Why hardware is important in achieving successful bảce gameplay
Let me tell you something about building an effective bảce gaming setup that you probably won’t read elsewhere — your gaming rig will heavily impact how well you execute the various bảce techniques while playing; I have learned this the hard way. I spent over six months trying to improve my performance and found I had no chance to do so whatsoever due to my outdated rig’s inability to handle the fast-paced input methods associated with bảce and the ability to quickly manipulate my in-game camera view. The amount of frames lost during critical in-game moments did a lot to cost me those ranked matches.
Fortunately, you will not need to buy an expensive system to get started. As long as you choose the right parts when building your rig, a decent system that falls into the mid-range price point will work fine for bảce. In fact, your monitor’s refresh rate will be a significantly more important factor to your overall success than having the coolest RGB lighting options available. Additionally, a good response rate from your mouse may be critical to landing the perfect bảce rotation(s) verses missing it entirely. When you choose to invest in your competitive success by building a better gaming rig, you are investing in your ability to compete effectively rather than simply choosing a set of items to use while gaming.
Essential Peripherals for Bảce Gameplay
Essential mouse (or mouse equivalent) and keyboard equipment for bảce. As for mouse equipment, it is arguably the most important component of the experience when playing bảce. Most bảce techniques rely heavily on the player performing a large number of very precise flicking motions, as well as tracking with high accuracy. You will also find that switching from an affordable wireless mouse to a high-quality wired gaming mouse has dramatically improved the execution of bảce techniques for many players because of having adjustable DPI settings and better sensor placement (for tracking).
Another area in which the proper keyboard can make or break your experience with bảce is your choice of keyboard. Because most bảce strategies require rapid combinations of key presses to create a successful end result, mechanical keyboards with a shorter actuation distance provide the player with the ability to execute these rapid combinations of keys more consistently and reliably. You do not necessarily need to purchase the most expensive switch types available on the market; however, you do want to have good tactile feedback and quick response times so that you have a better sense of what your inputs are during a high-stress situation.
Software Optimization
When it comes to playing Bảce, the optimization of the game settings is as critical as the quality of the hardware that you are using. Many players who copy professional gaming setups, commonly referred to as the “pro setup,” make this mistake because they do not fully understand what makes a setup perform well for barce. Bảce play may require you to optimize for visual clarity while at the same time optimizing for framerate. In effect, when your framerate goes down because of all the pretty graphics, you will find that your gameplay suffers.
As for sensitivity, this varies greatly between different players; therefore, you must find a setting that allows you to achieve a good balance in the way you are able to execute bảce techniques. When your sensitivity is too high, you will tend to overshoot during rotations; however, when it is too low, you will not be able to make quick snaps to places on the screen. Take time to experiment with your sensitivity, making adjustments in smaller increments until the movement you want feels natural. Your ability to execute bảce plays without having to consciously think through each aspect of the play will be aided by the muscle memory you build through this process.
Designing a Comfortable Gaming Area
The way you set up your space is just as important as what kind of things are in that space—you might not realize it, but how you set up your space has more to do with how well you play than you think. For example, when I was gaming, I would get wrist pain from playing for extended periods of time. This pain made it more difficult to accurately hit the buttons on my controller, as well as making them harder to respond to quickly. Having the right kind of chair and desk set up will mean that you can have your arms at the proper angle while you play, which may seem like a boring thing to do, but it is extremely helpful in enabling you to be able to game longer and perform well in competitions.
Lighting is something that should also be considered when you are designing your gaming space. You should try to have your monitor be the brightest object in your field of vision, but not so bright as to cause straining of your eyes. Some gamers love using bias lighting on the back of their monitors to help with eye fatigue when they play for long amounts of time. When you focus on all the little things like these, it will create a gaming environment where you will be able to devote all of your attention to perfecting your bảce techniques without any physical distractions.
How Good Audio Gives (You) an Advantage in Competitive Bảce Gaming
Audio is often the primary way you find the “cues” for when different bảce strategies should take place; thus, there is a significant advantage to using quality audio equipment to aid your ability to detect sound. High-end headsets are great for detecting enemy movements as well as coordinating with your team. While “studio-quality” is not necessary, it is important that you be able to detect clearly which way sounds are being produced when you’re in the middle of a bảce match.
In addition to good audio equipment, you should also use quality microphones when you are playing with a team. When you make bảce calls to your team, you want your teammates to hear you clearly and without background noise. Investing in a quality USB microphone will greatly improve the coordination of your team. In bảce, communication is critical, so if you do not have quality audio equipment, the quality of your audio will negatively impact your ability to communicate effectively.
Caring For Your Competitive Bảce Audio Equipment
After your upgrades should be done one at a time and based upon what is actually causing you to be handicapped in your gaming experience. For example, if you are hitting the skill cap because of dropping frames/lag during play due to an issue with the graphics card (GPU), then upgrade your GPU. However, if you are losing inputs during gameplay, then possibly it’s time to upgrade to a better keyboard. It’s important to pinpoint your particular bottlenecks before purchasing any new equipment, instead of simply buying what’s popular because other people have bought it.
Disclaimer
In addition, different gamers have different preferences when it comes to hardware and gaming gear; therefore, the general recommendations provided in this article should only be taken as a starting point based upon what is most common among gamers with bảce style of play in terms of equipment recommendations. As always, test your equipment when possible and buy what is best suited to both your budget and your style of gameplay.
