Can confirm zones are detrimental to your health. 9 times out of 10, if you go for a zone, you will die.
If you stay far away from them, you'll probably still die, but not as much.
Optimal IB Zone Control is as follows.
1. Grab the first zone with your team.
2. Death ball the enemy and just spawn trap them in their zone. You can cap B, just never pushed towards the third zone.
3. With your absolute manhandling of the enemy team, you'll probably have all your supers and they won't be able to fight back. So when the drop zone comes in, you win by default.
4. And MOST importantly, make sure you also bag, emote and send sus messages to the enemy team so they know for an absolute fact that your 6 man death squad just dunked on a group of solo or duos. Really rub it in, ya know.
That my friends, is how you play IB.
Yes! So many people get bored and think “we have C and B, let’s go get A”. Bad idea - keep C and B, let them come to you - or spawn camp. But don’t get A ffs.
