This is coming from an EU player who is pretty terrible in general at UHC's however I have managed to get 2 wins… somehow

These are some basics I have managed to pick up from my experiences of UHC's:

1. Caving: You want to be at least half diamond before 40 mins and probably full diamond after that (unless you have a spec) before going to 0,0 and trying to snowball. Also if you don't have a cave don't just staircase aimlessly for 50 mins, go up and try to dig down in a new spot, sounds are probably the most important thing about caving.

2. Picking your fights: You'd be surprised how many people feel like they have to fight whenever they see someone. Personally I don't fight anyone that is more than one piece higher than me and I only do that if I have never heard of the player. If a player who is famous for winning UHC's wants to fight you then there is a reason for that, hey you might get lucky, but if they have 50+ wins, I am pretty sure they have a clue as to what is going on.

3. Team games: The most important thing about team games is to be on the same wavelength as your teammate/teammates. Communication is key and helping your teammate when he asks for it and indeed asking for help is vital. If your teammate doesn't listen to you then you are as good as dead with him, I can't tell you the amount of times that I have told my teammate to run only to hear him complain that I didn't help him and he died, 10 seconds later. That is why teaming with friends is a pretty safe bet as you can trust their judgements more.

Believe it or not but UHC's are not THAT reliant on PvP until 100x100 and still it isn't entirely. If you watch a UHC highlights of someone winning then 9/10 times there was not a great deal of insane PvP required to get full diamond and maybe 5 kills each. Obviously your PvP helps massively and you won't win games without being very good however the first few fights are completely tactical and when you get into a good standing (full diamond and decent healing) then it becomes so much easier to get kills and not to die.

My main account is CammyPotter and I am not claiming to be that good at anything however I hope this helped even slightly!

Oh the point of that post was to as well as trying to help, explain that just because you team with someone good, doesn't mean you will do well and also I feel like you are in the position where you are high elo Build UHC so just assume that you are a UHC god and are very unlucky.

I thought the same like 2 months ago however I have begun to realise that the 'luck' that you don't have is much more skill-based than you would realise. However I could be talking complete rubbish and maybe I was the only one to think that. o/

That is actually a really good explanation, on how things probably go. For me I just want to quit the minecraft pvp thing, since MCGamer is shit, MCSG was great server I always used to play on it( I had a 8.5 KDR and won more then half of my games played), now it is just full with turkish hacker and other hackers and what so ever. Badlion is turning into MCSG, so many cheaters it unbelievable and even from the player you would not expect it, they cheat aswell, eg. many of the famous players use cavefinder/xray.
It is just sad. For me Arena PvP is boring as fuck, because grinding elo is just pointless, because when you have quite the high elo like 2250 and above, the players you fight against sweat so hard to kill, that they drown in their own sweat. So you are basically better off just having 1800 and draining 2ks.
So I mainly play UHC and before I quit I just wanted to get one win. It is also kind of depressing when you have played like 500+ games and still haven't won. And in the End REAL LIFE is life and nothing else.

Maybe there sould be a game for new uhc players because so much new people want to get better such as me so people with 50 or less kills could join it

Lol, watch some streamers. They dont abuse it, but most have their render on 2 and see players easier
