So.. how to improve, as a noob?

I’ve no experience at all with first person shooters, the last I played was Quake III Arena around eighteen years ago. I was pretty good at that then! Buuut that was a long time ago.

Keep in mind things change in time. Sounds like we’re around the same age. Back around that time (18 years ago) my skills with shooting in fps was fantastic. I’d make twitch shots grabbing people behind me in an instant, snap between multiple targets in a fraction of a second (CS) dropping them all… As for 18 years later, that’s definitely not the case. Now I struggle to hit a mercy when she didn’t even know I was there, and gravitate to shooting tanks because they’re bigger .

Going on-line and looking up videos for putting together a training drill routine might help. Basically spending 10-15 minutes a day in the training area going through it helps build your skills. The problem with trying to get better by just playing game after game is that it’s all sporadic, there’s a difference between multiple intervals lasting 3 seconds than spending 3 minutes of practicing. Basically it would allow you to build on your skills faster.

Hope that helps.

Exactly! God I remember those days so well, I felt like actually nothing could stop me in Quake. How far I’ve fallen now

As I said earlier I have been using the training area lots since Ashe has been released, it’s difficult though because it’s really hard to tell if you’re actually improving or not… it’s not like there’s a ‘check mark’ like another game might have like a hard boss or something. I guess that’s just the nature of the game though!

I think I really will try and use this training area more, a few minutes a day to just sit down and practice can’t be a bad thing at all.
