How I started winning gunfights

[@Geheimnis-c2e]

For the strafe practice, I do the drill Woohoojin told players like me to get to gold. 1. Go to range 2. Pick Cypher 3. Put trips on the wooden pillar on the right of the bot firing area 4. Put on a 100bpm video 5. Try and follow the beats while strafing, stopping and then shooting. Remember to minimize the blue line as much as possible while retaining accuracy while strafing and shooting. I do this for around 5-10 mins everytime. It taught me to not rush my shots because the muscle memory takes over (I do it a lot)

[@7sidd]

That same thing happened to me. I reached Ascendant 2 but then started dropping down until I got to Diamond 1 and almost Platinum. I couldn’t understand what was happening until I started watching my old clips and noticed that my playstyle had changed drastically. I think that when I reached Ascendant 2, I felt confident enough and started playing worse. I want to encourage everyone going through this situation-right now, I’m in Immortal 3, and I still have a lot to learn. Stay strong, guys, you can do it!

[@shuochen5503]

Literally me

[@m0nkey09]

Literally me😭😭, but i always think i was unlucky because i met bad teammates while i was droppping down ascendant 2 - diamond 2. I feel like i play much better than before now but my rank hasn't improved for a long time. Sorry for broken grammar, im not good at english.

[@nvmnd.]

Bro I fr dropped from asc 1 to p3 I was wondering what the heck I am doing different than before 💀💀😭

[@ShunUruma-jnr]

This is so real, I took a 4 day break from valorant and then came back to an ace and the cleanest shots of my life

[@abortme123]

The game lowers your mmr when you take breaks so that it seems like you’re doing better. Thats why you get good games then trash ones right after each other. You have a total matchmaking mmr separate from your regular rr and it takes in all your stats and spits out a number

[@XxDinnerxX]

Super solid info! It blew me away how my gunfights started to look after I started moving and shooting consistently. I still really struggle with the target confirmation though. I need more practice to break my bad habits haha

[@bunna_64]

Your video helped so much! I used to get around 1-3 headshots on the hard bot but now I get 15+! I liked and subscribed, keep up the great content!

[@Ribcut]

The problem with strafing in lower elo is their aim is off (delayed tracking), and you end up strafing back into an insta headshot. Most of these movement mechanics ironically only work on people with good aim. Someone with perfect crosshair placement often dies to a crouch spray in higher elo, whereas in lower elo a crouch spray gets someone insta dinked because they're aiming at the floor. I've noticed playing through gold-plat I had to intentionally not do either. Standing completely still when shooting gave me better results.

[@gw_god0078]

so trueeeeeeeeee

[@UrFada]

I feel this is cope, no hate I am in lower elo and your right but if your consistent I can bet you their aim being off would only happen a few times while the rest they are dead

[@Ribcut]

@@UrFada I'm not the biggest fan of people throwing around the word cope when it doesn't apply. I'm able to consistently win gunfights in lower elo by standing still after the counter strafe. That's the exact opposite of cope, but rather just making a logical observation. In Dia-Asc, I've noticed tap strafing throws people off because their crosshair placement is actually on my head, as opposed to where my head was / will be during a strafe. This gets players with bad aim an insta tap on me all the time in lower elo.

[@UrFada]

@Ribcut Fair, my point is the odds are not as favourable as you make it seem

[@Zolsc]

naa lower elo weak to op so insta locking chamber is much wiser choice

thank you so much for such overlooked knowledge! gonna try this out tonight after work and tell my gang too

[@sleepyboi1964]

That made a lot of sense, I reached imm 3 a while back and then took a break for the better part of a year. I came back recently (prolly a month ago) and I feel so washed, it was only when I watched your video that I noticed I started spraying a lot more than before. I checked my old clips v. new ones and I definitely see the difference, I used to be far more disciplined lmao, hopefully it'll make a difference in my game.

[@kikierm]

i somewhat figured this information out on my own in the past month but i’ve been trying to find a better guide like this video to refer to when i’m not doing as well! i peaked asc 3 a while ago but quit and how im hardstuck plat, this video is gold thank you man

I just started the game a week ago, and I think the deathmatch practice is a good point, focusing first on playing with the gun, then once you confident, play it the ability / spike etc.

[@Nat3VL]

Ok il make a short comment to make you improve instantly guys. Use your brains. If you overflick or underflick use ur a and d key to aim. Think about how a peek should look like from different angles. Dont be a sitting duck. And again your brain is your best friend in every situation use it dont autopilot. Boom immortal level

[@shazpy1]

yoo this actually sounds helpful ur underrated hope you get more recognition, i feel like you provided more help then with gamesense then any of the other videos ive seen

[@L3ft_Angle]

I’m someone who just went from gold2 to Plat2 who took a break and started playing valorant episode 9 act1. And honestly Aim wise it really is just steps to follow : Aim before you shoot, strafe first to put off the enemy, confirm crosshair on target while strafing, 2 shots, strafe again and repeat :D Although i’m still learning a lot I highly recommend it to anyone, it makes it much easier

[@oparysh]

I noticed that if I play Valorant when my life is set up (my work is done, my homework is done etc.) I play 2-3 times better than when I'm lacking on some tasks. It sounds childish and irresponsible but sometimes you feel like you should have fun now to deal with stuff later. And I learned that it's not how it works. So, in conclusion, make sure nothing doesnt distract you from game, you must prioritize more important things in life so you actually can have fun in Valorant

[@polyatyut]

You sound like Viktor from arcane, I can’t!!! Thank you for your advices anyway 💖

[@Italijan93]

Lemme add 1 practice routine for this. Go into range and turn bots into mid(beginners can go easy) u strafe/2bullet shot kill bot after the kill then u strafe shoot into the mid pillar, repeat. That will improve ur timing with shooting 2 bullet shots and strafe acc later u can ramp it up by going hard bots. Its ideal for this type of shooting. Give it a try

[@futurecyphex9465]

Sometimes all you need is a bit of time and that does better than just grinding everyday no breaks.

[@worldisendingsoon]

Good video! What sens/dpi are you using?

[@unkxxwn_name]

random question, how does it help having all that information on the top right?

[@fryoyo_o]

It's not really beneficial mid game, but I usually find value after death. Like when I miss a shot, I use the graphs to find my error. Like, was it a movement error? Or if my game is acting up, I can watch FPS/Network (or just blame my crap aim on my ping even if it just went up a couple millis)

[@ron-r9d5y]

i usually use the network rtt jitter, packet loss and shooting error graph. im sure its obvious why i use shooting error graph, and the packet loss and rtt jitter graph is so that i can look at it whenever my ping goes up and purposely not swing or peek an angle until it goes down

[@jellocrackers9107]

You should be VOD reviewing, also after you die it’s nice to check if you accidentally moved while shooting

[@kleinsparky]

So you can blame the game. :)

[@mageferago]

Movement error is helpful to track my mechanics. Network stuff is so I can cope if I have network problems

[@Pokemon15169]

fundamentals, four step aim tysm for the sauce

[@muhamaddimautama6824]

i resonate with this, when i stopplaying 2 or 3 days after bad games, somehow i fragging alot after that. and i noticed that i used the target confirmation methode a lot like between exchange shot and strafe with the enemies somehow i really dialed in on their head level while they are moving so much strafe after strafe i just click the head. in dire situations like being rush. target confirmation can be done like, if u see the enemy and they see u, u dont shoot you confirm the enemies then move and while moving level your corshair on their head then stop and shoot

[@alexandraalle1373]

It's unbelievable that he's hit immortal and he's teaching basic plat level mechanics like strafing

[@Sxnthia]

well valorant is pretty basic so these basics are what makes the most gunfights

[@levuthaison]

Trust me, as soon as you master the fundamentals you will reach Immortal. People below this rank don’t even play the game properly.

[@343JustMe]

@@levuthaison honestly once you've played on the harder servers you won't be saying that at all.

[@montivibegames1803]

Servers dont do shit. Its a placebo effect like changing crosshairs. You are just making excuses for your bad rank play on one server and thats it. The only thing that can make the server harder is the language barrier nothing else

[@levuthaison]

​@@343JustMe what servers do you think are "harder" ones? I've reached Immortal in EUW and APAC (with APAC being way easier), and I never felt any rank below Ascendant was even remotely challenging on either server.

[@rayceuz]

Is it just me or does he sound like Viktor from Arcane? Quite a calming voice tbh

[@sk1llzfps]

Thank you! I'm gonna try this

[@levuthaison]

Honestly I don’t see any difference between your “before” and “after” gameplay. They’re completely different scenarios and you played all of them out nicely, but they’re incomparable honestly. I also find myself playing a lot better after taking a long break, but for me it’s mostly due to the fact that I’m not overthinking during games. When I play a lot I constantly have too many options to pick at one moment and I am hypercritical whenever I make a wrong decision, like “omg I should have wide swung that”. On the other hand, when I’m back from a break, decisionmaking becomes a lot simpler for me and I don’t get overwhelmed by how many options I could take at a moment, I simply have an option that stands out and if it doesn’t work out I don’t feel too bad about it. All in all I just think playing the game after a break gives you a more peaceful headspace and enjoy the game more.

[@chatival]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your angle on this!

[@RemiToast9]

I also do this, maybe i should take a break :D

[@montivibegames1803]

When you take a break you should be careful to not fall back into your old bad habits. I took a 10 day break of gaming as a whole and after that in my first dm i didnt panic i was super calm and didnt crouch spray which were my biggest mistakes. But later i fell back in my old habits and played like before

[@hakoszn]

Levu he is doing a aim mechanic that people call "calm or smooth aiming" it's less flicky and more consistent. His movement during gunfights is tremendously different/better in his after clips. He wasn't bad at all in the before but his after clips shows him specifically missing shots and then taking a shot once he feels he has confirmation that he is on the enemies head. Vs flicking and then trying to commit to the gunfight by crouching and Spraying.

[@PaTafoin_one]

[@chatival]

It gives you a mental reset and you can jump in fresh. Somebody left a very intriguing comment about this under this video, I think it’s worth a read.

[@FuseiYudo21]

Hey my main problem is that i keep dieing before i can even shoot a bullet. any idea what i do wrong? i try to peek as far from the object in front of me as possible and i try to walk 90° degrees from the enemies line of sight. Is there something else to it? Edit: What i also noticed that i die alot during my strafe and dont get to do a second(third) shot

[@softe8545]

the issue with straging for me is i miss my own shots too, i lose 90% of 1v1's when me and enemy both start strafing after missing our first shot, so i decided if i just didnt hit the shots, walk away and re position xD, im just bronze tho, and tbh i just care about having kills and kda, i not playing for winning just rushing and kills ( trying to enjoy the game only ) but thats the way i found out

[@chatival]

There is nothing wrong with just rushing in for the kills in bronze. From what I’ve seen players in bronze are only there because of mechanics, so I would recommend you to find a nice aimlabs routine and practice. Especially if you don’t have much fps experience on mouse and keyboard

[@mua7d1]

You can easily get out of even gold while not even using a single utility just shooting. Its mechanics, specifically mouse control as it's the backbone for strafing and game specific mechanics. It will will also make you better at every other fps game. Good luck.

for low ranks, strafing seems very hard to accomplish due to the fact that everyone aims at your chest. any tips?

[@chatival]

Yes, did not mention in the video because I did not want to drag it out, but there are times where you need to stop and commit to the fight. When you get hit, you should stop because you are slowed. If you practice what I said in the video you can win most of these fights by just taking your time and hitting the head. It takes practice tho and is not easy.
