ScottishRab Valorant DM vod

[kind latch]

im limiting myself to 1-2 burts/shots on the player to focus on first/2nd bullet accuracy and not rushing shots when i see a player

Im probally going to try send a dm vod every day if not every so often

ScottishRab Valorant DM vod

[light goblet]

looks overall not that bad but i would recommend for you try to pre aim common angles when you swing something and try to hold the angles not that much wide open as you do like hold them a bit less wider and take ur time to shoot but not too much in the end

[kind latch]

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/mjlWBV4cWTiBGdy3e?invite=cr-MSxGYVksMTY1NjQyMDQ1&v=394

if u dont mind can u take a look a specifically my movement and peeking

feel like im dying really fast often not allowing me to survive for as long or aim properlly

[light goblet]

hmm i see you sometimes just walk around like an easy target for the enemys try to peak confident and try to pre aim every angle you swing and also i see you sometimes have pretty good aim and sometimes you just whiff and underflick to the next target

i would recommend maybe try to implement more of primmies movement https://youtu.be/kJksoAh4Jcg because he likes to burst a lot too and have cracked movement

[kind latch]

im running a very high sens rn, to try be for "calm" in a sense. and focus on more smooth movements

[kind latch]

feel like my aims horrible, not sure why, im i using too much tension rushing shots or is it my movement

[dense horizon]

you are holding angles too wide most of the time

also your peeks are kinda bad

i would say try to focus on improving on your peeks and your movement rn

[kind latch]

in what way, can u specify, is it my speed, distance from the wall or stuff like that.

[dense horizon]

so a lot of the time you are tracking an angle while you are peeking

this is bad most of the time imo

because then you are not max speed

you have to peek 90 degrees to the line of sight of the enemy

the tracking thing only works when you are hella far from an angle and the enemy is close to that wall

[kind latch]

that not how it works thou, also tracing is to be used, espeically when you dont know exactly where they are standing

[dense horizon]

also you are holding for the wide swing too wide

[dense horizon]

so lets say you are trying to clear a close area where there are a lot of off angles, how would you clear it

would you track the corner and clear it?

or would you slice the angle and clear the off angles that way

and react with a microadjustment when you see the enemy

?

[kind latch]

i wasnt tracking corners

[dense horizon]

this is the only scenario where it makes sense to track the corners

[dense horizon]

you arent doing it in a very obvious way, but you are slightly doing it

if i want to point it out in the tdm specifically, you are doing it at 0:40

i was looking at your other dm vods as well

and a common issue is that you are holding angles a bit too wide

you can look at oxy's videos for his dm footage to see how he plays

if you notice, he holds pretty close to the wall compared to you

[kind latch]

i was just coming out of spawn

[dense horizon]

ok. what sens are you playing on?

[kind latch]

half the time they are walking past my crosshair thou.

[dense horizon]

i would recommend you to try playing on 0.1 1600 for a dm, record it and show

[kind latch]

0.2 1600

[dense horizon]

main goal of this is to use your movement to aim

[dense horizon]

you were, but thats also why i feel like tdm is a bit bad for this type of analysis on your mechanics. it doesnt show you some mistakes which you make because almost all the fights when you come out of spawn are long range

the thing is, your raw aim is pretty decent. that part is not the glaring issue rn

i do notice a thing where you try to hit confirm too hard sometimes, causing you to tense up

[dense horizon]

notice at 0:20

again, i dont want to analyze tdm too much because this is not a map you will play in comp

i can give a few more timestamps, but the issues are more visible on the normal dm which you put vods of

[kind latch]

[dense horizon]

already i am seeing that you are trying to focus on peeking the way i mentioned, which is good

you can notice that your preaim is off in a lot of cases, either your crosshair is a bit too far or your crosshair is a bit too high

these things can be worked on with conscious practice over time

[kind latch]

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/mlQnhb95VhC7RJxgN?invite=cr-MSxZd3EsMTY1NjQyMDQ1&v=321
heres another, got called a cheater for some reason REALLY SCUFFED

[dense horizon]

but the glaring issue in your raw aim is the hit confirmation aspect i would say

so when you whiff on these moving targets, i feel like you are looking at your crosshair

[kind latch]

ive noticed ive been a bit too high too, i think its mainly due to swapping off stretch res, since when ive switched between them in the past my crosshair placement becomes janky for a short period of time

[dense horizon]

would you say that this assumption is accurate?

[kind latch]

no. 100% looking at the target. maybe sometimes double check crosshair but with my peripheral vision

[dense horizon]

ok, but i am noticing a lack of target reading

so im guessing you are predicting

in a lot of these cases it is fine to do a leading shot

[kind latch]

thats more or so lack of confidence. espeically since im use to just flicking and being on the head, back like 2 years ago

[dense horizon]

ok so do you play any benchmark?

like viscose or voltaic?

i want to see your dynamic scores specifically

[dense horizon]

if you played anima microv2 you can show that one as well

[kind latch]

played it a little

[dense horizon]

ok so your raw aim seems to not be the issue

i feel like you are lacking the reading skills for the enemies in valorant

so for now i want you to focus on trying not to rush your microadjustment

dont do it too slow also though

and for strafing enemies, i would like you to notice whether its a long strafe or short strafe and make your leading shot based on that

ex- for short strafes, its better not to adjust too much, however for long strafe you should make the leading shot accordingly

[kind latch]

how do i practice this and get into the habit of doing it. just simple deathmatch

[dense horizon]

in anima micro v2, i feel like microshot avasive will be really helpful as it emulates the movement of heads of the enemies you whiffed on long range

[dense horizon]

yep

basically in dm its like a sandbox

i want you to notice the movement of the enemies

you can also watch high level players like oxy playing dm

his adjustments are extremely high level, you can learn a lot from it

its usually the first 2-3 min of his yt vids

tbh your raw aim is pretty good, that much is apparent from a first glance, but if your goal is to improve your valorant mechanics to improve in valorant, i gave the guideline you can follow

for now you can focus on these things for now, and not spend as much time in aim trainers if that is your goal

your raw aim is good enough to be in immortal easily

[kind latch]

already reached immo, recently by sheer luck, im just really washed.

[dense horizon]

oh by immo i meant like immo2-3

[kind latch]

i was 20 rr from immo 2. close enough right?

[dense horizon]

your raw aim i would say is better than mine based on your scores and i am immo3

[dense horizon]

fair enough

but yeah lmk if i was helpful, you can shoot me a dm if you want me to look at a vod or something

[kind latch]

well, dunno if halfing the sens helped but dont normally win dm super often. won 3 in a row

[dense horizon]

well you know how in static you lower sens so you focus on flick technique. its the same here, lowering sens made the micro part easy so you focus on your peeking and movement
