Valorant 11: Getting Back From Being Washed
I’m doing REALLY badly with Valorant. Some observations:
Good Things
- Movement is actually REALLY good
- Aim is not bad
- Gamesense OK
What I Need To Work On
- Stop having the bad habit of moving TOWARDS the enemy. Try to keep strafing. More so in game, but also in deathmatch.
- Movement is good, but move in the way to isolate angles, don’t try to peek too hard.
- When aiming, need to have a smoother crosshair, don’t let the movement throw off crosshair
- Need to work more on “catching the kills” and timing
- Catching kills is mostly trying to hold angles, need to feel the swing (either wide or close)
- Need to feel the timing of how soon and quickly to peek back out after missing
- Use movement to adjust aim
- Spray through and feel out the preaim (feel out where they are)
- Can improve movement by using the crouch/crouch peek more often
Overall, I think I’m not doing as badly as I think I am. Just need to slow down the frantic movement to have steadier crosshair movement. I need to hold angles more, and only peak when I feel like I can snap onto a head (catching the aim).
Like in my aiming exercise, I should only hold angles, until the aim comes alive for me.
The biggest downfall I see multiple times is using movement to get closer when I can just hold the angle from far away. My aim is actually really good, just don’t give it any room to shine.
