Regardless that sometimes you get insta-headshotted, the habit of a patient, good tap is needed. A few ways to avoid getting one-tapped: don't peek into an angle when that obviously not smurfing Jett has info that you are there. Stop taking fair fights. Flank, lurk, or use flash or stun abilities to avoid fair fights. There you go, now you will be headshotted 7/10 times instead of 9. Remember, slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

As they say, it is better to fail doing the right thing rather than succeeding doing the wrong things. This is the best way of learning without building bad habits

[lnrgg]

I like the way you exemplify the wrongs and rights, It's a relief to see my struggles finally being shown as a real and general problem. It's like going to the therapist with a feeling that you don't even know why or how it started, and then he explains to you what's probably going wrong.
Just found your channel, keep it up!

Everyone other aim guide I’ve watched says the same thing crosshair placement, strafing, movement blah blah blah but you have literally explained it and how to practice it I have no idea why all the big channels don’t explain this your heavily underrated defo sharing

[pingpong]

Bro i just found your Mannn you are so good at this job. Explaining things our way ...not like a pro ..who knows everything.

[roughchicken]

this channel is so good, explaining things really well and telling us things that other pros don’t tell us. keep up the work! :)

[TF_DragonSword]

Best channel for tips of Valorant, precise explain on the points he want to talk about. There are so many channels that upload 20-30 min videos over explaining every point, this is precise and easier to understand

[momomimi]

I have been watching val guides for weeks and this is the first actually helpful not repeatedly recycled piece of advice I heard so far. Thank you.

[kosu]

I have been playing csgo and valorant together over 5k hours and i have been just learned to aim. This still helps after all this time thank you.

[LonelyFuyu]

This totally changed the way I play. I thought my problem was the aim but now I hit my shots so much better, thanks a lot!!!

[floatbottle]

this video helped me climb to plat. He explains things really well and I am grateful to stumble across this video

[santmikel]

This is the best video I have seen so far for this topic. No bullshit but quick and also informative in depth at the same time. Also the exact perspective we needed.

Thanks a lot.

I hope I can get out of ascendant and finally hit immortal for the first time.

[klidatorlovesgaming]

Finally, someone who shows exactly what to do and how to do it instead of just making a statement and saying this will help

Thank you so much

[ModrnWarfare]

Omg bro, I've heard about movement but the examples in hookah and showers made it click. Instead of going for an insane flick while stationary, move your body until your aim is ready, that's so great. Thanks man 10/10 video.

[josaife]

Thx, that helped me a lot ! I was loosing all my fights because i always was one tapped while being static, now i'm loosing all my fights because i get one tapped while straffing ! Thx you for the tips !

[thatfox___]

Your channel is the best for guides, no BS, straight to point.

Something that helped me a ton is setting 'Network Buffering' to Maximum in settings. Before that, enemies would one-tap me like a nanosecond after I see them, even when they weren't holding the angle. My theory is that this happens because the server predicts your movements to lower ping players, allowing them to see you before you even peek. If you read the technical blog posts Riot puts out, this is how the server deals with players of different latencies, by predicting movement. This is also why sometimes you shoot enemies point blank but the bullets don't register any damage. Setting Network Buffering to maximum seems to give me a bit more time to kill enemies and have fairer fights. Keep in mind this only works if your ping is not too low or too high, (mine's around 50ms)

this was deadass most calm informatic useful video i have ever seen.. clean video too. Good job man. <3

[blacklusture]

This really helped, i grineded the DM untill i won exactly by following it - most importantly i had to remap my crouch which gave me huge boost and my crouching habit was a nail in foot

[snvkethejake]

As a new player, your crosshair placement and explanation made so much sense. Thank you!!
