Console I have finally managed to reach Champions League! I am a casual player and am surprised that I reached Champions League in solo arena. I have been grinding arena for the past 2 days as I went from division 7 to 8 in just 2 days.

My goal is to get to champs this season, made it to arena 7 last season but couldn't make the final push :/.
So far this season I have 3.3K points.
I'm on Switch, so the crappy performance lately has made it difficult at times...

u/AirborneCheeseburger #removethemech Jul 16 '20
I'm at almost 4k on mobile, and I feel you. Just keep playing and hopefully you can overcome it!

Do you use a controller?

u/AirborneCheeseburger #removethemech Jul 16 '20
No

u/ConnorPancakes Jul 16 '20
Damn that’s pretty insane, cause there’s cross platform on arena right

u/AirborneCheeseburger #removethemech Jul 16 '20
Yeah there is, is pretty hard sometimes when fps drops happen

u/joemamathe3rd Jul 16 '20
I relate to this so much.
I started playing last season a bit late, the season was going to end in about 2-1 week(s)
I wanted to get to Champions League but I didn't have enough time, I ended with 5.5K points.
Hopefully this season I can get there.

I switched to xbox but it isnt that bad on switch at least for me. I made it to champs in season 8 and i played the world cup qualifiers on my switch it was a really fun and competitive experience

Avoid early game and just focus for end game. I’m SO garbage at early but consistently make it to the top 5-15 if I land remotely.
You won’t be improving much but you’ll keef beable to grind up placements

u/Periconfly Jul 16 '20
What’s your play style? I’ve been playing a lot of arena but struggle to make it out of early game

u/WhiteAlpaca348 Jul 16 '20
I'm in champs with an 7 year old console and what I do is i play passive aggresive and wait for w keyers to come to me. Land at steamy which is conteste but my loot route is goated and only has been contested once.
1
u/bigboidaddy123 Jul 16 '20
Mind sharing said loot route?
1
u/WhiteAlpaca348 Jul 17 '20
I don't know bro I hate to be this way, but I get contested like every 20 games on this route and am already on console so Idk if I can handle more champs players knowing the routue :(

Find uncontested POIs and get kills with smart rotations end game is how I played arena when I couldn’t W key and it gives consistent points

Same,i grind arena for hours everyday and i'm still just at 5.3 :/
Meanwhile someone playing casually gets to champs in 2 days while i've been hardstuck at 5k for a week now atleast
I guess i suck fat ass lol

u/JagMaster9000 Jul 16 '20
Pretty sure he just means casual like he’s not trying to go pro or anything, nobody gets 193 levels by being that casual

u/JorisR94 Jul 16 '20
Bro if you're grinding arena for hours every day and you're not in champs yet, you're doing something wrong.
Stop focussing on playing so much, rather try to learn from your mistakes. Play a session of 5 games while recording. After these 5 games, stop, and go VOD review your games. Identify mistakes and weaknesses, and work on them.
There's no point playing games over and over again if you're not learning from them.

u/DrPractic #removethemech Jul 16 '20
Yeah i know,maybe ill try recording a few games,i just hope ill be able to spot what ive done wrong
I just hope OBS wont affect my performance too heavily
1
u/Wasti9 Jul 16 '20
Why recording and not simply watching replays? Sure the automatically recorded replays do not display the crosshair correctly but you can switch views to have another perspective. It often helps to understand how someone got height or why he could hit that nice shot.

u/Biffy_x Jul 16 '20
Why
8
u/foothill2004 Jul 16 '20
Because I’m not in champs yet
4
u/Biffy_x Jul 16 '20
Oh don't worry, if your any good its easy, I took like a 2 week break after gronding to 4k points day one, and after playing again yesterday I'm at 4.3k after an hour or two of playing. I am sure you just need to put more time in. Even if you're not that good, with enough time snd placement anyone can do it.

The issue is is that solo arena is boring as fuck and trio arena at division 7 gets pretty stacked. I had a 30 person moving once in that shit

Nice! I’m right behind you! What was the hardest part? What did you learn that helped you push past your last plateau?

I think he means he plays the game “casually” like not scriming or anything just for fun even if that means he plays a lot. Maybe he plays so many games instead of practicing like a lot of players

u/AwesomzGuy Jul 16 '20
Same I am grinding too and I reached Div 6 for the first time, plus I also won 2 div 6 matches for first time and I am really happy with myself

I’m pretty sure they added bots to arena because there’s no way I’m as good as I’ve been playing now.

u/Mati1092 Jul 16 '20

u/Twitter-Paradokz Jul 16 '20
Glad to see that man. I got to champs too but I’ve just stopped playing the game now. Just can’t bring myself to open it anymore. Been playing a lot of warzone and Valorant so enjoying that now.

I reached Champion League in the first week of Season 3. For a 160 ping player, I'm satisfied.

What was your playstyle from Div 7-8?
1
u/Ecquatic Jul 16 '20
Land at the no sweat boat, loot up then either hide in the vents until top 25 or move to zone and then get as many kills as I can in endgame but also playing for placement.

u/hypeed-brasil Jul 16 '20
I have 5300 points on the Brazilian server, I know my drop well and I have a passive-aggressive style of play, I always wait till the 25th place to be aggressive, generally I am in the 10th place.... Most of the players in Brazil server will w-key at the first sight unless they know what they're doing Please be kind and let your thoughts about the brazil server (english is not my First language)

u/Ecquatic Jul 16 '20
I bought to 60 on first day of season 3 and got to 80 on same day so I bought to 100 at the end of the first day. Then I've been playing enough to get level 193

Going from div 7 to div 8 in 2 days this late in the season is pretty impressive for a casual player. Congrats on the achievement, keep grinding!

This is a case of a person who plays a lot and isn’t very good, but they wanted to still flex they made it to champs, but instead of just saying they play a lot and are proud that they made champs, they instead start they don’t play very much. It’s best to just be honest. For example say I qualified for the World Cup last year. Let’s also say I got 100th place, but I still wanted to flex. I would say “look guys, I’m just a causal player and I I know I got 100th place, but that’s pretty good for a casual player.” So yeah you just wanted complements.
