Snippets from PK last night

[Kilgore]

Sleat / Sobek / Badd RIP, some PK in Blight, but pettered out: https://youtu.be/pNxbQuBsqOU
Badd RIP TV RD. Garrick ripped after, but didn't catch it: https://youtu.be/mtcPABb15KU

Love the format!Props to Rig and Skewer for staying so low.

Was a pretty poor showing from me when we hit out the west gate TV. Just sort of got nuked and left without communicating well. Badd died, but thankfully Dennel and Eros got away. Then I died trying to come back when I mistakenly thought you'd gone through to the east side. Oops. Was pretty disappointed in myself when I was rereading through that night of PK. Lots of lack of communication from me and lots of running further than I probably needed to when low. Still trying to find a decent balance between not just running out and dying and not being boring.

Hit in Caemlyn Throne Room -- https://youtu.be/NX-QKmQqmx8

Thought Vala might have been afk, but log shows she cancelled melee rounds to channel. Looked generally frustrating to be on the receiving end, but appreciated all the effort LS put in to making a stand.

If someone has some tips on how I could have gotten LS grouped there I would genuinely welcome it so I can do better in the future. In the beginning I went and dropped off the non Pkers and then Sleat and I were working on getting grouped with Tolza at west gate when you hit. I got weaved down and ran around the city a bit before dying. Tolza died shortly after. The only thing I could think of is that while running around Caemlyn I had a few opportunities to just leave the city and chose not to. In hindsight I think I should have left the city to maybe have people meet elsewhere to group, but I wanted to give the non pkers a chance to get somewhere more safe, which throne ended up not being so safe lol. I did make two other attempts to come back and group people, but got instantly swarmed and had to flee the city crit both times.

Threw some commentary on this. I don't know how to help anyone get better at PK, but I did talk about what I'm watching in real time. I think processing information is important. Without processing information, you will not improve at PK. I killed myself by spamming south at the end and I knew it and even mentioned it.

I thought it was very helpful. Some key concepts I took away.

1) Understanding both sides win condition and moving towards a space that allows for a balanced exchange.
2) Understanding your team and your enemy team. Skill level, habits, risk tolerance. Trust in your team is important.
3) The use of auto wimpy and dlines
4) The importance of clear and fast regroups
5) That a mangy cat may give away your sneaky attempts

Two things I noticed that I did not hear you address:
1) Choice of rooms to engage, during that pk specific rooms were chosen for engagement. In some cases for mobs, in other cases good flee rooms and in other cases good block rooms. It is important to understand the room you are fighting in. How to chase from it and how to flee from it.
2) Choosing when to flee. There were a few instances where you delayed your flee to ensure a team mate did not have more people on them while bashed particularly in dodge. This saves lives.

Sorry for volume issues on this one, but seems like you can make things out when PK starts

PK starts around 7:26 and tried to do more of that post log analysis. Didn't really talk about the importance of rooms as you mentioned, but tried to do some post analysis of what I missed after the fact.

Was some earlier dancing toward PK, but I didn't really want to die and had some of the anticipationspren around me as it were. Ate a bash but not much happened. Did comment a bit in it though.

I also really enjoyed and appreciated this session. I was skeptical while it was happening, thought we were left out to dry, but LS really pulled together and made this fun.
