Teabag Prevention: This is How We Roll (Evade)
Teabag Prevention is back with the last Armor Ability! What are the plans for the future weeks you ask? Well, that’s up to you! You know how to get in contact with me, so lets hear it. Which will it be? Maps, Weapons, Vehicles, or Firefight tips? Now, back to this week, Doc…
THIS WEEK: EVADE
Now, I know what you’re thinkin’: What the can go wrong with using Evade in any match? Well, using this wrong will most likely lead to your death and you looking like you’ve been possessed by a demon. That should be a given. Using this right can confuse your enemy, get you to cover faster, or even look like a Super Action Spartan. Evade allows players to roll a distance twice before the ability runs out. It recharges fairly fast, but don’t always rely on it (this is why it’s not the greatest of Armor Abilities).
When to Evade
One of the best ways to use this armor ability is in order to confuse/disorient an enemy during a firefight. For this to happen, your enemy must be in relatively close proximity to you. Since Evade is used to roll forward almost every time, rolling backwards will result in distracting your opponent enough so that you can get a clear shot. Just make sure you have the right weapon (i.e. NOT a Needler or Assault Rifle).
Make sure to always evade the same way your father always told you to walk: with a purpose. You only have two evades per every recharge. If you go around using them to get places when you’re already close to a battle, you might as well go into every spawning round of yours without using an armor ability at all. It’s not called “cool run” or “dash instead of run”. It’s called Evade. Wait till you’re at a battle, and use it to frakkin’ Evade. Evade is best used when escaping a sticky situation or dodging vehicles, so save up your charges for that.
A particularly risky move would be evading to hijack. This may surprise whoever is driving the vehicle at the time, yet might not always work (this NEVER means not to try it, but just fair warning). Time it right, and you’ll have yourself a new pair of wheels… or a new Boosted Gravity Propulsion Drive.
When NOT to Evade
It’s almost entirely useless to evade while getting shot at. Not only will you move slower, but you’ll only disable your only chance at injuring your enemy enough for a teammate to finish ’em off. If in an open space and mathematically unlikely to win if you started shooting now (running instead of shooting when you clearly have a better chance if you shoot back is one of the biggest, most common problems found on any game and you should all stop it right now. Realize when you’re doing it and stop it. Right. Now.), then it is actually best to Evade TOWARD your enemy, which will give you a chance to face them head-on, disorient them and possibly win the fight (what were you doing out in the open anyway?)
Like Sprint, it’s not advisable to Evade towards a boosting enemy vehicle. You’ll just end up as a grill ornament.
Never evade out in the open with low health. On larger maps, there’s a good chance a sniper has their sights on you and that you’re probably dead anyway… so don’t put yourself in that situation (we like to end these on an UP note!)
