Pip DPS from 2016-2021

Intro

This Account, HealEqualsDps, is the Alt account to showcase this loadout as Pip Dps. My Main account is: TTVAdamCarson. I have been playing since October of 2016, So I've been playing and updating this Loadout since then basically 5 years. I Even have a Ying mirror tattoo, and soon to be tattooed pip blaster! I have around 4,000 hours in Customs doing 1v1's on Pip for about 95% of the time. So I get to experience a lot of the changes to Champions kits a lot, and see how they can be used, and weird facts about flipping graffiti upside down on every crate in the game.

Concept of Playing Pip DPS

The theory of Pip is to create off-angle's and awkward tracking for the player trying to fight you. So Being able to tell what is going on in the game, where champions are and who they are. So a good game sense will go a long way when trying to run/ride your mount to the backline to save time and abilities.

THE CATALYST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ABILITY. Catalyst is the old name for an ability on Pip, but it stuck with a lot of the main players. This will be the BIGGEST part of your kit. Landing that one single shot is the key to a good fight. from 3-4 shots but missing will take it to 6-10 shots per kill.

Always try to Flank, Even when calling it Dps, it may be a small or big flank, and that shows what role you are. Circling around point to focus the Healer if it is Seris, Ying, IO, or Mal'Damba is really crucial to overtaking point. Then focusing the off-tank, unless there is a High HP Point Tank.

So if you're flanking take the time to go the extra distance to flank as wide as possible. More people in the catalyst, the more you'll be able to spread dmg early on Siege or in rooms on TDM/Onslaught.

How to play Pip DPS

on WHO TO FOCUS you will find all the champions and what order you should be fighting people. When you have two from the same list, use your own brain to make the decision on which is better, so if they're next to each other, you know which one to target first.

on ITEM BUILDS you need to focus on building the major items first... LIKE CAUTERIZE, PLEASE BUY CAUT... so many newer players do NOT buy caut, and it is one of the biggest mistakes possible. It removes the ability to heal, So they dont get 1->100 hp in a second cause the enemy had two healers and poof they're full HP, and you're not.

When countering someone who counters you, its mostly in the playstyle. Know the weakness of how that Champ effects you. For buck, you stay super passive, and have good ability management to always be a step ahead of his rushing butt trying to bounce house or net you.

you will find the people who counter's pip under FOCUS LAST / COUNTERS TO PIP list below.

Try your best to jump into a fight once, if you hit your shots take another jump to stay in, if you start losing, use the last 1-2 jumps to get out. That is how long it should take to fully decide on staying or running from a fight with pip.

Good Luck, Have Fun!
