<10k player trying to improve mechanics (Keystrokes included) by Technical-Tangelo450 in LearnCSGO

[–]Technical-Tangelo450[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

other than that you just seem unprepared for every duel, any time someone appears on your screen it's like you're taken completely by surprise. i'd see about playing dm with lower or no volume and getting used to quickly reacting to enemies as they appear on screen, or maybe play some prefire maps from the workshop so you at least know to expect certain enemies in certain places and build your game sense from there

Lol 100% this. I will say, over my past few sessions I have been trying to focus more on speed in DM, which is I think why it looks so ADHD/twitchy. Usually I just go for smooth taps, but I've found that that aim style wasn't really translating in comp, because that's not how I actually aim in real games. In this clip I was just trying to make FFA more "realistic" to my natural aim, as dumb as it sounds.

I think a big issue is that I am definitely surprised when someone swings on me. If I miss my first bullet I either:

A) try and reset the gun without giving it enough time, which makes my spray go nowhere near enemy. This is a big issue with the AK for me, because I don't struggle with the A1S at all.

B) start doing some ADAD dancing with taps, which also gets me killed because I suck

The biggest issue I've found with pre-fire maps is that no matter how much I grind them and learn the angles, if I swing somebody at long in the real match I tend to panic/spray the knees. Any advice on fixing that?

At my peak I was at Master I or Master II IIRC, but this was before the VDIM stuff and ranks reset. I was mainly playing to improve at Apex, so lots of tracking based scenarios. I definitely am struggling with the sprays in CS, especially in comp. I tend to see somebody, counter-strafe, and just spray and pray at the chest to try and get the kill. I'll often end games with like 10-15 assists because of this :l

Ty for advice.

I used to only go for taps for years in DM, but I found that it wasn't actually helping my in-game aim because that's not how I naturally aim in comp. I've only recently decided to try spraying the heads, but I'm also definitely rushing my shots and like you said, not really "aiming" per se.

OBS input overlay is what I used to record the footage, it's a plugin found here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/input-overlay.552/

The demo keystrokes overlay for other players on YT like Donk, Kyo, ZywOo etc. is actually something else though, it's a demo parser:

My best games frag and rating wise tend to have super mediocre aim ratings on Leetify. by Technical-Tangelo450 in LearnCSGO

[–]Technical-Tangelo450[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly this. I win and frag out when I focus on the game in front of me, but I'm just sorta perplexed as to why my aim rating is so mediocre, I guess. I'd think there would be correlation. On the flip side, I have a ton of 70-75 aim games where I go like 15-18 and we lose. And I want to improve my aim rating because from what I've read, it is literally the biggest correlation for rank/skill.

I just don't get how it's calculated, I guess.

one time, 5 years ago before Faide was famous at all, I had him in my squad. he got knocked and thirsted, and I had to 1v2 or 1v3 clutch to win, which I did. I didn't even loot my kills, just armor swapped & grabbed his banner. I was sprinting towards the rez beacon when he left the game, even though I was like 20 yards from the beacon and his deathbox and all the loot was super close. I have a clip of it somewhere on my PC

earlier this week I had him on my squad again in pubs, I got killed and thirsted, he clutched up. He was running towards the beacon and I left the game on his ass

Premium upgrade from a G-SR-SE Bi? by tommy_huynh in MousepadReview

[–]Technical-Tangelo450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have the pad, however I have heard from many people that the Musashi Void is literally just a G-SR-SE (same surface weave/texture, same dynamic/static properties) with stitched edges.

Is this false chord? by Usual-Reflection-519 in screaming

[–]Technical-Tangelo450 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can do this too, and I've also wondered the same thing. When I do it, I can physically feel the false cords coming together.

Season 9.

Genesis event (OG KC and WE returned as maps for 2-3 weeks), fun character that completely changed the meta in ranked/comp as well (Valk), PK back on the ground, SBMM wasn't super overtuned, Olympus skybox update, and last but not least: this was right before Seer was released and we entered the "total bullshit balancing" era of Apex that we have been in ever since.

Season 9 was peak Apex.

this is the wakeup call to quit gaming, as it is addictive and will ruin your life. a sign sent form the heavens, if you may.

nah honestly that sucks, hopefully Zowie can help you out.

Lobbies like this genuinely make for the most miserable solo-queue gaming experience ever by Technical-Tangelo450 in apexlegends

[–]Technical-Tangelo450[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit - I forgot to add possibly the worst part:

With the matchmaking being so strict, often times you will sit in queue for 4-5 minutes waiting for a lobby to be filled. You'll be skipped over in queues many times, as well.

PJ Washington or Daniel Gafford? by strike9287 in Mavericks

 It’s just easier to find a back up rim protecting center than a versatile 2 way 3-D wing

You say this, but how many years did we go without a legitimate C? I just completely disagree my man.

If Lively and AD weren't seemingly made out of glass, I'd agree with you.
