I'm absolutely terrible at tracking and I'm wondering if the problem is my technique or my sensitivity, which is too low. I'm using 0.12 at 1200 dpi, and sometimes I even go beyond the edge of my mousepad while tracking, even though my mousepad is XXL size—it's huge

[molten ermine]

This task is still too hard for you

If you just starting out i recommend playing centering task

[vale parrot]

his was the recommended beginner playlist if you had managed to get gold

this

But I'd like to know if my sensitivity is too low or not? Because even though I'm using my arm and wrist, I end up going beyond the mouse pad

[molten ermine]

Maybe, for this kind of task optimal sens are around 20-50cm depends on what they prefer

[molten ermine]

Find scenarios name centering

Im pretty sure that playlist have it

[vale parrot]

what is 20-25 cm?

[molten ermine]

Its a metric to measure how many centimeters you need to swipe to perform a 360

[vale parrot]

oh ok

I'd like to find a suitable sensitivity setting that allows me to do everything, because I use AimLab and I want to control my mouse and aim perfectly for Valorant

[molten ermine]

Aimlab was very limiting in a lot of thing from my experience, if you can afford to buy kovaaks i recommend doing so

[vale parrot]

I can't buy it right now

sadly

[molten ermine]

Aimlab is still ok for beginners and those who are not into aim trainer that much don't worry

[vale parrot]

yess

[silver cedar]

keep aim training sens and game sens separately

each type of scenario benefits from different ranges of sensitivities, which train different parts of muscle groups

A rough estimate is static 50-80cm /360 dynamic clicking and switching 50-35 and tracking 35-20.

but then some tracking scenarios which is better on low sens so dont stick to this for the sake of it

[vale parrot]

Changing the sensitivity for each type of exercise won't cause any problems once I'm playing Valorant?

[silver cedar]

yeah, what happens is that we train mouse control, and not muscle memory

but dont touch the main game's sens much

[vale parrot]

Does it make a big difference in the game once acquired?

even though there was zero muscle memory

[vale parrot]

thx !

@silver cedar
They say to put Aimlab in Overwatch 2, I'd like to understand why

[vale parrot]

on this vidéo

[silver cedar]

uhm some more context?

[vale parrot]

I managed to get the answer; they put Overwatch 2 on Aimlab to get the 103 FOV naturally

[silver cedar]

wdym by 'put overwatch 2 in aimlabs'?

you mean the game profiles?

[vale parrot]

yeahhh

game profil

[silver cedar]

ohh i see

yeah thats mainly for sensitivity and fov

but use the x/360cm format for sens, its universal and easier to use

[vale parrot]

I have a question: how do you use the cm values ​​you gave me to determine the sensitivity that will give you the best performance on an exercise?

[silver cedar]

for that, scroll down and set sensitivity options to 'advanced'

[silver cedar]

the best way to do it is to check what the top scorers are using

most likely theyre gonna be using somethin similiar, so you can use a sens in that range

[vale parrot]

yeah i see

i have dl new crosshair

because I saw that there were reticles adapted for certain tasks

[silver cedar]

yeahh those are there too

but its not as important imo

[vale parrot]

How can I find that out?

I also wanted to know what the best mouse grip is for aiming, considering I have the 403 Hero

[silver cedar]

after you finish the task and see the results page, you'll see the leaderboard, from there you can press the replay button and go to the 'compare settings' tab

[silver cedar]

mm thats a quite subjective topic

how about the hand size

[vale parrot]

I have a hand bigger than my mouse

[silver cedar]

hand size is usually stated in length(from wrist ti middle finger fingertip)x width(widest point) in cm

but well lets forget about that for now, it probably fits alright if theres no discomfort

[silver cedar]

its supposed to be subjective for each person, but the usage of most people are some variations of a claw grip

[vale parrot]

I see, I'm trying my best to avoid putting any strain on my mouse when I aim because I had this problem

[silver cedar]

what mouse grip do you naturally use?

[vale parrot]

I'd say it's somewhere between a claw grip and a palm grip

I'm holding my mouse, but I'm slightly raising my palm and fingers

[silver cedar]

ouh alright

where are the contact points?

[vale parrot]

My palm on the back, my thumb on the left side of the mouse, two fingers on the left and right click buttons, the other two on the right side of the mouse

[silver cedar]

oh thats like a relaxed claw probably

base of the palm contacting claw is quite popular and well recommended

[vale parrot]

ohhh i see

I have a question about tracking

If you aim for the body, do you earn fewer points than if you aim for the head, or is it the same?

[silver cedar]

if theres a separate dot and a pill target for the two, the dot gives more points in almost all cases

[vale parrot]

yeah i see

I'm using the most optimal sensitivity for the exercise, but I'm having trouble with the tracking, especially at the point

[silver cedar]

no worries, drop the difficulty if you feel like its impossible tho

[vale parrot]

It's not impossible, just difficult, I would say

it's this

[silver cedar]

then improving is the solution, give it some time :)

oh and remove the gun model and visual effects if you havent

[vale parrot]

yess

So, for each exercise, I use the most optimizing sensitivity setting for the person who finished first in that exercise?

[silver cedar]

just check multiple of them to be safe

sometimes it can be absurd sens

[silver cedar]

oh and another thing is to get 499 energy on the novice version before moving onto this if you havent

[vale parrot]

i have 499 on tracking yeah

[tribal lark]

I mean there's also the rule of thumb sensitivities in the pins of #advice

[silver cedar]

niceee

[tribal lark]

Also don't just use what send the top aimer used because some people troll their sensitivity
Take a look at like the top 5-10

And avg there

[silver cedar]

yeah exactly

[vale parrot]

Let's say I find a medium sensitivity setting for a tracking exercise; do I use the same setting for all tracking exercises, or do I change it for each individual tracking exercise?

[tribal lark]

Tracking is broad

Because you have precise, control, reactive etc. and even then scenarios within each that target different parts of your aim

[vale parrot]

oh i see

[tribal lark]

Changing it for every tracking exercise isn't fun and can be tedious for most but having a comfortable sens that you can land on per subcategory or task type

Is fine

[silver cedar]

individual, or i guess per subcategory if you want to

[vale parrot]

for example on this

i use same sensitivies?

[tribal lark]

If you're just doing control tracking and you're not explicitly targeting ftip, arm or wrist, doing all the scenarios on one sens isn't the worst

[silver cedar]

its fine if you do, most of the times

[tribal lark]

You'll be fine

That's why this breaks it down by subcat

[vale parrot]

So for a subcategory we can use the same sensitivity, that's what I wanted to know

[tribal lark]

Yeah

[vale parrot]

Otherwise, it becomes even more complex if we change every exercise

[silver cedar]

yeah understandable

[vale parrot]

I've noticed that in exercises like tracking, where you have to keep the mouse button pressed down constantly, I end up putting a bit of tension on it

[silver cedar]

ah tensing the index?

[vale parrot]

in my hand

[silver cedar]

you could try redirecting the rension onto the side fingers, being thumb and the others

[silver cedar]

oh

[vale parrot]

In fact, the tension that the index finger applies spreads throughout the entire hand

[silver cedar]

well some tension is needed, but if its too much then lightening it up would be ideal

[vale parrot]

i see

I hadn't thought of that, but does that mean I also need to change my DPI?

To copy the sensitivity settings, I also need to set the same DPI, right?

[silver cedar]

keep the same dpi

[tribal lark]

No, that's why we use cm/360

[vale parrot]

Oh, that ignores the DPI and the centimeters

[tribal lark]

It doesn

t

ignore the centimeters

cm = centimeters

[vale parrot]

I misspoke

I meant that centimeters ignore DPI

[silver cedar]

yeah just set the ingame dpi into what you're using now, and then use only the cm/360 bar to change the sens

[vale parrot]

it's practical

I just changed the sensitivity adapter to an average of the top 10 and I feel much more comfortable during the exercise

[silver cedar]

nicee

[vale parrot]

@tribal larkIs there a trick to actually having a voltage during switching?

[tribal lark]

voltage?

[vale parrot]

Because I have to press the button very often to fire at the targets, I have tension

to my hand

[tribal lark]

I still don't really understand what you mean

But also try maybe asking in #advice

[vale parrot]

look https://outplayed.tv/aim-lab/bJvONe

the need to press the fire button all the time

It creates a lot of tension in my wrist

[tribal lark]

I mean

You just have to learn to properly budget it

If you need help

Bind Fire to your keyboard

Get used to how minimal tension feels (since you're only using tension for your flicks etc.)

Then go back to M1 firing and try to recreate that feeling

[vale parrot]

So I'm using the keyboard, getting used to the feel, and then trying to reproduce it without the keyboard?

[tribal lark]

Yeah

[silver cedar]

yeah you practice low tension aiming, then make sure to switch back to m1 caus thats how it is ingame

[vale parrot]

yess

Is it possible to analyze my gameplay? This is my record; linear clicking is my biggest weakness, and it's where I have the worst overall score

[vale parrot]

Thank you for the advice, I'm improving significantly @silver cedar@tribal lark

[silver cedar]

niceeee

[silver cedar]

your flicks are wayyy to slow

in fact, they cant even be called flicks

[vale parrot]

I actually trained on that today: speed and precision

[silver cedar]

https://youtu.be/4cdQpKCCOGM?si=M7l2o4ivh3B06p9d

this is a static guide, but it will help to build proper flick technique

[silver cedar]

i see you went for leading shots, thats good

[silver cedar]

ouhh cool

[vale parrot]

the result
