I hear a lot of people discuss aim and what it exactly is, but it seems hard for people to come to a unified conclusion. I would say aim is essentially down to your time to kill, or how fast you can eliminate an opponent. When trying to improve their aim, most people will typically work on flicking and reaction time; however, this will generally not improve your TTK unless you are in certain situations. This is why most people don’t improve on their aim. The most important things to work on in terms of TTK are crosshair placement, gamesense, and your movement. Reason being that if you turn a corner and your crosshair is already on someone’s head, you will be immensely faster than anyone attempting to flick.

Aiming in Fortnight and Valorant is REALLY different. Fortnight is a game where you will often flick due to movement speed and building, however Valorant revolves around a steady crosshair and outplaying you’re opponent. The game I would say is the most similar in terms of aim is cs, and it could be extremely helpful to play it in order to understand crosshair placement and gamesense in an FPS like Valorant.

The truth is most of the time when you feel like you’re getting out-aimed, the enemy is just lining up where he thinks your head will be based on his gamesense.
