PRO is EASY With These 10 PRO Tips

10 Ranked Tips

1. Organize your brawler pool before drafting. Sort brawlers by class and favorite strong meta options, along with at least one pick you’re comfortable playing in each role. This makes choices quicker and easier to scan.

2. Make a safe, mode-appropriate first pick. Prioritize a strong meta brawler that fits the map and mode. Damage dealers are often reliable early picks, while specialized or easily countered brawlers can be risky.

3. Use picks two and three to exploit or complement the opening. If the opponents’ first pick has a clear weakness, counter it; otherwise, choose brawlers that work well with your first pick. Avoid committing early to an easily countered assassin or other aggressive pick.

4. Use picks four and five to complete the team. Look for gaps in your composition, such as a lack of pressure or damage, and account for what the opposing team could choose as its final pick. Make sure your team can also fulfill the mode’s objective—for example, hold Hot Zone space or deal reliable Heist safe damage.

5. Plan ahead for the sixth pick. Watch the draft as it develops rather than waiting until your turn. Choose a counter to as much of the opposing composition as possible: assassins can punish low-damage teams, while throwers can work against teams with little aggression.

6. Avoid overly repetitive team compositions. Two or three brawlers with the same strengths can leave the team vulnerable to a countering archetype. Aim for a mix of roles rather than stacking similar brawlers without a clear reason.

7. Don’t pick a brawler just because it’s currently meta. A strong brawler may still be a poor choice on a particular map or in a particular mode. Consider the terrain, bushes, range, and objective before locking in.

8. Choose bans based on your own matches and rank. Ban brawlers that consistently cause trouble for you or that your teammates repeatedly struggle to counter. The most popular competitive ban is not always the most useful one for your games.

9. Pick brawlers with potential to carry when needed. If you’re struggling to climb because of inconsistent teammates, consider brawlers that can deal high damage, create pressure, or make decisive plays. Improve your own ability to capitalize on opportunities instead of relying only on teammates.

10. Build a flexible pool and keep a few counterpicks ready. Learn several brawlers in each class so you can adapt to the draft, and develop comfort picks outside the obvious meta choices. An overlooked pick that counters common meta choices can be valuable once the meta settles.
