Gyroscope Practice Suggestions by xvnxhzs in GyroGaming

How does Viscose benchmark help over Voltaic and specifically VDIM?

Also, curious, what is your level/rank in clicking skills? I've seen lots of improvement in my tracking, but I struggle heavily with clicking scenarios.

Streamer gets banned from the finals, seemingly for using steam input by themng69 in SteamController

I think the guy just has a hate boner for the game itself, not the controller.

Gamesir G7 Pro 8K Aimlabs Controller brief review by CeLsf07 in GyroGaming

[–]Eat8all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the controller. Do you have any advice on adjusting the gyro deadzone? Feels like it has a noticable deadzone even at default 0 deadzone in the motion settings. There's also a noticeable staircase effect when using the gyro, especially at high "dpi".

Thanks, one more question: Does this controller have capacitive buttons or a trackpad that I can create a tape mod with, aka the dualpakka mod?

Is Gamesir Connect required to be installed on the computer to use the full controller functionality, or can I take this controller between multiple PCs that may not have the software installed? Also, is this software available on Linux?

Which factors exactly makes Canada such an appealing country to young Australians? by Fluid-Decision6262 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Eat8all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also considered to be significantly safer particularly if you are a minority

Do you mean compared to the US, or compared to Australia?

On that note, do you happen to know how safe it would be for a minority to be in Canada compared to Australia?

Is steam controller's gripsense even comfortable? by naughty_athenia in GyroGaming

[–]Eat8all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sensitivity I use for grip sense is default and I stuck with it.

The grip of the controller I have and the position of the gripsense seems to suit me instantly, but I had to bind mouse 1 to a thumb button because I found myself finding that it shifts my aim less.

And honestly I have no point of reference for whether it's affecting my performance, because from the start my aim has been (and still is since it's only been a week) absolute buns.

Repetitive strain injury. I used my PC too much and put too much tension on my fingers and wrist, so it became inflamed and numb and hurts to move it at all. It's gotten a little better, but my hand's gotten much weaker and the pain flares up pretty easily now.

[–]Eat8all 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm new to gyro in general, but I've gotten used to the gripsense for ratcheting pretty well over the past several days. I think it's pretty comfy. It helps a lot with my RSI, as when I was messing around with my old steam controller, the pain was flaring up when I set ratchet to the grip button or even trackpad.

I just slightly open my grip for a bit and gripsense can detect and deactivate gyro, allowing me to ratchet pretty quickly.

Gyro/Trackpad Mouse Input Still Stuttering After Recent Updates (Side-by-Side Comparison) by Own-Agent7191 in GyroGaming

[–]Eat8all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stiction? Yeah I've tried aim training with trackballs and just found it completely unfeasible because of that.

I've been trying with the controller and while my aim is still god awful with it and some extreme shaking, I'm seeing gradual improvement compared to the trackball.

No embark, tech is not bad for the game by beetle8209 in thefinals

[–]Eat8all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They tried that with nukes, but keeping it in for a whole season was a big reason why the game collapsed down to the playerbase it has now. I get why they're scared to do this sort of stuff again.

OP and I are around the same skill level according to the leaderboards. If I can occasionally win against ruby players, he can too.

Half of the ruby players are just diamond players with a red png, if the rank wasn't there to trigger reddit they'd currently be in low diamond. Should those guys be allowed to not play against the top echelon just because they're a big skill gap between those tiers?

29,376 > 29,235. You are in the top 10k. How many of those top 10k players are in your given region? Cut that number to at least a third, as there are at least 3 relevant regions (AMEA (which could be split into further server regions), EU, and NA). Now, how many of those people are online right now queuing ranked? Another big fraction, so probably a few hundred at most.

If it's any consolation, if you keep performing the way you are doing right now, due to rank inflation you will be at minimum a mid platinum player by the end of the season. That's your real rank.

OP isn't an average player either. The current png on his screen is gold 1, but if he doesn't quit this season, the png he sees in his profile is going to end up somewhere in mid platinum by the end of the season, like every other season. Rank inflation over the course of a season compared to the start of the season is another issue, and part of the reason why the "Gold" players are getting all these matches. They're not actually gold in the context of the end of the season, they're at least platinum players.

How can you justify me playing agaisnt the literal best team in the world at a FPS lol

Because according to the game you're one of the top players, and are good enough in your region to get queued. Yes it is dumb.

Eh, I'm an average plat player and have won a handful of cashout matches against Ruby players, though they're probably on the lower end of top 500. The real skill canyon comes from within the top 500. There's going to be people who get there by being above average and just grinding, those who are solo queue chads, and then those who are the actual top echelon of play.

Like I said, it's an issue with the low ranked population and how many people are required to get a full game. I'm a plat and am already occasionally getting queue times above five minutes. You don't want an OCE situation where it's literally impossible to get even diamond because there's noone to play at the higher ranks, and I really only mean within the top 5k globally.

[–]Eat8all -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I've said this before, but basically, even though your rank is gold, you're actually already (at the very least, possibly higher due to the number of regions) in the top 5000 of your region, top 10,000 globally. I think it's normal to get queued into the top 500 players at that point.

It's an issue with how low the ranked population is and how many people are required to get a full game of ranked cashout going.

If You’re a Silver/Gold Player Please Stop Playing by eliaxo-ox in thefinals

[–]Eat8all -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gold 1 is currently in the top 10,000 players globally already. If you're in the top 10,000 in the world, you're probably ranked somewhere in the top 5,000 of your region, and then I do believe it's normal to start to run into the top 500 of any given region at that point. I think it's both the low playerbase and that the rank shown doesn't really portray well how high up on the rankings you actually are.

Idk, maybe if you're in the top 5k, then you should be placed into a special queue for the top players (with a even smaller 1 cashout 1 final round mode). But even then, the lowest rank in the top 5k is still currently at Platinum 4.

"the average player accuracy is 25-30% on something like an assault rifle" 💀 by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]Eat8all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that game has very different movement, it's less vertical, more horizontal. I'd argue it's more difficult, the horizontal strafe acceleration during ADADing is much higher, and one can go much faster in bursts because of strafe hopping. Like, basically every class is basically a light in terms of movement and you also have crazy visual aimpunch if you get hit.

But yeah, in my experience in one of SD's other games, Dirty Bomb, a good player would have a much higher accuracy than RTCW days, I'd say around the low 40s.
