Decision
Swap for a team need
Build a role-first pool
A small pool keeps mechanics familiar while giving the squad options.
Cover different jobs
Include a pick for movement or rotation, one for information, and one comfort choice.
Practice the basics
Learn cooldowns, escape routes, and how each ability helps a teammate.
Swap to solve a visible problem
A good pick addresses the map, squad plan, or enemy pressure.
Name the missing tool
Before changing, identify whether the team lacks safe movement, scouting, or space.
Stay with your comfort role
Do not swap into a complex pick you cannot use under pressure.
Connect abilities to a shared timing
Legend value grows when the squad knows what the ability enables.
Call the next action
Say whether the team is rotating, holding, scouting, or committing to a fight.
Review impact, not stats
After the match, ask whether your pick created a safer route or useful opening.
Next Steps
