One of the biggest things that separates pros like Snip3down from the average player is their mid-fight decision-making around when to heal versus shoot their gun. Dedicate a few games this week into just thinking about this concept. If you often find yourself healing while your team dies, look for that moment when enemies might shift their attention to your teammates. On the other hand, if you find yourself consistently getting knocked without ever healing, work on maximizing your HP and not over-committing too soon.
