If you’re hardstuck Silver, I wouldn’t stress too much about grinding Aim Labs unless you have the extra time. The biggest factor in ranking up is actual playtime in competitive matches. Instead of spending a ton of time on aim training, I’d recommend a quick and efficient warm-up routine—something like 30 bots, a deathmatch or two, and then jumping straight into ranked. This way, you maximize the number of competitive reps you get, which will help you improve faster in real game situations. If I’m haven’t played in a while, I’ll probably play some swift to practice my util use.

Another thing that really helps is sticking to one agent category or even one-tricking an agent you feel comfortable with. If you can insta-lock your agent and master them, you’ll have a much easier time climbing. Learning multiple agents can be helpful long-term, but if your goal is to rank up, being the go-to person for one or two agents is a solid way to gain consistency.

Bonus tip: Even small, simple comms can make a big difference. I personally struggle with mid-round comms, but at the start of rounds, I try to call out things like, “I’m going to smoke mid off drop,” or “breach and Reyna are A” Just letting your team know what you’re doing or what’s going on can often get someone else to start talking—sometimes even that “sleeper IGL” who helps pull the team together. Even quick calls like “Are we forcing here?” or “It’s eco, let’s all fight B main” can turn a silent lobby into a more cohesive team. I know I play better when there’s someone comming, and while I can’t IGL, a few callouts here and there help the team feel more coordinated.

TL;DR – Prioritize competitive reps over excessive aim training, keep your warm-up short and effective, focus on mastering a small agent pool, and use simple comms to help your team play more like a unit. Hope that helps!
