a bad habit of mine is holding an angle while looking at the map LOL

[@nullvoid2560]

when people smoke off the entrance to a site, as a neon main, my favorite way to break a choke is to just use my fast lane and get space for my team and slowly take space into site and get frags or get traded for my team who get more use out of me when getting into site. Being traded and getting space for your team as a duelist should be your main goal because you aren't supposed to get super high kills, but take a site with your util and win the game.

[@dec1085]

With the tip on using util. I found that using razes util at the start to gain space got me a lot more value than waiting to see someone before using it. Also it's better to use an ult even if you don't get a kill with it because it will change what enemies are doing

[@julliferjosephtuba2202]

Agreed. in my opinion, the value of raze as an entry duelist is not in the satchel play, but in the usage of molly and boombot to clear space.

I always have mixed feelings about the last point, i definetly 100% agree with you that dry peeking is bad. But often you dont want to reveal your position unnecessarily by throwing util when nobody is actually holding that particular angle

[@SenaVL]

Lets go! So gald to hear it brother

[@Sterzz]

For anyone trying to get out of insta crouching habit. I would suggest toh change your crouch key to something else so that you have crouch when you want.. I bind alt as my crouch and go to DMs to which reminds me I have to control burst without crouch. After doing to for week or two. I switched back to default crouch key but I crouch very less only when it's important

[@ishreyes9951]

omg that w habit is so annoying , i am struggling with it 🤔

[@dec1085]

I unbound crouch a little while ago and it definately has made me better. I feel like I die way less especially because I peek, shoot at someone, they crouch spray, I go back behind cover, I repeek and 1 tap E Z

[@smellymewi]

Problem with 5 is that quite a lot of pugs will just never do anything and hope that you go in first to die so they can try to "clutch" the round. You can try asking them to smoke but most will not bother to listen to you. Best is to play with a group of people who are willing to cooperate and communicate.

Your tips helped me out a lot. About 3 months ago i was silver 2, now i'm gold 3 on my way to plat

[@PillarsofPeaceIslam]

what is your crosshair for oni phantom?

[@TxntFPS]

Yo guys, if you have the problem of crouch spraying and unbinding crouch doesn't help I would recommend just hopping into a few deathmatches with a guardian so you can't spray and also control yourself to not press crouch cause even if you don't have it binded you are still pressing it

[@julliferjosephtuba2202]

On my end, I don't DM but I spend a lot of time in the range just shooting bots on the head with a sheriff. Since the sheriff has worse recoil recovery time per shot compared to guardian, I am forced to unlearn spamming/spraying as it doesn't help me get headshots on the bot. Crouching also doesn't help with the sheriff that much, it even makes it a bit more difficult to hit the targets if I crouched as it changes the vertical height where my crosshair is at, away from the head level. Last tip may be to turn to vandal instead of phantom in matches that you play for real. Since vandal has worse spray recoil than phantom, you will be punished a bit more than usual for crouch-spraying. This way you are forced to learn bursting/tapping while counter-strafing effectively instead.

[@TxntFPS]

@@julliferjosephtuba2202 the range will improve your aim to an extent the range does what kovaaks does but at like a rate of 20%. Deathmatch will improve your movement, crosshair placement and peeking.

[@MrLlama-dm5eh]

Constantly checking the map is definitely something more players need to do. I'm currently high Bronze (working on getting to silver) and the only reason I made it out of iron is because of the beautiful map. At the beginning of rounds if I know my team has no comms I'll make sure to watch the map and if a sova dart or cypher cam sees something. If you call out what you see on the map, com-less teammates get their intel out there even if they don't talk.

[@banan9377]

I think the unbind crouch technique is missing the point, sure it makes you stop crouching but that's it, if you don't crouch but you're still full committing and spraying every fight and not moving then might as well crouch to get the benefits of the crouch, I think it makes more sense not to unlearn the crouch but instead replace it by learning strafe shooting, because if you practice strafe shooting and it becomes a habit then you automatically forget about crouching because you can't strafe shoot when you crouch.

[@YonYon69420]

[@noahlane453]

wow what a great video W

[@jangtheconqueror]

I think I often miss smoking bomb, ghost comming (or I'll comm too late because I don't have the names memorized and I'm staring at the map trying to figure out where I died lol), and holding onto ult or utility too long. I do use a lot of util for agents I know, but if I don't, I'll just try to rely on my eyes and shooting (which isn't very good yet anyway). And I definitely hold onto the ult looking for moments where it'll be perfect as well.

[@complex4831]

Sena, how do I stop the urge for me to change sens when i'm having a bad day?

[@Rxck_WNF]

Whenever you are struggling jusr take a little Break from the game

[@SenaVL]

After a bad game play some deathmatch. You can mess with your sens there, but remind yourself that you play best with your main sens. Hope this helps!

[@aborxl]

I look at the map too often so I'd get caught off guard though there are times I get lucky and still react quick enough.

[@idk9447]

I used to be a black ops player before starting valorant and one problem that I have is flicking. when I use an operator or marshall, I purposefully aim beside someone and flick on to them and then shoot instead of aiming at the person and shooting. and if i have my crosshair on the enemy when scoping I'd flick so the crosshair isn't on them and then flick again to kill them. which wastes too much of my movement. and now that I started playing the game a bit more seriously and had to play with other guns such as vandal and sherif I've realized that I have the same problem with other guns. when spraying I'd start shaking non-stop and if I want to one tap an enemy I need to flick. Even if I try not to do it, it's just some kind of reflex my hand just does it without thinking. is there some kind of fix to that? (of course flicking might be important in some instances but I'm sure the way I'm doing it is just wrong)

[@idk9447]

And what's worse is that with time my aim got better which made my flicks actually hit and look super cool. but when I have a bad day or just a bad match and miss my flicks I end up with at most 3-4 kills.

I started playing Valorant last month. I'm at silver and the insta crouching in low elos will lead you to your death 90% of the time. Most players in my elo do not automatically hit heads or if they do, it's not a guaranteed hit. I started noticing this bad habit of mine last week since when I crouch, I always get hit in the head.

[@jamietutdinosaur3278]

Crouching breaks your opponents cross hair placement but it break you’d too.when you have you crosshair at head level and you crouch you not at head level no more.

[@grindahlics]

My aim sucks when playing in unrated/compe/spikerush, but practicing on the range is pretty godly. I can flick bots on HARD difficulty with a sheriff/vandal highest score I got in hard is 19 and my aim applies on deathmatch too (sometimes not really). But during normal mode games, my aim is worse than bronze. Overshooting, Slow Reflex, Bad Recoil Control., any tips my idol Sena? cause this really makes me lose my motivation to play fps games and just quit. BTW thanks for this video, I hope this can help me improve much better.

Only pick with a-d keys, when peecking do it counter strafing (peek, fire 2-3 shots and get to cover again), against this players only pick with a wall near for instant cover, if they commit with crouch you can counter strafe fire some bullets cover and then finish them repeeking. Pd. When you play, try to stay away from the wall the longest distance posible, it will give you angle advantage.

My bad habit is, that when I start to shoot at an enemy, I start moving left and right instantly.. I can’t get it off .. anybody any tips? I also did crouch very much but as soon as I unbinded crouch for a few weeks, that never happened again 😅

[@becherbenmansour6758]

I think that habit comes from a technique called strafe shooting. To do it correctly, you need to take your first shot (1 to 3 bullets), stop shooting, and then move to the right just a little bit, take ur next shot, and now move to the left a bit and so on. Moving quickly to the right and left (which is called strafing) after every shot makes you harder to hit if you have good and consistent aim. Make sure tho you're not running and gunning and ur not strafing for too long.

[@gauravdoley1527]

I kinda disagree on holding onto ults, while I do agree using utils is good, but ult's are actually game changers, like neon's ult actually have the potential to win a eco round, same with chamber's ult and jett's ult, plus those ults change the game's economy so much to our favor, that's why I will try my best to hold onto the ults for save rounds and not just popping them to just realise my team has already killed 4 people :'), off course at the end depends on the situation, but just my thoughts, take it with a grain of salt
