Two things.
There is no global aproach to the fights in the AvA or MA. Everyone is different at different times. Just play how you like. You said that you benn on for 3 or 4 weeks right? I think thats your problem. Give it some time. You are doing a lot better than most people with 4 weeks in this game.
The reason you get more kills in the MA is not the 16 (atlist I dont think so). I think the reason is that the MA is mess. In the AvA you have a 4 on 4 maybe and it is easyer for the good sticks to keep their SA up and atlist avoid you. In the MA, expecialy in a furball, its a big mess. There is no way anyone could keep up with all the cons at all time so it is easyer to get a shot at them.
I die fairly easy in the AvA but in the MA, ecause of the confusion, I can get away from situations that I sould normaly die.
