Plus, armbars are harder to land no-gi. Sweat and such.

I don't like the traditional BJJ armbars where you have to jump and sit next to the guy (giving up the mount is not a small thing for me) so I always try to improvise. When I go for an armbar I usually work my way up the guy's body until I'm high up on his chest. I then fake a DWL or a keylock and push his arm into his face. From there I shift the knee on the same side so that it's at his elbow and then lever up with my body against the knee. They usually tap from this and should they try to roll around I won't lose mount.
