You just need to figure out some tactic that will get you those wins. For example, often I don't even build all that much anymore when someone gets the upper ground/structure. I'll just build ceilings to block their shots, wait for them to get frustrated and jump down right on top of me, build a few more ceilings/pyramids each way, then just follow their movement and hope they jump down to my level, build a wall to block their initial attack and then just try to position myself in away that I can get a hit in on them.
And you'd be surprised how fast you can build with a controller, especially one of those with the extra paddles. It's pretty much instantaneous when you don't have to take your finger off of anything to do everything. Or are you playing with a controller on PC?
