if possible send an aimtraining playlist on aimlabs or kovaaks I have both
#valorant dm help

oh also forgot to mention I want to know a good strafing pattern currently I do ad ad someone told me ad crouch or ad ad crouch is better idk
ancient root
try not to develop any strafing pattern it will make you predictable, do what your opponent will least expect, sometimes doing a-a-a or d-d-d can be useful just to confuse the enemy
i wont comment on xhair placement its a new map but practice your recoil i saw you whiff a few sprays

i believe this would help

@ancient root do comment on crosshair placement its bad even on old maps that im used to is customs a good way to practice if not does it just come with experience and time?

iirc yay did play customs to get his robotic like ch placement
customs isnt bad at all,. its actually really good. ( i jus find it boring )
although some angles r kinda fuzzy to figure out hs level w out a second person
blissful crescent
just helpful
stiff flame
just helpful
doing it after/before ur session could help
if you played like haven and u notice thats ur worst map id do it after
blissful crescent
oo ok

i like to unbind w and play deathmatch to practice crosshair placement, especially on maps i dont know, that way im forced to move left and right to clear every angle
customs is better for practicing utility than crosshair placement since you cant really place bots down on angles

here is a comp vod that @meager raptor asked for https://youtu.be/UjEVcJYrH6w

ok\
meager raptor
here is a comp vod that <@927469993107525672> asked for https://youtu.be/UjEVcJ...
what rank btw @blissful crescent
blissful crescent
I dont think so maybe I do have vsync so probably actually but idk how to turn it off and its not like my gpu is amazing
4060ti so its fine
meager raptor
vsync is in ur graphics settings
blissful crescent
but I think it will do not much more then 144
blissful crescent
whats the upside to playling low
meager raptor
it might at first but i would just switch anyway
make sure you turn off vsync
anything with the name sync is bad
like no matter what
99% of the time itll be bad
blissful crescent
I dont see vysnc
meager raptor
blissful crescent
k its off
blissful crescent
k
meager raptor
uninstall valorant tracker app
like the overlay
its hurts ur fps and adds input delay
blissful crescent
the overlay>?
meager raptor
yeah the valorant trcaker app
yk when u press tab at it shows u the kills in rounds and stuff
remove that app
blissful crescent
is it fine if I just disable overlay and keep app installed?
blissful crescent
yk when u press tab at it shows u the kills in rounds and stuff
yeah
blissful crescent
so just turn this off
ok its off
is there anything else settings wise
@meager raptor ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
meager raptor
set ur graphics to low and change the fxaa and 16x to lowest options
also turn off the cast shadows distortion bloom and improve clarity
all of them unnecessary
if you really don tlike how the game looks on low change it to medium
i think you can change only the detail quality and itll look different too
meager raptor
ill tell u when im completely done watching the vod
im 24 minutes in
@blissful crescent go to 30:55 seconds ur breach is on bomb and you have a smoke out you can ask if he wants a smoke on bomb or just do it
there is no point smoking long though
you already know cuz breach is fighting that hes not long
@blissful crescent
Try to be more aware of what your teammates are holding already, Round 3 you had 2 teammates holding ct and backsite while you died from heaven because you were also looking there but at a worse angle than your teammates
Your movement is bad, you often move and shoot so try practicing fully stopping before you shoot. You can also practice a-d strafing with 3 bullet bursts but I dont think you have to at this stage in the game I dont think it will help you much.
Crosshair placement needs to be improved, a lot of the time you are looking at walls or places they cannot be. Try to be more aware of where they can actually peek from.
When you are peeking only peek with a or d and try pre aiming the angle as best as you can. You can practice this in a custom alone and geting used to the angles and the maps.
meager raptor
Can you send a link to your valorant tracker
meager raptor
i would also recommend more deathmatches
it doesnt look like you play much and deathmatch is a great resource to practice all of your mechanics
blissful crescent
I play a lot
meager raptor
especially crosshair placement against real enemies and movement related mechanics
blissful crescent
@meager raptor anything?
blissful crescent
<@939343389382561802>
Try to be more aware of what your teammates are holding ...
wdym by looking at walls I try not to do that is it like when im moving my mouse someitems its stuck on walls and shit cuz I just play low sens have a tiny desk and tiny mousepad my friend says 1 swipe should be 1 360 and thats the right sens but thats 0.85 and I cant play above 0.5 for movement I dont know I try to strafe maybe its really small strafes or something
are there any drills or something
I feel like this is a good example obvi not in buy round but lets say im rotating back
I would aim at the edge of that box because I think they might push up
js lemme finish rnd/match
lk could you screenshare after this match some point where I am aiming at walls and things
@meager raptor ?
meager raptor
I dont have any specific time points in the vod but it was jhust usually when ur rotating looking at walls and the floors
meager raptor
I would aim at the edge of that box because I think they might push up
doing this is what ur supposed to do
blissful crescent
I dont have any specific time points in the vod but it was jhust usually when ur...
what should I do while rotating?
meager raptor
what you said here
where u hold incase they push
cuz sometimes enemies try to peek off timings
blissful crescent
typically unless I have info of enemies I assume its our space is that the mistake?
meager raptor
not a mistake
it sjust better practice to assume they can pek wherever because they truly can in ranked there is usually always a chance or a way they can peek somewhere
and in the rare cas e it happens
you will be prepared
blissful crescent
aiming herewould be a mouse lifting
meager raptor
what sens and dpi are you on
blissful crescent
0.3 800
oh also I legit cant move my mouse down
I palm grip
if someone crouch sprays unless I crouch spray also im kinda just dead
and I cant use my arm for aim at all
oh and what role should I play cuz rn I mainly play clove and reyna but if I play clove my duelists dont do jack shit and if I play reyna my smoke agents think they are duelist
what role is the easiest to ahrd carry on
like fully selfish util
phoenix?
frozen compass
like fully selfish util
reyna and chamber by that definition
reyna's flash is technically a team-helping utility and chamber's trip is well, a trip
blissful crescent
hmm well I clearly cant carry on reyna unless I just lik get a 4k every round
chambers better
but i think he solution might just be play with friends in hindsight
frozen compass
then ur not getting better individually
but in the end it's a matter of if u have fun or not so go ahead 🤷♀️
frozen compass
well its been said before but i think u need more reps in dm
u should start thinking about things other than aim/movement/gunfights AFTER you've hit gold-plat
ofc, u continue to work on those things until radiant, but i think u can just hit gold and plat rly fast just by playing reyna and killing everyone
and to do that u need to prac more in dm
blissful crescent
ofc, u continue to work on those things until radiant, but i think u can just hi...
thats lk what I do I think I need to just learn when to kill cuz I can average around 15 hard bots my most is 21 so honestly I feel like I js needa play a little more selfish cuz rn I treat every match like a full on team strategy game cook up plans get called a yapper by my temates and try and work on plays the games tho where I just shut turn my music on and lock tf in I win
honestly that clips a good example
like if I just dont bother and fucking shoot heads I win
I feel like I have mechs enough to deal with my rank as well as maybe 1 or 2 above but I know that movement may be a weak area of mine as well as ch placement
is reps in dm a good practice
(clip so good enemy team thought I was a smurf)
frozen compass
is reps in dm a good practice
yes, just as long as you're not autopiloting
it would be beneficial to watch a pro play a dm so you can get an idea on how to play it
that way you dont create bad habits that u think is fine bc it feels fine
blissful crescent
oh also @frozen compass I cant shoot ppl who strafe how to fix
frozen compass
oh also <@426545974614294529> I cant shoot ppl who strafe how to fix
if ur aimtraining thru kovaaks or aimlabs, its prob worth playing some tracking or dynamic clicking scenarios
but if ur just going to prac thru val, i recommend playing dm with guardian only
the semi-automatic nature of the gun and its low ammo count forces you to be deliberate with your shots by tapping instead of relying on spray and pray. this will (hopefully) increase your first shot accuracy
however, every now and then i'll see someone panic "spray" by spamming the trigger on a guardian, so please wait for the recoil to reset before shooting again
u might die a lot and u might be frustrated but its good prac
blissful crescent
well the thing is its not recoil control thats the problem like I ad strafe and 2 bullet brust I just cant aim at their head
frozen compass
are you just spamming adad without moving your mouse and hoping it lands on their head
blissful crescent
no I just have trashy aim
frozen compass
no I just have trashy aim
try the guardian thing i said
frozen compass
well the thing is its not recoil control thats the problem like I ad strafe and ...
it has nothing to do with training your recoil control, its supposed to train your first shot accuracy
frozen compass
no I just have trashy aim
actually u said u have kovaaks, i think u should just try vdim
blissful crescent
vdim makes me want to die
my max amt of time playing kovaaks is like 10 minutes and that CANNOT be on repeat tasks I can do a task on kovaaks once
aimlabs is 10x more tolerable for my sanity I can do like up to 25 mins
frozen compass
then do the aimlabs vdim
blissful crescent
how long is it
frozen compass
idk i never used it
blissful crescent
cuz I swear the vdim is like an hr
frozen compass
its probably the same length
if ur not gonna commit some time to practicing then ur not gonna get better as fast
frozen compass
oh also <@426545974614294529> I cant shoot ppl who strafe how to fix
and considering that ur low elo, ur not gonna improve a whole lot if ur asking for very specific advice like this
frozen compass
i mean wtv that works for u
ive only ever tried vdim
generally speaking, if ur low elo, u shouldnt overthink abt every single small little thing. instead, work through the bulk by practicing a lot through drills in the range and play DM to implement
blissful crescent
alright ill try and do the vdim for a few weeks
frozen compass
make sure to play the game more than aim training
ive had the mistake of aimtraining more and playing worse in game
blissful crescent
make sure to play the game more than aim training
I playy like 10 hours of valorant a day
