Review 10–15 Seconds Before Death¶
Core rule¶
The death frame is often the result, not the mistake.
Review the setup before the death.
Why this matters¶
Players often say:
"I died because their bomb hit me."
That may be true, but incomplete. The useful review is often:
- Why was I in that clump?
- Why was I on that wall?
- Why was I out of heal range?
- Why did I walk away from support?
- Why did I not use mobility earlier?
- Why was no tank covering that path?
- Why was I late to the call?
Review method¶
For each important death, pause at:
- 15 seconds before death
- 10 seconds before death
- 5 seconds before death
- impact
- 3 seconds after impact
Ask what changed at each point.
What to look for¶
- wrong side of terrain
- slow mount-up or dismount
- following literal call instead of intent
- clumping with safe players
- leaving the active fight
- support tool placed too late or wrong lane
- healer out of danger range
- tank failing to stop enemy path
- DPS starting damage at zero instead of landing at zero
Training prompt¶
Write one sentence:
My death started when I ____.
If the sentence begins with "when their damage landed," go earlier.
