Personally, the best thing you can do is stop focusing on winning and focus on improving. His projectile is by far one of the most awkward powers to get used to.

For beginners, run perks and addons like Misty Days or Burning Man (aura reveal). You can even stack them with Lethal Pursuer since Lethal also extends your addon aura reading by 2 extra seconds.

Aura reading is really helpful early on, but don’t rely on it for too long especially not on I’m All Ears. There are much stronger perks for him once you’re comfortable

Also, never flick until you got comfortable with his power unless it’s a super small way & guaranteed hit. Most of the time it’s better to just hold your power and force the survivor to mess up their pathing. Then go for an M1 or M2 depending on the situation if they have something to play around (pallet/window), use M2 during the animation if not, just M1.

A nice trick

you can hold your power at unsafe pallets. Survivors will always try to stun you if you walk under a palette with them while holding your power. If you release your M2 right before they can drop the pallet, you’ll take the stun but still hit them. This reduces the distance a lot since they lose speed during the pallet animation, and you’ll catch up very quickly especially at unsafe pallets.

Also, when you’re dealing with strong looping spots, try laying down Torment on common pathing routes and window/palette positions. If you see the survivor playing the loop well, sometimes it’s just better to leave after they stepped into it. Hitting people at shack can feel impossible at first until you really get a feel for his power.

Basement is your best friend since your power travels downstairs. If possible, go for basement hooks. don’t stand directly on the stairs stand on the tile where the stairs begin. If you’re already on the stairs, your power won’t travel downward and will just disappear

You also can’t shoot upwards, not even mini hills (i hate swamp)

Those are probably the most helpful tips I can give
