#

Hello again

#

I want to ask something about the Viscose Benchmarks

#

Does anyone have advice when I have to change the difficulty of the Benchmarks

mental ridge
#

the fuzz is about negative rc filters wich do the opposite of smoothing and amplify sensor noise

final forge
#

Well not really, pretty much all controllers have some sort of stick jitter. The aim assist boosters are mostly a gimmick to keep the aim assist active in games that have no 0 deadzone setting

#

Well yes and also no

#

Aint no way, i tried 0 and it felt like someone has smeared honey all over my stick. So sluggish no fine control. Even on my left stick in the menu i could instantly tell the diffrence

mental ridge
#

the way i understand it
negativ = jitter amplification
0 = raw input
positive = jitter smoothing

empty thistle
#

a lot of negative jitter values are readding the jitter that was removed by input smoothing

#

then high jitter values add extra so its amplificaiton

empty thistle
#

still decent fine control

#

just harder

its just if the software lets u change anything

#

I swear after 30 mins of r5 my hands get still and I can't hit a stationary target

#

not sure whats going wrong

empty thistle
#

when im playing r5 I try to troubleshoot issues like in kovaaks

#

but it just makes me suck donkey balls

static yacht
#

There is a hole yt channel that has this

#

Lemme find it

mental ridge
static yacht
static yacht
#

Is this a big troll

#

Take a look at his channel

#

This is mkultra of Apex

static yacht
#

I spent 4 months at psych ward and it was better than visiting this channel

quaint karma
#

like i saw a video like that years ago and the guy was clearly mentally unwell

#

he posted on reddit too about this shit and how there was a big conspiracy to keep people from getting max aim assist

#

lol

static yacht
#

i can imagine game being spaghetti coded and shit like that

quaint karma
#

nah this guy is just an ultra schizo

#

the options do what the labels say

static yacht
#

he refused saying it's all there in videos

#

"you can clearly see it bro"

quaint karma
#

only weird thing is that the alc per optics menu affects normal sens even with alcs turned off, but thats is easily explained by it only being in the alcs menu in the UI

#

and in the background it just sets a flag whether its on or off

#

even if you turn alcs off it doesnt get turned off

static yacht
#

bro your aim assist bubble changes with response curve bro

#

trust me bro

quaint karma
#

what does he have to say about the fact that basically every good player just plays 4-3

#

or 4-1

static yacht
#

is there a compass in firing range?

quaint karma
#

and no weird shit like this

quaint karma
static yacht
#

like on top of the screen?

#

damn

#

that's the best way to test AA values

quaint karma
#

yes

static yacht
#

As you can use it to 360 and then calculate offset

quaint karma
#

there was a video testing old call of duty aim assist values all the way back to cod 2

#

disproving the fact that old games didnt have rotational AA or lesser AA or something like that

static yacht
#

MgClutch uses 4-1 with everything set to 3.0

#

Placebo?

final forge
quaint karma
#

the alc per optics just get multplied with the values for 1 ADS

#

1 ADS is 35 yaw 35 pitch

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

works out to 105 105

static yacht
quaint karma
#

3 is 110 75

mental ridge
#

no 110

static yacht
#

4-3 is loved because you get lower horizontal sens

static yacht
mental ridge
#

if you reset alcs you see 3 3 classic smal deadzone

quaint karma
#

easier to track targets moving vertically

#

easier to control recoil

#

especially useful on scopes that are not 1x

mental ridge
static yacht
#

what's that

quaint karma
#

you can track falling or rising targets without having to unADS

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

1 is 35 35

static yacht
#

should be yes

#

105 105

#

idk how does it multiply accel values though

final forge
#

Yes the whole point of alc per optic is same x y

quaint karma
#

it also multiplies the extra yaw and pitch yeah

#

but not the other values

#

but those are meaningless, they only come into play when you reach the outer deadzone

#

and being in the AA bubble fully turns off any extra yaw or pitch effects

mental ridge
#

well i couldn't care less about low sense roller settings

shits for skill less bots

quaint karma
#

easy to observe this if you change ALCs

#

and play around with it

mental ridge
#

people call gen burtons 140 ads already fast as fuck

quaint karma
#

he plays 130 130 not 140 140

mental ridge
#

for many years

quaint karma
#

yeah 5 years ago maybe

#

lol

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

nothing crazy tbh

#

i think in their heads they just cant differentiate his twitchy hipfire sens from the ads sens

mental ridge
#

anything below 250 is pisslow territory

quaint karma
#

250 is higher than 4 hipfire before extra yaw kicks in

#

idk man

#

sounds unplayable to me

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

console master beesive

final forge
quaint karma
#

raw numbers from the files

mental ridge
#

250 ads is slower than 250 hipfire

quaint karma
#

no

#

i mean i guess you can take zoom and fov into account but

#

why

final forge
quaint karma
#

no idea how they decided on these numbers tbh

#

seems rather random

#

for most players anything above 5-4 is probably unplayable

#

and 2 hipfire is also unplayable

#

so is 1 ADS unless you modify it with alc per optics

#

2 is borderline

#

so effectively theres very few sensitivities to play

#

and ALCs are just straight up worse

mental ridge
mental ridge
quaint karma
#

true i guess

#

forgot people play other response curves

#

feels awful to me tbh

#

even classic feels terrible

mental ridge
#

it definitely takes time to get used to fast ads or hipfire but its doable. i started low and worked my way up over 1 or 2 years

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

yes

#

default alcs are 3-3 classic

#

with the wrong vel angle cutoff value

mental ridge
#

i played 500 500 400 400 5 rc and 0dz for a while and kept pushing it

mental ridge
#

outer threshold ?

willow hill
#

Sup chat

quaint karma
#

no one knows exactly

willow hill
#

Yall doing good today?

mental ridge
haughty bay
#

Lol

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

i had chatgpt analyze it and see what other games do but i forgot what exactly it said

willow hill
#

You fucking losers !!!!!!!!

#

Ahhhhhhh

quaint karma
#

but

willow hill
#

You triggered meeeee

quaint karma
#

the different base sensitivities all have different vel angle cutoff values until its set to -1 for the highest ones

#

and in ALCs you cant modify it

#

i assume in ALCs its also -1

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

you cant modify it

mental ridge
#

ah

quaint karma
#

which is the reason ALCs are worse

mental ridge
#

miss read

quaint karma
#

and from some limited testing i did ages ago, its harder to catch up to a target because the AA bubble slows you down before you get back on target in ALCs

#

so i assume its because the higher sensitivities it wont slow you down as much

#

and youre kind of forced to play higher sens in ALCs

#

japanese community apparently calls that part of the AA aim assist c

#

but they dont seem to know it has to do with target angle vel cutoff

#

sorry, target angle vel cutoff is the full name

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

no

#

thats something else

#

i mean this is what google AI gives me

#

same thing it gave me last time

#

but its just reading the reddit threads ive already read

#

just gave you the wrong name before, mb

#

long day today

final forge
final forge
quaint karma
#

conversation i had with it about this

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

i dont really think about it too much since you cant directly modify it anyways

#

and in practice 4-1 and 4-3 are very similar, except for the vertical horizontal mismatch

#

even though they have different values

#

for target angle vel cutoff

#

target angle vel cutoff values for base sensitivities

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

cant remember, read the chatgpt thread

#

i think it gave me a few ways to interpret it

#

in practice 4-3 and 4-1 feel almost the same for me

#

except for what i said

#

i didnt actually give it the files in the end cuz i got bored

#

but if someone cares more im sure they could

quaint karma
static yacht
#

In what way is what I'm asking

static yacht
mental ridge
static yacht
#

Angle in which slowdown works?

quaint karma
#

thats what it seems to do according to testing

#

but i just assume that ALCs have it set to -1

#

it could be something else

#

unlikely though

static yacht
#

-1 in stuff like that means default value most of the time

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

yeah but what is the default value

static yacht
#

idk

#

I have no idea how would one even test this

quaint karma
#

all ik is ALCs feel noticeably worse because of this

#

cant really play slow sens on them

static yacht
#

As you have different sens so you can't even use time it takes to 360

mental ridge
#

-1 sounds like like its permently off

quaint karma
#

target moves to fast -> you cant catch up with it anymore

#

too*

mental ridge
#

so constantly max aimassist slowdown

quaint karma
#

yeah

#

i would assume so

mental ridge
#

in other words alc have stronger aimassist?

quaint karma
#

thats probably the reason gen doesnt play a lower ADS sens

quaint karma
mental ridge
quaint karma
#

whether it actually feels better to play is a different story

static yacht
#

Who does even play alc?

quaint karma
#

gen

static yacht
#

Except gen and wxltzy

quaint karma
#

lol

#

wxlty plays 4-3 im pretty sure

#

lsat i checked

static yacht
#

500 150

#

And unlucky

#

500 150

quaint karma
#

unlucky plays 4-3 too

#

no?

static yacht
#

Am I stupid

#

Nah I'm pretty sure it was like

quaint karma
static yacht
#

2 weeks ago I checked both of them

static yacht
#

He played Newcastle and he flicked around to readjust his Q very fast

quaint karma
#

unlucky used to play 5-3 about a year ago or so

static yacht
#

Which is why I decided to check

quaint karma
#

and i think wxltzy played the same but most people swapped to lower hipfire sens

#

no pro plays alcs anymore

#

other than gen

#

not for years

#

you maybe found their old sens on liquipedia @static yacht

#

page hasnt been updated since 2023

static yacht
#

probably

quaint karma
#

or parts of it were updated then

#

other stuff is very outdated

#

most pros were already on 4-3 or 4-1 in 2023

static yacht
#

it's over.

quaint karma
#

zaine still on classic

#

which shows when he takes a close range 1

static yacht
#

Zaine?

quaint karma
#

hes not very good at those

static yacht
#

Is that from citadel?

mental ridge
#

aimassist maxing

I have no shame

idk what team hes on now

static yacht
#

Who am I mixing him up with

#

Mad Maggie guy

#

Zuni

#

Yesh

quaint karma
#

zuni is mnk

static yacht
#

I mixed them up

quaint karma
#

but yeah i think he should play higher classic sens or just swap to linear

#

i can tell hes struggling close range

static yacht
#

4-4 good?

quaint karma
#

why not

static yacht
#

I still can't bring myself to reads

quaint karma
#

4-3 is more consistent

static yacht
#

On 4-3

#

Feels like I'm handicapped

mental ridge
quaint karma
#

slower is always better, to an extent

haughty bay
#

Zuni swapped????

quaint karma
haughty bay
#

Wtf

static yacht
static yacht
mental ridge
quaint karma
#

gonna take a while longer to get used to it

static yacht
#

still thinking about going back to mnk

haughty bay
#

How many hours on mnk

static yacht
#

400

quaint karma
#

maybe play 4-1 3.5 or something

#

horizontal and vertical sens matched

haughty bay
#

Stay on mnk

quaint karma
#

and faster than 3 ADS horizontal

haughty bay
#

Fuck controller 😂

quaint karma
#

will feel much more free when youre ADSing

#

and more consistent than 4

static yacht
haughty bay
#

Ohhh

static yacht
#

I'm stretching it but not a lot

#

Controller might be for me

haughty bay
#

Yeah then controller is better in this case tbf

static yacht
#

Having 9-5 = being a 40yo dad with 5 kids skillwise

haughty bay
#

Ahahah

quaint karma
#

well i recommend 4-1

#

and something like 3.2 or higher

#

not too high, will be too fast for your stick control

static yacht
#

I remember switching back and force between alc and 4-3 and

#

Because of how much you have to pull down on 4-3

quaint karma
#

yeah 3 is 110 75 like i said

static yacht
#

I think I would have felt diff between 110 75 and 105 105

quaint karma
#

its 1:1

#

those numbers are from the files

#

i play 4-1 3.1

static yacht
#

I'm schizomaxxing at this point

quaint karma
#

i can confirm

static yacht
#

I'll just play

#

Kazakh from Horde swapped to roller despite being like

#

Top 5 mnk eu

#

That's why I decided to try

quaint karma
#

did he really

static yacht
#

Well kinda

quaint karma
#

is he the kazakhfem guy on r5

#

i hope not

static yacht
#

???

#

Nope

#

Shgwhwhueuwj

#

Wtf is that nickname

quaint karma
#

yeah cuz that guy is garbage

static yacht
#

he's Kxzakh on r5

#

Or Kvzakh

#

He still plays tournaments with mnk

quaint karma
static yacht
#

But scrims, ranked all controller

quaint karma
#

well theyre the same skill level

#

unlucky

static yacht
#

Wait 27 hours

#

Idk then

quaint karma
#

wont affect the elo

#

you can go from wrong elo to your correct elo in like 2h of playing easily

static yacht
#

Can you see separate MnK and roller stats?

#

Do they add up together?

#

To count accuracy for example

#

?

quaint karma
#

no but 800 mnk kills and 7830 controller kills

#

unless he played mnk on there recently it shoudlnt affect it

#

i mean its all relative, i guess 600+ elo is not too bad

#

but miles behind the best players

#

i mean this is jsut 1v1s

#

strafe matters

#

plus people are much harder to hit on here than in-game

static yacht
#

still idk why

#

People told me "strafe mismatch is why I don't play r5" but what does it actually mean

#

Do they talk about

quaint karma
#

smg strafe speed is faster on r5 than in retail

static yacht
#

No slowdown?

quaint karma
#

lsat i checked

static yacht
#

260?

quaint karma
#

apex adjusted it in retail ages ago

static yacht
quaint karma
#

for shotguns and smgs

static yacht
#

183 for AD?

quaint karma
#

idk the exact numbers

#

just know it was in the patch notes like 2 years ago

#

and r5 strafes feel faster

empty thistle
#

I feel like r5 has weird desync issues too

#

some one will like not move then do 5 ad spams in 1 second

#

atleast for me when I play na

quaint karma
#

all that is to say, r5 doesnt really play like the real game

#

its good for getting better though

empty thistle
#

I'm still waiting for the get better part 🥀

#

I've been hard plateaued since being sick

quaint karma
#

maybe you just reached your controller baseline and you had to work your way up to it

#

now the real improvement begins

empty thistle
#

probably

#

I was getting noticeably better everyday

#

now its just like zzz

quaint karma
#

yeah thats kinda unusual right

#

unless youre new to something

#

or havent done the thing in a long time

empty thistle
#

but I feel like im still worse than when I was sick, and my elo + acc reflects the same

#

rly thought the 2 weeks of grinding through it would bear some fruit

quaint karma
#

i mean when i used to aimtrain sometimes there were weeks where i didnt get a pb in certain stuff

#

and then miraculously one day i would have a crazy pb and you know how it goes

empty thistle
#

praying that happens

#

just told myself I need to spam 100 hours of r5

#

then reassess

quaint karma
#

im consistently above 800 elo on r5 now all the time

#

even been playing my old 1k hz controller and swapped between 4 controllers the other day and stayed above 800

empty thistle
#

I've just yoyo'd around 550 elo mostly

#

peaked back up to 630ish a few times but quickly fell back

quaint karma
#

i used to go from very high 600s on bad days to just under 800 or maybe a tiny bit above it

#

when i didnt grind r5 every day

#

huge range

#

i mean like i said, i used to also get on and just warm up for a round

#

that shit drops your elo

true ravine
#

r5 has elo now?

quaint karma
#

the other day i thought itd touch 900+ but the round before was shit cuz i was testing raandom settings

#

so didnt happen

quaint karma
true ravine
#

crazy, gotta play it again

quaint karma
#

700s is really good already

#

so not exactly true that kazakh is shit for being mid 600

#

but yk

#

its all relative

#

most pros are like 700 to 900

#

some above 900 but theres not a lot of people above 900

#

like 30 people

#

out of 20k players

stable magnet
#

what is elo?

quaint karma
#

and most of them arent pro

stable magnet
#

how to see our elo

quaint karma
#

on r5?

#

r5 leaderboards

stable magnet
#

yeah

#

oh

#

you mean score

#

😭

quaint karma
#

yeah its called score in the column i guess

#

if you hover over it they call it elo

stable magnet
#

just to be dominated by controller

#

that's sad

quaint karma
#

near impossible to have elo that high if youre not controller

stable magnet
#

i know

#

that's what i'm saying

#

"just to be dominated by controller"

quaint karma
#

well i play controller

#

so

#

wouldnt be up there otherwise

#

i was gaining elo playing mnk in the 700s the other day

#

but you play mostly just against mnk and most of them suck

#

so idk lol

static yacht
#

Between best mnk players and average rollers

stable magnet
#

accuracy

static yacht
#

Yeah

stable magnet
#

yeah

#

.3 AA

static yacht
#

95% of the time I would say

#

On controller you might get oneclipped every eehhh

#

Second time

quaint karma
#

the numbers are much closer if you just look at SMG stats

stable magnet
#

yeah, you do

static yacht
#

I know strafe makes a difference and all that but still

quaint karma
#

controller still wins on acc tho

#

i mean its an idealized scenario

#

from my experience it doesnt play out like this in-game

#

at least not if youve reached a certain skill level

#

mechanically

static yacht
#

you mean it's not that onesided

#

In actual game?

quaint karma
#

i barely even notice if im fighting mnk or controller in-game

static yacht
#

True

quaint karma
#

and you also cant tell by your teammtes or enemies damage numbers

#

so it must be even in some way

static yacht
#

I guess no slowdown makes a difference as you have less skillgap as you have lower strafe speed

#

If we take straight 1v1s

quaint karma
#

and yeah, r5 is very ideal for controller, faster strafes, everyones wraith and on top of that wraith has a smaller hitbox than in retail

#

and she already has the smallest hitbox in the game

#

much easier to hit shots in-game

static yacht
#

"Retail"

#

🥹

#

that's how we call it now

quaint karma
#

really we should be calling r5

#

r5r

#

and retail just

#

r5

static yacht
#

why is it r5 again?

quaint karma
#

thats the name of the exe

static yacht
#

I saw r5 signs in-game on small

#

and technically r5 is r5reloaded but everyone calls it r5

be sitting on a 1.8kf with 34% acc somehow

I'm trying to play 2 hrs of r5 each day now anyway

#

I can probably try to learn cause isn't it good on axle?

And I'm sure I'll figure out wall bouncing with it i have my keyboard actuation points really low should i keep my wasd low?

#

So is lurching adding move back input too with the move forward from what I'm reading?

#

I think i lowkey found something to work on when i take my adderall cause lowkey aim training on it has gotten to the point where my aim has been really good when I'm like lowkey out of it cause at that state my heart rate med is the only thing active i lowkey can become cracked at apex if i practice these movement techs

#

Rn I'm just messing around hella tired

rose wraith

it + slide jumping + stowing weapons as you move are the trinity of apex movement

if you only learn two things, learn how to tap strafe and learn how to slide jump stow deploy weapoins

#

@rose wraith since you're a coach so my buddy also plays apex and he recently got kovaaks I'm gonna have him buy a nice mousepad so i have my own playlist and stuff and I'm capable of putting playlists together you think it would be good to put him on what i do or you think i should make him do a bootcamp of the viscose benchmark before putting him on something that isn't easy like he has good aim but like the fundamentals of the aim training is difficult i plan on getting him up there so at one point we can make a run for pred

#

My own playlist was soley made for overwatch but it lowkey really helped getting back into apex

rose wraith
#

i think he should play lots of apex and also spend lots of time practicing running through the firing range anti mirroring dummies

tame island
rose wraith
#

also make him sprint between two different loot boxes in the firing range and have him practice pulling out a completely new kitted weapon as fast as possible then going to the next box and doinng it again with a different weapon

#

a sense of urgency during the post squad-wipe reset
comfort and calm tracking during up close fights

#

these are probably where beginners experience the most pain

tame island
#

This one

rose wraith
#

i mean

#

sure

#

its a scenario you can do

#

but most of what i would give a new apex player are in game drills

tame island
#

Yea in game drills are important but certain things i like doing in kovaaks cause i shut off my brain and just follow the glowing green target less going on if you understand what I'm saying like in overwatch coaches will tell players use the custom game code vaxta which is used for practicing aim and stuff on bots but like there's so much going on when you have alot of bots making noise and all that stuff

bright slate
#

the thing with vaxta

#

is its movements you will find in game

tame island
# bright slate is its movements you will find in game

Oh for sure but like I've been practicing anti mirroring in i find it better aiming wise than in game but there's certain characters you need to do in game but the characters i play which you know doesn't make a difference if i do it in kovaaks or in game

#

Before my 7 day vacation i was lowkey frying people with the sentinel one thing i do in kovaaks is fast dynamic clicking that involes micro correction and it helps me hit headshots in fast pace fights i also have one clip killing an octane trying to get away with his jump pad using iron sights because i also do bounce dynamic clicking and i didn't have to guess and take a shot it naturally happened idk but i feel like aim training routine on top of in game training has been really beneficial

#

are you new to mnk?

tame island
#

This is what i genuinely use for my keybord settings should i change any of these or is this fine if i'm trying to learn movement techs

tame island
haughty bay
#

oh okok

tame island
#

I've had it for a year

#

before that i had a cheap $30 redragon keyboard that had their red switches then i went to that keyboard it was $90 which i don't think is too bad it has a metal body and all that and the akko magnetic switches that's in it are really amazing i was gonna buy jade pros when i got this but stuck with the switches it came with

haughty bay
#

nice

tame island
#

Ngl magnetic switches are a must in apex like movement just feels so much better than mechanical

haughty bay
#

yeah i have magnetic switches aswell

tame island
#

My buddy plays on a one handed keyboard it's mechanical i gotta try to convince him to get a magnetic keyboard cause he does like movement stuff and it'll be better for him if he uses magnetic

#

I wished apex let you change the color of the crosshair like reticle is nice but i hate how the crosshair is white

#

Did any of yall used the glowing reticle when it was a thing before they patched it i miss that shit

#

I just noticed with the right timings on hitting axle nitro you can technically chage the direction of where it boosts you canceling the jump but it moves you the direction like the tap strafe but it keeps you sliding that's probably gonna be super helpful

#

I'm still messing around with movement to get more of a feel with tap strafing

#

This is super useful actually cause if you're getting chased and you throw it down you can change direction while the enemy gets lunched forward

#

He blinks like 3 times when he pops it's really easy to spot if he popped it and you have high ground

Next time you fight a mirage and he pops ult pay attention and you'll see it

#

I've come to the conclusion that the reason I'm hardstuck on roller now is cuz up until 600 elo ish it was a stick control issue I was fixing by playing aimlabs

#

now I'm back to being capped by my reading 🥀

#

tried focusing on it past 2 days and ive been shooting better but it mentally fries me a lot quicker

Elo doesn’t reallly translate across inputs

If I’m in a mnk only lobby I can have like a 5kd

#

Usually I’m averaging between 1.5-2

#

but ye, I think stick control seperates the bad rollers

#

then reading and dodge seperate the good ones

#

I fixed the stick control issue

#

now my reading is just handicapping me

mental ridge
empty thistle
mental ridge
#

yes but all.the r5 reloaded statistics dont show that

they only show mnk vs mnk and roller vs roller kd and accuracy

empty thistle

I guess

I'm skeptical on accuracy these days

#

im trying to dodge more and my acc is way down

but my kd is pretty similar

legit sitting at 34% acc recently

yet my kd is 1.8

Has someone done a study on how physical training affects your gaming skills?

I remember briefly in osu!, which is basically pure mechanics no gamesense no nothing else game, WhiteCat who dominated in 2019 told everyone that secret is to have 8 hours of sleep, eat healthy and exercise on top of you playing for a few hours per day

static yacht
#

Some teamfighting concepts from totally different game I used to be pro at were transferable to apex at basic level

#

So I had the vision right from the start, hence why I genuinely fell in love with the game

#

Mechanics wise, ehh, different story

#

If Apex is dead I'll genuinely just quit online gaming

#

There's nothing else like that

quaint karma
#

so that may be part of it

empty thistle
#

Mechanics part solved

#

R5 really making me question my reading skills

#

Especially on roller since there is no a d keys

#

I feel like depth change reading is so important for your whole read to be accurate

#

And I suck at doing it quickly

static yacht
empty thistle
#

@quaint karma is there a shortcut to getting better reading

#

I was thinking each day I just pick one thing to focus on reading wise

#

Whether that’s depth perception, accel magnitude, mirror or anti mirror strafe etc

static yacht
#

Doesn't roller just give you a lil bit of free reading due to 0ms reaction time so you have more time to react with your actual brain?

#

And over time you can get better at it?

#

That's how I imagined it

empty thistle
#

I’d say roller skill gap is more reading intensive than mnk

#

Cuz on mnk you actually need reactivity

#

Initial reaction is handled by aim assist

#

So it’s just reading and stick control

static yacht
empty thistle
#

I guess it removes a small part of reading

tight totem
#

i think he means that since you dont have to do reactivity, its all smooothness and recognizing the possiible patterns

#

rather than the pattern changes

empty thistle
#

Smoothness is very easy on roller

#

And reactive is done by the aim assist

#

So it’s all control tracking style accel and depth reading

tight totem
#

by the way worzel we should play one day

#

one day..

empty thistle
#

Cuz it takes a while for roller to go full left stick, the strafe direction changes decel period can be longer too.

#

I also think of it as accel reading but technically it isn’t
