"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.

[@emcbandit8959]

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]

@@emcbandit8959 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

[@Marcus_MJ]

thank you for the tips I was just looking for a good video about aiming and lucky here you are keep up the good work

[@DriftScale]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@saintxix1309]

When I took up Kiriko and her kunai, that episode of Futurama came to mind when Lrrr was like "Instead of shooting where I was, you should've shot at where I was going to be. Mwahaha!" 😅

[@dana.aj13]

I always panic and dont know what to do in most maps as widow, I would always go for the tanks on full health and waste my shots instead of going for healers. After realizing that patience and comfort is key I started improving bit by bit, so I'm really thankful to come across this video.

[@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

[@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.

Ow 2 aim felt weird so im still getting use to it, I had really good aim in ow 1 but now its a lot worse and idk whats wrong with it, ive turned aim smoothing off and done everything I can. I use to be able to 1 clip 200 health mini dva with Sombra but now I can snymore :( (I know she does less dmg without hack than it use to be but its hard to kill 150 hp dva too now)

[@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’

[@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

[@greystonegamer]

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.

[@DerLeitWolf_1337]

Can you actually enable damage numbers ingame or are these only in cutsom games?

[@Shadowsmoke11]

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

[@faelmasters]

Thank you so much for this video. XD

[@mr_d3adw873]

So how do I decide to go for an easier target if, say, I'm pressuring a tank at first and he starts to focus me? I find when I disengage it usually ends with me killed. Could I be disengaging too late? 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. Any advice?

[@plaguedcrow333]

Im in this area where i can hit my targets but seem to do no damage. Its kinda sad cuz i can dps better as a support but trying to kill people as a dps they just get tickled and walk away

[@iamssssss]

on hanzo i just get impatient and shoot before theres actually an opening for a good shot. so i miss then give away position and get focused. aim isnt my issue id say its timing

[@galaxybrainjimmy1520]

are you immersed in the game and feel like you're moving the gun relative to mouse movement and the crosshair just happen to move with it? or is it the other way around, your moving the crosshair and the gun just happen to go with it. cause it seems like its messing with my imaginary anchor/pivot point.

[@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.

[@minhnguyen475]

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.

[@ruinknightsir]

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

At 4:05 that code doesn't work I have tried entering it twice now and both times my game has crashed on me

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..

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

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

[@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 😄

[@vickievdmndd]

What sensivity that you recommend for widow?

[@lovethepandainyou]

It's CT04V. And as a fps player coming into OW2, it really helped me big time just getting a feel for my aim sensitivity and for how champs move in this game. Going there once or twice really helped things click a bit more. I'm not master and probably will never go for it, but I can actually enjoy OW2 a lot more now.

[@aquanos]

A friend of mine who is better than me told me to "just shoot them, don't think about anything else".

[@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.

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.

But it was me who conflict memory muscle because i almost always forget what my dpi for that or another character was in use. So this summer also when i got new computer. I thought that it might conflict my memory muscle, and i simply deleted almost all dpi. I left only one for computer. So yeah if u did that stuff too. Pls. Just stop.
