Like you said, having your basics of good sleep, a healthy diet and hydration, daily exercise, sunlight, etc, is crucial. For me much of my journey in aim training and valorant has actually been outside the game in really getting my overall life in check through getting more greens, doing more cardio, taking my vitamins and supplements, getting other parts of my life in check to make time to aim train, etc. once I got other parts of my life in check my performance and rate of learning SKYROCKETED and I no longer felt like I was bashing my head against a wall trying to improve. For more direct aim training advice, I’ve been grinding both regular linetrace and various reactive tracking trainings and, although it took an adjust period because improving my straightness in linetrace practicly made me relearn how to flick, my consistency in hitting crazy flicks in valorant has been MASSIVELY improved and my average elo where I’m hovering around has gone up a good 70 points just through the consistency linetrace has given me.
I asked pro players how much they play this is what they said, (summarized) Just play the game for 10 hours daily for 1 year straight, and i haven't seen any radiant who plays like only 2-3hrs, they usually play5-8 hours daily minimum. And bonus tip - Try not to play on autopilot. And i have tried this, i played like 10 games daily and my crosshair placement, strafe was becoming more refined. like there were no extra useless moments.
being completely focused on crosshair placement and the round at hand in valorant helps with tapping into the subconscious mind because you have less time to think about your aim
When I smoke weed I go into a chill flow state like so calm that I’m actually not even missing shots but soon as there’s toxic people it just kills it like just ruins the vibe that’s why I don’t talk a lot when gaming
Amazing video as always you're videos really helped me break my plateu's would be amazing if you could possibly make a video about controller aiming as no one on TH-cam really has, thanks
Hi West, I have a question. When you say not to think too much, what exactly do you mean? Because it's true that to get into a flow state it's necessary to "let go" and prevent our will from taking over, however, in a complex game like Valorant it's also necessary to think about the various strategies, the position and way of playing of the opponents, the abilities that have been used and those still available, coordinated actions, how to proceed and much more. If you are a professional player all of this may be instinctive and immediate, but if you are not it's necessary to think about all of this continuously. Doesn't this overthinking, however, contradict the initial goal of getting into a flow state? I hope the question makes sense and thank you.
I think being aware of the situation and worrying about unecessary things that you already do subconciously are two different things, even decisisions you commonly make about positioning become unconcious if you get used to doing every time, like something you always do at the start of the round , if you properly focus on the info you have and such and bump into a unexpected situation you will naturally be unconfortable and try to solve it anyways, thats why decision habits exist in the first place, like being so used to play agressive and do so in disadvantageous situations even if you 10 seconds later realise that was a bad idea and why did you do this, it happens because maybe you always did it on a lower skill level or against the same type of players and it worked not because it was a good play but because nobody could predict and counterplay, this is a entirely different problem because what needs to be fixed is the way of thinking, for example just doing something only because it worked not because you understand why it will probably work based on the info and feedback you have from studying and thinking outside matches, after you learn what usually happens, possible scenarios and possible reactions to make it will bring you closer to flow when actually playing. And if you think about it, decision making is not too different from aiming and moving, what differs is the amount of info you brain has to understand and react accordingly, per example if you see somebody, most of the times you have to predict his and your movement, aim and shoot, which is also a decision you are making, unconcious or not , i am not a pro coach and might be wrong about this but i hope it helped. Its like worrying about a test when you can't do anything to prepare anymore for, when you should trust what skills and knowledge you already have and just do it.
Your aim dont think bout it TOO MUCH aim train and think how you play the rounds, outplay enemies think what can happen in the next round, how you died, how you won! Bcz truely there are nutty aimers who can get put down just by there mental Focus on the game.
@@supdude4002 Thank you for your response. Would it be correct then to say that for an experienced player to enter a flow state is much easier than for an average player? (For whom perhaps it is not possible, or if possible anyway not optimal, due to the many things he doesn't know)
@@itsendah I would agree as being ignorant is bliss, but just not caring whether you die or lose the game, and not focusing on trying to hit shots, just letting it happen naturally, for example when you're playing gridshot, you don't think to aim, you just do it, try to apply the same to val.
A question about the mouse, at least with Razer about the takeoff and landing of the sensor, what better to have it low than to have to practically put the mouse on the pad or have it high so that one can continue without practically raising their hand? i got it high and at least in razer is recommended or not favor use the asymetric cut off
“If you reach the end of the mousepad, that usually means you are in middle of tracking something. So obviously, you should pick up the mouse and put it back on the center as fast as possible. That’s when LOD (Lift-off distance) becomes a factor. If you are playing with a high LOD, the crosshair/cursor might move even after you’ve picked up your mouse. That will definitely throw your aim off. And that’s why a low LOD is better for FPS players. If you’re not gaming, high LOD shouldn’t really matter because you wouldn’t be rushing to put the mouse back down.”
Idk anyone who plays well and only uses one sens. I’m not saying those people don’t exist, they’re just rare. Most people can perform on a wide variety of sensitivities.

as usual super high quality video. keep it up
being completely focused on crosshair placement and the round at hand in valorant helps with tapping into the subconscious mind because you have less time to think about your aim
consistency:
*sleep 2-3 hours a day
*drink more coke
*don't out of my chairs for hours
i got you
I just love that to become a better player, I just have to touch grass.
06:56 I felt like Gohan hearing Android 16 telling him to let go, so he can beat Cell ( Ok, I'm sorry, I had to say it, not a good one I know )
Really helpful, thanks !

I really don’t know much abt controllers tbh
Water is my one wild card. I chug it when I’m upset at my performance, but other than that I’m trained to be a camel
Don’t do that or you’ll always do bad

Good stuff

Basically first get a healthy irl routine 💀
are cryo kovaak playlist good? or should i change some task? i do 2 time on every task but some times i finished
I remember it being mid but don’t remember much abt it. I got a video from august with a yellow thumbnail that might give you a better routine

Is it possible to get consistent good aim even if you switch sensitivity between 2 different senses/dpi?
Idk anyone who plays well and only uses one sens. I’m not saying those people don’t exist, they’re just rare. Most people can perform on a wide variety of sensitivities.
i thought it was u playing i was gonna say
Lol
@@WestProter i was like: ur movement was so good but ur aim was so sh-
you listen to MiW ok ok I see youre a man of taste
I listen to most artists tbh
Miw 🔥🔥
Do you also teach csgo players?
Bro exercises but doesn't drink water???? Bro dehydrating himself 😭
What are your thoughts on "3d aim trainer"
It’s impossible to get the highest rank because the flicking scens have a max score, so I hate the game
@@WestProter o ok im only asking because i dont want to bye kovaks aim trainer so i tried this one
How can i get you to hop in a discord with me to perfect my aim better? Im willing to pay if need be
this is like being at GP looooooooooooooool
