Thoughts on people who don't run/swing in dm?

i think i get it somewhat when people genuinely practice holding angles (vs Hiding and playing off of footsteps), but it's so frustrating to play against

personally, i suck at duels so i use dm to constantly run and get better at hitting the first shot on first counterstrafe

i thought it was like bad practice to walk or hold stuff in dms, but i see less complaints about it - are most people okay with it now or have they just accepted that some people will always play that way ?

i mean if your swinging there is a high chance that someone is chilling and holding the angle your peeking in real games so it can't be bad prac

yeah that makes sense...

I'm spamming dm now bc i'm lowkey sick of being such a passive player and I want to learn to entry

just feels like there is this blurry line between people who use dm to work on mechanics (swing or hold) vs people playing to win the dm

Walking is bitch behavior, holding is normal, it's a basic game mechanic that you definitely need to work on to be able to play the game at a decent level
Also holding angle =/= play like a rat just in case

I think holding is fine, if you are walking you need to be lobotomized

Just remember even if they are holding the angle not to focus on them. Your in deathmatch to improve your own skillset not worry about how other people play the game especially in DM there are way more ppl holding angles to win DM than swinging and since you said you wanna improve on your entry and stop being passive just focus on that part of your game. This also helps you to understand how to swing someone holding an angle instead of just dry peeking A or D without any jiggle or crouch peek. So honestly it is good practice in the long run if you just focus on yourself and let those people do whatever they want

Holding is fine since you do need to hold angles in the game.
