Ranked Tips for Climbing

1. Play for placement first — survival points outweigh kills early
2. Pre-aim common angles — ranked players hold angles more aggressively
3. Comms win games — call out plates, armor breaks, and pushes
4. Don't over-peek — third-party risk is higher in Ranked
5. Save your SR — don't force fights when down a teammate

Good luck on the climb! See you in Iridescent.
