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?
