[@AQNMedia]

From being hard stuck Gold 3 to Immortal 3 in under a few months I started to notice a lot of the common mistakes amongst the players with decent aim and decent game sense. Pick an agent that is going to benefit the team the most. If you're someone who can AIM then you should be playing someone such as Jett, Chamber, or Reyna. If you're someone who understands the fundamentals more than having the raw mechanical skill then you should be playing someone such as Fade, Sova, or Viper. Make sure you're using proper communication. Learn the call outs and make it less confusing or misleading for other people. Stop saying "They're up top" and "They're all here" especially if you aren't sure. Also, don't back seat play for people. Work on your aim placement and just continue to practice. Check every angle and corner without over extending for long periods of time. Aim for the head and utilize team information. Play with confidence and use your confidence to encourage the best performance from your team. Don't be afraid to take over and call the shots. Draw up a play and do what you have to do to win. IGNORE/MUTE Toxic players. You are never going to win a mental game with a random and you can't avoid toxic players. Sometimes it's better to just accept the fact that people are going to intentionally try to hinder your gameplay and focus on what you can do to keep your team in the game.

Very useful tips. I'm currently asc1 and have tried to implement most of them, but failed to find where I'm lacking. If you ever decide to go down the coaching path, I could be your first test session 😀

[@DaBf]

A little late but... I'm hardstuck bronze 3. I'm not gonna say it's because of smurfs and other stuff like that. I main Skye because she has a lot of team usage but also allows for me to make plays. Watching pro Skye players, I've mostly seen that all they're doing differently is playing with their teams and winning gun fights. In lower elo, with no coms, it's pretty difficult to work with my team (I'll com "I'm flashing main!" And they just peak and die). For gun fights, I feel like I have gold level aim and I'm able to frag against them. Most of my high rank friends(plat +) said I was pretty decent too. Idk what I'm doing wrong. If you have any tips, they're very appreciated

This act, I placed iron 3 and I'm consistently getting 25 kill games and still losing rr.

[@arsalanali7499]

I'd say while his aim is pretty good, Gridshot exactly doesn't help with Valorant except for flicking into general directions. Even if you set the headshot point aside, the recoil, especially on Vandal puts you at a disadvantage since Gridshot only involves quick target switch but in valo you also need to adjust the recoil whole spraying

[@Byefel38]

Exactly. Also, unless there are targets that are smaller in aimlabs it doesn't help flicking towards the head. This is really only flicking onto the head+main body quickly. I honestly don't use anything besides val to train aim. I find there's no better way to train aim (and game sense) than training it on val itself. :)

[@Senbonzakuraaaapp]

[@dysop]

I got better through putting myself in only competitive trial and error using my main (omen). First, I improved aim using tip guides on KZbin and honed my experience and then I used frenzy only to force my game sense to come out and improve.

[@emptycandy5229]

Why spray when you can 1 tap heads

[@jaharitucker3953]

Gridshot or any aimlabs routine etc will never transfer 1:1 to Val. Aimlabs/Gridshot is purely used to learn and master your sensitivity. Which he has absolutely achieved.

[@ShiroVAL]

As a top 100 aimer I can say this guy doesn't understand one thing about aiming. Gridshot doesn't translate to any tacfps... Speed doesn't matter if you don't have precision. It always bothers me when someone thinks they have aim but in reality their scores are 1/2 of ours. I'm talking about precision tasks, not speed.

[@RH1NOTHEREAL]

The issue with valorant is, for low elo this doesnt apply, but later on in mid-higher elo, it doesnt matter how good you are individually anymore. Its a team game, and the better team wins. And in a lot of lobbies that are plat and lower, theres no teamwork at ALL. Everyone is trying to make their own plays because A) they dont care and are throwing/trolling, B) they are cocky and then overheat which happens way too much, C) "its just a game" which apparently justifies them talking shit then going afk, and D) boosted mfs who should be in iron-bronze. You kind of have to stack at least 3 to climb consistently.

Using the wrong activities will definitely hold you back. The activities in Aim Lab that you often see, the ones that get advertised don't help much, especially gridshot which people only play for scores. Finding custom routines or ones provided by the Voltaic community will go a long way to your overall improvement. As for getting better in game. Make a habitual routine of picking apart your gameplay, what you did right and wrong, watch pro plays and pick apart their gameplay, think about what they were doing and why. That's how you get better as a player, through consistency and analysis of your own gameplay and others.

Being someone who was in bronze-gold for 2 acts back and forth which is a big gap I've noticed that aim only takes you so far because of the rng I've been drilling people and get one taped by someone who just jumped off a ledge and started shooting as he turned. But I really started progressing the ranks when I learned just how different a game can be when util is saved/used properly, util can destroy people's focus and aim if used correctly, or even a lineup for example can be used to avoid the risk of losing a gunfight that may impact the round or even the game. And having that mixed with a team of good util combos can easily progress the ranks with meh level aim.

[@dollahbill510]

I'm glad videos like this get made, especially for the bronze, silver, gold, and even platinum players., because these are the ranks where people have a few misconceptions. People in these ranks think that they aren't doing their job right if they aren't fragging out, and they think that they are doing their job right when they are fragging out, when in reality, the ones doing their job right oftentimes aren't on the top of the leaderboard. Subsequently, these are also the same players that think aim is everything... and those players are the ones who put too much value in aim-trainers. It's these players that don't understand the multiple paths to success in this game. To them - everything must be ego-peaked, everything must be swung, every engagement must be had, and if they lose, they think their aim is bad, or they blame their team-mates. All the aim-trainers realistically do is train your movement with your mouse, across your screen.

I was pushing to diamond, but stopped at plat 2 (this push to diamond didnt last long it was like a week long but i was basically mvping every) after that one week i finally got too bored of league and ive stopped playing for a year straight :/ the thing is just in league ive played every champion and like every build possible and its not fun anymore because theres nothing interesting to do. In valorant ive had a phase for each agent too, but eventually got bored of all their playstyles. Thats when it really affects me, because i like the learning curve but when i’m over it, the game becomes to bland to play at a high level. Now in val im plat on 3 accounts and i got plat easily when i was in my neon phase. Neons playstyle really suited me but after a while i got bored of it as well :( now i dont play her. I was one hell of a crackhead during the phase i think i had like 28 headshot percent and i was just top of the leaderboard every-game. Honestly i probably could have pushed for diamond in one swoop during that period but i thought it was a fluke so i went to go get plat on other accounts just to verify i had the skill of a plat player.

In silver and gold if you have good aim you'll always double or triple kill just because of the better gun, and the team doesn't need to trade off each other, the only thing you cant do is lurk and go away from the team, because that's the only way they can get a gun.

[@masterdementer]

What matters in this game is reading the opponents and making a play based on that. Aim is like 20% of the gameplay. You will have a decent aim if you are gold. The rest is tactics. Ofc there are some exceptions. For example a Jett who can OP requires full aim can completly change the momentum of the game. Trust me if you spot her just avoid her and you will have a higher chance of winning. And play in Duo with close friends. That way you can have fun even if you lose. Playing with friends is always fun no matter if you win or lose (majority of the time you will win)

Actually playing Aim Lab helps you make mechanical adjustments to correct your crosshair placement. I would also argue that with any thought put into crosshair placement Aim Lab alone will help you understand it (especially if you play x-axis smoothness scenarios)

[@troysmithfr]

@@ShiroVAL Doesn't really teach you angles for maps though, and even if AimLab has scenarios for that, the movement of the figures is not the same. And on top of that, no aim trainer improves your gamesense. I'm Diamond 2 in AimLab btw

[@ShiroVAL]

@@troysmithfr the movement of the targets and player are irrelevant. A good aimer will be able to adjust for this. And also stop flexing your Diamond. I don't flex my Astra scores either.

[@snes09]

Obviously it doesn't give you game sense or crosshair placement... it was never intended to. It's for training flicking, speed, precision, microadjustments. All the little nitty gritty mechanical parts to aim. Crosshair placement and game sense come from experience in the actual game. No one is arguing that aimlabs trains game sense lmfao

[@amy5932]

@@snes09 All Im saying is being a god in aimlabs wont get you to immortal/radiant in Valorant, obviously. And to get better in Valorant you have to train more than your aim

[@Skeleton43]

In my experience in diamond-low immo there's an AFK about 2 out of every 10 games, and a thrower/ragequitter in another 1 out of 10 games, so there's a 30% chance you'll be playing 4v5. but on the flipside you might also get to play 5v4.

[@Matrix-lr2pb]

You can have a thrower and an afk in the same game tho so it's not necessarily a 30 percent chance.

[@ShiroVAL]

@@Matrix-lr2pb it is 30% that's how math works.

[@Matrix-lr2pb]

@@ShiroVAL Maths isn't just additon lol. He's saying the chances of getting a thrower is 1 out of 10 games and the chances of an afk is 2 out of 10 games so there might be a case when the thrower and an afk are in the same game so you're playing a 3v5 and you get the other afk in a different game then that would be a 4v5. So that would ruin only 2 out of your 10 games that makes it 20 percent. There are other cases when it's 30 percent and 10 percent.

[@ShiroVAL]

@@Matrix-lr2pb the overall chances of having at least one bad teammate are 30% in that case. It doesn't mean that every time there's not a thrower next time the chances would be higher. The chances are the same every time.

[@Matrix-lr2pb]

@@ShiroVAL I think he talked about the chances of playing a 4v5 (basically a bad game)

I'd recommend him to train in valorant too and not just in aimlabs, learn gamesense from youtubes/etc, because he already got the aim.

[@primate90]

I was diamond rank, now ascendant. What I see with Plat and gold players is rather than aim, their mindset is the problem. They dont see their negativeness bring them down and makes them to miss even the easiest shots. Also teamplay is a huge issue in lower elos.

[@AvidMedusa]

Facts low ello sucks, I have friends telling me it's my responsibility to call out when others should peak and use their abilities or go off my blind, or double peak or where to look. Bronze, silver, gold and some plat lobbies sucks cause of this. I could be wrong but sometimes it feels like the only way to win is to control five accounts at once.

i started valorant about a month ago now, moving from controller apex player to mnk val. currently silver 3 but not having problems ranking up yet. i just started ranked in the current act, but i would say 3/10 games i will have an afk or someone throwing games (afk but moving mouse slightly or scripting). its def a problem in lower elo that i hope will start to disapate as i move up into gold/plat.

Been playing Val for a month now, been in ranked for the last maybe almost two weeks (since you gotta hit level 20 and that takes a while) placed bronze 3 and I legit get on ranked play 3-5 games and the first 2 almost always have a player go afk sometimes in the first or second round and it is maddening

[@rozie172]

Here is my advise hope you see this :) -improve your movement for example I saw at 8:40 he was pressing the w button the faster he switches to the s button the faster he can get those one taps. Also learn peeking there are many other videos you can search up on that. -familiarize yourself with economy of valorant: if you win pistol round u gott buy 2nd round after 2nd round you should have won with the good equipment. 3rd round dont buy a vandal because they will also have vandals, try wining with the guns u have already, if you lose you can buy a vandal 4th round and then so on. -Aimlabs but you should also practice somethings in ranged because you can't practice recoil control in aimlabs, so what I recomend is practicing movement, recoil and if u want flicks in ranged too. (as a daily routine u can do ranged and do like 2-3 deathmatches with sheriff only) -Aslo I'm a sage main, so what I recommend is familiarize with the utilities of your agent. Like grim walls are insane if you have good aim, once you get used to them if you intend to continue playing sage, you will be a demon ;) -recording yourself to improve your game sence is always good. ask questions like "what should I have done instead" or "what more could I have done" its a lot not all of them are necessary but I put them in the order I would learn them. Best of luck reaching radiant 🤗

Orange the fruit came first. The word came into English either from Old French 'pomme d'orenge', or from the Spanish 'naranja' (with the subsequent transfer of the 'n' over to the indefinite article, as per 'apron' and 'adder', originally 'napron' and 'nadder').

[@jeremyleemartens801]

Tbh, gridshot is the task I enjoy the most but is also the task I feel helps the least

[@joaobrito2653]

its exactly what you said at around 4:10 . you wanna enter a site as a duelist and the other guys just sit there instead of trading, or your controller smokes the entrance to the site that you want to use and now you have to push the smoke. low elo players have to understand one thing: the most important things in this game are decisiveness and team work. if one of your guys is gonna peek, you are better off peeking with him to at least trade the kill, rather than letting him die for free and then relying on him to give you the info, which he probably wont to. better to make a play together, even if its a bad one. also the whole orange vs mid thing is another important thing. try to say as few words as possible. you can say: mid under the tube, or you can say orange, which is 1 word and gives the exact same info. and also, if you arent sure about your info, dont say it. whenever i play in lower elos with friends it tilts me a lot when they give an info as if they are 100% certain of it and then they arent and i end up being baited edit: oh and the other classic pisslow move is to win pistol and then never buy. its just the dumbest thing ever, but it happens every game

[@scsMai]

the thing about gridshot is, it doesn't convert to any fps scenario, if you want to aimtraing correctly 1 task you can do is sixshot, that one will help already with your aim, gridshot is a task that is just... there

[@GodisGood941]

First shot inaccuracy is a big problem in this game so i try to stop crouching and counter strafe instead. It seems to me that when he crouches is when he takes the most damage or dies

[@Therandomreader]

Honestly he's not bad but definitely has more work to get to immortal or higher. Heres my analysis of each component: Aim: I think his aim is not bad but he did miss a fair number of shots like for example the reyna entry on A. He needs to practice micro which is what makes you good at the game. Gridshot does not force you to be accurate to the head. It only trains your mouse to be in the vicinity of the target. He flicks in the vicinity but takes a while to micro adjust but managed to get kills. You can see this on his fight in B site round 7. He flicks right but not onto the head which comes from practicing with too big of targets in gridshot. Same idea in round 14 in mis, needs micro adjustment practice. He needs to be able to flick onto the head to be on target so he needs much smaller target practice than gridshot. Positioning: Same round 7 as an example in terms of positioning. He exposes himself to those looking from kitchen. Standing behind that angle near the wall closer to snowman or further up under nest would have been safe from other angles like the one he got shot from. In rounds 11 and 12, he did not clear angles correctly. He didnt clear left on kitchen before peaking, and he didnt clear right on B main before peaking and died both times. Gamesense/decisions: One example is peaking chamber when he knew he had the op out is not a good decision. Another example is trigger discipline. His peak on round 10 was an easy 2 kill since they didnt know he was there. Quick 2 head taps should have been the play rather than fight and take damage. He also could change the angle he stands like being closer to base when the 3rd guy came out since thier cross hair would be there when they peak initially. He has a good start but theres a lot left needed to be worked on.

[@primal9238]

I made my own crosshair at first. People made fun of it. Tried a bunch of custom ones, found a few that were fine. But I ended up switching to Yays crosshair but switched it from white to cyan. I like it. There might be a better crosshair out there for me but I don't even know what my best sens is. I'm fine with what I'm using.

[@goofyahh45]

[@carmangaming]

If we are talking ranked, I am hovering between iron and bronze for the last couple acts and I don’t have too much play time with work and stuff. In two days I played about 3 ranked matches and the first was on pearl with an AFK Cypher. The second was on Ascent with an afk Reyna. I play the game for fun but it’s difficult to do that when we will typically have anywhere from 1-2 players afk by the end. I constantly find myself going against gold and plat players in iron/bronze lobbies with at least 1 person AFK. It doesn’t help that the enemies are always toxic too
