aimlabs to valorant

[pseudo herald]

I seem to have pretty good aim in Aimlabs but in valorant I aim so much worse, it's hilarious, I really want to keep up with others in high elo (I'm currently diamond1) and seem to have better gamesense and util usage than mechanics, and I really want to improve it.

Translation from aim trainer to main-game is one that will take a significantly longer period.

You go from a very "clean/relaxed" environment to an environment full with recoil, accuracy penalities, movement, other player inpredictability, performance anxiety, distractions and more.

Just try to stay relaxed to the best of your ability and avoid overthinking your aim. Just focus at the game.

That's great thinking, I've been trying to grind the range and dms and sometimes I can dominate in competitive but it's really inconsistent, but can't seem to be able to improve my aim agains't people with good movement

Hey, so this is a common problem people post and it's completely normal to run into, so don't worry about it.
There are a couple of things that can be causing this, and I want to list a couple of them and solutions that may be helpful to improve on them

In game fundamentals

If you have poor movement and in game fundamentals, such as crosshair placement and discipline, then no amount of raw aim or aiming mechanics matter, as your bullets aren't gonna shoot where your crosshair is

Lack of confidence

Lack of confidence in your mechanical ability can cause you to take gunfights half heartedly, and be scared to really commit to a fight, and make you scared to lose and this makes you shaky, not really take full advantage of the situation etc

Lack of anticipation

Anticipating and expecting a gunfight is what allows you to take a gunfight and be able to really use your mechanical ability during it. If you are caught by surprise or off guard with a fight, panic sets in and you can't really aim that well

Which of these problems you are facing is impossible to say atm, it could be all of them to some degree or just one of them

I can hit every single shot with the guardian no joke, can hit one taps with vandal, pretty good shots with sheriff too, but when it comes to bursting with vandal, I fall there and seem to miss more and not try to readjudt on the head and only focus on movement

As to things you can do for those problems

Fundamentals

• As your warmup, instead of worrying about aiming and tracking, do some movement routines, and warm up your fundamentals. Videos and drills for this can be provided if you think this would be useful

Lack of confidence

• This is the hardest one to really improve on, because the best way to improve really is just changing your mentality, and being ready, and prepared, and willing to wholly commit to a fight and lose, I can DM you and we can talk more about this if you would like

Anticipation

• This is probably the easiest, you just have to practice patience in your shots, be more dilligent, and generally be more, present in your gameplay, again, resources and advice can be provided on request

But, for me to say what the problem is for sure, I'd need a VOD or 2 to be able to tell. If you have one available, along with your tracker, it would be a great help. Note, make sure this isn't a, pop off, one in 10 games match MVP game, because we're not trying to make your best games better, we're trying to make your worst games better. So a middle of the road, like 0.9 to 1.1 KD game that you did, fine in, will work.
A game that you ate shit and bottom fragged works great as well

moron1#1234 and I have some vods but those are old and I'm better since then

[oblique harness]

Gotcha
You can link the VODs if they're already uploaded anyway just so I can get some background, but if you could record your session the next time you play and I'll have a look at your tracker and let you know which games I'd like to see, that'd be great

[pseudo herald]

I have the yt links sure

[oblique harness]

That works great
Let me know once you have a couple games recorded from your next gaming session and I'll let you know which ones to upload ❤️

[pseudo herald]

I always forget to record tho 😭
