#siege
astral dagger
My aim has always been above average but terrible compared to the best so I want to change that
night radish
Compared to who
astral dagger
The best?
astral dagger
Both
night radish
Well these master and grandmaster folks are fuckin nuts
astral dagger
No talent just skill and practice
Talent only matters for those who don't practice and have skill
night radish
Dont disagree
astral dagger
@astral dagger I basically quit too
its the only game
that manages to tilt me
idk its just a terrible experience lately
The whole matchmaking system is a joke, cheaters, patches are terrible cuz of the out of touch dev team, gunfights feel like they are decided by nothing but prefires and the hs 1 shot mechanic allow so much rng into a gunfight. Also i feel like siege is the only game where theres so many mechanics that can actually handicap better players
its fucking terrible
i mean it also barely feels like a shooter anymore tbh
I hate 3 things about this game.
- Anything that isn't T1 is absolute dogshit, been there done that
- Skill gap is very small and you can't consistently win against worse players with individual skill
- The devs haven't a clue what they are doing half the time and spend more of their day making pay2win skins and appealing to redditors than they do listening to pros and fixing the game
Other than that I love this game
- point together with the matchmaking system causes me to tilt so fucking hard
ánd the 3rd is just sad tbh
Ranked™ still in beta at year 5
But most of all I have played this game for many thousands of hours and it's lost its charm unless its anything but comp
And comp below pro league is dead 🦀
@astral dagger and comp is only fun cuz its comp
by that i mean that its actually not an unorganized shit show like ranked
Its the first shooter i ever rly played, pretty much the only shooter i rly mained till now, and i fell in love with it
but its just not good
anymore
I will have to find a way to enjoy my time in kovaaks because shooting little floating orbs for hours on end isn't very fun
thats why tracking / movement is better
well @astral dagger , when it gets to boring take a break, remind yourself of the fact that IMPROVEMENT IS FUN and then get back on it
and if you do that for long enough
you kinda enjoy it
or atleast are bored less
frank compass
comp is fun because youre playing the way the game is intended to play
then again this meta isnt very fun
frank compass
hes speaking from the perspective of a game that doesnt require aim at a high level
because high level emphasizes decision making and positioning significantly more than aiming does (since most pros as of now are on a similar level of aiming)
hes also not a fragger so his ability to aim is even less important
lusty oak
im literally gonna grind kvk, aimgod, and ow aim arena till valorant launch
astral dagger
@frank compass pengu frags, hes actually rly good at fragging looking at his stats
he just isnt playing an entry role
frank compass
I know
Pengu is an angle player though
Like his playstyle is position heavy and angle heavy
He frags well because hes just genuinely better at making decisions and positioning himself than almost every other player
But his raw aim is kinda meh, and for his specific playstyle he doesnt need much raw aim
This is the unconscious justification behind his opinion of aim trainers
astral dagger
ye my issue with it
is that he says it like it applies in general
not just to siege
frank compass
Exactly
Also when he did do kovaaks
He did tile frenzy mini
So like
He got very little out of aim trainers
astral dagger
he prob didnt do only tile frenzy
frank compass
I dont think he ever did anything other than tile frenzy and ascended tracking
Cause he only used it for hand warmup
astral dagger
and like tbh tiles isnt insanely bad clicking its just outdated, i mean even aimers guide had tiles in it
frank compass
quality is fine
astral dagger
ok ty
I'm not gonna lie valorant doesn't look like much fun in the long run but it's automatically better than pretty much every other esports game out right now because the devs have shown and achieved more than other esports game devs have done in 5 years
Looking at overwatch and r6
night radish
I mean, it’s basically CS so yeah
vivid jolt
Any pro who tells you training aim in a first person shooter is worthless is as stupid as telling a basketball player that practicing shooting hoops is worthless because it's "all about teamwork at the highest level."
And I agree, mini. Just looks like CS:GO but slightly worse because of the inevitable overtuned abilities.
Should be great for the general market, though. Esports specifically, because.. China.
frank compass
lets be real here
is siege really an fps
it looks like one
it definitely doesnt feel like one
astral dagger
i think it looks better than cs @vivid jolt
frank compass
I also think Valorant looks better than CS
having hero abilities instead of utility encourages more teamwork
tepid cosmos
i mean its a shooter and first person
frank compass
and Im kinda interested to see how itll play out
frank compass
bump
astral dagger
its boring and plain
frank compass
bump
I also hate the acceleration
I mostly just hate the movement
and the weapon inaccuracy
frank compass
I dont mean movement inaccuracy
vivid jolt
It looks more fresh.
tepid cosmos
i get spray pattern is a "skill" but its annoying as shit
astral dagger
fucking mini games
vivid jolt
I want to try it. I'm glad it's coming out. But I despise movement inaccuracies and fake crosshair spray-patterns.
astral dagger
dbt kovaaks / aim god and valorant only games im gonna play
astral dagger
honestly toast it doesnt look that bad in valorant
frank compass
because all other movement heavy shooters are dead
astral dagger
its more like 1.6 than cs go
frank compass
or DBT
vivid jolt
It only takes one missed bullet to throw a kill and lose a round and sour my experience.
astral dagger
then you better hit that bullet toast
tepid cosmos
awp also is bullshit
frank compass
make sure ur xhair is slightly up to the right of ur targets head so the inaccuracy works in ur favor!!!!
astral dagger
wtf even is that role
astral dagger
ye
frank compass
I do not like tagging someone for 90 in the neck
tepid cosmos
sit in a spot hold angle with awp and get 1 shot kills
frank compass
and then dying however
tepid cosmos
like kali in siege
frank compass
Kali is a bad op
I wanted a skill cannon forever
but holy shit is she a terrible implementation
tepid cosmos
yea she isnt good but shes annoying to die to
astral dagger
kali and glaz both have like lowest pick and winrate on attack
frank compass
and you dont know why you play it
astral dagger
maybe ubi realizes that a sniper class just doesnt work
frank compass
The only 2 dmrs worth using
are Dokk
and Twitch
1 is broken
and 1 is necessary
I shouldve probably switched the order
but
whatever
astral dagger
I wanted a skill cannon forever
@frank compass imagine thinking smth like that was possible in a game where any gun can 1 shot headshot
frank compass
like
astral dagger
2x the ttk in siege and implement more movement + lean mechanics
frank compass
lemme get find the clip
astral dagger
make it a shooter again
frank compass
cause its my reasoning for why I hate it
dont listen w audio cause it gets loud: https://streamable.com/acs4rc
also whenever it finishes processing
astral dagger
@frank compass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOoCCqHC7Rs watch the whole thing from beginning to end and tell me this is fun
astral dagger
and yeah your clip is a total joke
frank compass
Doc and Rook have the WORST HITBOXES
yea that clip
is why I hate the 1shs mechanic
I rando flicked a wall
because I knew he was in office
and he died instantly
like where is the skill in that???
Im also baiting w twitch with 15 sec left in a 1v4 but lets ignore that factor
frank compass
that jackal is bad
coarse valeBOT
GG @frank compass, you just advanced to level 9 !
frank compass
the aim was fine
the movement was choppy
like that alibi shouldve killed you
but shes horrible
astral dagger
ye was just about the wallbang
astral dagger
movement was choppy cuz im still relearning keyboard mechanics
frank compass
are u using hold or toggle lean there
frank compass
so I apparently lost 60 elo
from what I assume were hackers
but I didnt get a notif
so Im confused
astral dagger
happens
frank compass
if I already got my dia
I would be less upset
but I have got out of p2 this season
astral dagger
im not gonna waste my time on dia
frank compass
pain
astral dagger
like dia is free in a 5 stack
frank compass
It would be
astral dagger
last time i 5 stacked we were on a 17 games winning streak in plat
the diffrence is a joke
frank compass
yea
the clip isnt good
the mechanic is just dumb
I wonder what sens I was using in that clip
frank compass
I mean
astral dagger
does it being unique make it less shit ?
frank compass
Id say it was like 50% luck
I knew the guy was in office
I wasnt sure if he was behind the desk or at the door
and I was betting door
which is why I was holding hallway
idr what else happened that round
but 1v4 with no win condition
I just saved kd
lime wyvern
The kids hyped on ritalin shooting every wall with high fire rate guns is the problem imo
frank compass
I mean
astral dagger
what ?
frank compass
there are two ways to solve that problem
astral dagger
thats just dumb lmao
frank compass
cause you cant change the player
lime wyvern
Sorry. I meant your problem.
frank compass
you either reduce ammo significantly across the board so you cant mag dump every wall
or you heavily reduce the hs mult
cause rn its x50 for all non shotguns
and thats just stupid
astral dagger
i mean every gunfight is a prefire anyways
frank compass
for the most part
yea
like 0.01% of gunfights in siege are actual aim duels
if even
60-70% are info + prefire or common spot + prefire
and the rest are shooting people who arent looking at you
lime wyvern
So you want the hs damaged reduced because you wall banged a kid?
astral dagger
1hs are a terrible mechanic
frank compass
you literally said it was luck
lime wyvern
Personally I don't want to play a game where I have to pick up the r4c to win a gunfight
astral dagger
reducing ttk so significantly does nothing but add rng to gunfights
frank compass
huh
frank compass
the TTK in siege with almost every gun is under 500ms
lime wyvern
You can get lucky on every game that I know of
frank compass
like
thats not the point
???
the point is its a mechanic that in 0 scenarios rewards skill
and therefore shouldnt exist
lime wyvern
Clutch potential would disagree with you
frank compass
and with the ttk being as low as it is in siege, guns shouldnt have 1shs if they are >700 rof
astral dagger
dude 1 shot headshots are legit dumb
astral dagger
lol
frank compass
lol
ocean jewel
famas being a crutch gun
frank compass
i mean it is
its not as much anymore
but it still is
no gun over 700rof should 1shs
and even then
like the ttk is already nonexistent in siege
1shs is just insult to injury
esp because half the playerbase aims dick and lets recoil climb to head
ocean jewel
prob could aim the wrong direction and get head shot
frank compass
while spamming all their movement keys because they think it looks "nutty"
ocean jewel
people who spam there lean keys thinking that they are nutty but look like a total spaz to the people spectating them
frank compass
yea
lime wyvern
I don't know what aim gods you're playing but for the most part unless the person is a silver or gold bot than they're not aiming at the floor like you say
I love it when people spam q e obnoxiously
astral dagger
idk how you can argue that 2shs wouldnt raise the skill ceiling
frank compass
20% have good xhair placement
reducing the hs mult to 2x would make gunplay in siege
lime wyvern
People that I know that aim chest aim chest incase the person is crouched
frank compass
significantly more enjoyable
or even 1.5
for certain guns
I know why people aim chest height
because seasons of shit meta and shit players have ruined my xhair placement
and I now aim chest/neck rather than head
its actually infuriating to me
ocean jewel
crouch is only way to play sieg
coarse valeBOT
GG @ocean jewel, you just advanced to level 2 !
frank compass
fucking
astral dagger
crouch walking is literally busted lol
astral dagger
you make less sound , you are almost just as fast, and ppl pre aim you less
lime wyvern
5 years of siege with 1 shot hs I don't think they're going to change it reguardless of anybody's argument.
From the patch notes they don't even listen to the pros so...
frank compass
Ive also played for 5 years
frank compass
They arent going to change it
ocean jewel
I remember last game i domed some ash aimbro who rushed onto sited and just left the game
frank compass
we are screaming into the void
lime wyvern
So whats the point of arguing it?
astral dagger
its just fun thinking about it
frank compass
but you made this an argument
ocean jewel
bad game pls fix yes
astral dagger
^
raven stump
vivid jolt
Food for thought.
frank compass
pretty much
astral dagger
idk i uninstalled today
frank compass
imaging a better version of the game
vivid jolt
I agree 1shs should be removed on non-low-rpm guns to 2shs. It won't though.
astral dagger
game literally is the only frustrating video game i played
frank compass
even 3 on guns like the smg and famas
astral dagger
and i played league for 4 years
frank compass
tbh
ocean jewel
haha gun go pew
raven stump
yeah 1 sec
frank compass
someone
teach me how to put clips into video
please
I want to delete these clips
astral dagger
at this point im honeslty just annoyed by the fact that i have 2k+ hours on siege
lime wyvern
lol
astral dagger
ye im lucky
ocean jewel
time go bye bye
lime wyvern
Hurls I hope that Valorant is good enough for you.
astral dagger
nah im just exited for smth new
frank compass
same
astral dagger
siege is ass tho
frank compass
very
astral dagger
id rather play a cs a like
with modern twists
than seeing a dev team literally ignoring millions of players
like they dont give a single fuck
frank compass
I really
really
get heated
when the dev team says
because theyve been saying it for 4 years now
its like
lime wyvern
I do hate ubi tho. I bought monopoly and the server crashes often +lobby just freezes.
Like how do you fuck up monopoly
frank compass
why lie at this point, we all know you arent actually going to change the way you guys present info
I feel bad for my friends who go to the pro workshops
to give feedback and then get completely ignored
ocean jewel
jager acog
frank compass
but its such a meaningless change compared to post chimera shit theyve done
that i dont even care
frank compass
yea
lime wyvern
ns
raven stump
ty
ocean jewel
when the guy who wants to join ur cl team buts " Nuts aim " in his info
astral dagger
bet that guy had fun losing that "1v1"
raven stump
XD
astral dagger
he sure thought "oh this is my bad, i couldve played that better" after
frank compass
LOL
raven stump
He definitely had fun, it was a fair fight absolutely
frank compass
literally
raven stump
1shot headshot broken
raven stump
like he had 0 chance
frank compass
"what could I have done differently here"
raven stump
welcome to siege where there are things you can't improve on
frank compass
and the answer is 99% of the time positioning because thats the only thing you could possibly say when shit like that happens
I mean at least that pistol got nerfed into the ground like 2 seasons later xd @ocean jewel
ocean jewel
true
lime wyvern
People can still get instant kills 2 taps with f2 btw
astral dagger
I mean, you can see how frustrating siege is just by looking at the community, guess why literally everyone is so toxic
normal bloom
as aids as siege is i cant think of any better fps that isnt dead
lime wyvern
c5 pog
frank compass
@normal bloom same
Yea
Smoke had c4 and his canisters had the nitro throw mechanic
then they gave him impacts and a diff arc
and then you could yeet that shit cross map
then they removed acog
sad days
normal bloom
anyone play squad?
frank compass
Nah
astral dagger
?
frank compass
Squad looks way too slow
frank compass
yes
normal bloom
it is
astral dagger
ehm I7 8700K not overclocked yet
normal bloom
but if you get a good map its actually good
normal bloom
just clapping middleaged armchair marines
frank compass
LOL
I enjoy playing Tarkov against armchair Navy Seals
very fun
very enjoyable
really love Bush wookies in particular
normal bloom
also cod4 promod still has a good amount of servers
lime wyvern
Why don't you guys just play what you enjoy?
normal bloom
yeah what i like is dead
astral dagger
title says it all....https://streamable.com/uzkdg
lime wyvern
If you enjoy it than its probably better than siege
frank compass
theres too much downtime
frank compass
I like TF2
Titanfall
but its like 20 mins per queue
and I cba to do that
and all my friends play siege
so I play siege
also scrims
mostly scrims
scrims are fun
thats why I still play siege
normal bloom
i just play cas lol
normal bloom
true
normal bloom
but i dont enjoy the game when i have to take it seriously
normal bloom
hopefully the next battlefield is good since theyve had a while to make it
astral dagger
i just need a game
astral dagger
where i can mow down ppl
lime wyvern
frank compass
and a comp community
astral dagger
i dont need a comp community if i can mow down ppl
i just need hate
tilt literally fuels me in a game like bf
astral dagger
well mowing down ppl in comp is even more fun
frank compass
dude
I hate it when I open twitter
see a tweet I want to read
and then it disappears
fuck
astral dagger
almost as fun as fucking streamers , thats #1
literally having your opponent tilt on camera is so enjoyable

cod ghosts was fun change my mind
frank compass
I cant figure out if 16:9 or 16:10 is the superior res
normal bloom
idk 16:9 is more enjoyable but i think stretched is advantageous
raw fox
16:10 best res
frank compass
Ill take ur yellow name as a seal of approval

yall wanna see my terrible gameplay with terrible positioning, terrible movement, terrible aiming, and terrible terrible?

woeful galleon
i need to use acog less tbh, im getting into too close engagements im finding recently

16:10 86 fov might be the best

great meme kek'
frank compass
I just want aim duels
and these kids are vertical clearing Kafe
like
??????????
woeful galleon
I wish i had a coach / siege friend to actively improve. Im planning on posting more VoD's recently as well as doing my own analysis
Are you in casual or unranked
woeful galleon
Lmao wtf
frank compass
like
Im baffled
theyre droning eachother
and vertical clearing kafe
i am fuming
one kid play IQ lmg
gets 2 shitty kills
"gn"
like
I hate it here
woeful galleon
unranked is wild too, i get the wildest queues sometimes
Im literally shitty gold 1, can i have a nice non sweaty match
Also, can i post frequent VoD's here or should i group them up in a youtube video with my own analysis to make things easier
frank compass
doesnt matter
coarse valeBOT
GG @frank compass, you just advanced to level 10 !
frank compass
the most ideal
would be to trim vods for specific plays you want to review
instead of full games
cause it removes the downtime
frank compass
I mean obv dont just pick good plays
woeful galleon
clips where i die or lose is probably the best
frank compass
but narrowing it down to specific things rather than sending a full game is most ideal for reviewing
I mean if you get wallbang hs then no
but yea generally
also clutches and shit
because those are the best for reviewing decision making
even if you win theres usually SOMETHING you couldve done better
woeful galleon
wallbang hs doesnt happen alot around gold 1 and plat 3 unless you're droned out or in a hotspot
frank compass
it was just a rando example of a death that would be pointless to review
but yea
like getting naded, wallbanged, etc
is usually pointless to review
because it comes down to "oh I was in X spot which is common" or "I was droned"
woeful galleon
i have a long way to improve in fps's in general
ocean jewel
Same lol
frank compass
the best balancing
for this meta
Reduce Goyo to 2 Shields
Reduce Echo to 1 Drone (or at least only able to have 1 active at a time)
Remove Smoke's Shield
Reduce Maestro cams to 1 or make them open when Maestro is dead
Reduce Wamai's gadget radius
Reduce Mozzie's gadget radius
Remove Castle's BP
Give IQ Frags
alt for echo would be to make it so the drone is only invis when it is not in use
astral dagger
reduce Valk cams to 2
frank compass
eh
raw fox
Give IQ Frags
y3 hrs
frank compass
valk cams arent really a pressing issue in current meta
IQ frags was peak gameplay
I miss it
very much
IQ solves a lot of problems due to gadget
shes just hard to fit into a team comp rn
on half of the comp maps
cause rn you need Thatcher, Buck/Sledge, Zofia/Ash, HB, and then you get a 5th pick depending on map
tepid cosmos
so many frags now
frank compass
but 2 or 3 of the maps require 2 hbs
so
its hard to fit smokes into a lineup right now
frank compass
its super hard to fit IQ into a lineup aswell
tepid cosmos
I miss the old game with quick leaning and the old UI
I’d take that shit recoil just for faster gameplay 
frank compass
Quick leaning was great
woeful galleon
drop shotting when
frank compass
except the fact it was horribly abusable
tepid cosmos
yea it was just fun
frank compass
I mean
most guns were fine
but the alignment issues made the game feel like CS with weapon inaccuracy
except in this case it was unintended
lol
right now Im sitting here
contemplating which mouse I want to use

Question: all the pre-fires that we all die to, are you in a common spot? Were you on drone? 7-9/10 its a tactical/game knowledge play that won them the gun fight
astral dagger
anyone wanna que ranked eu got 4 need 1? plat3 and up
normal bloom
astral dagger
Is godly noob actually a good Aimer?
astral dagger
@vivid jolt you should do a updated aim guide for siege I’ve watch your old one a lot and I think a new one would be amazing you used the term muscle memory in the old vid a lot I think an updated one while you have more knowledge would be amazing
Would you ever do one????
vivid jolt
I would.
vivid jolt
Whenever I'm good enough to test my ideas and verify them to be useful. There will be no opinions provided unless explicitly stated.

Don't hold your breath. Let alone my track record of flawless upload schedules, it'd be a long while. It's not something I'm actively producing nor plan to in the near future.

coarse valeBOT
GG @woeful galleon, you just advanced to level 4 !
woeful galleon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NTX0tJYAZA what could i have done better? I got very lucky with this clutch. I'll let you guys give your thoughts before I give mine
this is gold 2 btw
another way you might criticize me is how the enemy team couldve dealt with me better
astral dagger
first of smth that isnt relevant as you are already far into the round
but in the toilet cabine you are sitting in has a drone hole to the outside
woeful galleon
oh i know that
astral dagger
usually thats an insanely common spot and gets checked so kinda risky to sit there
woeful galleon
I rotated in there since they took top and they were crap at droning so I was taking chances
its a funny drone hole spot to kill in tho
astral dagger
then, you did everything right playing your time as a defender right there
at the beginning iwouldve aimed towards the impact hole as you would hear anyone walking in to your left and are covered by the toilets
you are way more exposed to the rotation infront of you
so aim there
woeful galleon
alright
astral dagger
yeah the spray.. you shouldve won that but luckily dokka sprinted in and couldnt ads nor did she check angles
astral dagger
the attacker above also couldve seen you, they failed to drone
fuze sprinted in instead of planting default
doka obvsly didnt call out
astral dagger
yeah and finka didnt even hit you sprinting at her
woeful galleon
they threw
astral dagger
the fact alone that their defuser is still upstairs at 0.12 when the 3v1 started at 0.37 is a total joke
that alone shouldnt happen
thats what won you the round
if they wouldve planted default or kitchen window you prob wouldnt have been able to do smth with no utility left
woeful galleon
alot of other clips i would show but i alrdy know the issue is either im getting caught off guard or im losing aim duels
i sprint too much when i know its a hotspot. One of the games i shouldve avoided sprinting too much since my entire team was a 4stack so they werent communicating and they were absolutely being wrecked
i filled for hard breacher and tried my best that game
astral dagger
you only sprint outside
and sometimes if you droned a whole area
and know FOR SURE that there cant be anyone
tepid cosmos
crazy how the siege channel might be the best channel in the discord
Who wouldve thought
night radish
90% of the convo is complaining about how the game is shit lol
astral dagger
@astral dagger I found away to enjoy myself till valorant launch
Scrimming low elo "comp" teams with a stack of freinds
with out the enemy team knowing what elo you actually are
funny af
frank compass
@night radish 90% of any convo abt siege is complaining abt how shit the game is lol
night radish
facts
frank compass
also you can sprint whenever you want
saying only sprint outside or when you know an area is clear on drone is dumb
like if you are unsure abt an area then yea
dont sprint
but at the same time, there are plenty of times where sprinting will not be a negative
astral dagger
but most ppl move in areas they have no intel over
and half the time they just die cuz of that
sprinting in those areas reduces the chance to just die by a bit
frank compass
I mean
telling someone to never sprint is bad advice tho
its like telling someone to never lean unless theyre going around a corner because you think lean spamming is pointless (it is)
good advice
frank compass
@woeful galleon notes about your clip from earlier:
Dokk shouldve killed you but shes bad, you got lucky on that HS, You know one is above and you know one is on site somewhere and you remain trapped in the stall, Finka clearly didn't callout to the Fuze that you were in stall
Feedback: 1.) Dont prefire with the smg11 like that, you got extremely lucky that your last bullet happened to hit head, flick then shoot with that gun. 2.) You should've finished the smg reload. 3.) when the fuze breached above you and the finka shot towards you (giving you the info one is up and one is on site) you should've taken your 1v1 with finka (because if the finka called you out to Fuze then you wouldve lost the round if you werent able to put it into a 1v1 situation). That being said you didnt have the smg11 reloaded so taking that 1v1 would've been impossible to do successfully
that clutch was a combination of bad information/communication by the attackers and sheer luck of landing that headshot against the dokk
Also the finka shouldve easily killed you at the end when you downed fuze
idk how she managed to throw that
woeful galleon
epic thanks

does anyone know if vulkan on t-aa and 80 sharpness is better competitively than running off on anti aliasing
i run a 2k monitor and get ~130-140 and ~90-100 respectively
everything else on low except the shadows and lod
frank compass
case by case basis
vulkan is better for some
dx11 is better for others
I cant tell you
from a visibility standpoint
TAA has a few issues
but they usually arent that noticeable
astral dagger
well whats recommended for comp play? clear image with around 100 frames or 13oish frames with some taa issues?

How do i make my crosshair stay at a target constantly
Everytime i manage to lock onto a target w a crosshair it end up jerky because i keep micro adjusting unnecessarily within the target
astral dagger
anyone wanna help me with placements just coming back to the game havent played since grim sky
dawn coyote
practice tracking?
normal bloom
play voxtargetswitch small
inland lark
Ill try
normal bloom
also maybe youre tensing

im using vulkan to consistently get 144 but for the regular version of the game i set it to 65 to get around 130 frames
im just wondering if more frames with a blurrier or ghosting is better than less frames but with a clearer picture
inland lark
@normal bloom oh ye thats a problem i have as well
Any tips?
@astral dagger i would go for the latter but thats just my opinion
Above 100fps i think it should be fine for me
astral dagger
got it
inland lark
@normal bloom sometimes my keyboard hand also ends up tensing
frank compass
@astral dagger more frames/consistent frames = better
if you have a 144hz monitor then shoot for settings that will get you consistently above/around 144fps
if you have a 60hz monitor just shoot for consistent frames >60
@inland lark if you can link a vod or smth I can probably give you some tips
raw fox
240hz is fun
normal bloom
@inland lark concentrate on keeping your arms relaxed and dont worry about score. after a while it should feel natural but you may still need to periodically remind yourself to relax
astral dagger
@frank compass if you're on 60hz you still wanna push as much fps as possible more fps gives you less input lag etc
frank compass
I know
but its better to have consistent frames
than to have high but inconsistent on 60hz
normal bloom
ill never understand people who vaak with uncapped fps
astral dagger
ye i play low settings on every fps

@astral dagger I've just been playing kovaaks and ranked with my friends until valorant
astral dagger
Jager pick rate at 90%
Ubi adds smoke and nades to every operator and wonder why his pickrate is so high
Unless he's banned he is literally the thermite of defence you have to have him
Making him 2 speed doesn't change shit
Also wamai sucks outside of a few positions
Ubi be like ♿
truth
frank compass
old news
wamai doesnt suck
wamai is mediocre in ranked
wamai is fucking broken in certain team comps
and right now the meta makes Wamai, Jager, Goyo, Maestro, and Mozzie a very strong team comp
astral dagger
The only place I can think of wamai to be better than jager is on garage catwalk to stop capitao fire
And nerfing jagers speed or gun won't change that
frank compass
He also has a deployable shield
and the ability to force utility dump on it
and a good gun
and universal utility
Wamai is very strong
astral dagger
Then why is his pickrate 15% while jagers is above 90%?
frank compass
also the jaeger speed nerf has ZERO affect on him
because Jager is a better pick than wamai
because he is place and forget utility
easier to fit into a team comp in competitive
and more familiar in ranked
idk if the 15% is comp or ranked pickrate
astral dagger
Wdym by "universal" utility
frank compass
but ranked pickrate is literally meaningless
the ability to destroy projectiles is useful regardless of the strat you are running
astral dagger
15% is top of diamond and champion ranked
frank compass
thats what I mean by universal
Yea Dia and Champ ranked is not competitive lol
also last I checked
their pickrate was plat-champ
not top dia and champ
astral dagger
Doesn't really matter, besides the point that their changes are doing nothing but making it more annoying to play jager
His gun and speed aren't what make him powerful
frank compass
Yes
I mean the speed changes nothing abt jager
esp because the speed diff between 2 and 3 is very small now
and the ttk difference is nonexistent on most guns
for all body parts
astral dagger
His gadget didn't just become more powerful every season for no reason, its because the idiots at ubi gave every operator and their dog nades and smokes
And 1000 ways to bait out ads outside of that
frank compass
his pickrate also hasnt really changed for the past year
in comp
Ubi doesnt know how to remedy metas
because they balance off pick rate
its a shitty way to balance
astral dagger
Metas aren't always bad
astral dagger
I do
frank compass
but this current meta is quite terrible
astral dagger
Well I don't play comp anymore but I did
frank compass
Its almost impossible to get good info on attack currently because of mute/mozzie combo on certain maps
and most sites lend to forcing utility dump on deployables/goyo and maestro with jager and wamai in play
also thatcher bans
astral dagger
That's not the meta I was talking about
astral dagger
I'm asking why is needed that jagers pickrate goes down
astral dagger
Why don't they nerf thermite for being one of the most picked attackers
frank compass
its just that ubi balances off pickrate
and now that Jagfer has an alt
in Wamai
they can nerf Jager
astral dagger
They haven't given enough time for wamai to be discovered
frank compass
I mean
yea
they also arent using the 3 month quarantines well for balancing
so
astral dagger
They clearly don't balance off ranked pickrate because they are nerfing goyo even though he is the one of the lowest pick % and win %
Statistically the top 3 worst defenders
Yet he is getting nerfed
So idk why they are nerfing operators without any reason just because of pickrate
frank compass
The goyo nerf is the one comp nerf lmao
astral dagger
Nerfing jagers guns and speed doesn't make wamai better
And it also doesn't make jagers gadget any less important
There is literally no reason to change jager
Just let wamai be discovered and remove nades and smokes from many defenders
Nerf the mozzie mute combo and it will open up a slot in defender operator picks for a wamai
Nerf literally any other if the "must have" picks on defence and wamai will get picked outside of a pocket strat
astral dagger
They have been balancing bad for 5 years
frank compass
so my explanations are going to be shorter
astral dagger
That's why I'm not playing comp anymore ♿
frank compass
¯_(ツ)_/¯
astral dagger
It's been forever and mozzie mute still making support roles almost impossible to play
Still no sign from ubi even mentioning a change

I need the carry throughout this week.

Toast you said you didn't want to do youtube until you learn to edit. But what is stopping you from streaming?
vivid jolt
The fact that I'm way too inconsistent of a player.
I'll snag a nice ace and then potato and die off rip 3 rounds in a row ahah.

@astral dagger @astral dagger You are obligated to carry me soon. I request an EU diamond charm at no effort of my own.

@vivid jolt is that so sir
@vivid jolt I can get on now it you need a player not slept all night haha
astral dagger
Ok boss
astral dagger
Been playing on na servers
Close to diamond 
Gotta love when your stack sucks ass so you play with other people and get placed against your old stack and then they become G2
I've also not played a single cheater this season
@vivid jolt would you add stigs to Aimers pinned I think he is really good tbh especially on his higher sens
Why do you like stigs so much lol
I just looked at the pinned aimers
Don't know if I agree with a few of those 👀
Found a good screencap
Very satisfying
Only just found him recently I just think he is a good aimer for his sens being higher than avg
@astral dagger didn’t you play against stigs and magnet?
Regularly since player base in high elo is small
That’s cool
normal bloom
you duo with namni?
astral dagger
One of the reason I wanna get into higher elo
Play against and with pros and content creators
Im not sure it's an old screencap
normal bloom
ah thought you ran into him in na lol

Im trying to switch from 48/83 @800dpi x.00223 to 54/66
Slightly lower ads sens
From 37 to 41cm
Any opinions?
lime wyvern
I say try it and if you like it keep it
inland lark
Cuz i have an issue with target switching and i occassioanlly overflick so im trying a lower...also im trying toast's guide to find a good sens to start with
Although he suggests 35cm hip and 50cm ads
90 fov makes ur sens feel faster? Or am i wrong
noble belfry
Yeah generally a higher FOV makes things feel faster
lime wyvern
higher fov for me at least makes sen feel much lower
inland lark
What are ur fov and aspect?
noble belfry
90 16:9 feels like your zooming around
inland lark
Lol
noble belfry
I use 80 16:9, or 82-84 16:10 I don't like using more stretched resolutions
inland lark
Ive been switching between 86 and 90 fov 1610
I think i should go lower
@noble belfry do u still use acog?
inland lark
Oh ok
noble belfry
If I used acogs more often I'd probably use 86-87 16:10 tbh
inland lark
I see
Ok then maybe i go to 85 haha
But the difference between 86 and 85 is not significant...idk
noble belfry
Nah its not going to be game changing
vivid jolt
@astral dagger @astral dagger Yeah it's not a list of who I think are definitively the best aimers, but just some of the ones who I thought were notable and was curious of their sens. I'll definitely add some more y'all are interested in, I just didn't want to add too many people because I think it's reaching the character limit.
astral dagger
ah i see
vivid jolt
I have no issue adding anybody you guys want.
astral dagger
@vivid jolt add me new up and coming aimer on 6-6-60 800dpi 46.17cm 1x 33.24cm hip 79.16cm 2.5x
XD

How is it now
