How To Master Aim in Overwatch 2 (Guide)

[@Hufsa]

"Calm down" was the most important tip to improve my aim immediately, I played tracking heroes the last 6 months and then I started to play Ana and I was missing lots of shots, my average was like 40%, now it is almost always over 60% which feels good, I still make mistakes but it was a great first step to me.

[@ketteringsfinest6512]

Very true man, I’ve found that in overwatch, if I’m calm I tend to see more results. Literally half hour ago I told myself to remain calm and collective and I ended up doing something like 26-6 with a 15 kill streak.

[@Hufsa]

@@ketteringsfinest6512 right, yesterday I lost 4 matches in a row, then I wanted to win so hard that I think I was unconsciously throwing, 5th match seemed lost and just decided to stay alive and let my team die, at the end we regrouped, enemy team tried to hunt me since I wasn't dying and we won, I wasn't even trying to win, just wanted to survive, when I really tried in previous matches we just lost.

[@emcbandit]

funnily enough this does the opposite for me when playing ana, when I try to land my shots and keep a cool head I proceed to miss about 20% of the time, then when I'm hopping around doing random shenanigans like flicking for no apparent reason, I start hitting almost all my shots, I just can't help but feel uncomfortable with not paying attention to stuff around me

[@ketteringsfinest6512]

@@emcbandit I think every hero has their own play style. For genji, hopping about works a lot for me but when I play as sojourn I’m usually pretty stationary if I’m looking to hit my targets. It’s like every hero has their own personality I guess u could put it.

You'll always struggle while learning new things, just accept that you will lose some games before climbing higher than where you were before

[@Chizypuff]

I always get panicked in duels and perform horribly, until the other day I started recognizing when I'm in a stressful scenario and just take a breath and my aim gets so much better. Calm down is my #1 tip also. also sometimes I prefire just to the right of a character, because they should be moving back that way towards cover but instead they just walk back left into a deadzone and my shots miss I wish I could say I'm high enough rank that it might be a mindgame, but I'm not

[@mr_d3adw873]

Been there on the predicting people and they go the opposite direction. But I kinda feel like those people do long strafes. They'll walk left for a bit. Then walk right for a bit, almost bottish but it throws your aim off a bit 😂

[@amaritsu]

Overwatch has to be one of the weirdest shooters I’ve had to play. Like.. yes skill issue but not being able to mix crouching and having players move a million miles an hour is insane

[@hassansyed6087]

6:16 --> That is the tip i really needed. Thank you man. I sometimes just follow the enemy movement too much and not end up hitting a single shot.

[@TwilightenEspanol]

I tried some of these tips... first I was losing but I kept forgetting to stay calm and my movement was off we lost around 10 games but then everything change I got more comfortable and we started to win.. we are winning a lot of games ....I also checked out the videos and they help a lot

I know this video us like a year old, but this was such an eye opener! You did a lot of research and adding in your own experience was a great way to introduce these concepts and made it really easy for me to understand! I'm autistic, low support at that, but have always struggled with my aim in Overwatch because of the tips I was given not helping me. I tried aim trainers and watching videos from "pro" players who ended up confusing me more with the way they put things into words, and didn't introduce examples like you did. Those kind of guys just confused and frustrated me more. But the "Calm Down" tip and combining movement really made so much more sense to me, along with the simpler language and examples you used! I'm getting ready for Season 13 to boot up now on my PS4 and this has been such a good video to watch! DPS characters like Widowmaker, Tracer, and Cassidy have always been very daunting for me to try because of previous experience, but this made so much more sense! Thank you Nate for gathering research and including your own examples in this, I'm really eager to try this out and see if it helps! The parts about movement + aim, and about the animations of certain heroes made so much more sense with how you explained it. Thank you so much, Nate! Big shoutout to you for your dedication! 🩷🩷🩷

Ive been doing the aerial training with zenyatta. In 4 hours i went from 4% accuracy in the flying heros to 22% for both main and volley. As a controller user, tbis was definitely helpful as to figure out how to lead zens shots and stuff at all distances 5m to 20m.

" Calm down and dont beat yourself up over shots u dont land " THIS IS WHAT I DO ALL THE TIME TY BRO, And the widow same scope helped me ALOT, so many more headshots picks and victories already!

[@hayleybailey47]

Notes to take down: - Movement is crucial to assist your aim (Overwatch specific) 0:23 - Stop moving when you take a shot then move after (hit-scan only) 1:08 - Continuously move with your tracking, meaning acknowledge how your movement requires you to aim along with it (semi-auto or tracking weapon heroes) 1:23 - Match-up influences how you should move around 2:10 - Do not stress to hit every shot as this mindset may affect your performance to aim, be calm and take shots you know you can hit 2:28 - Get comfortable with your sensitivity to aim by practicing your sensitivity to get used to it (hit-scan/tracking) 2:55 - Flicking assists with projectile weapons (flick to the predicted movement of whom you are aiming) 3:24 - Adjust your sensitivity decrease if you over-shot or increase it if you under-shot (watch replays of your aim) 4:07 - Have knowledge on locked animations for some heroes (movement that they can’t cancel) and use it to predict their movements 5:18 - To hit ‘Strafing’ players, aim in the general centre between both edges of the ‘Strafe’ or shoot at one of the points they change direction 5:52 - Predict movement via ‘game sense’ (situation of environment or behaviour of players movement) 6:28 - If any, choose unaware targets or ones that feel safe which they are mostly still, thus easier to hit targets (take your time) 6:50 - IMPORTANT SETTINGS: Scope sensitivity for Widowmaker and Ana should be 37.89% and Ashe is 51.80%, go to ‘Accessibility’ and change ‘Camera Shake’ to ‘Reduced’

[@Stridee]

[@George_Washington420]

The tip about moving helps your aim has helped me tremendously. All I did was apply that one concept and had so much better aim immediately

[@retro3856]

Another thing that wasn’t completely delved into your mentality also affects how you aim. And relax your hands when aiming the odds are you’re super tensed during gun fights try to loosen the death grip the more relaxed you are less likely you’re going to panic another type is to put yourself in uncomfortable situations or gun fights often. Crouching while Strafe can also help your aim because you’re moving slower. Ow is a very movement aim reliant game move in ways that are predictable for you but unpredictable for the enemy

[@mercenarywolf3747]

Unfortunately on console we don't have the option to be so precise with our aim sensitivity settings for Ana, Widowmaker and Ashe. Means we can't match up exactly where we need to be for this to work out. 😔 Thank you for the advice though. I found this helpful.

To be honest, when I started playing Overwatch, I had an edpi of 50k, and i was pretty bad. But when I watched Widowmaker guides, they said to lower your sensitivity, and i'm now at 2400 edpi. Climbed from bronze to gold in 2 days with Widow only. Finding a good sens does help.

A friend of mine who is better than me told me to "just shoot them, don't think about anything else". I hate that I took this advice seriously because all of these things such as prediction and calmness were lost and I no longer possess those skills making me worse in many situations. Thank you for this video, I have now realized the problem and will solve it using your helpful tips and tricks.

[@thousandsunny2055]

I have a friend who says the exact same thing unfortunately I’ve learn over the years of knowing them they possess strong raw aim so it’s literally just as easy for them to aim as it is to say that phrase.

[@Gray.1063]

Want some good advice to REALLY improve your aim? Probably the best I could give. Go into custom games, click create new, import code, then type in one of these 3 codes, KAVE5, GBM5N, CT04V. They’re all very good at improving your aim! my favorite is the one that just takes you straight into the big room with a bunch of enemies that all just move around randomly, “I don’t remember which one it is from the codes I shared but it’s there.” From there some good side tips to train effectively using the codes is choose window maker and just spend time getting good at one shotting the bots. You’ll see that doing this will actually improve your all around accuracy when you swap to other characters. Practice this and just take your time on each shot and try to remember that it’s not a race and you have nothing to worry about if you’re missing a bunch of shots. Eventually you WILL start to notice yourself improving and you’ll start getting faster and more accurate with each shot. Even with other characters! If you like these tips and would like to know more I’ll gladly add onto this to help you get better 😄

[@AbboSnabbo]

this actuallly helped me alot, cheers man!

[@davidsimmons177]

Those settings at the end were literally NIGHT AND DAY how did I not know this

[@audieboyful]

I would like to note that a lower sensitivity is actually more beneficial and has more room for error. Suppose there is a small circle on your mousepad that corresponds to an enemy’s head. If you halve your sensitivity, that circle becomes twice as far away, but the radius of the circle will double (and area increases by 4x)

[@pastortroy4life]

Yeah, but the circle is also moving more quickly across your mouse pad and is on the mousepad for less amount of time.

[@meneerbeer4518]

Only works in games like valorant. Overwatch is much too quick paced and you’ll become useless at close range.

[@Giathirds]

dude the strafe thing always gets me. and makes me look like a fool everytime. even an ana got me like this. trying to get better but it feels so hard. trying my best though

[@ruinknightsir]

I thought I was just not as good at ash as I was at other dps until you showed the aim sens

[@mangle9143]

[@Shadowsmoke11]

High refresh rate monitors also are huge help in vastly improving aiming. Since movement is so erratic in OW.

[@Braedon]

Nate the goat for this one

[@foolem3024]

If you play someone like soldier one tip is changing your primary fire keybjnf to like spacebar. Doing this prevents your finger from puting pressure on the mouse redusing friction and making your aim smoother

[@fry129]

finally a video that doesnt immediately say "change your settings to this and that"

[@wiredelectrosphere]

It’s so hard to aim In OW that when you start CS:GO It feels so easy to get picks there. The main reason Is players don’t lose momentum while changing directions so they can move like a rattlesnake’s tail If they want

[@Rizingfz08]

No other game give me so much problem to aim like this game, even with 15% sense still hard, maybe the smooth aim can help..

[@opposite8388]

15% on 800 dpi? If so that's super high. Most high level players sit around 4-8

In addition to other tips you see in the comment section. I suggest finding that perfect mouse sensitivity for you. For i’m still tweaking with mine as i play and i try to get a feel of how/where my bullet would go. The feeling is just due to practice and practice. I had my hours in CSGO so my muscle memory is there, i just needed to apply to OW heroes.

[@darkspinegaming8213]

I feel ashamed at the fact I'm actually having to look this stuff up. Like I played the first game ALOT and I was pretty damn good at it and got POTG alot of the time and would never miss my shots. 2nd game came out and my skill was still there and I was still pretty good but then I stopped for like a week or teo because of personal reasons and now that I've come back my skills are gone entirely like wtf happened in that small time frame. I feel ashamed that I'm suddenly not at the level I used to be or usually am

[@mitkoogrozev]

I don't know how one can be calm while being shot, and their HP evaporates because the enemy is already more accurate. If I try to be calm, that means I take a lot more time to aim, and the enemy has moved by then or I'm dead.

[@lancehillis4884]

Step 1: Realize you’re not actually having fun any more, and although the concept and UI of Overwatch is unique and the execution is addicting, you know that it is a black hole of productivity and time in your life. Step 2: Come to the realization that the arbitrary metric of rank means that there is no ceiling, with the exception of rank 1, which is something that a very small percentage of the player base will achieve, usually streamers, who are, in the majority, not having fun any more. This is essentially a skill cap ceiling that is maxed out in the same way as any other competitive activity; by those who are inherently born with the talent to perform high APM, masterful hand-eye coordination, mechanics and decision making that matches their talent, and tons of free time to practice, and the only reason they even stick with it is from videojuego addiction, or are attached to a profit motive as a pro gaemer or streemer. Step 2: Realize this and most FPS are a Petri dish for toxicity, as it’s an adrenaline packed, competitive atmosphere, only amplified by anonymity. Step 3: Go play a roguelike instead

I know sometimes it's just that I've pushed up too far and I got punished, but there's been times, mostly in quick play, where I'll be playing a off angle with McCassidy and get a whole tank just rush me (ball is bad about it rn lol) I'll try to regroup but by that time I'm dead bc of burst damage and I'm too slow.

I cannot find a dpi and sensitivity setting that matches this game. I have been trying everything. Aiming feels unintuitive with the characters' movements having zero momentum penalty. Move left and then move right instantly without any shifting or slowing down in animation. It's incredibly janky to me and it's very unrealistic. I can't figure out this game's dumb movement. I am constantly undershooting and undershooting my shots when trying to hit someone regardless of edpi.
