Iron Tips?
So I suck and I just can't stand that. Can anyone hit me with some tips to improve at Iron and other ladders, because I honestly hate being seen as a noob.

In iron, you MUST be good with a bow. That's why I quit iron, because I suck with a bow. Usually, you are taken down to around 5 hearts with a bow before any melee contact. If you are a bad archer, try the diamond ladder where a fully charged bow does 1 heart max. I cant even do THAT, so I just started on the gapple ladder. try out gapple if you tend to forget to pot and are good at all out pvp. If you are more of a strategy person, try out MCSG, the most popular ladder.

I got 1900 on iron by sword rushing, It didn't last long. If you're good at uhc, you'll be good at iron.

iron is more rush than uhc. With uhc, the bow does more damage.

I play on quake and got to 2080 on my alt but got drained, doesn't make a difference.

Have a good bow strafe, try to avoid melee as 1 critical deals 2.5 hearts.

Lol pretty much everyone said what I was gonna say, and this isn't a bow class so I'm just gonna say that bow comboing is key. Bow comboing is pretty much when you hit the person with the bow when they're pretty close and hit them with the sword afterwards. It's pretty much like a fishing rod combo, but I only do this when I'm running and try to get the quick bow shot on them. Bowing in general is a whole different story and you can look at other threads of people asking for bow tips.

Iron is pretty easy to master if you know your shit with bows, but the thing that pisses me off is the RUNNERS. If somebody gets low and starts running the worst thing you can do is chase unless you know they are one shot. They can spin round and land a bow combo on you, or bowspam their way to victory. It is best to try to bow down a running opponent if you are good with a bow.

When I was like 12 I got to almost 1600 in iron because I practiced non potion a lot, but I just quit the ladder because of runners.
