Really excited to start making these videos and carry on a journey & dialogue together of playing to improve. This is as much about me improving and keeping good habits as it may be for you! Thanks
You're my controller champion. I've been itching for more controller based tips - bonus points for tips that do not use a paddle controller. I'm super gun-shy with those due to cost / horror stories.
I’m really looking forward to this series for a few reasons. You just blew my mind about the left stick input. That really explains a lot of the inconsistencies I’ve been experiencing, and I never knew that was a thing. Can’t wait for the next video in the series.
Came here to literally explain how that came from the legendary Ogre twins but it seems I've been beaten to it. I too still have this habit to this day.
"I'm really bad at talking while playing." - *Proceeds to do a phenomenal job of talking while playing. Seriously it was really clear and informative. One of your best videos IMO. Looking forward to more!
He’s probably better when not talking. I’ve done some commentary and it does take the gameplay down. Yes he’s really good while commentating but he’s probably much better without it. I’ve seen him play silent, it’s kinda scary when he sweats.
Yeah, you got, like, Drewsky and maybe Coolguy? And a few others that I know of probably, I forget. It's always nice to get advice and examples that actually apply for me.
A lot of these sorts of guides end up amounting to not much more than "practice", which is good advice, but it's good advice I already knew. Somehow, in all my 7ish years of playing destiny, I never actively noticed that behavior with the reticle friction. That's actually really helpful. (I imagine I had it subconsciously, but that's bad for practice. Can't practice what you don't even realize you're doing.) I don't usually follow these sorts of guides, but I'm impressed so far.
For me I just see people as ads. I always choke when I see another guardian. But if I imagine them as a Dreg, then I subconsciously do a little better. Plus I practice my aim in strikes.
Thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out why sometimes it felt like the game aimed for me and other times I couldn’t land a shot. You made me realize that the more focused I was on landing a shot the less likely I was to move. I’ve always been terrible with snipers and average a 1.5 kd but after this video I dropped a 7.0 and added 10 kills to my sniper’s tracker in a single match!
@Drewskys Channel - DUDE...I have played FPS since Halo CE days and competitively as well and I never took the time to realize it was left joystick that creates aim friction!?! Love your vids and this is another great one for the books my friend - well done!
Cool, but really you dont need a guide video🤣 All you need is a friend group of people better than you. I was a atleast fabled player and then got legend. The only way to find people is to invest a shit load of time
I’m coming back to this video 3 days later. And Jesus Christ. I don’t know if is only me, but I just feel like I didn’t know how to play this game FOR 7 years. I’m maybe above the average in crucible, after try this I got several triple kills EVERY GAME. Much love to you guys. Thank you for real
this is good advice for mnk players as well. different method of input, similar concept. place your crosshair where you think the enemy will be and make a small adjustment from there.
I’m excited for a more detailed description on how to use your abilities because my friends and sometimes I even struggle with using them at the right times
Thanks Drew, your humility is rare and much welcomed in this youtube/twitch landscape. D1 was my first FPS and I had no idea how reticle friction worked. Moreover, I was too dependent on right stick corrections. Since watching your vid (originally not signed into google, but had to re-visit for comment and thumbs up), I’ve been practicing and have seen tangible results: Most notably, my stick sensitivity has increased from a 4 to a 7 because I’ve been less dependent on the right stick for maintaining my target. This had an unanticipated benefit to my shotgun play. I’m looking forward to more of your vids; keep up the great work!
I’ve been playing this game for awhile now and somehow I never knew about the left stick movement activating reticle stickiness. I’m a bit rusty after taking a break and after losing a bunch of duels that I would have won not that long ago I realized I haven’t been strafing/moving the left stick consistently as my brain was focusing so much on aiming the right stick. I just assumed my lack of incredible juking was the reason for my recent pathetic play, but now I know it’s so much more than that. Thank you for doing this series, man.
It’s crazy how many don’t know the centering impact on gameplay, I used to be intimidated by good players so I practiced like crazy to flick faster and be an aimbot with my shots but I kept losing my 1v1s against the best and when I realized that it’s not my aim but my setup with centering it changed my gameplay like crazy
holy jesus, a guide that is not pc oriented. In all genuineness, I find this to be a well informed video on aiming better. a lot of guides I've seen don't deal with things like controller recoil, stick aiming, and aim assist. So it's eye opening about things like right stick tension and centering with the left stick. good stuff, I hope you do more!
@@drewskyschannel Although probably not useful for a good portion of people, you already have a camera set up for livestreaming. Might add value too because you are specifically targeting this series through controller use.
Holy crap drew i didnt know that reticle friction is tied to left stick movement. This is amazing information, i can always count on you to teach me something big i didnt know!
Excited for the series!! I’d love to see a video on how to GET OUT of sticky situations (mainly pinches, but also any other situations that require you to dip ASAP)
These are the fundamentals that I never knew about. Personally I always understood how most players played matches. Positioning, knowledge of certain weapon archetypes, countering, etc. I played around with these things and it did improve my gameplay but this is the slightest thing that I couldn't grasp. I'm going to play around with this knowledge now and see how far it can take me. Good to see that I still can't go wrong with Drewsky.
I can't wait for more and more episodes of this series. The amount of care and passion that clearly went into the development of this series idea and this video alone are impressive. Congrats on hitting on a topic that can only benefit you to explore. Great video!
The info you put forward in this video is amazing, Drewsky. I've been a PC gaming main since childhood (Im 30 years old) but due to an injury, I've had to switch to console/controller. Destiny 2 is my main game and getting used to aiming on a contoller has been a struggle compared to using kbm but this has really, really helped me. Thanks so much mate, I'm going to work on these skills and up my contoller game!
I'm an old bird looking to improve. Been playing for a while and have never seen this broken down so well. Stoked to see the rest of this series. Thank you
Very excited about this series! I’m currently working on switching from MnK back to controller on PC due to various life situations - it has been pretty brutal so far. Thanks for this!
I consider myself to be somewhat of an above average player doing some of these things without really thinking about it. However, one bit of information I didn’t realize at all until now was reticle friction mostly coming from left stick input and now I can keep that in mind in the future while I play. Thanks for the video and looking forward to this series being expanded on in the future!
Ive found there are so many similarities between playing PvP for improvement and coaching athletes for improvement. Centering is a proper way to describe anticipation (in the athletic world, we go with Reaction times and anticipation times or RT and AT respectively) and this comes with game knowledge BUT you have an amazing instinct for this dude! You would be what I refer to as a "High responder."
I really like helping my friends improve, deck building is my favorite part of destiny & I really enjoy making builds for my friends depending on their playstyle. The biggest disconnect is our inputs, a lot of my friends play on controller so this is super helpful, even though I'm not the primary audience. Great video
I’m actually super excited to watch this series progress. As a controller player, it’s hard to find really good players like yourself that put out controller centered videos out for a game like D2. Thanks for the tips and tricks and keep up the great work man :D
Anyone else notice there's a ton more people making crucible improvement series ever since the success of Pattycakes most recent Collab and improvement series? I'm not saying it's a bad thing or copying here, it's great to see more people providing their take on improvement in destin pvp, and I really enjoy to see stuff like this man. Keep it up!
I am so excited for you to talk about this stuff. I’ve really wanted someone who mains controller, to break it down like you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I watched this video and played one one round of control and it's already made all the difference in the world, man. I've never heard someone explain how aim assist works. Thank you dude!
This series was a great idea especially because you play controller. Most (popular) content creators play m&k. I needed this, shout out to my teammate moose who sent me this ✌🏾
With the auto rifle meta I really lost my sense of precision aim but this season I’ve been really committed to two hand cannons (True Prophecy and Bottom Dollar) and two snipers (Succession and Frozen Orbit). The only exception I really make on serious play is making the switch to Felwinter. I believe in repetition in the same weapon builds a lot of blocks for becoming more comfortable. For example, I was very comfortable with the iron banner sidearm and coldheart in Year 1 of D2 and it just worked. It helps to play with the meta but if you’re comfortable with weapons, that is what ultimately makes you better in the end. I will watch this later when I get off of work because I’m always looking to improve like most. Happy to see this becoming a series
A couple of suggestion for future topics in these vids: How to keep your cool and not get tilted How to find a loadout that works for you How to play around cover and use it to your advantage Overall, great first vid in the series, learned a lot from this, can't wait for more.
Yo I’m super excited for this series that’s by far the best description for aiming on a controller I’ve heard!! Let’s go I literally can’t wait to dive deeper into this series
I started to notice the crosshair friction, there be times my crosshair would almost track alil now i know why. Looking forward to more if this since Drew is on console, its easy to relate to what he's doing. Can't wait for more i just hope we talk about cones too!
I use my right stick way too much when aiming, good to know that I dont need to over-inuence my aim. Im at least a top 5 percent player, and I didnt even know these things. This will significantly help my primary play, please make more! Good video.
I'm pretty average compared to some other players, but I'm about a 2500 elo across the board of all crucible modes, about a 1.75 kd, about 50 percent accuarcy, about 60 percent win ratio.... its decent. This series should help me improve in areas I'm lacking like my accuracy over the past 6 years.
This was a super good video, I spent the past month sniping only on console to master my shot and I never knew that reticle friction was only when you strafe, I’ll add this to my arsenal thank you for the tips drew
I'm looking forward to the rest of this series, it is nice to hear tips made for and by a controller main. You don't get a lot of those anymore these days keep up the good work.
This is so unbelievably helpful. I knew there was some way to utilize the auto-aim in this game better but I didn't know why I would get it sometimes and then not at other times until now. I've been waiting for a video like this one explaining it now even if I can't translate it to my game I can at least understand what's happening a bit better.
Terrific video. A suggestion for another future video would be threat assessment/multi target engagements. I personally struggle with prioritizing targets that would either net me a trade or just live before another person sees me or kills me outright. Love your content as always. edit: 15:18 i think is a perfect example of a favorable outcome.
I'm definitely no drewsky, but if you can use cover to only be in one sightline at once (like he used the lip of the door there to block the first enemy's view) and engage the one you'll be able to kill faster/have to kill faster (the one in TLW's effective range, and potentially about to shotgun him) then that'll increase your chances nicely. Works best if you have a weapon that's both fast and forgiving, often at the cost of range, eg. TLW, some sidearms (I like Brass Attacks, especially my roll with Killing Wind/Rampage), etc. That sort of rapid engagement is usually fairly close quarters
I just want to say that this is really cool, its like you would be like learning a subject in an online course for school just destiny! good luck on the series journey!
Wow I had no idea about the left stick giving reticle friction, explains why my aim felt off when I replaced my controller due to the left stick drifting. Even though I have fully switched to MnK I am still going to tune into all of these!
Thanks to this video I went into rumble for the first time on controller and got WRECKED for a couple hours. Hopefully I do better next time, and I found the info in this video very valuable.
Thank you for the video. It truly helped me more than any other improve your aim video.oit there by helping me understand the mechanics. I honestly hate aim assist. I used to play a lot of COD and always disabled it as I want to be I complete control of my cross hair. This helped because my habit with strafing is how it always was, you strafe right you aim slight left always moving joysticks opposite each other. Makes sense why I always had such a hard time staying on any target that was moving as I'd always be trying to follow them with the right stick thinking my sensitivity was always just too high as I always over shit them. Turns out it was just a consistent over compensation. Thus is the first crucible tip guide that immediately showed improvement in my game play. Thanks dude!
Some advice I suggest is find 1 or 2 primary weapons to practice a lot of this stuff with. Preferably the main 1 or 2 primaries you use. For example: I've been a thorn main since D1 launch and I'd practice using it in pub matches all the time. From me using it so much Ik the pacing of it so well i do it subconsciously. Pacing of the weapon helps so much and it helps you learn the retical better as well. I hope this adviced helped with any of your aiming.
Excellent video dude! I'm a Crucible main and would consider myself to be good to very good (not 1% tho), but I had no idea about the left stick activating the reticle friction. I think I've been utilizing it instinctively and due to personal experience with FPS games (and bungie FPS's specifically), but it's awesome to have a better understanding of what's going on behind the scenes. This is definitely going to help me out. I can't wait to try this out, or least be more conscious of this, and use it.
Great video. You need to talk about your current elite controller settings and your bindings. I have an elite 2 and I still don't know how are you doing those circle movements so fast. I tried every curve config, very stick tension / height. Also I'm puzzled at how fast you can dodge, I barely can two tap a button in the same time you snipe, dodge and recenter so I guess you're using single button for dodge. It'd be great to understand the ins and outs of your relationship with the controller :) As a PC contorller player, I am truly hyped for this series! Keep it up.
FWIW, really good stuff you’re sharing man.. keep them coming, I’ll be following this series...,this episode has answered one of many questions that I have...
This has been incredibly helpful! I'm a journey man D2 player and enjoy the crucible and this advice is going to make the crucible even more enjoyable. Seriously Drewsky, this is awesome advice and I am really appreciative...but buddy...hey you didn't think make this a few years earlier? Anyway, off to practice.
Some pointers on sensitivity and more specifically, a guide on elite controller settings would be awesome. I've always wanted to mess around with those settings to really fine tune my aim but have no idea where to start
This was a fantastic vid Drew. I'm super looking forward to seeing the rest of this series and seeing how I progress and get better in my play as I practice all this. Keep up the great work!
Can you make a topic on aerial gunplay, aiming in air , when to ADS, at what point in the flight trajectory and tips for each subclass ? Also how do you deal with primary exotics in the air?
Idk how some people feel about this but there are programs to allow you to place a crosshair on your screen at all times so you can see it regardless of your weapon
I really enjoyed this video Drewsky! Thank you! May I request covering the topic of surviving gunfights and how to stay alive. I struggle with knowing when to back out of a gunfight and knowing which scenarios I shouldn't get into. I trade often and would like to die less. Thank you!
awesome vid for us controller players finally there is something. as always quality classy videos from drewsky. P.S. this program helped me go from a .1KD player to a 2.3KD player overnight! This program really works! would buy again! No but really, thanks Drew cant wait for the others also a video on Sniping on controller like flicks and sens would be awesome at some point of course
I'm an ok player (top 6%) and I'm always looking to improve. I've watched so many great videos from content creators throughout the years, but this one is different. This is very basic, yet overlooked, advice. And it can only aid in becoming more efficient. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this series. What controller(s) do you use?
Really excited to start making these videos and carry on a journey & dialogue together of playing to improve. This is as much about me improving and keeping good habits as it may be for you! Thanks
Cone :D
You're my controller champion. I've been itching for more controller based tips - bonus points for tips that do not use a paddle controller. I'm super gun-shy with those due to cost / horror stories.
GREAT video! Can’t wait for the next
Drew I’m glad your having fun making this series hope I improve too
I’m really looking forward to this series for a few reasons. You just blew my mind about the left stick input. That really explains a lot of the inconsistencies I’ve been experiencing, and I never knew that was a thing. Can’t wait for the next video in the series.
How to improve your aim: Shake your right analog stick in a circle when you respawn like drew and see your game play improve 10x
ah, the classic ogre twitch
Came here to literally explain how that came from the legendary Ogre twins but it seems I've been beaten to it. I too still have this habit to this day.
I started doing this to meme and tbh it helps me focus in and prep for flicks, cuz am a chaperone main. I see why he does it.
I do this constantly, just twitching my aim around, but like someone else said it helps me focus, my mates however think it’s weird
Curious how does this help? When you die in pvp and waiting to respawn drawing circles with your right stick?
"I'm really bad at talking while playing." - *Proceeds to do a phenomenal job of talking while playing. Seriously it was really clear and informative. One of your best videos IMO. Looking forward to more!
Can’t agree more almost perfect
He’s probably better when not talking. I’ve done some commentary and it does take the gameplay down. Yes he’s really good while commentating but he’s probably much better without it. I’ve seen him play silent, it’s kinda scary when he sweats.
Drew: "I'm a controller player"
Me: "Oh good, a real person."
Great to see a controller focus everything seems to be PC oriented.
Yeah, you got, like, Drewsky and maybe Coolguy? And a few others that I know of probably, I forget. It's always nice to get advice and examples that actually apply for me.
Bc Kbm is just better
Agreed. I found cool guy and drewsky just because of controller :)
@@henryhooker1579 It’s a lot easier, certainly. Particularly with Destiny 2’s PC port.
@@henryhooker1579 how so? With the next gen consoles I’ve been liking controller more.
This is really great. A lot of "teaching" videos don't give tangible advice, but this does. "Center then flick" is burned in my memory.
A lot of these sorts of guides end up amounting to not much more than "practice", which is good advice, but it's good advice I already knew. Somehow, in all my 7ish years of playing destiny, I never actively noticed that behavior with the reticle friction. That's actually really helpful. (I imagine I had it subconsciously, but that's bad for practice. Can't practice what you don't even realize you're doing.) I don't usually follow these sorts of guides, but I'm impressed so far.
Woah I did not know that about the left stick reticle friction
Ikr! My jaw dropped there like “Whaaa?!” 🤯
i did all this and my aim is still shit. Maybe I shouldn't have practiced all this on touchpad
For me I just see people as ads. I always choke when I see another guardian. But if I imagine them as a Dreg, then I subconsciously do a little better. Plus I practice my aim in strikes.
@@trainergrim "He's a thrall" -SirD That's so funny though, a nice placebo effect maybe for keeping composure in crucible lol.
Thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out why sometimes it felt like the game aimed for me and other times I couldn’t land a shot. You made me realize that the more focused I was on landing a shot the less likely I was to move.

Cool, but really you dont need a guide video🤣

This is probably my biggest weakness playing on console, honestly this video is going to help me so much in the coming future. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic video, drew. Very excited to see this series grow. I'm glad I play on console so I don't have to face you in the crucible!
Keep them coming please!! As a controller player I appreciate hearing advice from an established controller pro

This is so unbelievably helpful. I knew there was some way to utilize the auto-aim in this game better but I didn't know why I would get it sometimes and then not at other times until now. I've been waiting for a video like this one explaining it now even if I can't translate it to my game I can at least understand what's happening a bit better.
Terrific video. A suggestion for another future video would be threat assessment/multi target engagements. I personally struggle with prioritizing targets that would either net me a trade or just live before another person sees me or kills me outright. Love your content as always.
edit: 15:18 i think is a perfect example of a favorable outcome.
I'm definitely no drewsky, but if you can use cover to only be in one sightline at once (like he used the lip of the door there to block the first enemy's view) and engage the one you'll be able to kill faster/have to kill faster (the one in TLW's effective range, and potentially about to shotgun him) then that'll increase your chances nicely.
Works best if you have a weapon that's both fast and forgiving, often at the cost of range, eg. TLW, some sidearms (I like Brass Attacks, especially my roll with Killing Wind/Rampage), etc. That sort of rapid engagement is usually fairly close quarters
Thanks Drew, I had no idea about left stick input and reticle stickiness. Really glad you're making these!
found you through cammy, defintely sticking around. great video, sticking around for this series :)
I had no idea i needed to always have left stick input. I'm scoring way more kills thanks to it. thank for this video!
Very well said. And I really appreciate the “keeping it simple” method of the topic at hand. Can’t wait until the next episode of the series.
Hearing your live commentary is *fantastic*, I'd love to see more of it
Cammy pulling out the snipe when you were talking about centering had me dead. Great video, excited to see more
I just want to say that this is really cool, its like you would be like learning a subject in an online course for school just destiny! good luck on the series journey!
Really excited for Drewsky’s tips. I have always thought Drewsky was a very technically knowledgeable/adept. I am excited to see where this goes.
Wow I had no idea about the left stick giving reticle friction, explains why my aim felt off when I replaced my controller due to the left stick drifting. Even though I have fully switched to MnK I am still going to tune into all of these!
I can't wait to see more from this series! I just started playing so they're perfect
Thanks to this video I went into rumble for the first time on controller and got WRECKED for a couple hours. Hopefully I do better next time, and I found the info in this video very valuable.
Thank you for the video. It truly helped me more than any other improve your aim video.oit there by helping me understand the mechanics. I honestly hate aim assist. I used to play a lot of COD and always disabled it as I want to be I complete control of my cross hair. This helped because my habit with strafing is how it always was, you strafe right you aim slight left always moving joysticks opposite each other. Makes sense why I always had such a hard time staying on any target that was moving as I'd always be trying to follow them with the right stick thinking my sensitivity was always just too high as I always over shit them. Turns out it was just a consistent over compensation. Thus is the first crucible tip guide that immediately showed improvement in my game play. Thanks dude!
Some advice I suggest is find 1 or 2 primary weapons to practice a lot of this stuff with. Preferably the main 1 or 2 primaries you use. For example: I've been a thorn main since D1 launch and I'd practice using it in pub matches all the time. From me using it so much Ik the pacing of it so well i do it subconsciously. Pacing of the weapon helps so much and it helps you learn the retical better as well. I hope this adviced helped with any of your aiming.
I’m already really good at destiny, and don’t have the time to watch rn, but I’ll definitely watch tonight. Should be pretty interesting
I recommend if you can to do a controller cam. The video is amazing and directions are very clear, but a visual interpretation would be fantastic!
Great first video!! I will be practicing this!! Just got a new PS5 so I am a controller player for the foreseeable future. Appreciate this series!!
Excellent video dude! I'm a Crucible main and would consider myself to be good to very good (not 1% tho), but I had no idea about the left stick activating the reticle friction. I think I've been utilizing it instinctively and due to personal experience with FPS games (and bungie FPS's specifically), but it's awesome to have a better understanding of what's going on behind the scenes. This is definitely going to help me out. I can't wait to try this out, or least be more conscious of this, and use it.
Great video. You need to talk about your current elite controller settings and your bindings. I have an elite 2 and I still don't know how are you doing those circle movements so fast. I tried every curve config, very stick tension / height. Also I'm puzzled at how fast you can dodge, I barely can two tap a button in the same time you snipe, dodge and recenter so I guess you're using single button for dodge. It'd be great to understand the ins and outs of your relationship with the controller :)
As a PC contorller player, I am truly hyped for this series! Keep it up.
Man im looking forward to your series, I need the PvP help,keep up the GREAT work
FWIW, really good stuff you’re sharing man.. keep them coming, I’ll be following this series...,this episode has answered one of many questions that I have...
This is awesome. I've always had aiming problems on controller so this was incredible info
This has been incredibly helpful! I'm a journey man D2 player and enjoy the crucible and this advice is going to make the crucible even more enjoyable. Seriously Drewsky, this is awesome advice and I am really appreciative...but buddy...hey you didn't think make this a few years earlier? Anyway, off to practice.
Crucible Mastery brought to you by "Movement Skillgap". Top man.
Yessssssss thank you for this!! Please I want a whole series of this stuff! A lot of things I learned just from one video. Keep it comin
Some pointers on sensitivity and more specifically, a guide on elite controller settings would be awesome.
I've always wanted to mess around with those settings to really fine tune my aim but have no idea where to start
This was a fantastic vid Drew. I'm super looking forward to seeing the rest of this series and seeing how I progress and get better in my play as I practice all this. Keep up the great work!
Can you make a topic on aerial gunplay, aiming in air , when to ADS, at what point in the flight trajectory and tips for each subclass ? Also how do you deal with primary exotics in the air?
Idk how some people feel about this but there are programs to allow you to place a crosshair on your screen at all times so you can see it regardless of your weapon
Woah that left stick movement friction... now I see why moving target is such a good perk.
Awesome stuff. Love the in and out of classroom learning format.
I'm really into improving on destiny 2 pvp and this video came at the right time, great job as always man!!!
I really enjoyed this video Drewsky! Thank you! May I request covering the topic of surviving gunfights and how to stay alive. I struggle with knowing when to back out of a gunfight and knowing which scenarios I shouldn't get into. I trade often and would like to die less. Thank you!
I’m so glad because I already do everything on this list.
Super excited about this new series
Pretty excited for this series of videos! I’ve always liked the way you present information and I’m definitely gonna learn a lot from this. Cheers!
awesome vid for us controller players finally there is something. as always quality classy videos from drewsky.
P.S. this program helped me go from a .1KD player to a 2.3KD player overnight! This program really works! would buy again! No but really, thanks Drew cant wait for the others also a video on Sniping on controller like flicks and sens would be awesome at some point of course
I am playing on mnk since the first doom lans but this was such a enjoyable watch almost makes me want to try controller.
Love your content man! I play pvp a lot and actually like it but I'm terrible, looking forward to more of these videos!
I'm an ok player (top 6%) and I'm always looking to improve. I've watched so many great videos from content creators throughout the years, but this one is different. This is very basic, yet overlooked, advice. And it can only aid in becoming more efficient.
I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this series. What controller(s) do you use?
