okay, after leaving this game for 3-4 years I'm back to update this

will update again if give a shit

and currently, I play on a different account but

-- i play drogoz since season 0 with champion rank with gm-master on drogoz

-- i have a peak account elo around 3000 and current drogoz elo around 1900 - i think?

-- i have been playing exclusively Combustible drogoz since season 0 and have geometry IQ of 300

I'd assume whoever reading this knows what they're doing so I won't be explaining what his abilities do

=====================================

We will talk about the Picking Conditions

Generally, Wyrm means you want more survivability instead of Damage, but the survivability is only viable by matchup or skill issue - it doesn't work in higher elo/rank

-- you should pick if there is no reliable Hitscan, e.g. you're against BK, Moji, Buck, Drogoz

-- you should pick if you're cliffing or in low-elo that you don't expect anyone to be able to shoot you while you're flying

It means that you want that extra damage for breakpoints against some champions, e.g. 2-shots Evie, 3-shots Buck, etc. It also means that you want extra damage for single target damage and not area control, e.g. Yag, Raum

-- you should pick if you don't need area control by combustible

-- you are comfortable about hitting your shots against your matchup

-- you need extra damage for champion breakpoints

Breakpoints: refers to the number of shots needed to kill certain champions, e.g. Evie can be killed by 2 shots from Fusillade

It's the LC that has the most potential and the hardest to use to the fullest extent. But generally, it offers you area control and CC & champion dislocation.

-- you should pick if you expect the enemy to group up, e.g. Grover, Ying, etc.

-- you should pick if you don't need to meet breakpoints

It's probably the go-to LC if you're confident in your skill, you can 1v1 Androxus, VII, and more.

=====================================

-- Stop using the RMB+Q combo to suicide bomb even if you can get away with it. At a high level, you die = lose, so stop risking your life

-- Stop relying on the Thrill of the Hunt card, you can get away with it on the lower level but not on a higher level since the kill number is much much lower, especially in scrims

-- Thrust less, Fly more. There is no ability for you to get to the ground quickly, they have more visibility on you when you're in the air, much like you don't want to thrust when a sniper is locking you

-- Stop playing close to the enemy. Drogoz might benefit from playing up close but he is the target of the whole enemy team, well at least at a high level

=====================================

-- Move your enemy with a Combustible explosion. If you're using the explosion randomly it won't lead to kills. Explode behind the enemy to push them in or better make them fall out off the map is something you should be doing

-- Learn how to play like a backline. It will be hard to shoot someone at first when you're not up close but you can shoot someone who's not looking at your shots, plus combustible explosion ticks give you a semi-wall hack, use it well. Since there will be times when you cannot play up close in high level game, you have to be able to still contribute to the team then

-- Stop playing like you're against low Elo players even when you are. If your goal is not to get better, use Wyrm, play up close, RMB+Q to suicide bomb, I don't care. But if you're trying to get better, play in a playstyle that you can train so you can play at a higher level

=====================================

assuming you're not a pepeg i'm not gonna tell you you need to be able to do an RMB+Q combo or have map knowledge or have common skills

-- 90% of normal Fire spit explosion has to hit

-- 80% of long distance-Fire spit explosion has to hit (from sniper wall on frog isle to another)

-- 70% of LMB accuracy against falling/flying targets without abilities

-- 35% of LMB accuracy against flying/air-moving targets with abilities

-- Must be able to land Fire spit explosion while/after moving/flying/thrusting

-- Must be able to Air-Strafing (it is a movement tech, yes also Z-jumping)

-- Must be able to shoot accurately without delay on Combustible Exploded targets, e.g. there are countless times that Androxus flew into me, then get shot with combust exploded then shot before he can react

-- Must be able to do things when waiting for Fire spit to reach the target, e.g. on Frog Isle, you can Fire spit to the sniper wall and shoot at the point 1-2 times before shooting at the Fire spit, please use your time effectively

-- RMB+LMB 2000 dmg combo, you can do this to delete tanks - if you don't know what it is https://youtu.be/4fZNTTvMVhI?t=92 or https://youtu.be/4fZNTTvMVhI?t=360

-- currently, there is only 1 combo worth mentioning

Train on those areas if you haven't felt comfortable. You will die, feed, and repeat. Doesn't matter if you're doing shit than usual when training on those skills, the aftermath result is the only thing that matters.
