Hello everyone!
I’m hoping to get some tips on how to get better faster. (If it’s possible)
As of now I…
-Study videos
-Have gotten tips/vod reviews from high-rank players
-Do aim practice 1-2 times a day for about 10-15 minutes [workshops to practice aim, tracking, combos etc [PMAJellies Aim Trainer V2]]
-Do paintball/aim arena games everyday
-Occasionally 1v1 with friends in custom games
-Have gotten a keybinding set up that I like
-Have gotten a sensitivity that works for me (still occasionally doing some micro tuning) [800DPI with a in-game sense of 5 (18scoped) - Ana main, gotta aim fast] - just providing info for overall-picture purposes- everyone’s different.
My problem is, is that I have a list of things I have to work on. Better positioning, making my combo muscle memory, increasing actions per min, good/clever anti-nades, better sleep dart usage, less jumping-more strafing…
I’m slowly improving on each of these things, but trying to work on all of them at the same time makes it hard to get better at the speed I would like.
-I started about 3 weeks ago and while I see improvement, it’s been a very slow process - even practicing everyday.
Should I keep trying to get better at all of them at once? Or should I focus on one particular thing at a time?
It’s kind of hard to focus on one particular thing because it’s all kind of situational depending on how the game is going.
Does anyone have any additional tips, things to practice, workshop codes that helped you practice?
Any tips don’t have to be Ana-specific, even though that is the character I’m focusing on.
You’re never going to master everything all at once. Focus on one thing at a time, and move to something else only if you get overly frustrated with it or you reach a level you’re happy with.
I put ~1000 hours into Vermintide 2, and I was mostly pretty terrible until I started setting personal missions for myself. The one that helped me the most was trying to get through an entire mission without taking any damage at all. It only took a few runs before I was doing it pretty reliably without focusing on it.
You can do similar things in overwatch. Just pick a single thing you want to work on, and focus on it until you’re satisfied with your performance or you get too frustrated to continue.
dont waste your time triharding at overwatch, the game is so participation medal friendly that you will just end up depressed that all the effort you put into improving can just be dismissed by some noob picking the latest broken hero and no effort curbstomping you.
I’m aware that I could go far, very fast by playing Moira but unfortunately I’m not interested in playing her. I have and she’s definitely OP - but I don’t find her that fun to play at this time.
Well that’s why I want to get better. To curb-stomp the curb-stompers
I do occasionally, but I find it doesn’t help me as much as the aim-workshops.
Thank you for providing some actual advice. I think, by practicing everything (aim/combos/darts/nades) during my warm up, it makes me unable to focus on practicing one particular thing during an actual match. I’ll try focusing on one particular thing per day and see if that shows any improvements.
1.Don’t waste your time on these modes and try “Kovaak’s fps aim trainer”.
2. Read “Aimer7s guide” and the other about mouvements and angles
3.Don’t follow the guides like a mindless bot and think by yourself.
4 You can’t work on everything AT THE SAME TIME
[PMAJellies Aim Trainer V2] is pretty much Kovaak’s fps aim trainer but made within overwatch. I will read the guide you mentioned though, thanks.
Eh, I watched the trailer for that and I’m not loving what I’ve seen enough to download. I’m just not liking the aesthetic/abilities I’ve seen.
Yea, I need to review my own stuff more often. I do sometimes now, but usually only when I’m confused as to why my team did so poorly. I’ve learned a lot just from that but I can usually tell what I’m doing wrong, but it’s hard for me to realize and then correct my actions in the moment. -Thus, why I’m training my muscle memory via aim trainers.
Archery master Awa Kenzo spent little time teaching his students how to deliberately aim and shoot. What Kenzo wanted students to do was to put the thought of hitting the target out of their minds.
He wanted them to detach even from the idea of an outcome. “The hits on the target,” [he would say] “are only the outward proof and confirmation of your purposelessness at its highest, of your egolessness, your self-abandonment, or whatever you like to call this state.”
You must learn how to let go and let the process take over.
(In other words, relax and don’t overthink, just play and get “in the zone”)
Also read the art of war, so many tips in it apply to fps
How did you find your sensitivity?
I’ll recommend the PSA method instead of copying streamers/pros. It helped me greatly. Search up PSA (ioStux had a video if you prefer) and there is a calculator, it will explain how to do it. Best way to find your sensitivity.
Yea I watch Jayne a lot too and learned the combo trick from ioStux. thx
For a while I tried a lot of different sensitivities - trying to mimic what people told me they use, what popular OWL players use, etc - finally I just said “you know, I hate all of this…My aim/gameplay is getting worse… I’m going to do this MY way - and sat in an aim-workshop for 2 hours figuring out what worked for me” It wasn’t until just now that I found out that ML7 might use something similar in the previous comment …
I just used that calculator you were talking about that goes with iostux video, it ended up giving me a 4.5 so I think i’ll try it out for a bit and see how it goes.
Like i mentioned before, I don’t enjoy playing moira. Just because I’m high rank by literally sucking the fun out of everything doesn’t mean I’m happy.
Yea, I’m a combination of both - mostly wrist though.
Yea I just warm up with aim-training and I’ve seen a lot of improvement since I started it. Cuz yea, computers aren’t enough to get good.
