ioStux Coaching | Overwatch you are first person to transfer good aim into words so that it is easy to understand before being good in aim already. And these pointers give beginners good guidance on what to focus on from the beginning so they don’t have to learn with trial and error like me in CS 1.3 and MoH:AA.

[@level100potato]

The first shot also gives away your positioning, so if you miss it you might not get the pick at all. If you're flanking, once the enemy you want to pick realizes you're attacking them, they'll take action to try to make it more difficult to pick you (e.g. adad strafing, shooting you, calling for help from teammates, burning abilities). But when you're flanking, that first shot is your chance for easy damage since they're initially unaware of the flank, so it can often make the difference between whether you get the kill or not. Good video as usual.

I can’t wait for the Aim Practice Methods, I am raring to go hard on the grind

[@pranav2169]

Poison Designs as he's said b4 aim is not as important as game sense unless you're playing a sniper, but like for ana still need game sense for the clutch flick sleeps and the right times to nade.

[@jineapple]

pranav I know that, it’s just I haven’t played for a while and my aim is currently not as good as before. Obviously I need gamesense and want to acquire more

[@pranav2169]

Poison Designs oh ok that's the same for me lol got exams soon so haven't played in around 2 months can't wait to come back in summer. What rank are you btw?

[@jineapple]

Before I stopped playing, I was on my way to masters but my PC broke down and it wasn't a good PC anyway so I wanted to save up for a new and better one

[@acorn2565]

aquire THEN fire, yes?

[@seeknprotect6179]

No Spraynpray

[@SaschaWagner]

Very good video! I have already noticed some of it subconsciously, but it is something completely different to know WHY it works. Those were some interesting points I never really thought about.

[@HeliosSoul]

any tips to practice hitting 1st shots in particular methods?

[@MaestroOfficial]

Trying to do this in valorant with higher ping is a nightmare.

[@Max-ol8mr]

Is 60hz monitor really such a big deal as a Tracer main?ik i didnt ask last vid but i dont think its impossible hitting grandmaster even w quite shit gear

[@Mulkrut]

While higher fps and hz gives a good advantage you can reach gm with shit gear, just read the story about Eqo (player on philidelphia Fusion), he had 3 accounts in top 10 in season 4 playing on 30 fps and 180 ping.

[@pranaym.4940]

Mulkrut eqo is like every anime character, they take the limiting bands off and go crazy

[@Mulkrut]

[@scofieldow]

well I'm GM on 60hz monitor and avg of 70fps

[@ToxicHorsePucky]

Mulkrut Just goes to prove that positioning and gamesense is everything in Overwatch

[@lmp8156]

Very informative as usual, keep up the good work!

[@bluerouge5083]

You have any tips for console?

[@Max-ol8mr]

Blue Rouge get a PC

[@ilovepeppapig8837]

If youre having trouble overshooting try raising aim ease in from 2-7. Also aim smoothing is really bad, try and put it 50 or below. High sens is always preferred if possible.

[@ilovepeppapig8837]

Murmaxy Funny comment xD haha xD

[@pranaym.4940]

Buy a XIM4

[@MrLegoman65]

Blue Rouge buy a PC

[@alterer]

what kind of crosshair are you currently using? mainly play mccree and widow looking for advice because i just use a tiny crosshair right now

[@gabriel101x]

Crosshair like sensitivity is personal preference. But you should use a crosshair that it easy to see out of the corner of your eye but not so easy to see that it becomes a distraction since you never want to be focusing on it. For me I like a short crosshair at 50% opacity, I'm using 7 gap and 5 length.

[@paul6408]

Dang i thought this was going to be about why my first flick shot almost lands but after that initial shot i bot out. IOStux, when i play mccree my first shot always seems to land but after that it becomes harder is there an explanation and if i'm just bad

[@paul6408]

like even when the enemy isn't looking at me or noticing me after that first shot.

[@godlyporkchop3709]

same

[@louismeiering4555]

Hey, i dont know if you even reply to comments but i have a question: When should i "lock" on a hero selection? And how much should i lock on one "class" like dps/tank/heal? Like in the pro teams they have their players attached to the classes like xqc played only tank. Is this even "possible" without having a roster/teammates? I kinda like the idea to only play tank for example and only sometimes play different/ or in quickplay. Are there pros that have main heroes that are not from 1 class? like ana, mccree and orisa f.e. would make sense to me.

[@ioStux]

Use the 3 2 1 Rule, 3 Characters, 2 Roles, 1 Signature

[@louismeiering4555]

at first thanks for replying, sounds like a good idea... for example my best main is mccree, than i also got soldier for example and 1 tank to switch off

[@aryansingh2199]

ioStux Coaching | Overwatch my 321 is Ana/Zen/Rein, Heal/Tank, Projectile. However, I'm in bronze so to have a good team comp I usually need to flex into other roles, and sometimes those heroes don't work in the situation (ex. I'm playing against a team with a bastion and a really good flanker. Bastion melts Rein sheild, flanker melts Zen and Ana). What should I do in those situations?

[@louismeiering4555]

Aryan Singh Maybe i can help you... I dont know what its like to play at bronce, but its you teams Job to kill the Bastion tbh. Try not to keep your shield up all the time because youre slow and ez to hit. If your m8s play Heroes that need your shield there is not much you can do... Try to find someone thats plays with you and communicates... The Trick for ana is to keep the right distance to your team.. Many low rank player Position allmost like a widow, but ana doesnt have mobility or high dmg.. Allways keep so much distance that you can See and heal most of your team but not so much that flanker can pick you without getting noticed... Use your grenade for Tricks Situation Focus on hitting your sleepdart on threats... Dont know much about zen... He has 1shot Potential but is as you said easy to flank... Just stay close to your mates...

[@123b3n123]

May I ask the name of the song that is playing while you explain these videos? I really enjoy it.
