Play Rage ball ,its a great place to learn how to fight since it's a bit like TDM, but people must focus on killing / ball same time
Indeed, Rage Ball and Siege are both good training grounds, however only in duel:
- Do you not have to worry about the team, so trying out something completely new and screwing it up a few times doesn't negatively affect anyone else.
- Do you not have to worry about finding someone of a similar skill level in the midst of a giant melee. You can just walk up to whoever you want to fight.
- Can you just sit back and watch other people of similar skill levels fight.
- Do you not have to worry about getting stabbed in the back/shot, so you can really focus on your technique.
- Can you have other people actively work on helping you with a certain combat style/technique. For example, asking someone to help you practice chambering, blocking, castoring, etc.
Siege and rage ball are great practice for large melees, but they don't teach you how to fight 1v1 and don't really let you try new techniques. Additionally, everyone is going all out there, so it's harder for very new players to get started. In duel they can ask for help, and MOST people will help them, or at least go easy on them.
The duel server was how I got good enough when I just started in order for Siege to even really be viable as practice. Before I practiced some in the duel server, siege was basically just me suiciding over and over.
