1. Basic Concepts and Usage of Off Angles
Off-angling means waiting for the enemy in a position that is not a typical engagement spot, but one that the opponent is unlikely to expect.
It is mainly used in defensive situations, and you can easily take kills from the opponent by engaging in fights from unconventional positions in addition to basic angles.
2. Examples and Precautions for Using Off Angles
A good example is ambushing using a specific angle behind the A Heaven box on Ascent or the A site on Split.
Off-angling is a high-risk, high-reward strategy, so you need to keep an eye on the surrounding situation. Even if you catch an enemy in an off-angle to create a variable, it doesn't benefit the team if you are immediately traded.
3. Roles Suitable for Utilizing Off Angles
Off-angles are often used by entry fraggers. Agents like Reyna or Jett, who can quickly escape after getting a kill, are suitable.

6. How to Position Yourself in Off Angles
The key is to predict where the opponent will slice the angle and wait next to it. If you are slightly off the expected spot where the opponent puts their crosshair, you are more likely to get a kill before the opponent can react. Waiting one step next to the wall is also a good method.
7. Advantages of Using Off Angles
Using off-angles can put psychological pressure on the opponent and force them to use their skills. This is very helpful in leading the game to your advantage.
8. Disadvantages of Using Off Angles and Supplementary Strategies
The biggest disadvantage of off-angling is that if you can't get out after getting a kill, you can easily be traded. If you are not an entry fragger, it is best to use it when the opponent's sentinel shows a pattern of frequently coming to the main alone. You should always consider your role and the possibility of escape.
