When it comes to “perfect play”, it can be debated that those who crank up their aimbot to the fullest extent are in fact utilizing “flawless play”, despite how ridiculous it may be.
I personally have never searched for aimbots, much less downloaded or utilized one, but across my subscriptions of famous youtubers, I’ve now witnessed what the most egregious aimbotters look like, along with those who attempt to disguise it among normal play.
Inadvertently, some of these ridiculous clips and footage has given me insight as to where to be aiming relative to fast movements, whether it be the shooter or the one being shot.
Thoughts?
No. Having good crosshair placement and good positioning have almost nothing to do with an aimbot helping you aim. You will not learn anything from having one or watching people play with them that you wouldn’t learn equally as well from an actually good player. In fact it would likely be detrimental because you’d probably be learning habits based off the capabilities of the cheats instead of what you should actually be doing.
I appreciate the reply but I respectfully disagree. I’ve been habitually “aiming wrong” with some heroes until I saw an aimbotter hitting everything, and, call me what you will, I absolutely learned something from it.
Learning from observing can be helpful in landing shots.
Some people do the same with just practise in game.
It’s legal as long as you don’t actually download and use any.
As I stated, you will learn the same, if not better habits from players with actually good aim. There’s nothing inherent about aimbotting that makes you capable of learning from them.
People who cheat are typically doing so because they are lacking a particular skill that they need to make up for by having hardware or software assistance. Their habits will never be as good as a legitimate players who can aim well. You may be able to learn something from watching them, but it’s not because they’re using an aimbot, it’s just because they already had some prior skills that the aimbot isn’t augmenting. However these habits could themselves be flawed or even detrimental to real higher skill aim, so you’d be learning bad habits. Those bad habits might be better than your current habits, but are ultimately not good things to learn.
You can still improve a lot by taking shortcuts, but shortcuts almost always result in bad habits that are hard to break later.
