How do you combat this?

I'll be the first to admit that I suck at PvP, but it's hard to improve when you don't necessarily want to use what's best. Any tips? this scenario is something I go through on a regular basis. Also, I'm not bashing the weapon or playstyle of my opponent, I just want to improve. I know that HC's are the meta because of their high burst damage and peek shooting capabilities, but in this footage I'm the one trying to use cover and my opponent is clearly out in the open easily taking me out and everyone else. [b][u]Note[/u][/b]: I know that the weapon my opponent has is [b]thorn[/b], but as I already stated this is something I go through whether it be Thorn, Ace, Fate bringer, and all of the rest of the popular HC's.

    What’s up buddy. I’m a 3.0 KD top 0.1% player and I’m gonna give you some tips. Your positioning in this clip is FLAWLESS and on the other hand your opponents is horrible. This was your gun fight to win but you lost, why? Three reasons; 1. Bad awareness. 2. You missed your shots. 3. You did not slide into the engagement. Let’s break it down. You get a radar ping AND you see him. You know he has a hand cannon and that he’s not playing cover. You’re using an auto rifle, so you can NOT peak shot him, he will always win. What you should have done is slide into the engagement, giving away your cover. Most people will see this as a bad play but they would be wrong. You standing near cover in this specific situation is doing nothing for you. You can’t peak shot, you have nowhere to run if you start to lose the engagement, and you’re using an auto rifle. You needed to take the all in and go for the kill or a trade. Sliding into the engagement while strafing gives you the highest chance of winning this gunfight. Even with poor accuracy, because auto rifles are extremely forgiving, you would win this if your opponent misses a single shot while you’re sliding or strafing. Also, I love your attitude in regards to improving. Keep up the good work! If you’re interested I go coaching on Fiverr under the name ItsNax.
