I’m in masters and my aim is bad. Anyone know any aiming drills for seriously training aiming? Should I just run aim maps in csgo?
Try these hard bots ana zen Lucio roadhog soldier 76 and McCree on 150% speed and for you headshots only do this for 15 30 minutes don’t do this with projectiles tho it makes you leed the shots too much. But before and after do this go in the practice range and get 4 sextuple kills with widow McCree Ana (with the scope shots)
I’ve seen some pros create private custom game lobbies. They make some Ana bots who can’t use any abilities or shoot, give them infinite health, and then go ham on them.
I recommend downloading aim hero and practicing on reflex mode medium difficulty. I always warm up on it before playing games, my rule of thumb is if I hit 50% accuracy or better for one round, I’m warmed up enough for comp. When I first started, it would take me like 30+ minutes of playing before I’d hit that.
Now it generally takes me like 10 minutes or less. And according to overbuff my weapon accuracy is in the 90+% percentile on most of the heroes I play (soldier, McCree, torb, zenyatta, reaper [I think?])
Also aim hero was recommended by Sayaplayer to train aim in one of the interviews he did and he has insane aim

I do the following preset and it’s gotten me good enough to play DPS in master now.
Map:
- King’s Row
Team 1 (You):
-
Cooldown times 0%
-
Health 500%
-
Damage taken 10%
-
Ultimate generation 500%
Team 2 (Bots):
-
Heroes: Ana, Zenyatta, Roadhog, Zarya, McCree, Soldier 76
-
Disable all abilities for these heroes individually (so no bio nade, discord orb, hook, etc)
-
Hero speed 100%-150% depending how comfortable you feel
Then just practice killing em as quickly as possible, increasing their speed as it becomes too easy. On top of that use Aim Hero/Osu for just general mouse control and FFA/QP for practicing on people.
Buy and alt acc, and play your mains in placements and play your mains too until you get to your real rank, then instalock widowmaker and leave voice

As mentioned something like Aim hero is pretty good. Here’s the theory, A lot of people will tell you the only way to practice is to play the game. somewhat that’s true, but for the most part it’s not required.
The concept of aim is simply down to hand eye co-ordination and muscle memory.
So first point is keep your sensitivity as similar as possible not only for all OW heroes, but in general for all games wherever possible.
2nd is hand-eye co-ordination, that is your eyes linking your brain and hand to move where your eyes want them too.
Sounds simple, but we actually have to learn the movements required in our wrist to achieve what we want to happen on screen.
For example go on paint, get the pen tool and use your mouse to try and draw a straight line.
We know how we want it to look, our eyes can visualise a straight line, yet when we try and do it, you end up with some wavy drunk looking line.
There is a specific movement required to get a straight line, and we have to learn what that movement is. The same goes for the general aiming concept.
So why Aim Hero for example and not in game? Because Aim hero allows a stress-free environment where you can consciously think only about your aim, stress free, not worried about abilities, cool downs, moving or dying.
If OW had an aim training program, i’d definitely recommend training within the exact game you’re trying to improve. But as it doesn’t have it, something like AIm Hero is the next best thing.
Lastly I can see you mostly play soldier, there are 2 types of training games, there’s one called lightning round, that may appeal most to you which is practising your tracking.
Lower your sens, download aim hero and practice it 10+ min a day, make sure you’re completely focused. I’ve found that my aim is a lot better when there are no distractions and I’m able to focus all my attention on the game.
Aim is something you get from playing the game for a time, whilst aiming effectively. There are rules to basic “good” aim.
- Look at what your amiing at, not at your crosshair or the floor. This is super important and if you’re not doing this start right now
- Aim in the way that feels comfortable. Don’t do lightspeed flicks like Pine if it feels weird.
The best way to actually practice aim is to play DM. Not only are you shooting at real players at all times (short respawns, constant action), but the situations are usually stressful as other players are shooting at you which makes it harder to aim. Aiming under stress is an important skill for clutch plays.
There is a difference with warm up and aim practice. You practice aim when you play against other real players (comp/death match).
Warm up is the act of getting your aiming arm and hand warm, so that you can aim at 100% of your current ability. Bots and aim hero are good for warm up. Don’t use Aim Hero for extended periods of as than you’ll get good at Aim Hero, not Overwatch.
I’m a t500 hitscan player and I have 56% acc 16%crit on Cree and 53% acc 30% crit Widow. I don’t remember my tracking hero stats, but they’re good to (I’m addicted to “aiming perfectly”, thus my game sens is not as good as it could be, at least I think I have lots to improve in that category).
Good luck with improving and remember that hard and effective work are what you need to succeed.

instalock hitscan wherever, whenever, however you want. when your rank is back to master then that means you improved
tips for faster progress: mute chat/voice.
I’m high plat and is making my progress to silver
Pick an aim hero.
Play a ton.
As a quick warm up you can spend a couple minutes shooting at training bots, but playing is the only true way of improving.
keep lowering your sensitivity until you realize you can track heads nicely
How i warm up is :
- pick a hero like mcree
- setup a custom game with 1 ana bot + 1 zen bot (they have weird hitboxes)
- max out the HP , lower the damage taken , disable their primary fire + abilities
- Just hit the head
