1w6t Practice Drill

-

 I feel that in many of my practice(s), I often work on speed and not enough on technique. 

Lots of wasted movements in the flick. 
This drill below is specifically for isolating the movements, in order to have the smoothest and most efficient aim. 

Efficient = shortest path to target. AKA, straightest line. 
No micro-corrections (are ideal). Just smooth to target, smooth to click and confirm.

This, done, quickly, ends up being a proper flick. 


1) Slow. 
Work on straight lines; focus on slowing down before target. 
Try not to overshoot. Confirm kill before click.

2) Slow.
After straight line drill, work on click-timing so that you can click w/o slowing down. 
If the overall movement needs to be slow, it's fine. But make it one smooth motion to click.

3) Slow.
Combined straight lines + click timing.

Build up speed from here.

//
IF:
A) You begin to overshoot or are not going in straight lines
Repeat step 1

B) You are straight ahead and on the mark but can't get timing down
Repeat step 1, then 2. 

//
GOAL: Ramp up the speed in which you can lock onto a target (lowest time to flick to target) and smoothly hit target. Hence, "flick".

Frustrated

 In recent days, I feel like I've been doing very poorly in terms of my personal shooting mechanics.  I can't seem to really wrap my head around it.  Although I know that raw shooting isn't everything, my performance is bothering me due to the fact that even in DM, I am quite nearly bot fragging on every match. I know that I could do better.  Although I tried adjusting my sens (and a laundry list of other things), I know that it has to do with my actual gameplay. So I'm trying to narrow down on a list of possible improvements.  -Crosshair placement: I know that I should maintain head height at all times. Perhaps drilling this idea (of having head height even on knife) can be beneficial  -Timing / movement of peeks: Right now, I'm not really "peeking" but rather reacting to what's being thrown at me. When I see someone like Tayco play, I notice that (A) he isn't "out to get" people (but that the people seem to "come to him"), (B)...

Raw Accel for 1 Month: Review

-
 sens: 0.105 @ 1600 DPI Raw Accel has been quite an interesting journey.  For the most part, this has allowed me to play @ a much lower sensitivity than I usually play at.  On the other hand, I've also noticed that I tend to overflick my targets due to the rapid accel that is applied whenever I move my mouse too quickly.  After watching a video from Viscose, I think that it's about time that I try and spend some time off of Raw Accel - and to simply work on fine tuning my mechanics without this additional boost.  Trying to find a consistent sens will be my next challenge. I believe that my eDPI prior to raw accel was around 287.. which is quite drastic when compared against my 168 eDPI that I've been using.

2025 - Updates!

-
 Phew! I haven't updated this blog in a while. There has been quite a number of changes since I've last written on here. To start, here are my current sens:  0.13 @ 2400 DPI ( 312 eDPI) As for warmups and aim training has been going, I've spent significantly less time on KovaaKs and have been pouring in more time in the Range. The reason is simply due to the fact that I'm trying to master the art of deadzoning-which requires movement to do.  But on Kovaaks, I've been narrowing down my scenarios to just a handful: Gridshot Ultimate: General Practice. Not necessarily for any translation into Valorant. I simply work on flicking quickly but also getting a feel for how far my mouse moves with each flick.  Microshot (Any Scenario): I work on micro shots where the targets are much smaller. This is where I focus on maintaining a smooth line from target to target, all the while making sure to get a hit confirmation prior to clicking. Smooth Tracking: This is lesser in terms ...
