Im just gonna leave a small chapter of my book here
Ultra key of power: to make sure you dont overextend yourself as a demo to setup some fancy ass trap that either
-wont work and will get you killed
-dont overextend to watch the trap if you know they have uber ad in particular, num ad is extremely situational and I cant explain it
-a trap that will work at the cost of your life (not worth unless miraculous combo drop or multi kill, prolly not worth it either but extremely situational)
watching demos of invite demos is literally the best way to learn new sticky trap spots
-literally learned a new trap watching a i46 platinum demo raping my team leader like last week lol
-pay attention to what traps work (down below, deserved own post cause its so important)
-for ex: you'd be surprised how effective a simple 3-4 sticky carpet is, that too on a floor that everyone can see
another important thing is to always have a read on the situation, this will allow you to access whether traps should be used or damage output
going back to what traps work, there are times when you as a demo should set carpets or traps to control area, other times you can get kills if you catch onto enemy push patterns, helping you know where to trap, I like to mix it up, you dont wanna keep trapping the same shit over and over again lol, any fucking demo will mix it up, in this case, matches, scrims and pugs are your best friend to teach you these small things and experience will hone your timings and understanding
