As someone who used to try to copy pros players too much, this definitely helps. Now I’ll focus on just developing my own unique aim style

You should go down the rabbit hole of aim on CS lol

[@bryanryan5875]

Dawg this video is actually so good. It's an educational video that is actually helpful and just someone calling it an educational video to justify using a smurf account. I reccomend this vid to everyone.

[@Defiancy]

I use aimlabs and I got to say my aims improved tremendously in multiple games since I started. That being said I also use VAXTA, 48701, and MW3MH as well. If you only aim train I don’t think you’ll see the results you may expect. But if you incorporate additional training from the game you want to improve in, you start to see great results :) That being said, improving your aim takes a lot of time. If you’re dedicated, you’ll reap the rewards.

[@jzarr1784]

that's true. i used to train with vaxta code and similars but when i started to use kovaaks the thing change

[@rubenleavell]

Honestly as much as Aimlabs is good, it's not good for a game like overwatch, since the hit boxes are janky af just play the Game with 1600 dpi with a 2-4 sense in game. Force yourself to get good at it. I'm GM1 wrecking Ball one trick.

[@xracecar4205]

[@stonefaced]

Very useful vid! 👍 My aim isn’t terrible but I want to improve before I start playing competitive more

[@DarksuN17]

Good tips, one that is also very important is having a good monitor. The input lag from some monitor can destroy all efforts. For exemple i got the G7 1440P 240hz monitor, its an awesome monitor but it has a little more input lag than my second IPS monitor (Mag251RX), which also has a little more input lag than my third monitor (benQ XL2420z). This is very very very important having a low input lag monitor (i don't talk about pixel responsivness)

[@artmanrom]

Also, a great gaming chair and night vision goggles are very important.

[@Kimshu6]

Thank you so much for saying there's no distinct "better" for aiming styles. So many people I watch and pros use arm aim so I thought I was holding myself back trying to wrist aim. Knowing people DO wrist aim, and can get really good at it helps. Last I checked (it's been a long time since I placed DPS), I was somewhere around mid-gold (tanks and support are mid-high plat). My gf has peaked low masters before and when I duo with her in qp, I can tell I'm in high level lobbies and it feels so much harder to contribute. I'm kinda tired of getting shit on. I wanna get better so it's not as frustrating and I can have a fun time.

[@darkgt91]

the towel over the mouse I get it. It happens to me that my hands sweat a lot, and is disgusting using a mouse like that, you lose a ton of precision and need to use a towel every like 30 seconds. So the towel over the mouse makes it bearable

[@musicxxa6678]

It's nice to see a guy using towel over his mouse lmao. I thought i was the only one. I use microfiber cloth. It gives me better grip, no sweat/stickyness problem and cleans up the surface automatically.

[@333Abs]

This made me realise I was using a completely wrong sens as a wrist aimer because I trust better players settings. I recently switched from 1600 to 800 dpi and just copied other peoples sens and It felt horrifically slow , now I know why!

[@filiciolukas9512]

Sick video

[@Nody-San]

[@ZOMBSOLO]

ive heard of this guy from jay dropped a sub because hes been nasty in those videos im hardstuck in silver and will try to work on this thank you

[@mubrek236]

Genji Reaper and Soldier are comfy picks for me because I can get away with a high sens

[@Seraph_op]

I played on 4 x 800 dpi and could never track perfectly but refused to switch because some of the best players use that sens, big mistake.

[@lutem8195]

Time for this otp mercy to dps kek. Justice rains from above

[@bassstation9160]

Although this video has some good tips, I didn’t feel like the aiming part was very accurate. Yes aiming in game can help but it’s better to do both an actual aim trainer and routine like voltaic, and play the game. Also while there’s no god sense, there’s a good range between like 20-60cm per 360 which can usually work for most people. Different sensitivities may work better for certain types of aim, like a low sense for static (flicking) or a bit higher for tracking. And while the part about being a wrist or arm aimer is technically correct, it’s only because the person lacks practice in using the other part as much. In the end it’s all mouse control so an aim trainer will actually work the best if you want your overall aiming capabilities to improve in the shortest period of time. Things like strafing (movement) can actually also be improved in aim trainers as well since there are scenarios that cover this. Also, the aiming and movement from an aim trainer might not transfer over to games in equal proportion since the movements will feel a bit different. But the motions will be something you are familiar with and will be transferred over time. Stay consistent to make actual progress. PS there’s no such thing as “muscle memory” so change your sens if you want to. You can even have certain senses for different characters, it won’t make much of a difference in your mouse control and might actually help you.

[@klapy769]

It’s nearly 2 am so imma save the video and rewatch it to apply everything including settings at a civilised time

[@makenzie.s6478]

I’m somewhat in the middle of arm and wrist aim so I play on 800 dpi 4.5 because I like low sens

[@ElliottDenizen]

I wish i had a list of the maps per Code, I'm new to Overwatch and don't know them yet.

[@Krunked]

is it bad that i use a REALLY high windows DPI?? i use like .5% sens lol. 1.0 sense to me is fast enuf for wrist. looks like im using 19,000 dpi?

[@kokichisimp9660]

I'm about to do my first esports match and I'm nervous this might help also I'm dps Wish like to Wichita North

[@AkBewm]

I’m on 400 dpi and 6 in game sense I come from rust that’s why so I didn’t wanna move to 800 dpi and I’m also a arm aimer and I have a good amount of mouse space and I’m quick to reset so it isn’t a big deal for me I mean is it that insanely low for overwatch 400 DPI AND 6 in game

[@ihavethisusername1513]

I wasted 6 years of playing because I had mouse ascelaration on, I was good with it too and now I just found out so I took it off. I can still aim pretty well but yea and also im getting use to a new sens too

[@cj123pro5]

Its disabled in overwatch?

[@Kobra-_-w]

Metro what about controller?

[@HushR6Official]

Im a wierd one im a lowish -mid sense wrist player with like minimal forearm movement at 1600dpi

[@eslammohey2327]

800 DPI & 6 in game is that works for all heroes like Genji & Doom??

[@kahahabahaha]

One of the best quake players (a very dodge heavy game) always said "sometimes the best dodge is no dodge," so standing still sometimes can be a very good way to not get hit lol

[@MyCommentsRMaturelol]

I tried checking my EDPI, but each of 3 calculators told me my theoretical cm/360 was half that of what I actually have with a physical measurement.

[@MetroOW]

Just use ingame sens and make sure ur dpi is set up correctly in your mouse options, make sure Windows options don't have accelaration

im a wrist aimer i got 3660 dpi and 2.75 ingame i love it :D

[@idownloadedthisasajoke5947]

Yo, im j1x0r dont know if you remember me at all from your streams, the few that i have tuned into but anyways im a new player and ive noticed that my flick aim is just better overall compared to my tracking aim, i started out with soldier76 and now on Ashe. Ive noticed that ashes scoped aim is not 1:1 with my unscoped aim. Is there anyway to make it 1:1? Really messes up my aiming

[@MetroOW]

Scoped sens will always feel a bt different to unscoped, even if you use the theoretical 1:1 conversion, so it's really just all about practice.

[@idownloadedthisasajoke5947]

@@MetroOW but is there any specific sense to get atleast close to the 1:1 ratio? The default one is way way off feels like im playing another hero

[@ncascini01]

Yeah, this is one of those things that annoy me too. There is no such thing as a 1:1 conversion because of how the devs set it up. When characters scope in, they give the scoped in view a different aspect ratio for some reason. If you research it a bit you'll find that there are different recommended scope sensitivities for widow and Ashe depending on how far you want to flick with them. Most people use the sense that is best for small flicks since that's more conducive for good aim techniques. But yeah, there is different Math behind what happens when you move your mouse scoped in with those characters.

[@ared18t]

If you keep tracking too fast and under flicking just. Or tracking too slow and overflocking turn on enhanced pointer position TRUST me.

[@DJphantomHD]

tip #1 : get atleast 240hz monitor with low input delay , the more smooth you see the more it help your aiming

Instructions unclear, broke my mouse

[@bananallama1940]

I've been fiddling with settings and it seems like targets appear bigger at 80 FOV. I know it will severely limit my ability to see things but the trade off is a bigger target. What are your thoughts?

[@KaJe5380]

I'd just try to learn 103 fov. Most games play around there or higher. Lower fovs make targets bigger, but also feel like they move faster. So characters like Genji are gonna be hell.

[@Seraph_op]

The only pro using 90 FOV was Surefour and even he switched to 103. What ever works for you lowering FOV will lower your awareness though, for me it would be a dealbreaker because I'm already the only person on my team spotting flankers.

why does your soldj have 0 recoil

Yes, its optimal. You should aim the way that feels natural to you but in theory using arm wrist and fingers together is optimal.

@@MetroOW okay thanks

[@kurikat]

my aim was really good months ago. I stopped trying as hard and only get 40-50% 76 instead of 45-55% 76, but I think my movement and positioning especially is an issue. Aim feels so meaningless in this game. Especially when it's nothing but sig/rein shield, widow/hanzo in the back, and genji deflecting poke and run, kiriko seemingly on every enemy team, plus mercy pocket. Everyone's playing the poke and run or far away or hides, and flanking doesn't matter since kiriko will tp and its a 1v3, or mercy will sit behind a wall making somebody unkillable and will 1-2 shot you, or everyones playing dive or shield brawl brig whatever. Game has changed so much int he last 6 months, there's almost rarely situations you can just 1v1 hitscan track or flick anymore. Then try to swap off to tracer or anything and suddenly you're against a torb/ashe/hanzo and pocket kiriko or mercy and like. I'm not sure, but I was hitting 50% and 10% crit on tracer other day and barely getting kills because everyone's so pocketed or I get 1 shot. Sad to say but hitscan really doesn't seem to work in my region at this month and time like months ago. I'm really having trouble even justifying aim training in this game anymore and not just swapping to sym/echo/mei whatever. I really do wanna enjoy soldier 76, but It's just so impossible lately in plat-masters, especially with the massive pocket smurf issues where top500-gm1 people load up their alt account and get hard mercy pocketed in a 4 stack on a weird plat 4 game and my teammates are just normal mid rank players throwing on moira+lucio with a feeder JQ, but it feels like im playing against top rank players. I deranked so much this season on dps, and I had "GM aim" even against better moving players, and I'm literally losing games in low plat lobbies to this crap. Not to mention the level 1 private account hanzo's hit perfect everything and dont even give you a chance to actually hitscan. So it's like a multitude of problems this season that have just killed my ability to really hitscan. The few times I actually go against enemies that are hit scannable and I have good supports and a balanced team, I'll casually drop 30-50 kills. And I'm sorry to say but a JQ smurf is barely hit scannable when your team is dogshit and they have heals behind them while they run past your inting tank and there's a brig or some bs pushing with them in my face. I can unload an entire clip and helix and it still wont kill them with their regen. Give me an orisa, i dont miss a shot, soldier I diff almost every one I went against but they'll still win with their mercy pocket, cass i diff, ashe i diff, but they all have mercy pockets on high ground and some kiriko lurking around throwing kunais at my head as their genji dives on me and tank dives or shields on me or them. I don't even think about swapping midow either, because hanzo outclasses her on so many maps and people just swap sig on the sniper maps these last 2 seasons and shield you off while their genji dives. I watch streamers play, and they don't seem to face these same problems, so my assumption is positioning is bad + I don't have a support duo to enable me, followed by my movement allowing worse players to insta headshot me on hanzos. It could be their team is actually pulling their weight and smurfs and prestacks aren't killing the game. And trust me low rank prestacks RUIN the match too. I been getting silver players in my games because some dumbass friend group 4 stacks and brings their girlfriend along to mercy pocket their plat ass, and their other friend plays moira tossing orbs and focusing the tank, meanwhile I'm ignored by the 4 stack and we're fighting diamonds. I absolutely do not get this game anymore and why there's any point to keep trying to have good aim. I really don't. It's like it does almost nothing. I must be at a 40% winrate tops on dps this season, and started off dropping 10 ranks in 1 day on the first week of season 4. Maybe less. I went from masters 3 to fucking plat 3, and I been stuck plat for 100 games now. I HAVENT been plat since season 2, which is only because I got the god awful bronze 5 negative elo hell bug on season 1 that just would not let me rank up past gold/low plat. I was farming every game, it was insane. Like you're telling me I can learn so much, watch so much, play 500+ hours, and end up a lower rank than I was before. I've watched so much awkward videos or other coaches, I've watched top 500s, I've played against GMs/masters, ranked up, grinding kovaaks and aim custom maps. And I'm fucking worse off now hardstuck fucking plat on dps hitscan like I'm livid and hysterical to the point I was vod reviewing so much of my games only to see really what was going on. That's how I know I had so many smurfs and stuff and my teammates looking at me and not healing and just running past, and like nothing but shields to hit, and hacking widows on the enemy teams and other weird ass shit. I try so hard to keep being hyper aware of enemy ults, where people are, finding off angles, but then everyone on my freaking teams are off angling and doing all the weird shit too, but they have gold level aim and ability. There's like so many complex problems I could go over. So so so many issues happening in these lobbies I'm in. Even if I can get past the shield spam and smurfs, I can't justify the fact mei ice walling the idiot tanks on the enemy team isn't the right way, or being an annoying sym against the GM genji smurf on the other team that seems to get 3-5 mercy pocket blades every fight isn't the right way. I'm just a standing target as DPS hitscan. And like before you think "maybe u just belong in plat", my SUPPORT class also was diamond 1 last season, and this season deranked to GOLD 1 with a 30% win rate. I ALSO dropped 10 ranks immediately on support, and now my support is masters 5, back almost where I started. I'm losing my mind here, but why even try anymore. The fever dream of just pure hit scan tracking and flicks died a long time ago with all these problems and mini metas and hyper aware smurfs and premades. End of the day, me playing custom kovaaks warm ups for 30 minutes straight, drinking water, taking my supplements, plenty of sleep, exercising after warmup practice, then hopping on OW2 custom aim maps for about an hour after a break, mean literally nothing the moment I queue into a blizzard world nightmare snipefest with shields or a dive tank in my face. I have zero actual opportunities to use any of my efforts and practice. It's got so bad...... I started learning genji last week or so...
