Ending the Aim vs Gamesense Debate

If your AIM is bad enough, your gamesense might not even matter. But does that mean Aim as a whole is more important than gamesense? or does it mean something else? taking a look into the importance of Aim vs Gamesense.

crosshair placement is 50/50 aim/gamesense, as all things should be. Hear me out though, pretty much exactly half of cp is knowing where to look, and the other half is being able to aim there quickly.

Aim is the foundation of the game, you simply need to know it. You can't play chess without knowing how the pieces move. Game sense comes in play when you're facing someone with the same aim skill. When both players know how the pieces move, that's when moving the right ones matter.

[@Yuuzer_]

I think this is a really good explanation to it. Combined with another comment suggesting that with better aim, can allow you to do riskier strats and thus make it seem you have better gamesense

[@thisguy.-.]

You could also pretty much wrap tactics like forks and skewers into the aim part of the metaphor as well, since they typically become fundamental rules of how higher level play works while being something that lower levels can use to get an advantage on a player who doesn't know

This has “how good was swags cross hair placement” energy, good work

[@Diavolo222]

I'm like so far from swags skill level that I can't be seen but even I always liked to keep my crosshair far from a corner so the enemy moves into it, especially if I'm anticipating a wide, semi-wide swing. Even with the AWP I get a significant portion of my kills by letting the guy wide swing into my crosshair. If I dont anticipate correctly tho that can mean I have to flick to the right and I'm also more exposed to an angle.

[@nightyone9209]

The recent NIP vs Mouz Game on Inferno is the perfect example. Basically Mouz always gets the opening kills by setups, then the rest of NIP players just run around and demolished Mouz by aim. So painful to watch as a Mouz Fan.

[@TemplerOO7]

The problem is that aim really limits how you can play, I often see players, myself included, holding angles that are easy to hold, but strategically not the right choice, usually because the enemy gets too much room. Also there are only a few really good angles on every map and if you play only these the enemy will probably prefire them soon. The better the aim is, the more freedom do you have in your decisions, making it look like you have even more gamesense. Usually the unexpected plays are the hard plays with difficult fights

[@assetaden6662]

True. If you have a bad aim, you tend to play passive, giving up too much space. Even if you have like 100lvl gamesense, they can utilize this space to do splits, good luck with shooting them down now. With better aim, you get more aggressive, more angles to hold and more space, which leads to more information.

[@haxkztasy]

@@assetaden6662 you dont even have to be bad in aiming to play passively. alot of people are simply not confident enough to be aggressive and just hold passiv angles cause its simply easier and more convinient. i personally had to learn to get more aggressive and stop being so passiv all the time and pretty much build up my confidence, i have enough gamesense and aim to do that but i never really had the confidence to do so. so in the end it ended up in not utilizing my gamesense and completely rely on my aim, which even if you're s1mple, you will most likely loose more battles that way and thats why s1mple never really goes passiv unless he has to. aim + gamesense isn't all that matters, its also the confidence that you have that make a huge difference in your decisions.

[@TheLittleAzn]

Better aim gives you more confidence to try different options using your game sense. Game sense is the potential on how well you can utilize that aim.

I started to get back into CS:GO 2 months ago after a roughly 8 year hiatus. I'm now fluctuating between mg1 and mg2. What I notice a lot is that bad aim frustrates me a lot more. If I made a smart play (or got lucky) and just can not hit the shot it is very annoying. If the positioning or timing is wrong and I loose a gunfight it does not feel too bad. All of this is not black a white of course as you pointed out.

Well obviously both, but no matter how nice of a person the woman is, even if she is literally perfect, no guy would consider having a relationship with her if she is ugly. So having some basic lvl of nice look is a MINIMUM requirement for the personality to matter, and the same is with aim, it is a MINIMUM requirement for your gamesense to matter, which makes aim more important to me.

[@ddavisgaming]

This is actually a very interesting way to look at this debate. When I'm playing at my best, I'm holding passive angles with an AWP and trying to set my team up for the best possible retake (CT side) and/or clutching late-round (if I'm on T). However, if I'm smurfing with my friends I find myself making "s1mple-like" plays and just doing whatever tf I want, relying on my aim vs worse players and I find myself becoming that "WHY IS HE PLAYING LIKE THAT" when I play on my main account. It's a funny way of viewing the aim vs game sense debate, because I can see arguments from both side of it.

[@cory99998]

Reinventing yourself is so true. I trained aim hard in my earlier days, after taking 5 years off from playing it felt like I had no idea how to play the game. I wasn't entirely just running and gunning to get kills. The way I played was based on the fights I knew I could win and as soon as that margin shifted ever so slightly, it's like nothing I thought I knew worked anymore. As I've kept playing I've found that my consistency has gone up a lot.

A player with great aim, working up the ranks, will eventually learn enough about the game to succeed. A player sitting at his desk studying rotations, callouts, defaults, lineups, watching demos, etc. Might never make it out of nova if he has a 1 second response time and has trouble clicking the steam icon to start up the game. There are physical limitations to how much a players aim can improve. Can ONLY aim carry you to pro? absolutely. Can ONLY game sense carry you to pro? Fuck no.

[@takar20]

i think we can all agree that after a streak of 7 won rounds the team itself get a boost of confidence and can rush mollys together without a word the syncrinization doubles at that point. Its not aim is moral boost.

[@IBradFrazer]

The way I see it is 50% aim and 50% game sense, but that doesn't necessarily mean those two things are equal. Having better aim will always trump game sense. For example, a friend of mine is a very good player on games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, PUBG, and Valorant, but has never played CS:GO before, however, he still came 4th across both teams and it generally stayed like that until his game sense increased enough to the point where he is now able to come 1st across both teams for most games. If you want to think of it another way, try it like this. If you take 5 average players and play on a map they know very well against someone like s1mple but he has never played on this map, who do you think will win?

[@ultimobw]

True, I know potentially great players who spend all their time researching on all angles smokes and maps but never practicing

[@KNDCHV]

As a person who never had a good aim in any game I will say that AIM is more important, because in the end of the day if you can't click on the enemy you will always lose. But the s1mple example was good. This proves one thing: that neither is more important. The most important thing is confidence. In the few occasions I had confidence in myself while playing I was unstoppable.And as soon as I started thinking about my aim, my positions and other stuff, I started sucking and couldn't kill a frozen bot with a knife. Overthinking is my biggest enemy.It stops me from comfortably getting into my zone and being confident. So if you have confidence you are halfway there.

Honestly this explains a lot of games where with "similarly" ranked match ups the other team just does WAY better than the other team making it look like to some folks like it's a match of Globals vs MG's and the other team doesn't seem to deserve their rank. But in reality it's really because sometimes the other team is just so much better at out-dueling/aim than the other team no matter how many strats they throw it almost always ends up in vain. It's like how in your matches you'll have a situation against a strong team where you have a solid bomb plant on a site with everyone alive in strong positions but the 2 CT's left absolutely wipe the floor with you still leaving everyone dumbfounded.

[@tijanatomcic6523]

You might sort of get why i find it ABSOLUTELY stupid when a “coach” takes a silver level player and starts teaching him smokes, utility use, positioning, map understanding and all this shit. That is stupid for two reasons. 1. At that level his problem is obviously mechanics and not where he stands. 2. He will now learn to rely on these things and not mechanics when he plays a LOT more and in the process it will create bad habits. The way I thought my friends that were new to cs go is i first took them into surfing servers and had fun playing that for weeks. The first time he stepped into a game, his movement was like easily MG level and it made a BIG difference. And its not only movement, surfing, bhop maps, will help even with aiming mechanics indirectly as well, especially with beginners. This is how u learn counter strike. Counter strike, back from cs 1.6 days has always been about mechanics.

[@speedypopoff]

I look at this debate like this: aim is your practice, gamesense is your experience, and I'm making up an example... Mirage T side u rush mid but the previous round u know 1 person from CT pushed short( don't care about con, under, window) with aim from CT, he will straight up peek as fast as possible and maybe try to quickly check common, but if u get there fast enough u can get into an uncommon angle that u know works against a push play from short and set up ur crosshair a bit wider than the tightest where u can place it, and with just base aim like seeing him, shooting while at the least trying to control spray, but since u already set up ur crosshair u won't need many shots to kill him so like 75 percent gamesense with 25 percent aim. (This is just my perspective)

[@Philluminati]

I agree with all of this. Especially the point that when you get hammered in an unbalanced game, opponents stop using strategy to beat you, which then makes the game feel aim heavy and less skillful. It would be good to answer the question - how do you make teams respect you. What strats (rush b?) work best against teams with better aim than yours?

[@Veptis]

It's difficult for me to look at it. I don't play soloqueue anymore. A few pugs and the rest is praccs and officials. My Faceit average stats are horrible as usual. And leetify gives me really bad aim stats when I get above average frags and stats for the team. Maybe that's survivorship bias? If you play bad, you only get the frags where you have the advantage and not the flicks and aggressive moves.

[@HoratioAccel]

There's a reason why top aimers generally are extremely aggressive or take on entry fragging roles. Aim vs gamesense is a question of using your skills to their fullest. Good aim enables riskier plays by making them less risky. Good gamesense is the knowledge to make the right play for the situation. The skill gap comes in when your ability to execute is bad (can limit playmaking) or when you don't make the higher percentage play because you simply don't know it's an option.

[@aucoinbm]

[@soggymids7630]

[@Rubbinghandsschemingsomething]

I think it's more of mechanics vs game sense. Aim/crosshair placement won't be useful if you have a shitty counter strafe ability and movement. You are gonna miss it even though your crosshair placement is as good as xantares. So, mechanics comes as a pack IMO. Game sense, on the other hand, is more of reading where your opponent is, when to walk or run, how to lurk by reading the situation, etc. To sum it up: you need both mechanics and game sense to be a good player. You will need mechanics more in the lower rank, and more of game sense in the higher rank because the difference in mechanics at the higher rank is so small that it looks like all people have good mechanics.

[@unconsistentone5385]

god the first thing that he said about aiming better and being moron is so true, had a team, cannot think and play the map at all, does stupid shit, push and play whatever position they want, I keep telling them play the positions, hold, wait for my flash to peek, does not listen, I told them if they keep playing stupid we'll lose, and guess what we still won bec aim is too important and good brain only matters when the opponent is similar in aim

[@strandberg3893]

i agree aim > game sense but when you get to a higher level and you choose between better aim or game sense, game sense is better in my opinion

[@vinaykhandelia7158]

Maybe this makes it easier. For me, game sense is your instinct.. the read of the game that you have in your own mind which dictates your thought of what is the best play you can make to win the round. And so, it also depends on what level of players or teams you are playing against on a regular basis. It is formed based on your expectation of what the opponent will do. Aim is simply your ability to win duels. You might jiggle peek an awper 10 times to make him miss the shot and then swing for an easy kill or simply wide peek and instantly shoot him in the head. That entire package is aim. The percentage of duels that you win. s1mple does have a ceiling of aim where he can hit ridiculous flicks but I think his major advantage is his instinct and how he breaks the opponents expectation. This is why he used to be particularly less effective against the old Astralis, because they were able to modify their expectations and expect his plays. In a way, Astralis used to capitalise on NaVis dependence on simple. Currently, NaVi are no.1 because the dependence on simple has reduced, and he himself has transformed to a more consistent player. He still makes ridiculous plays which no one expects. But he doesn't try to do that every round. It is no longer his responsibility to create magic. NaVi can win rounds without magic from him too.

[@MrAvocadoMan]

Aim is more important, your game sense just has to be at least mediocre. Good aim can make you look smarter because it brings more success with every decision. All those smart angles you held only worked because you could actually hit your shot.You might look smart when you manage to isolate 1v1s in a 1vX but it only worked because you were able to finish off each of them before the next one could come to you.

[@Infex1]

How does anyone think crosshair placement is gamesense? The concept is widely misunderstood Gamesense consists of strats, reading the enemy, coming up with a way to win mid-round, understanding enemies positions and how to position yourself favorably, etc. Crosshair placement is 100% aim, which can be trained and perfected. This is why even top aimers might lack gamesense, it is not something you can really practice and burn into your brain.

8:15 I completely disagree with you here. It's an example of a play that completely eliminates the contest of who has the better aim because he can shoot his opponent in the back. The worse your aim the more reason was there to go for that play. If you are 99% sure you will lose the aim duel this is the perfect play to compensate for that. The right example of a combination of aim, and game sense is when someone flashes himself into five opponents with perfectly chosen timing and kills them all.

[@WatTheFinn]

What would you call the combination of gamesense and aim? I think it is quite clear that your level of winning singular face-offs is combination of both, while keeping in mind that having absolutely no skill in landing a single shot cannot be compensated by insane levels of gamesense. But having no gamesense at all while being able to land all of your shots (aimbot/spinbot level) goes a long way to dictate your win percentage. But as we have seen, even cheaters can be won/killed so having a godlike aim doesn't make you automatically win every single situation. So, aim + gamesense = skill? Having somewhat poor aim but very good gamesense will make you a good player. Having a sharp aim with poor gamesense can still make you a good player. The most skilled players now in which area they seem to be good at and know to train the other.

[@Hummr01]

Nice editing, liked the style of the video

[@n1cku933]

My opinion its that aim and gamesense work just like a car. Lets say your aim is your engine, because it's crucial when it comes to winning gunfights, which are essential in the game. The gamesense will be our suspension. So, you need big good engine, so you have lots of power to overtake other cars, but you need good suspension as well, so you can put this power to the road and actually use it at it's full potential. They just work seamlessly together and are both needed if you want to be a good player.

[@PizdaMatiiiiiiiiiiii]

I am aim. I am the pure example of a one trick pony, i used to have really good aim. I got to faceit 10, 2.4k elo with just that. I literally dont know any smokes, my utility is silver at best. I got a good combination of gamesense and aim, i just xantares peeked and used peekers advantage and played agressively all the time, taking fights without flashing since idk flashes or using any utility. I outaimed everyone and even at 2.4k elo i was being called a hacker. Now i am in my 30's and i also dont play as much, ive deranked a lot since i can't aim anymore and i feel reluctant to try. But hell, i got so far with just aim when i was younger. I mostly just feel slow and i cant be arsed to move as quick, my reflexes are duds now unless i am on caffeine or something. The downside of being a onetrick pony is that once my aim died, my rank died really hard. I now find myself having to learn utility, after 20+ years of me not even trying since cs1.5. BUT AIM ALONE wont get you that far, if you dont watch the right angles and know where to expect the enemy. Aim and some good gamesense, will. 'in theory' this is also why s1mple is number one and my own theory on why HIGH sens is better (on paper). But most people can't handle high sens, its to quick for eye coordination or for the finessing part. But the faster you are the easyer your fights should be. s1mple can play high sens wich allows him to be such a prick that can outaim anyone.

[@blackstar611]

Game sense allows for better aim, as it makes it easier to win gunfights but raw aim is a combination of being able to point, click, and control the recoil of your weapon. Ultimately crosshairs placement is game sense but is tied into aim as well

[@legendarybelt]

Me: *Plays CS with full on strats like a chess game* Enemy Awper: *Shoots my king* To Be fair, both strats and aim is very important. Strats are especially important in lower elos like GN. Their aim might be decent but their game sense is close to silvers. Outbeating them in game sense is the easiest way to get out of GN. But in higher elos, a great strat can still end badly if enemies are one tap gods.

Oh yes the very important _gold nova strategies_

I have seen way too many people in MGE+ ranks that have a pretty decent aim but no gamesense at all to say that gamesense doesn't matter. These dudes start to push in an after plant against the enemies intead of just staying alive and winning the round. Clutch situations are often where one can rely pretty heavily on just game sense if they have somewhat decent aim

[@grqfes]

if gamesense was the winner then coaches job wouldn't be to coach but to play, and we've all heard "coaches don't play" before.

[@MrCheesyLV]

the editing on this video is so clean

[@OculusOfficial]

Aim literally gives you access to gamesense (in most cases) Only the BEST gamesense plays can reduce the amount of aiming required. intricate plays need intricate aim in order to be executed on most occasions, or atleast, gamesense and visualisation detailed enough in order to have precise crosshair placement. Sometimes gamesense can be enough to just throw you into a position where you know your enemy human player is likely to fail, this would be completely useless without you being able to out aim him however, so if you are using instinctual sense, rather than tactical analytical gamesense, you will tend to require more fast twitch aim.

1:50 "tier 2 team", wow these boys have become top 3 in the world, proud of them

[@laggybear829]

Flanking the enemy is useless if you can't shoot at them, but being the best aimer in the world is also uselss if you don't have enough time left to kill all remaining enemies or plant/defuse the bomb. Both aim and gamesense are important and related, end of the debate.

What does he mean by "unless you're Device"? Did Device have a fall off in form? Haven't been watching the pro scene recently.
