Radiants are SLOWER than you?

[@Solgrem]

I saw a tenz clip and he was explaining how he flicks twice. But if you watch it, it’s so fast it looks like one motion. The concept of different rated players taking their time is something I definitely needed to hear about

I often like to shoot 1 bullet on my initial flick just in case but I actually start the gunfight on that second readjustment

[@revanatictheplayer5120]

@@davidplummer7302 but isnt that a waste for your first shot accuracy? depending on gun that can affect the fight quite heavily no?

[@slimyboyit806]

yep that's actually what majority of pros do and a large amount of radiants too. You do a flick and then you adjust. Usually the flick is an under flick so the adjustment is easier instead of an overflick that most people do

[@Tyfoood]

What you were saying at 32:00 is very similar to golf. Lots of people tell you to take your time with your swing when you're new to golf, but you see professionals who are swinging super fast and hitting the ball really far. You attribute their success when hitting the ball to the speed but when you try to swing fast you hit a bad shot. What new players fail to realize is the small fundamental things that are happening in a pro golfers swing that they have trained and developed over time. That training has allowed them to swing really hard because they are instinctively making all of those fundamental movements which gives them solid contact. The reason people say to take your time when starting out is because you need to work slowly with those fundamentals before you try to add power and speed to your shot.

[@theomorrison1099]

As a fellow golfer, I love this analogy. I used to be golfer C; Swinging as hard as I possibly could to get that perfect 300 yard drive... 1 out of every 50 swings. I slowly adjusted from just wanting to hit the ball really far, to getting lower scores when I actually played the course. Then I became golfer A, only hitting 200 yard drives, but 95% of the time being able to find my ball. Slowly you can adjust your swing mechanics and get to the point where you are a 250 yard driver, but still getting it consistently in the fairway. Never thought that Valorant and golf had an aspect so similar, but thank you for the comment. Hopefully this idea will help me improve my valorant consistency.

I’ve been doing the deadzoning and gunfight hygiene practice for a few days now and it feels like I’m getting worse every day. I’ve been crouch spraying for my entire first month of playing val because it works. I get kills with it. When I take my time I whiff and die and it makes me wanna go back. You explained the skill ceiling idea really well and I’m feeling a bit more confident now, gonna stick to the burst firing and swing practice and see how things go :)

[@sev8608]

Well if you want a higher rank, you will want to develop a more accurate aim and movement, along with better gunfight hygiene because you can't guarantee that crouch spraying will get you 1-2 kills everytime and that your team will also be good enough to clean up everything and win the round afterwards.

If you are actively fighting or exposed to a lot of danger, you shouldn’t be looking at the minimap. However, if you’re tucked behind some cover or there’s no fighting yet, you can look at the minimap for a sec

[@VitorJexs]

This is so weird, I had YESTERDAY a talk with my friend where he says it is more efficient to shoot first, aim later, and if you happen to hit head you good, but if you hit body and spray you are equaly good, because both kill the enemy. He said i try way too hard to hit headshots and it makes me lose too many duels. I didnt go full argument with him (because im bronze 3 so i still tecnically dont know how to play valorant), but it felt so weird to watch this today and hear "Aim slow, aim good" basically.

[@scxrlethouse]

if you’re new to fps games then it is probably fine that you’re more patient with taking your first shot, however as you improve and move up the ranks you’re going to need to speed up even if that means a slight hit to your first shot accuracy

@@scxrlethouse Maybe fiding this balance will be the real chalenge ranking up

5:59 yep thats sage's job that's why i hate playing a role other than a sentinel, i unwillingly started to main sentinels especially killjoy, cuz my sentinels teammates dont do their job for holding flanks.

How many times did i have to do their job when i was playing a duelist. They leave the flank and of course i have to start to get worried about it. Im enjoying playing Killjoy tho

[@demonman1234]

I slowed down my aim recently and feel like I hit less shots as I have more time to overthink the shot and miss, whereas my original, fast paced aim I hit a lot more shots since I couldn’t overthink them.

another thing id criticise is the timing of when he is placing smokes, as omen your smokes dont last long at all, 15 seconds i believe, so placing them right as the round starts means theres only about 5-7 seconds when they are still standing as you are on site. Place them accordingly when needed, for example when you are about to leave C long smoke garage, then smoke CT so you get more value out of them

Hey Woohoojin, I am a g1 player and I have around a 30% headshot rate. Despite this, I still feel like I am rushing my shots in most of my gunfights, and it is the main thing I actively work to improve. If you had to guess, do you think that I am actually rushing, or that it is in my head. I have watched my own gameplay and it still seems like I rush shots often. I am asking because I want to know if I should spend time practicing other aspects of my gameplay over taking my time with shots. I am happy to link my tracker, and I thank you for any help you may give. Thank you, and have a good day!

[@blasianking4827]

The headshot rate is what percentage of the shots you land are headshots, it doesn't tell you whether you missed shots or kills because you rushed

- My biggest frustration when playing in ~Gold EUW as Attacker: Having multiple good smokes and flashes thrown on the side but NOONE wants to enter site because there is 1 enemy smoke in main. Just push it with the team, they are flashed/smoked off anyway. - Repeek: When your teammate just died then the enemy is still on high-recoil/low ammo/movement debuff/.... It is a no brainer to instantly peek too and get easy refrag kills (as shown in this video too) - When its a 1v1 and you got the info that the enemy is -130 then DONT pre-aim for headlevel... Aim for the body instead!
