Ive recently been really into aim training and climbed from vt unranked to gold complete-plat over the course of the last few months. My aim was really atrocious in most games before i started aim training.
In that time, ive primarily been playing valorant. I do feel more comfortable with some aspects of the gunplay but not nearly as much as i thought i would considering how much better the mouse feels in my hand. It had me thinking “is aim training a waste of time?”, like while i do enjoy grinding kovaaks, i do want to play other shooters and get mechanically better at them. I know that raw mouse control is only a small factor of many shooters and to get better at a game you need to play THAT game. But i felt like it just wasnt giving me the feeling that what i was doing was worth it.
But that changed when i started playing some more shooters besides valorant. I played the finals, xdefiant, and spectre divide with my homies lately and saw so much improvement compared to when i didnt aim train. I’m one clipping in the finals, getting multi frags in xdefiant, and i even feel better in single player games like cyberpunk which i used to play on controller.
I dunno, i guess my point is that if you primarily play valorant (maybe cs too, not sure) and have made major strides in your aim training and are still disappointed in your valorant specific results, try some other shooters out. It felt nice to be able to actually track people or do 180s and not have to run the exact same sens in every game to feel even a modicum of comfort, i can run a decently fast sens in xdefiant and the finals, and a slower one in valorant and spectre divide and perform with the same level of confidence. Its nice to see that improvement and pay off and i feel a lot more confident in the results my training is giving/ gave overall.
