So I hit gold III archer today which surprises me because my goal for the whole season was to have gold V in one ladder! (Im gold in 5)!

Now since I've hit Gold III, my goal now is to hit Emerald V in this kit.

Do any good archer players have any tips for me to go from decent to good at the kit?

I'm really bad at the practical side of archer, but know the most important strategies I'd say (I'm EM4).
1. Turn on hitboxes, this is probably the most important part. If you're bowing at long range you can easily see the arrows coming and you easily dodge them.
2. If you're fighting a better player than you try to arrow boost yourself into them / try medium range.
3. Don't pearl to far as your opponent can get easy shots on you.
4. Primarily focus on dodging, then try to keep your aim steady and try to predict as well as you can
5. Don't have a spefific dodging pattern. If you're bowing at close distance use every element of dodging available (eg. jumping, fake strafing, fast bowing, arrow boosting,…)

bow boosting is easily countered and annoying so don't do it
ive said otherwise in the past, but it's actually best to combine a good strafe with dodging, especially at mid-long range. After every shot, move around, then dodge if the arrow is in your path
Don't be afraid to short range
