What’s funny, is this is actually great advice. I’m in bronze, and I will usually drop 4-8 kills in the first two rounds, and then proceed to get 1 kill across the entire rest of the game lmao

[@nullcmdval]

If it makes you feel any better, higher ranked players make the same mistake as well. It’s an important enough topic that I felt that I needed to make a video on it, and also because I’ve been seeing a lot of improvement in my own aim from learning proper tension management.

[@1F030]

haha same, first 3 rounds is my strongest but i admit, i mostly play agents like harbor and use my utility for my team not for 1on1s. But I know why, i have to be extremly patient soon everbody got vandals etc. with smaller weapons u can turn the game quicker, because the range and damage is reduced. I now have i would say middle good aim as shown as in the beginning of the video, but i play on really slow sensitivity and sometimes my problem combined with the tension is to place my mouse in the center of my mousepad again after quick turns, if u tensioned u really make it a mess that looks cutted, if u relax its just one smooth motion...i play on 6400 dpi 0.022 sens...lol dont judge me xD But i have to say 1 thing for high tension - there are situations where it works fine, like when u do triple or quadrakills with bursting them from behind or because they stand in line its 2 or 3 second situation its like shoting a gun and need to be relaxed on the shot but dont underestimate the recoil just to imagine lol and same is it ingame, all that what makes it so hard is the recoil, so even if u miss the first shot, where does the second go? only 2 ways - 1 u wait for the recoil to reset and shoot a shot again or 2 u shot the second straight after the first and control the recoil - i get many headshots choosing 2 but if they are standing next to each other, i see thats the next step cause i need 2 shots for one guy, i can aim on the head of the second but soon im there im dead cause i took 2 long...

Makes sense, I topfrag early and slowly, I feel like my aim is getting more and more off. So this explains why, I forget to shake my hands, often, but when I stand up after I die to get a cold drink, my aim somehow returns. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Don’t get me wrong, telling people to “just take their time to aim” may be helpful for players who have a bad habit of panic spraying. But if you’re in any rank above Platinum, taking your own sweet time to adjust your crosshair is _definitely_ not the solution. You die hella fast in this game, and aiming slower will only make it worse.

[@vivianevo8304]

taking your time is a good tip for newer players working on their technique, of course taken out of context, it sounds dumb, but when your just trying to develop a good technique, taking your time helps you be more intentional and mindful so that you can keep good technique as you improve and naturally become faster. I do love your video though and have been stuck trying to figure out how to deal with the tension in my aiming arm. to the dm we go.🔥

[@nullcmdval]

I honestly think that “take your time to aim” can be worded a lot better. A lot of players interpret it as literally slowing down your mouse movements in game, but the main issue here is actually a lack of discipline. You need to approach every gunfight with the mindset of tapping or burst firing with the rifle, rather than panic spraying the moment you see an enemy. That, and the underlying reason which is not staying calm during gunfights. Cheers!

[@kbirdw7645]

Great video and tips to keep in mind, but I do think at lower levels the mantra, "you have more time than you think." does actually hold up. People at Radiant will click your head in under a quarter second, but the bronze player that's had the game for two weeks is going miss three free shots on you and start spraying 9 times out of 10. A lot of people miss a ton of shots due to rushing even when the enemy is staring at a wall or door looking for something else while you have your crosshair hovering over them. I think movement and first shot accuracy are probably the biggest game changers for new people looking to not die every time they turn a corner in this game. Aiming is secondary to not being the guy who rushes through doors getting sniped every round, or loses out on free kills because you have to shoot as soon as you possibly can against people who still can't hit a head shot unless the spray pattern Gods give them a statistical miracle.

​@@fireninja7564TenZ doesn't have anything close to calm aim. He flicks and moves about really fast. He never takes time to kill. His mouse movement is same like CS. Same goes for every CS pro that transitioned to Valorant. In CS, you can't thrive with the so called calm aim as everything happens so fast. Players with thousand of hours over several years in CS will never have that typical calm aim. Also honestly, calm aim will only help in ranked. That style ain't working in pro plays. Enemies won't give u time to adjust your crosshair.

Damn you ranked up from Bronze to Platinum and this is your first act playing? You’re insane bro keep it up!

A very well said video and not too long. I agree with this but i also want to add a point, i used to be flashy with my aim using duelists/initiators. But then I wanted to train my tension, so I switched to sentinel, i focused on higher hs% using chamber/deadlock/viper and i got consistent with lower deaths. Ik there are some duelists out there that have "calm" aim, but for me what worked was using agents with passive abilities which made me more composed.

[@nullcmdval]

That’s a very good point! When you take abilities out of the equation (apart from buy phase) it makes it way easier for you to focus wholly on your aim.

Hey man! Don’t get me wrong, telling players to take their time can be extremely valuable advice too depending on the context. For instance, some players may struggle with a bad habit of panic spraying, and the simple act of allowing themselves just a couple milliseconds to calm their nerves before a fight could make all the difference.

You’ve presumably been doing this KZbin thing for far longer than I have, so kudos to you man 🫡

[@oparysh]

I think the best tip that helped me aiming good consistently is turning off your brain while dueling the enemy even in ranked. What do I mean by that: 1) You don't have to be a headless chicken. Focus on your decision making, positioning and crosshair placement instead of tracking and adjusting. 2) The reason why you don't have to focus on tracking and adjusting is because of your training. You (probably) spend 5-15 minutes warming up before queuing up and train some time after matches. You have enough muscle memory to afford not thinking about general basics of aim. If you don't think and still suck, being overwhelmed won't help, take your time practicing. It's more fun than it sounds. It will also help fighting against much more experienced opponents. If you just don't care about who and how you fight, you will find yourself on top of the board much more often.

[@nullcmdval]

I completely agree with you and this has been my experience as well! That’s why I only recommend being aware of your tension levels while you’re doing targeted practice in a DM. Contrary to what most believe, ranked isn’t _that_ serious and it’s perfectly fine to win or lose some gunfights. Don’t overthink it too much!

[@lartistecat]

I'd also recommend to not burn yourself out before hopping into a comp match. It was the standard that I'd do a Swiftplay/TDM/Deathmatch before going into competitive, but I found that to actually burn my mental. I've had much better experience just going straight in versus a warm-up.

[@elperLFY]

Honestly i am half-way to a proper calm aim getting the right Tension in my Arm, literally destroying my enemies, also putting some Mental in this just trying to not care on the outcome of the game but the outcome of my skill's, this means that i'm trying to focus in learning and not caring about the rank and this is taking improvement to my skills, as i'm being accused of smurfing more and more, and now i'm focussing on game-sense, this will keep going for every rank, especially when i'm in play i'm sure i'll need a new fresh game sense instead of Aim, as Aim once you learn for a few ranks is good like it is, the important is having consistency to be honest. Nice advice by the way!

[@nullcmdval]

Calm down yourself, don't grip your mouse like your are climbing on a stone wall and trust your muscle memory in combination with a good pre aim. You are fast when it comes to the micro adjustments and the rest is the "calm" part.

Maybe try asking for advice on Reddit or a similar community? There may be other high ranked players that are willing to help you out.

The tension advise is correct, but you also need to go slow to go fast. Pros aren't just born with speed. It takes deliberate practice to build smoothness, starting from slow lines. If you always go as fast as possible you'll be stuck with bad technique but if you practice good technique you will be able to ramp up speed gradually. This goes with any mechanical skill; football, basketball, driving, shooting.

[@Smokeyxz]

Damn

[@nullcmdval]

Hey there! First off, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. You’re absolutely right in saying that you need to learn how to go slow before you can go fast. However, I feel that perhaps the points I raised in the video were misinterpreted. I’m not at all suggesting that players should rush their shots or flick wildly like a madman. Rather, I’m addressing players who whiff their shots due to poor tension management and are being told to just “slow down their aim.” While it does take deliberate practice to develop smooth mouse movement, without knowing the proper way to hold your mouse, you can easily hit a bottleneck that limits your progress. The clips I use, whether my own or others’, are meant to reinforce the techniques I discuss, not to mislead or take shortcuts. The purpose of this video is not to appeal to ignorant people, but to provide practical advice on building a strong foundation in tension management. I appreciate your input though, and will definitely work on being more nuanced in future videos. Thanks again!

I have been Silver 2 and I have been immortal 3 277RR And this man is speaking truth... All tutorial are bullshit... Be peaceful, don't stress, Enjoy ( if you feel like you can't do any of those never start playing)

good advice, i have a question i appreciate it if you answer 😅, when i dont really have a tension in my mouse, and im relaxed i usually lose control of the mouse, do you think it's me problem or im holding the mouse incorrectly?

[@Matchah0lic03]

So on my way to improve my aim, i noticed that 1. Alway aware of the tension your hand put on the mouse, sometimes your hand not in the "default" position 2. Dont focus on gunfight, alway gathering info on the map and adjust ur position, good position give u higher percentage and winning gunfight 3. Just like in the video, dont be a slow aimer, but take time to clear angle. 4. Losing gunfight against an enemy doesnt mean anything, the most important is studying their habits, not just 1 but their entire team, how do they use utils, how do they peek, where they usually peek. 5. Finally, never ever let any1 on the enemy team or ur team affect ur mental. Winning is good but losing is the chance to learn and improve. Good luck everyone and i hope yall reach ur goal. ❤

Confidence thats all you need

The first one rhymes well!

Simply put, slow is smooth, smooth is fast, you start practicing accuracy over speed and speed comes later. All you require is patience

[@moka7297]

That is true. I noticed that lately when my left clicker in my mouse stopped working... xD I was pressing it so hard that it just told me that he had enough xD

You are so underrated
