Very true. Being memorable is 100 times better than being robust.

Lots of good genuine points and advice.
so ill say this, if you actually spend the time to watch and observe “robust” players youll quickly realise that they actually fight with odds stacked in their favor.
So whilst they do everything they should be doing to play good it mostly comes down to them not allowing themselves to be disadvantaged.
eg.
Why fight a 1v1 on lurker, when you can just 2v1 it.
Why go after the prime crusher who’s very alert and doesnt over extend, when you can just pull off to some side combat and kill a less experienced and more squishy player.
Why rush out infront of marines as warrior, when you can just sit a few tiles back off front and grab any marines rushing to secure a kill/over extending.
Why put yourself at risk of getting hurt when you can just sit back and use others as bait.
AND another big thing that contributes to robustness is luck. I swear to god you watch someone like DP and he’ll be in a 1v5 backed up into a corner or something and yknow how in the movies the nameless goons with guns just charge into melee its a bit like that because none of them are carrying a shotgun so there is literally no reason to move into pb range… AND then once dp is finally put into crit they just dont finish so whaddaya know he gets right back up and starts beating down the remaining marines and yes this is a rant about dp now because I swear on the mother mary how much luck can one man get. Its gotten to the point where I believe he has a hard coded passive debuff to all marines near him that completely shuts off brain function.

A lot of learning this game is this,
Learning game-sense,
Learning who to target,
Learning when to be a pussy and when too charge into hive.
a lot of this just comes with experience and time.

Some of the best xeno players are defeated when a Marine just rushes in and attacks.

People play the game their own different way
My way is basically watch learn try to implement. Die. Be mad for a few minutes. And then try again. Its basically just try and try again until something works.
