As a leaderboard player with a 4.4 W/L ratio heres 5 tips I can give you to help you win more.
First: pick a good kits and talents. The best kit in my opinion that isn't a donator kit is healer. The best talents to use by far are:
- Adrenaline (Chance to get speed 3 after being hit)
- Rage (Chance to get strength after a kit for a few seconds)
- Last Stand (Chance to do more damage when below 5 hearts)
Second: awareness. Make sure you are aware of your surroundings when you are fighting others, about to fight others, or just running around. Being aware can help you survive fights, not get cleaned up, not get snuck up on, and avoid random punch bow arrows.
Third: pick good maps. Avoid maps like pirate for example, that map is easy to fall off on and can causes a loss really easy. Picking a map like Music would be a better option. Music is an open map that has a lot of space to pvp but has a good amount of void if you choose to use that to your advantage. (you can use the command /skywars-1 or /skywars-2 to join a new game without joining the lobby)
Fourth: play to your strengths. If you know that you are not good at fighting on bridges for example then don't take a fight on a bridge.
Fifth: Patience is key. Most players think they have to move really fast and end games as fast as they can but that is not true. If you know it would be better to wait till refill and get a pearl, do that. D
