You’re flicks are to slow and you aren’t reading the bots movement. I also you’re not really using your arm.

#

You aren’t really flicking either it’s just a slow drag.

#

try to flick where the bot will be

#

ideally you want to flick dead on it but this will force u to develop some reading skills on them

#

and trust yourself on your flicks, flick faster & trust yourself that you'll go where you want

#

these bots also have a heavy bias towards diagonal movement so you can expect most of the time that they will be going 1 of 4 directions

Thanks, I've always struggled with the concept of flicking, when I do these motions in my brain I am "flicking" as in like a jerk motion to the next target but my vods for static of dynamic say otherwise.

Feel like punching myself in the face. Been at this since November, there is something in my brain that just overthinks flicking and everything. Scores are improved though historically.

I know and it doesn't improve LOL. Idk wtf to do.

#

I don't think it's something I can improve maybe, who knows like been stuck here for a long time and that advice doesn't help makes me more frustrated.

Before I could keep typing sad

#

Play VT eddieTS intermediate s5 sparse

#

Only 2 bots

#

Forces you to do 2 things

  1. Get more comfortable reading direction and drift from far bots
  2. Normalize large movements
#

EddieTS is a wave type bot

#

It waves up and down around a fixed central line

#

For small adjustments, you can just directly flick to the bot

#

But for longer flicks, there’s a good chance the wave pattern has changed from up to down or whatever by the time you get there

#

If a bot is going up, it will soon go down and vice versa

#

But that means you want to do big adjustments in a more predictive sense where instead of trying to cut off whereabouts is going, you want to anticipate its next wave change

#

Put another way, if a bot is going up, you want to aim below it so that when it changes direction, it is changing into the spot where you are already at

#

Play the sparse variant with the intent of practicing this specifically, and the main scenario should make a lot more sense

Let me take a breather during my lunch and I'll implement this, I wonder if it's because I may have ADHD and also a bit near sighted in my right eye.

#

I adjusted my 34" monitor to be a bit further way and fist height. Hopefully makes a diff.

You switch your focus constantly

#

Commit to whichever one you aimed for

#

Doesn’t matter if a new one spawns closer r

#

Ok, man, I might have ADD. People at work tell me all the time, I jump from topic to topic sometimes in conversation but that's bc I'm thinking fast. Idk!

#

Hoping I can be saved.

#

And have good aim.

#

You either have it or you don’t, and if you do have it, you are still trying to get better

#

Spending energy wringing your hands about what you may or may not have isn’t going to help you at all

True, I'll just keep my persistence, I was literally unranked when I started all this but damn I am making shit headway from the comments I get in here ig. Lol.

#

People be like, I was Plat after 20h.

#

This has been helping getting over the mental block/fear of moving my arm. I struggle with that so much, it's like I'm afraid to run into something.

ADHD is strongly correlated with vision issues, specifically eye tracking and reduced peripheral awareness. there's also a symptom of ADHD called "object blindness" where you literally can't see things that are directly in front of you sometimes. people with ADHD also have issues with eye teaming (as in their eyes don't work together as well) so if you do indeed have it then yeah it absolutely affects your functional vision

i have adhd and i have a lot of issues with my vision because of it. it makes stuff like kovaak's really hard for me but it's getting easier

the upshot is that if you do have it and you do get a diagnosis then a lot of these issues become a lot less severe if/when you start taking medication. it'll also make a huge positive impact in your life in general

#

ironically one of the ways that they test for ADHD is something called a connor's test

#

it's basically diet kovaak's. they put you in front of a computer and tell you to click or not based on certain prompts. high reaction times have a positive correlation with impulsivity and i scored very very high on both. you'd be able to tell pretty much instantly from looking at some of my scenarios lol

#

tl;dr being an aimer with ADHD is playing on hard mode, best of luck to you

Thank you, I never thought I had it but I had a friend that got diagnosed and I was curious because I have a co-worker/friend who's wife had it and he says when he talks to me, he reminds me of how his wife behaved before starting meds. Also my fiancé tells me that I lose stuff all the time and forget my phone instantly as I set it down, so it's been something I've been researching and thinking about more and more, and the more I read, the more it sounds like I do.

Yall ever lose track of the cross hair until you tell yourself to focus?

viscid timber
#

you can train this

#

play ballsheet for 5-15mins a day

#

i could say a bunch of nerdy shit but basically when it comes to your brain on adhd, your reaction times are the computer equivalent of your internet taking a shitty route with a bunch of extra stops

#

so you need to train your brain a little extra

#

Thanks I noticed this a lot in Marathon, I get disoriented a lot and idk if it's my vision becoming worse as I get older but I lose track of the cross hair or ADS sight when aiming until I tell myself to focus on the center, it's killed me so many time as I wasn't prepared for a fight. Bear in mind, I have not been diagnosed but am on Prozac tho for Anxiety lol

#

Yeah with EddieTS, I notice I start off strong, then like mid way through things start becoming a bit blurry and I have to reset my mental fatigue to focus again.

#

Jesus Christ, I can finally move on to the next scenerio. I finally broke Platinum and feel more confident in reading and mouse placement. I've been consciously trying to engage my arm more, why did this shit take me 5 months. I started sub 600.

#

what i mean by that is

#

instead of just doing a-b in your head, try to start making a mental chain of multiple targets

#

that helped me a lot with speed

#

and focus

spiral arrow
#

Thanks, I'll still grind Eddie, on to DriftTS, any tips on that?

spiral arrow
#

Finally got Speed and Evasive Switching to Platinum, on to Stability next. Idk if I just got lucky but I guess it's progress? I'm becoming more aware of my muscle groups though.
