I don't even know if there's any real strategy when it comes to dodging other than don't stand still?..
I mean, if you're fighting a decent player with a good mouse you're screwed no matter what... The only time you're ever going to machine gun a goon/rant is if the person you're fighting has to constantly look down at his keyboard to make sure his fingers are on the right buttons (new player).. or if he's using a track pad or just plain sux.. Lol.
Whenever I get into a confrontation with an alien as a human player, I just think back to football principles... make em think you're going one way then break opposite.. that's pretty much it I think...
For example, often most people when encountered by a goon immediately move away while shooting at it.. I do this to, except right before I think he's going to chomp I move forward instead, surprise him and either jump over (from ramp) or jump up to lessen the blow, immediately after I start the ballet where we dance in circles till he cuts me off or I have to reload/run out of stamina/bump my mouse against my keyboard/get dizzy/get bored/get distracted/feel emo(suicidal)/just don't care.. Lol.
Hope it helps.. probably not.
so MEH...
