Basically, aiming at 300fps on 160+ hz monitor is a breeze compared to 100ish fps on 60hz monitor. Overwatch suffers from massive input lag that doesn’t really go away unless you can maintain consistent 240ish fps.

[AIM CANNOT BE DEVELOPED IF YOU WEREN’T BORN WITH TALENT]
This is false.
Anyone can develop Aim.
The problem is the game is not designed to make you better, it’s designed to make you worse.
You get better through experience, but if your experience level consists of people the same or worse than you, You have no basis to train your aim to get better if you never put yourself in a situation where you can get rolled over and over again, until you learn to push past it either through mechanical experience, or game sense.

It can. I was absolutely garbage when i started playing OW and improved tons. My only handicap rn is my current mouse and framerate that arent anywhere near good.
Best advice I ever received was to normalize my sensitivity across all games, all characters/heroes.
Hard to develop muscle memory if your settings are different game to game or character to character.

Problem with this post, how do you KNOW if you were even born with Talent???
Think about this, nobody is born to play video games, but rather they have the ability to adapt and learn more than others. In other words, your perspective is the problem, not a lack of talent.
If you want help with getting better aim, there are routes to take, but you’d need to tell me a few things first so I could better help out.
What mouse do you use?
How do you hold it?
What’s your current in game sens?
How big are your hands?
What part of aim are you having trouble with?
your not totally wrong, but mostly wrong, I used to be way better at aiming when I played CS all the time. but am no longer that good because I quit shooters for a long time
I have a hard time aiming in OW more than any video game i ever played. why? because of how often heroes can jump and the movement speed they have side ways compared to other games. they are far too mobile. even a tank has more mobility than a cs go character
Yes and no.
Their is a huge difference between playing the game and practicing.
Even if you get all the information your execution could be garbage and you cement bad behavior.
If you have hard time to improve and you don’t have fun, don’t do it.
One of the skills is most misunderstood an not teached is dueling, footsie battle.
How to move, how to position, when to shoot, how to expose weaknesses against an enemy is the key to get your damage.
This is dependent on who you play and against who.
Example: Against Genji you want to keep a certain distance so you have him in your FOV when he jumps to juke you.
Your aim will also suck if you have massive input lags, low framerate, lags in general

What are you taking about? Enemies constantly jumping is the best thing you can have as hitscan. It makes their movement super predictable and easy to hit.
Agree
AD crouch spam makes it hard

that doesn’t logically make sense.
This is absolute garbage. If you actually practice, you’ll get better at aiming. Quit trying to discourage people with your stupid pity party.

which is true.
the majority of great aimers were born with it.
Oh, this is the same HailFall from the Hearthstone forums. I miss your level of exceptionalism there.

I dunno, before they disappeared for a while the quality was really low and subpar. It was too easy to point out the fallacies. There are much better trolls these days.
there’s no such thing as talent only hardwork. The man who had to work for his achievements, will ultimately go further than those who don’t.
While I don’t have the best aim, I can apply some self-learning tips to help improve.
-
Compare your own aim with better players in order to understand what mistakes you’re making and how to improve.
-
isolate specific issues and practice them in a controlled environment.
-
Look at your mental state while playing. My aim drops significantly if I’m stressed, angry or tense then my aim goes down significantly. Instead you always want to remain calm and relax no matter.
-
look at your gear and network. Does it feel fluid and comfortable to play on.
-
have one sensitivity across all games to help develop muscle memory.
-
eat healthy, exercise and get lots of sleep. That may seem unrelated to aim but for anything even if it doesn’t involve physical activity, doing those three things will keep you in a good mental state.
It can be developed and improved on anyone.
Just that everyone’s peak potential is different.

Whats your computer setup like?
I play a lot of those Widow hs games and I always notice the Widows in 6th-12th place seem to have like 50fps.
If you aren’t set up on at least 144hz, you should try it. It really makes a difference.

But there is still a TON of that in the game. Even at the highest level of play you have Mei.
no dude, ow is my first fps. Season 1 i had 15 years old and i was really bad, i was silver tbh. I played a lot and hit plat 3 season after, just by playing ow casually. And after that, i really wanted to be better and i was like " why some player are gm and me plat ? " I discovered aiming communities and asked them lot of question about aiming because, believe me, 80% of youtube tutorial are a big joke. For exemple " muscle memory is a joke and a meme " but every ytb tutorial talk about muscle memory. I discovered kovaak and some good aimer with insane guide, like this one " https ://www.dropbox.com/s/vaba3potfhf9jy1/KovaaK%20aim%20workout%20routines.pdf?dl=0 " And today i have 400 hours in kovaak, I am in top 100 of 90% kovaak scenario and some scenario im in top 20. Like i said, aiming is not muscle memory or any ***, its how u feel good with ur mouse. Some pro like nenne, jjonak ( and me ) are left handed irl but play with their right hand, so you have no excuse. You must have heard a lot of *** about aiming and all your training was probably really bad, because its like all sports, you can train 1000hours but if its a bad things for you, you’re not gonna make any progress. And btw, guess what, today i’m 4k1 and play hitscan. And btw 2, widow is 70% of gamesens and only 30% aiming. Aiming hero are tracer, soldier…

I agree, although I think tracking can be practiced but can’t be as good as natural talent
