stop valorant aiming - (using your movement to compensate for your lack of technique)
dont panic shoot and visually confirm you're on head then click, body damage wont do anything
underflicking - overflicking

only issues i could find.

and take your time to actually stop moving and shoot head, notice how you miss alot of bullets, you will get punished really hard in higher ranks for missing

it seems that you also forget to microadjust and rely solely on your first flick

tyyyy

playing guardian for a bit in dms is helpful. i find i aim better with the guardian cus it forces you to take your time and strafe between shots. only reason you shouldnt use it in game is cus you cant spray through smokes or when ur flashed etc (also guardian would be closer to what you would practice in an aim trainer)

actually nah idk your aim is good i think from where you are rn its mostly just a case of keep playing and youll get better obviously

ghost be like:

lmao tho i completely agree guardian is perfect

[turbid drum]

isnt using movement to throw enemies off guard good tho?

[solid socket]

when game doesnt load properly

[tribal phoenix]

strafing and doing micromovement is good

but as the vyko said, using your movement to AIM isnt good

[mossy void]

i never said that using movements to make enemies shoot absolutely nothing is bad, i said that compensating your lack of technique with movement is BAD

[solid socket]

oh like always using movement as an excuse for bad aim

[tribal phoenix]

yeah, when instead of microcorrecting you strafe

[solid socket]

so how do i know the balance

[solid socket]

ok

[mossy void]

yes

[tribal phoenix]

you just have to understand, that you move to make enemies not hit you

[mossy void]

use mouse

[tribal phoenix]

not to aim on the enemy

[solid socket]

well dont you use your movement to aim on enemies while peeking

[mossy void]

its different from what we're saying

and no

we dont use movement to aim on enemys

i use mouse to aim on heads and then i click

[tribal phoenix]

you have to use crosshair placement

[mossy void]

moving is moving, aiming is aiming

[tribal phoenix]

and your mouse

[solid socket]

yeh pre aiming the crosshair inside the wall and using your movement keys until you reach their head

[tribal phoenix]

look what shroud does in valorant

[tribal phoenix]

thats different, thats not aiming with your movement

[solid socket]

yes crosshair placement is just using movement?

[solid socket]

oh ok

[tribal phoenix]

no, thats using your knowledge about the enemy's position

and just preaiming

you cant shoot the wall right, you move in order to not look at the wall

[solid socket]

i mean when you said microcorrecting instead of using movement, how is that worse than tapping a or d to get on their head when basically in addition to moving out of the enemies crosshair you also get on their head

[solid socket]

yh

[tribal phoenix]

because movement isnt precise

and moving your mouse is precise

[solid socket]

ty

im new

[tribal phoenix]

as i said, look what shroud usually does

he stops, aims, shoots

he doesnt move to aim

[solid socket]

and when i see most pros they just stop and spray

but these guides always yapping abt movement

i never will understand valorant

[tribal phoenix]

movement is important

but not aiming with movement

[solid socket]

ok 👍

[tribal phoenix]

look at that kj kill

thats what you should do

[solid socket]

yh on that kill

he tapped a

and moved his crosshair abit

so he used both?

[tribal phoenix]

yeah, he strafed to not get killed

and aimed with his mouse

but you shouldnt like hold the strafe buttons in order to get on the enemy's head

[solid socket]

he used A as a microcorrection to get on their head no?

[tribal phoenix]

no?

microcorrection is when you get on the head, he didnt strafe to aim

[solid socket]

ok

[small dune]

bro

[halcyon peak]

valorant aiming is fine imo it's just that you can't overly rely on it

i like to microadjust after i stop so im technically not aiming while moving, its really hard to aim while moving as you have to compensate for the crosshair moving with movement

[solid socket]

its not that hard is it? you can just learn to control it
