I’m loving the consistency of uploads! All recent videos have been very high quality and have helped me stay consistent with my new training schedule. Your video about how to recover when missing shots has changed my mindset completely while playing ranked/ premier in valorant. I can’t support via Patreon right now but I have been liking all videos and have actually sent a few to my buddies. Thanks for content and I hope you have a great weekend man.
Thank you :). It's definitely one of my more ambitious videos in terms of the effort going into constructing it. On these scripted guidelike videos I'll continue to improve the quality in every way I can.
2:07 is so true, so many of my highscores now that I'm pushing for immortal complete are basically about tension management. Using enough to be fast but not too much that you tire out your muscle during the scenario, while also making the transition to a microadjustment easier. This has the added benefit of making your aim less shaky, which I had no idea why it was happening before I realized: "Oh friggin tension, got it".
Great video DDK! The quality is so high in this one, it's obvious you took time to write a solid script and the connections to previous videos were super helpful.
i tend to learn really slowly and I like to grind things... from what i noticed it helps me more to grind easier scenarios and then throw in a couple of hard versions than to do it the other way around. i think people learn differently and it takes time to figure out what works for you.
DDK just wanted to say I’ve never taken aim training seriously but have always had somewhat good mechanics by way of getting kills however watching a couple of your videos and applying it to my aim training routines have made my in game mechanics 10 fold
Love the insight came from this video and a perfect reflection for me when it comes to aim training, recently used aimlabs for training and grinded out gridshot (precision) and consistently hit 85k average and sometimes around 90k but realized I slumped in actual matches in Valorant and forgot the actual mechanics of the game and other stuff to improve upon. Love the vids and thanks for the realization.
ive always loved aim trainers but never had amazing results until i learned how to train and aim in-game properly. for training, its not about score *at all*, its about doing the motions efficiently and smoothly. you have to start slow and consciously examine your aim to fix bad habits. before i would actually hurt my aim by trying to hit scores, reinforcing bad habits. this community knows this but its worth reiterating. my technique aiming in-game was my biggest mistake though. ive always overthought my aim, thinking there is some mental technique or visualization that would tie all my years of gaming experience together and give me comfortable aim. certain "theories" worked pretty well but none of them felt complete. the true secret is to stop overthinking your aim. put your mental energy on perceiving what is happening in-game and aim subconsciously. you want your conscious mind to be pulling in information and your subconscious mind and training to aim for you. in this way your aim is simply an extension of yourself. now my aim finally feels comfortable and natural which is what i wanted. i didnt want to become the ultimate aimer in history but i just wanted to be able to fully express what skill i do have and be the best i can be, which i certainly did. Im not an amazing player (and also a boomer) but i know this info will help the overthinkers like me. i would have loved for someone to show me this when i was a younger gamer. cheers :)
Right now I think people generally overfocus on aiming. Like you cannot benefit from good aim if you don't even have the chance to. Some of my friends started aim traners a while ago and have significantly improved in aim since, but then ask why they lose a gunfight when they peek 3 people alone.
i think confidence in gunfights is definitely a good benefit, but one thing i struggle with is figuring out if something was a good play cuz it could of been the right thing to do but i whiff and it turns to shit anyway
@@fleepity just record your matches and watch them after them, it's really easy to tell if you did something wrong that way. Tbh I never think about anything too that much at all, I just play the games and after time improving is basically automatical
@@greippuli9166 dont have the storage nor the pc peformance to record my matches, but also im still not great even after watching a vod for me it doesnt help as much, im better at trial and error but yknow if my mechs suck i cant tell
Before and after are both good. Just be conscious of not overdoing it if you're about to go play. If it's after a playing session, be conscious of how much quality focus you have left for the day-- for me there's a clear level where I know I'm too tired to maintain sufficient quality and it's better to stop. Is that helpful?
As for the part about unconscious aiming, I saw an aim guide video recently about training that. Does anyone know what video that might be? I can’t find it now
@@greippuli9166 because even players like matty cant hit 100% acc on certain scenarios sometime barely number 1 hit 70% so its like we didnt hit the ceiling of aiming yet and i dont think we're even close to it so the ceiling in aim trainers is too high for us
