Here's my two cents about it.
I only watched the first 40 seconds, but I've got a few pointers:
- without some kind of music, the montage feels kinda bland.
- the cuts are a little too jarring, try and make the scenes similar before cutting. For example, if you just rocket jumped, cutting to a moment when you're falling and get a kill is a little jarring. Try and wait for a fall then make the cut, so you jump from falling in the first scene to falling in the second scene. Also try messing with some transitions along with those cuts, might get some nice results, like a quick blend or wipe. Don't overuse them though.
- This is more personal preference, but the near edit-less style of the kills gets old over time. I'm not saying do this for every kill, but maybe kills you're proud of should be emphasized with a little slow-mo after the kill, or some kind of zoom, screen shake etc. Just experiment and mess around and see what you like.
Good start so far, I hope you keep improving :)

the 6:08 sniffing scared the life out of me. but yes probably add music of some kind and maybe shorten the video down to potentially 4 or 5 minutes and maybe make a part 2?

Thank you for your feedback, sometimes ago i tried to do another montage with music and without game sounds, but i wanted to have at least kills sound in my montage that’s why this time i kept the game audio and didn’t put music. In the next montage i will put music and game audio and try to improve cuts and transitions. Thanks again

Cool vid! Would definitely like to hear some music or interesting SFX. You're pretty good at trolldier, so throw in some really impressive kills + editing to keep your viewers hooked to the end. Looking forward to seeing more from you, best wishes
thank you! and yes i will put music and better cuts/edit and maybe do shorter videos like 5 mins thanks again !

For the kill sounds - you can either increase the volume of the gameplay for a brief moment to make the kill sound more prominent, or add it in post. Adding it in post produces a nicer result imo, but is quite time consuming.
