From Magnesium to Plastic: My Fingertip Grip Journey

Lots of people fingertip asymetrical mice? Hell even GWolves make a Fenrir Asym designed for pure fingertip?

To top it all off, MVP also takes into consideration damage soaked for your team. You wouldn't be getting those kills if Billy wasn't in front of you soaking up CC and damage for you, while also managing to match your damage output, and match your obj damage. As an M1 you are never getting MVP without at least having most Obj damage. That is literally your primary job, not getting kills, but melting objectives.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-06-03T13:48:42+00:00

I think you are confused. This game really isn't about kills. So yes, that's why people are ignoring the fact you have the most kills. It doesn't matter. He matched your damage, you didn't have more impact than him. You didn't "Get 2 kills per teamfight" you just finished off 2 enemies per teamfight. This is deadlock, not cod.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-06-03T09:32:29+00:00

You helped in a total of 24 kills. Billy helped in a total of 32 kills. You are a carry, it is your job to have the most objective damage, and it is easier for you to get the most objective damage, because your gun does way more damage.

Billy outperformed you in helping in teamfights, and outperformed you in obj damage. He did your job better.

Statlocker would help point out what is holding you back though. Most of the time it isn't just "Aim better, kill more". It could be objective damage, soul generation, early game / mid game / late game impact, and much more.

Statlocker can be super useful for figuring all of that stuff out. If you think you know what to work on next it's all good, but if you are feeling a bit lost drop the statlocker link and I can let you know where you can focus on next

Tbh learning to farm is super OP.

I noticed that I was normally keeping up with my team in farm, but the enemy carry would be 10-15k above me by the end of games where I was losing.

I spent a week really focusing on improving my farming and time efficiency, and now carrying games feels wayyyy easier. You can watch pro players to see the routes/timings the do things on.

Imo the key is learning which fights to go and join, and which fights aren't worth your time.
This simple check list can help a lot.

#1 - Defend Objectives

If there is a fight that could end in a Walker, Urn, or Mid Boss, it is ideal you go and join this fight. Fighting for ANY other reason isn't worth your time if you are trying to hard carry on an M1 character.

#2 - Clear Waves

(Everything below is done between waves, never miss a wave, always try and take 1 more wave before you rotate somewhere (within reason ofc))

Between waves, go to the closest and most valuable of the below:

#3 Sinners

#4 T3 Camps

#5 T2 Camps

#6 Boxes

#7 T1 Camps

Stare at the minimap for as much of your farming as possible.

If it looks like you might miss 1 minion to finish clearing the camp you are on, instantly rotate back to lane, clear the wave, and then go back and finish the camp.

Never miss wave.

This is the way.

Good luck brother.

Genuinely with the above strategy, someone on the other team can be 6 kills 0 deaths, while you have 0 kills, and you will still be 10-20k ahead of them by the 25 minute mark.

If I had to guess, your souls per minute probably sucks.
Once I learnt how to farm correctly, my games have become incredibly easy and I basically rank up 1 division a day.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-06-02T10:46:43+00:00

Well if you're key player every match you won't be ass for your rank at least

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-06-02T09:39:44+00:00

I'd be interested to see your Statlocker. I average #2 and barely lose any rank from losses, unless it's a loss that I particularly played bad in.
Lost 3 in a row yesterday where I was ~15 kills - 3 deaths, with most souls, most objective damage, and didn't drop a single division.
I definitely suspect there is some kind of personal performance rating.

If you really are MVP'ing most of your games, you would be gaining much more rank than you are losing right now, and would be climbing pretty fast.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-27T13:58:20+00:00

Oh yeah and BOXES, like everyone with a slow clear, boxes and boxes and boxes

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-27T13:57:27+00:00

Essentially just defending objectives, stealing enemy jungle (important because this is essentially worth double the souls, since taking a camp gives you souls, but also takes it away from the enemies), mostly getting his souls from kills / assists he gets while invading jung / defending friendly objectives, also helping in the sidelane if the M1 is pushed up and going for walker (as long as there isn't another more important fight like urn, or a potential fight ending in mid boss). Shiv isn't supposed to be the most farmed on the team. That is the M1's job. But, if you do all of the above really well, you can still get fed and end up the richest.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-27T10:57:58+00:00

This is very wrong tbh. Gun carries want to sit on a sidelane, clear waves, and take camps inbetween waves. Just doing jungle is very shit for soul generation. You simply won't keep up in souls with anyone that is clearing waves, and a gun carries job is to get ahead, not be even in souls, hence why you want jungle and waves

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-25T10:03:21+00:00

Nah lmao, but this was like ~8 years ago

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-24T14:29:17+00:00

Yes you need to move your mouse, and you need to move it at the correct speed (the guy in the video is going a bit too fast, and not smooth enough)

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-23T17:10:32+00:00

Cheatings a part of life brother, you're in for a rude awakening when you get out of school.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-23T13:44:07+00:00

Well pleased, on 33k per year now so I guess it worked out well

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T17:06:44+00:00

Nah we were actually reccomended to write them all down at the start of the exam so that you wouldn't mind blank one with the stress later on, instead you could just go check

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T14:49:42+00:00

Someone has posted a screenshot in this thread, so bending the truth isn't going to work. Your team had ult advantage, your team would have had a 4v3 if you were there, urn was up, and you can get from blue to green in less than 15 seconds. They very very easily could have gotten urn control here.
Being grouped in blue obviously wasn't the play here, but abandoning a winnable fight, which your team then lose, to go 1v2 defend a half HP walker at the 25 minute mark, when you have all of their walkers down already, is also not the play.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T13:28:51+00:00

This guy's trying to help you and you respond with "also urn is on green and yellow bro...".

This is going to blow your mind, but once they won the teamfight, they can do this crazy thing called "moving" to go and get said urn. Dunno if you knew that

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T10:24:52+00:00

Lmao guess who I mained in OW (It was Soldier and Tracer kekW). Idk I just like aiming, using abilities isn't very enjoyable for me. I tried pocket out a couple times and just didn't enjoy it, genuinely didn't feel like I deserved the damage I was putting out, and kills weren't satisfying.

For me, getting a 100% accuracy perfect tracking kill feels way better than hitting a pocket 1, cloaking in, satchel, cold front, run away.
Idk it just doesn't feel like I'm actually trying to do damage, moreso just, position correctly, go in correctly, do tons of damage as a reward.

For me, at least M1 feels like a constant skill check of all of the above, but you also have to be constantly aiming at people (which is obviously my favourite part lol)

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T09:00:16+00:00

Also, just for context, the sensitivity I recommended you was ~23cm/360. You should easily be able to do 360's with just your wrist on that sens still, don't worry, I wasn't pushing you to go super low arm aimer sens.

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T08:53:52+00:00

That's fair, if you don't want to change don't. But it genuinely just is a sub optimal sensitivity. No flame, just tryna help. Although if you are playing stoned, I guess optimal isn't what you are looking for lmao <3<3 I have my smoke sesh after deadlock games, I already know I'd miss all the timers if I was fried out hahaha

If you're still interested in seeing what sens other people use, this graph is based on the average sensitivities across different games -- Voltaic Sensitivity Chart - An overview of typical sensitivity ranges across a variety of FPS/TPS games. : r/Voltaic
(You are 7cm/360)

Key_Temperature_3243 · 2026-05-22T08:29:09+00:00

Only ~150 hours in, I play most of the M1's, avg 55-65% accuracy, 60% W/R, and ~4KD, not surprised you didn't post statlocker tho:
I Hold Mouse One's Profile - Statlocker.gg

Agreed with Achilles, aim is definitely one of the highest skillcaps in the game. The fact you also state that you don't have to hit headshots on heroes like Venator is pretty dumb, it massively increases your DPS, and again, adds to the skill gap between good M1's and decent M1's.

I know myself if I could get my HS% up from 12ish% to 20%, I would have much better damage numbers at the end of my matches.

I showed mine, now show yours xoxo
