on health, because the person you're punching is probably going to fight back. If they're good enough, they might kill you. Which, is kind of humiliating.
Block Hitting:
This is also another common strategy, I don't get why people try to block hit, cause there just isn't a reason for it. Reasons why this is bad:
-When you try to block hit, your hitting speed decreases majorly and you will get significantly less hits on your opponent, which is the main goal of PVP.
-Blocking makes your movement speed slow, which makes you vulnerable to your opponent.
-Unless if you're very accurate with your blocks, blocking really doesn't deflect much damage since you can't keep the blocking position on. Unless you want to die, of course.
Camping at Cornucopia with Bad Stuff: (Or camping in general)
Reasons why this is bad:
-If you're going to sit at the cornucopia, or any other hotspot, somebody with better stuff is going to come along sooner or later and kill you.
-You could spend your time looking for better items, rather than waiting at a dangerous location for them.
-Camping doesn't accomplish anything.
Getting in Large Teams Without Some Form of Vocal Communication:
Reasons why this is bad:
-If you set up a large team of people you don't know, you have a high chance of somebody going berserk and betraying you.
-A team that can't communicate well is usually very sloppy and can split up easily, then the team later gets picked off one by one.
-There's only one winner, more people you have, less of a chance you get to be a winner.
Going Down Chest Routes that are Very Popular:
Reasons why this is bad:
-If you go down a chest route that people already have, versus one that nobody has, your chance of getting a good amount of chests decreases when you go down the popular route.
-More people on a route, the more people you have to be careful around.
-You can still make a route that has good chests that aren't very popular. Trust me, there's a lot. (Example: Survival Games 4 crashed plane route)
That's all I can think of as of now, I'll add more on this thread if I come up with any. Hope you guys found this useful.
Oh yeah, here's the list for you lazy readers:
Punching People at Start- Frustrates players, accomplishes nothing.
Block Hitting- Makes you open to your enemy and accomplishes nothing.
Camping- If you're at a popular place, you're going to die. Accomplishes nothing.
Getting in Large Teams Without Vocal Communication- Higher chance of team dying or getting betrayed. Accomplishes nothing.
Going Down Routes that are Popular- Other good routes that aren't popular, lower chance of getting a good chest, and, it still accomplishes nothing.
