@@yourmab1513 because you dont necessarily need a coach to show you how to swing an angle properly... he actually demonstrates multiple ways to swing an angle just didnt verbalize it. multiple people in the comments said this video helped them realize that theyre swinging wrong
I really love how you get into the more psychological part. Especially for people like me that struggle to see mistakes about them and change them, the way you explain it really helps. I watched many other coaches, Jollz as example, but none of them really were able to explain core concepts the way you can and your explanations really can help me learn, personally
Jollz is just some dude that markets towards 16 year old girls and twinks. Hes not bad at coaching by anymeans but ive seen a few coaches do their thing before and honestly this banana dudeguy is veryyyyy good at just teaching but ALSO good at valorant. Pretty rare tbh. Gifted at making people learn stuff its pretty apparant. His tactics are like a cool HS teachers. Laid back but to the point
From what I understand: 1. Don't stand still, always stay mobile. 2. Stop peeking predictably. Counter strafe at varying moments and don't do it too late. 2. Get info. Jump peeking and jiggle peeking are great for knowing where your opponent is before you engage fully
Always jump peak first if they shoot u or try to shoot you, thay means they aim close to the edge, meaning U should prob wide swing NG once or twice, once they catch on, start doing close peaks vs them, check the waters, and once they get used to that, now u go back to wide swings, however when u wide swimg and let's say u don't kill in first shot, the do a strafe and have another go, then if u miss again, do another strafe, and so on, however keep in mind to not strafe the same distances and timings/speeds every time and U can even throw in some crouches if U know for sure u gonna hit em. Also, when holding angles, try to understand what the type of person enemy player is. Ego players won't adjust, they will just try the same thing again but from a new angle, people with worse aim will adjust or go somewhere else. And those who adjust to how you peak and actually kill u , well for them you just have to switch up ur approach for and become a me unpredictable.

I swear my movement is holding me back so much, I always freeze and end up standing completely still. I've learned a lot from this video though, hopefully I can implement this in my ranked games.
same. it really hurts especially on a mid or close range. i always stand completely still the moment i saw an enemy and tried for a 3-5 bullets burst. Usually it ends up with me getting killed first by enemy crouch spray immediately or after i miss the shots and tried to move after the burst. i tried to take my time and jiggling first, it works sometimes but usually i still can get killed by a crouch spray, that's so annoying
Something I struggle with is that in lower elo most people don’t burst strafe, when I get into these fights I usually win, but when I swing I keep getting caught by sprays that reduce my movement speed and I have to hurry and dink them before they land all 4 bullets or lucky-bloom into a headshot. This obviously doesn’t happen a lot and is solved by either jiggling to bait them to start spraying and re-swing while their recoil resets or wide swinging and lining up the head while they chase the spray, but when I swing and get my movespeed reduced I’m bad at calm-adjusting to their head since I know I wont really be able to strafe anymore. I am also bad so this entire situation probably doesn’t make sense to anyone above plat
I’ve had success recently by jiggling or jumping to see if someone is there, then trying to hit a deadzone shot on my next jiggle since most ppl I go against are exactly where they were before
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: MY AIM IS WAY BETTER. THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT: You should focus on how long it takes them to kill me, not how easily I can kill them. You are dying much faster than this in your ranked games, which forces you to rely even more on your aim! If you move more optimally, you will have more time to hit that shot!
Great video! this is the type of stuff i like broken down by content creators. One thing I disagree/am confused about is after you told them about the peaking/trying to be unpredictable it did feel like even when they were unpredictable you still out aimed them. I feel like yes being smart is a big part of it but on many of the gunfights they just couldn't aim as well.
Absolutely my aim is better! The main takeaway here is _they aren't killing me quickly at all_. If you're dying quickly in these ELOs - blame your movement! If you're taking forever to kill your opponents in those long fights - blame your aim!
yes but gold won't have radiants in their lobby outaiming them. so if they make at least the fight longer against similar elo player they'll win more and more fights they usually lost just because of the way they peeked. then while getting up they'll get better at aim itself cause they do better peeks by default. and this come by someone who plays at dia/asc that is trying to learn to jump peek and well other stuff that i noticed i never do in my games, but should

This honestly blew my mind. I’ve been getting tapped like crazy recently and thought I’ve been really unlucky but I realized after this vid I’ve been auto piloting.
Watched some of Woohoohin's old movement videos to refresh myself... Get recommended this one. It's amazing how good Hooj's content and coaching was. It's highly missed. Just this old video helped me as I've improved a lot since I first saw this and understand this a lot better.
Been watching your videos recently, most of the things you teach makes sense, and sometimes I think to myself, "I knew this/I was right!" but irl it is hard to apply it in real games especially when I've gotten used to playing the way I am comfortable with, and barely tries to come out of my comfort zone with my play style. Anyway, there's always room for improvements, recently I've been getting stable with headshots, I have trouble most of the times in peeking and predicting where enemies may come in and out though, so this is really helpful! Keep up the good work, you're very helpful Mr. Banana!
watching you just makes me better at my game I was (Plat 1) 1 month before and now I'm (D3) Because of some Mistakes that are now improved thanks to you bro Lots of Love To you
Woohoojin! Your content is by far the most valuable for valorant players who want to grow. I've easily played over 1000 hours stuck on how to improve. Just by applying what you've shown in this video, I quickly went from Plat to Ascendant within two weeks (hours and hours of play - end year holidays). It was my movement all along. Happy New Year everyone!
@Snow Mexican yes 100% a me thing. Also, majority of my games were with friends especially regular duo queuing. I discovered Solo Q win rate was much higher. UPDATE - Now stuck between Asc3 - Immo 1.
I like the concept of this video but you don’t really explain how to actually move better. No mention of peeking far from the wall, fact that you hit max speed after 2 steps, explain counter strafing, or benefits of ADS from long range. I understand why you made the video but to be honest it kind of just comes off as arrogant.
Hey! I'd like to address your suggestions, 1. Counterstrafing: I have openly said on stream now many times that I myself do not counterstrafe (accuracy at 0.08s vs 0.09s SOURCE: th-cam.com/video/59-z0DAH-5k/w-d-xo.html 2. Max Speed: I'm not sure what having this information does for the player? I didn't notice any issues with how these gold students were peeking after I explained the process of mixing up their approach. 3. Far Wall: Fair play on this one - I definitely should've been more vocal about how I was switching this up. I've brought it up many times to students (you can see this in episode 1 of Silver to Diamond Coaching) but I definitely should've explicitly noted that I was mixing it up here. 0 malicious intent on my part here when leaving this stuff omitted, my goal is to provide high quality education resources; not flex on lower rated players (which is why you will not see any ranked smurf content on this channel).
@@darkdragon657_2 if you peek an angle really close to a wall your opponent is able to see you slightly before you see them, if you peek far back your better off, have peekers advantage and ur head is smaller to hit.
When I'm in the situations that you're demonstrating here I have 100% realized how bad people are at tracking. Even if you just go into a DM and strafe people can't hit you at all. The main issue I'm having right now is getting pre-fired when I feel like I'm holding off angles or jiggling for info at (what I thought was) a strong position. I'm still very new to the game (about 60 total games) so I know it's just an experience difference, but for the life of me I just can not figure out how to position (especially on defense or for info gathering) to not just get pre-fired. 😢
The techniques I used are the same in higher ranks. Mix up your pacing/style of peek. Look for ways to gather information about a potential fight before swinging. Prefire. Jump spot.
@@Woohoojinhardstuck ascendant here you actual goat, i don’t know how long i should make my strafes and don’t trust dm to test it bc of how mixed the elo is, when i play good players i assume that tight strafes are great because it’s just enough to get my head out of the way and i get to shoot quicker, works pretty well most of the time because i rarely ever need more than 2 bursts to kill someone but i’m assuming that i can make my strafes long enough to actually make them miss then shoot every so often?this sounds like it’s gonna be really fun to experiment with but idk if it’ll be as effective in high asc imm lobbies but that might just be me overestimating these guys
This is exactly the perfect video as someone who went from Bronze 3 to Bronze 1 from losing like 6 games in a row. This is what I needed to see. Someone at my level get better.
I just wanna point out anything over 80+ ping plus lag spikes makes it physically impossible to peak, especially with delayed bullet registration, a perfect example is in fortnite 0 ping you can hold walls and steal them from other players on 30+ ping, but if we’re talking about Fps every millisecond counts, if I were to peak out and get behind the wall my hit box is like 2 steps behind me, but I’ve tried low ping before and it makes videogames unbelievably easy especially CS
BIGGEST AND BEST tip you can ever give someone, regardless of what theyre trying to improve in: THINK, constantly be thinking about what you are doing, is it smart? Are there better options? For fps games: what are they doing? Why are they doing it? How can i take advantage of that? Just constantly ask yourself questions. Itll take a while before it takes effect but its 1000% better than autopiloting ranked for hours and then being hardstuck and not understanding why. To speed this up: watch better players and especially watch your own VODs, find out what you are doing differently, dont assume that what they are doing is better just cause they are better though, think about why it could be better and decide for yourself
this mentality just leads to overthinking. just play the game more and all these things come naturally, there's no need to force yourself to think all these things cuz you'll just come up with nothing. "dont force improvement to happen, instead let it happen"
@@poixone it can lead to overthinking, it doesn't need to though. Improvement doesn't just happen, perfect practice makes perfect, if you're not thinking about what is going on and just autopiloting, you're likely eventually get better (I never thought about rotation in rocket league, I just learned it over the years) but it's not a guarantee you'll make it higher than a certain point and you will definitely learn slower. Keeping your brain active while you practice makes you learn faster and continue learning once you hit walls and learn ways to overcome those walls
@@SenatorDodo09 fair enough but id just say use common sense and that your common sense will get better the more u play the game, people often misinterpret what you're saying rn
As a bronze I spent some time on learning how to strafe side to side and tap spray. Keep in mind that I already had decent aim at the time getting a lot of headshots with weapons like the ghost and vandal. After implementing the strafing movement people started calling me a smurf because I was almost impossible for low elo players to hit and once I got used to aiming while strafing I could hit them easily while doing so. Jumped straight to silver within a two weeks, one week spent getting used to the aiming and timing while strafing, this a skill you will never stop using.
lmao I remember this experience, when I first played plat I thought it was full of aim demons because all the common spots I peeked or held would just be a 1 tap.
This was very educational for me, as someone whos started out in Valorant and gets really frustrated my tryhards one tapping me and im like, but why? how? aimbot? I never even thought to consider this, and I think its mostly just due to how this game is versus other games. Its different, its also extremely extremely competitive. I can kinda hold my own now, but I think ill use these tips to improve and continue working on the aiming part so that when im peeking and then moving im lined up where I wanna be.
my biggest problem is that I'm coming from games like R6S, where pixel peaking gives you an edge. So I try doing that but it never works. I'm trying to get into the hang of doing your routine, but man is it tough but I can tell that I'm improving
One thing its good to mention ,its a 1v1 situation ,u never hold angles like that in higher elo unless u r jett or chamber, learn all that but with actual right angles to hold and correct movement that can be implied into games should be mentioned imo!
I'm brand new to the game so def a low elo player and this explains why when I try to focus on getting that perfect one-shot I die but I can say f it and just run straight down mid and get three quick headtaps. I'm probably still not moving correctly but just moving is probably what does it.
I don’t understand, I know I’m doing this wrong but I don’t know how I’m doing it wrong. Like for me I get shot and that slows me down and I can move out of the way because I’m being shot a bunch. I don’t know how little jiggles make you fully not hit. I been practicing for about a week tho. I’m bronze 2
its the same with fighting games and MOBAs to. A large portion of getting good on those games is movement. Either how you move through the map and map awareness on how your enemies move in MOBAs, andd how you move and control spacing in fighting games. Mastering movement in any type of games is essential, almost its mandatory that you learn how to move.
Okay this video is very well done but the biggest take away is that after all these tries unless the students gets the perfect one tap, they struggle to get an easy kill against an enemy out in the open who's not really trying to kill them either. They way I see them react to your movement tells me they are not comfortable with their sens, as they don't immediately shoot after strafing which I suppose means they are taking too much time trying to control their crosshair. Aim can get you far in Valorant guys, there are people in Diamond + who just wide swing everything without even having a game plan and it works. Find your sensitivity before you start doing anything else.

I was immortal 2 and I’m lost. Maybe I just have good aim but I have no clue what swing you were wanting. I feel like I don’t get 1 tapped unless the dude just hits a nice readjustment or perfect plscdmrnf
Along with aim and movement I also have the problem that I don't move or aim in (normal) matches the same way I do in deathmatches or practise mode. I dunno what it is. It's not being too tense or too relaxed. I just don't hold my crosshair as well as I should or swing and move as well as I should. Have you seen/experienced this before, if so what is causing that and do you have tips for it? Off-topic: do you think you will you ever release Rocket League (coaching) content? I'd 100% watch it.
You need to accept that you're going to lose some ranked, and play ranked with the sole focus of moving correctly in your fights. It can take weeks of focused conscious effort to train your subconscious. Rocket League, while a fascinating game, is not something I plan on releasing coaching content for in the future. The time investment to stay up-to-date on evolving strategies/techniques in a secondary esport is not feasible while I also work a fulltime job.
@@Woohoojin I understand that. I hit a plateau for a very long time and couldn't break above plat 2 in RL. Thanks for the tips for valo. I saw in one of your other comments that fully re-watching your own VODs helps getting off auto-pilot. I'm guessing that might help me out too. Maybe I'm auto-piloting and not using the fruits of the practise. So I'll probably try that once I get a gaming rig strong enough to record on the background.
I mean u aren't technically wrong but I can't really figure out what to change I can't tight or wide swing mofos see my arm before I see their body at all and I'm shot within a millisecond of me even seeing them on my screen, I know one issue I have is sometimes I re peek after they know I'm there and they have the advantage but again idk I feel there's something I'm not understanding, the amount of insane flicks that people hit on me is insane as well, but I am determined to get better so I will figure out my issue
...I think a lot of it is again a mental thing...bc in deathmatch I rarely ever get lower than 3 and I win quite often my shots r usually great this and that....but I think it's bc I don't care as much so I have more confidence...in games I try to do that but it just doesn't work so not the whole reason but a small part of it is definitely mental
For many people you may seem arrogant, but personally I like the “being for real” attitude. You showcased the movement really well, but you could “verbalize” the difference more since lower elo players might get confused!
I appreciate these videos, although I have learned I need to strafe and get my timing down for accurate shots I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Am i firing before I press the opposite dirrection? Right as I press or after I press... cannot get it consistent
That’s what I was thinking for a bit now. I had an issue with my hs% and noticed that I was spraying too much. I then made a macro for my mouse that would allow me to only burst 2 shots at a time. I thought this would help me the most because I would only go for headshots. But I noticed that actually it’s not really the aim part that I was lacking rather than being too much of an easy target when spraying. When I started to only double tap I automatically started to strafe a lot more and faster and see the enemies bullets flying left and right to my head.
@@isjaboi2363 Don't be complacent, my friend got banned for using macros in Logitech Hub, he lost his account worth $500 dollars. He's still pissed about it to this day.
Me: My movement is so bad, I have to focus on it in the next game. Me in the next game, being shot at: AaaaAAaAAAAAAaaaAAaAA while running and shooting.
When you're bronze it really feels absurdly hard to hit someone whos AD ADing against you, i started out Iron 3 and man i remember getting so mad when people did it against LOL, good times man
Maybe you could make a movement guide? I am currently d1 after my second act and my ascendant friends say I struggle with movement but have good aim, I can counter strafe but I usually crouch spam while doing it and I think I am not strafing properly as my bullets often go in different directions and I just get confused, nice video though
TLDR: Woohoojin smurfs on bronze and gold players for 8 minutes But seriously this is an interesting takeaway, I'll defo try to implement this into my games (aka moving more) The things that I am confused about though - Doesn't moving more also make it harder for you to hit the shot. I'm bronze 3, and when I try to move more, I struggle to hit shots How can I apply this/does this apply to close or mid range duels?
they didnt pay for this session so he wont give anything free of super use he gave the understanding what they are doing is wrong and its not aim so they can focus on how to learn peaks rather than hit 30/30 bots
In deatchmatch a lot of times i dodge the bullets so well we become friends for the rest of the game I'm hard stuck iron (for 8 months) as of now but now watching the vids to improve and I'm already seeing improvement in 3 days even tho It feels like I'm not changing a lot
Bro yo yo yo i have a lil question, i can counterstrafe but when i get hit i move slower and just dies from slow movement. At that point i think i only care about moving away instead of trying to kill the enemy while slowed but i want your thoughts
I've got to mid plat almost purely by grinding mechanics and learning good angles/maps. And honestly when I played with some lower rated friends against other lower rated people (low gold and below) the most noticable thing was their movement. It was jarring at first because I was used to players with decent movement but once I realized how predictable their movement was winning gunfights was completely braindead. It didn't even matter if I had better aim because they simply couldn't hit me consistently.
I swear I’ve been so disciplined moving left to right now w key and no crouch and still get fucked on the swings. I’m getting there though. Your videos have got me some nice clean kills
It's really strange to think that footwork matters not only in a gunfight but in a video game on top of that. I've heard a few coaches online talk about this more or less.
3:37 not sure how it works in valo, but in cs not peeking close to the object you're behind was one of the essential things to know about peeking. If you're too close to the wall or anything else, your head will be already half-way out when you only start to see the first pixel of your opponents head
This is so great but we need to know more about how to start training to fix this. Is it all just the gunfight hygiene video? I have started following that practice (along with the gold in 1 month routine).
There’s no simple training routine here - every gunfight in this game is unique! This is to highlight that lower rated players don’t approach these gunfights with creativity. After I explained some options to the Golds notice how they started successfully getting into fair fights with me!
Also keep in mind, bronze players may not have proper display or graphics settings. I agree movement is key, but if you have the wrong settings, you will have a much harder time getting that feeling of crispy aim.
I am getting one tapped as soon as i start moving when in a fight not right after the peek. Mostly from enemies full spraying or just run and gunning...
so, how are you supposed to improve your movement? How are you supposed to peek then? I understand that my peeking is trash but there's no explanation as to why or how to peek.

Been watching your videos recently, most of the things you teach makes sense, and sometimes I think to myself, "I knew this/I was right!" but irl it is hard to apply it in real games especially when I've gotten used to playing the way I am comfortable with, and barely tries to come out of my comfort zone with my play style. Anyway, there's always room for improvements, recently I've been getting stable with headshots, I have trouble most of the times in peeking and predicting where enemies may come in and out though, so this is really helpful! Keep up the good work, you're very helpful Mr. Banana!
watching you just makes me better at my game I was (Plat 1) 1 month before and now I'm (D3) Because of some Mistakes that are now improved thanks to you bro
Lots of Love To you
Woohoojin! Your content is by far the most valuable for valorant players who want to grow. I've easily played over 1000 hours stuck on how to improve. Just by applying what you've shown in this video, I quickly went from Plat to Ascendant within two weeks (hours and hours of play - end year holidays). It was my movement all along. Happy New Year everyone!
To add to this, I stopped playing with friends, decided to Solo Q and eventually found some others to duo with who took improvement seriously.
@@JEZTONEofficial false
@@JEZTONEofficial don’t forget your homies bro
If you have 1k hours and stuck on plat that is literally just a you problem.
@Snow Mexican yes 100% a me thing.
Also, majority of my games were with friends especially regular duo queuing. I discovered Solo Q win rate was much higher. UPDATE - Now stuck between Asc3 - Immo 1.
I like the concept of this video but you don’t really explain how to actually move better. No mention of peeking far from the wall, fact that you hit max speed after 2 steps, explain counter strafing, or benefits of ADS from long range. I understand why you made the video but to be honest it kind of just comes off as arrogant.
Hey! I'd like to address your suggestions,
1. Counterstrafing: I have openly said on stream now many times that I myself do not counterstrafe (accuracy at 0.08s vs 0.09s SOURCE: th-cam.com/video/59-z0DAH-5k/w-d-xo.html
2. Max Speed: I'm not sure what having this information does for the player? I didn't notice any issues with how these gold students were peeking after I explained the process of mixing up their approach.
3. Far Wall: Fair play on this one - I definitely should've been more vocal about how I was switching this up. I've brought it up many times to students (you can see this in episode 1 of Silver to Diamond Coaching) but I definitely should've explicitly noted that I was mixing it up here.
0 malicious intent on my part here when leaving this stuff omitted, my goal is to provide high quality education resources; not flex on lower rated players (which is why you will not see any ranked smurf content on this channel).
Same not too sure what was the difference
@@Woohoojin what's far wall?
@@darkdragon657_2 if you peek an angle really close to a wall your opponent is able to see you slightly before you see them, if you peek far back your better off, have peekers advantage and ur head is smaller to hit.
@@plex1. ahhhhhh ok gotcha, thank you
When I'm in the situations that you're demonstrating here I have 100% realized how bad people are at tracking. Even if you just go into a DM and strafe people can't hit you at all. The main issue I'm having right now is getting pre-fired when I feel like I'm holding off angles or jiggling for info at (what I thought was) a strong position.
I'm still very new to the game (about 60 total games) so I know it's just an experience difference, but for the life of me I just can not figure out how to position (especially on defense or for info gathering) to not just get pre-fired. 😢
Same here i feel like there should be proper matching new players should be matched with new players or bots not lvl 100 players
@@AsuraVGC the matching is proper, people can be lvl 100 and still suck. lvl100 isnt that many hours in the grand scheme of things.

I’ve made it to plat 1 and dropped back down to gold 3 because of your videos. I’ll be back. And then back down. 😈
One of these days will be the last day you're ever a gold player, v12. I hope I help you see that day.
@@v12val what’s your rank now?
mans better than pro guides at giving tips
damn, good shit. straight to the point, and i love the confidence.
Could you do a similar video with how to take gunfights/move correctly in higher elo(Dia/ascendant)? Much love, goated content.
The techniques I used are the same in higher ranks.
Mix up your pacing/style of peek. Look for ways to gather information about a potential fight before swinging. Prefire. Jump spot.
@@Woohoojinhardstuck ascendant here you actual goat, i don’t know how long i should make my strafes and don’t trust dm to test it bc of how mixed the elo is, when i play good players i assume that tight strafes are great because it’s just enough to get my head out of the way and i get to shoot quicker, works pretty well most of the time because i rarely ever need more than 2 bursts to kill someone but i’m assuming that i can make my strafes long enough to actually make them miss then shoot every so often?this sounds like it’s gonna be really fun to experiment with but idk if it’ll be as effective in high asc imm lobbies but that might just be me overestimating these guys
It's a sign that this popped up and calling me to watch it. I feel enlightened now
This is exactly the perfect video as someone who went from Bronze 3 to Bronze 1 from losing like 6 games in a row. This is what I needed to see. Someone at my level get better.
I just wanna point out anything over 80+ ping plus lag spikes makes it physically impossible to peak, especially with delayed bullet registration, a perfect example is in fortnite 0 ping you can hold walls and steal them from other players on 30+ ping, but if we’re talking about Fps every millisecond counts, if I were to peak out and get behind the wall my hit box is like 2 steps behind me, but I’ve tried low ping before and it makes videogames unbelievably easy especially CS
bro said it wasnt aim demons, and then just aim diffed him.
pretty true actually xD
Not aim diff, movement diff.
This is feels like you when your dad is helping you with your math homework 😭
BIGGEST AND BEST tip you can ever give someone, regardless of what theyre trying to improve in: THINK, constantly be thinking about what you are doing, is it smart? Are there better options? For fps games: what are they doing? Why are they doing it? How can i take advantage of that? Just constantly ask yourself questions. Itll take a while before it takes effect but its 1000% better than autopiloting ranked for hours and then being hardstuck and not understanding why. To speed this up: watch better players and especially watch your own VODs, find out what you are doing differently, dont assume that what they are doing is better just cause they are better though, think about why it could be better and decide for yourself
this mentality just leads to overthinking. just play the game more and all these things come naturally, there's no need to force yourself to think all these things cuz you'll just come up with nothing. "dont force improvement to happen, instead let it happen"
@@poixone it can lead to overthinking, it doesn't need to though. Improvement doesn't just happen, perfect practice makes perfect, if you're not thinking about what is going on and just autopiloting, you're likely eventually get better (I never thought about rotation in rocket league, I just learned it over the years) but it's not a guarantee you'll make it higher than a certain point and you will definitely learn slower. Keeping your brain active while you practice makes you learn faster and continue learning once you hit walls and learn ways to overcome those walls
@@SenatorDodo09 my point is you need to focus on one thing at a time not ask yourself 15 questions every time u see someone
@@poixone sure i didnt mean ask all of those questions at once, just general examples of questions you can ask when you are playing.
@@SenatorDodo09 fair enough but id just say use common sense and that your common sense will get better the more u play the game, people often misinterpret what you're saying rn
this video is a big eye opener, i used to think it's just that they got crazy aim, never thought it could be my movement!! thanks a lot woohoojin :-)
bro im not even guna lie your channel is helping me out so much ty man.
As a bronze I spent some time on learning how to strafe side to side and tap spray. Keep in mind that I already had decent aim at the time getting a lot of headshots with weapons like the ghost and vandal. After implementing the strafing movement people started calling me a smurf because I was almost impossible for low elo players to hit and once I got used to aiming while strafing I could hit them easily while doing so. Jumped straight to silver within a two weeks, one week spent getting used to the aiming and timing while strafing, this a skill you will never stop using.
lmao I remember this experience, when I first played plat I thought it was full of aim demons because all the common spots I peeked or held would just be a 1 tap.
i moved like he did, got 1 tapped every time
yeah cool and all but i can literally be fully jump sprinting across a 3m hallway and still get headshot one tapped
prob a combination of peekers advantage and bad movement
What I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter how they swing or how good there aim is if you kill then through a wall with Odin
what I learned is I need to sit in the middle of the open until I just out move myself to gold
This was very educational for me, as someone whos started out in Valorant and gets really frustrated my tryhards one tapping me and im like, but why? how? aimbot? I never even thought to consider this, and I think its mostly just due to how this game is versus other games. Its different, its also extremely extremely competitive. I can kinda hold my own now, but I think ill use these tips to improve and continue working on the aiming part so that when im peeking and then moving im lined up where I wanna be.
There are very very few hackers in this game, I doub that you've ever played against a cheater.
i love leonard’s castle crashers profile pic hahah
I learned so much and the fact he didn’t explain
This movement could be the key to me winning gun fights
A LOT of random stuff happens in valorant that does come down to luck though... Even I hit headshots accidentally WAY too much lmao
my biggest problem is that I'm coming from games like R6S, where pixel peaking gives you an edge. So I try doing that but it never works. I'm trying to get into the hang of doing your routine, but man is it tough but I can tell that I'm improving
One thing its good to mention ,its a 1v1 situation ,u never hold angles like that in higher elo unless u r jett or chamber, learn all that but with actual right angles to hold and correct movement that can be implied into games should be mentioned imo!
I'm brand new to the game so def a low elo player and this explains why when I try to focus on getting that perfect one-shot I die but I can say f it and just run straight down mid and get three quick headtaps. I'm probably still not moving correctly but just moving is probably what does it.
I realized this after many deathmatches lmao yall got this lesson for free 😭
I don’t understand, I know I’m doing this wrong but I don’t know how I’m doing it wrong. Like for me I get shot and that slows me down and I can move out of the way because I’m being shot a bunch. I don’t know how little jiggles make you fully not hit. I been practicing for about a week tho. I’m bronze 2
never seen another coach do this, w, and only 3k subs, the algorithm is evil i swear
its the same with fighting games and MOBAs to. A large portion of getting good on those games is movement. Either how you move through the map and map awareness on how your enemies move in MOBAs, andd how you move and control spacing in fighting games. Mastering movement in any type of games is essential, almost its mandatory that you learn how to move.
Okay this video is very well done but the biggest take away is that after all these tries unless the students gets the perfect one tap, they struggle to get an easy kill against an enemy out in the open who's not really trying to kill them either. They way I see them react to your movement tells me they are not comfortable with their sens, as they don't immediately shoot after strafing which I suppose means they are taking too much time trying to control their crosshair. Aim can get you far in Valorant guys, there are people in Diamond + who just wide swing everything without even having a game plan and it works. Find your sensitivity before you start doing anything else.

Went from always getting tapped to tapping ty for this vid 💯🔥
Nice vid, didn't think such small change would make my aim get so clean fr fr
I was immortal 2 and I’m lost. Maybe I just have good aim but I have no clue what swing you were wanting. I feel like I don’t get 1 tapped unless the dude just hits a nice readjustment or perfect plscdmrnf
This is genuinely a perfect example of how people play valorant. It's a game that requires you to use your mind to understand the complex mechanics.
When i stop moving my shots go all over the place
i mean my ping is 150+ but i guess i have to blame it on myself then
When I wide swing I get one tapped, I deady peek close I get one tapped. Luck
Along with aim and movement I also have the problem that I don't move or aim in (normal) matches the same way I do in deathmatches or practise mode. I dunno what it is. It's not being too tense or too relaxed. I just don't hold my crosshair as well as I should or swing and move as well as I should.
Have you seen/experienced this before, if so what is causing that and do you have tips for it?
Off-topic: do you think you will you ever release Rocket League (coaching) content? I'd 100% watch it.
You need to accept that you're going to lose some ranked, and play ranked with the sole focus of moving correctly in your fights.
It can take weeks of focused conscious effort to train your subconscious.
Rocket League, while a fascinating game, is not something I plan on releasing coaching content for in the future. The time investment to stay up-to-date on evolving strategies/techniques in a secondary esport is not feasible while I also work a fulltime job.
@@Woohoojin I understand that. I hit a plateau for a very long time and couldn't break above plat 2 in RL.
Thanks for the tips for valo. I saw in one of your other comments that fully re-watching your own VODs helps getting off auto-pilot.
I'm guessing that might help me out too.
Maybe I'm auto-piloting and not using the fruits of the practise.
So I'll probably try that once I get a gaming rig strong enough to record on the background.
He doesn't actually say what you should do to improve.
The video just says, "your movement is bad"
That's it. Nothing else
Look at what he's doing... copy it. That's how you improve.
Okay because I’m doing to do this and no one’s going to tap me anymore. Sure.
I mean u aren't technically wrong but I can't really figure out what to change I can't tight or wide swing mofos see my arm before I see their body at all and I'm shot within a millisecond of me even seeing them on my screen, I know one issue I have is sometimes I re peek after they know I'm there and they have the advantage but again idk I feel there's something I'm not understanding, the amount of insane flicks that people hit on me is insane as well, but I am determined to get better so I will figure out my issue
...I think a lot of it is again a mental thing...bc in deathmatch I rarely ever get lower than 3 and I win quite often my shots r usually great this and that....but I think it's bc I don't care as much so I have more confidence...in games I try to do that but it just doesn't work so not the whole reason but a small part of it is definitely mental
For many people you may seem arrogant, but personally I like the “being for real” attitude. You showcased the movement really well, but you could “verbalize” the difference more since lower elo players might get confused!
I don't see the arrogance either, he even compliment the gold when he gets a great shot
I appreciate these videos, although I have learned I need to strafe and get my timing down for accurate shots I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Am i firing before I press the opposite dirrection? Right as I press or after I press... cannot get it consistent
this is actually really helpful
That’s what I was thinking for a bit now.
I had an issue with my hs% and noticed that I was spraying too much. I then made a macro for my mouse that would allow me to only burst 2 shots at a time.
I thought this would help me the most because I would only go for headshots. But I noticed that actually it’s not really the aim part that I was lacking rather than being too much of an easy target when spraying. When I started to only double tap I automatically started to strafe a lot more and faster and see the enemies bullets flying left and right to my head.
Wait im pretty sure macros are bannable, be careful with that.
might wanna reconsider the macro valorant might ban you
Yea you probably will get banned at some point if you continue
@@Roop283 meh i dont think the game will notice.
@@isjaboi2363 Don't be complacent, my friend got banned for using macros in Logitech Hub, he lost his account worth $500 dollars. He's still pissed about it to this day.
This is really insightful
Me: My movement is so bad, I have to focus on it in the next game.
Me in the next game, being shot at: AaaaAAaAAAAAAaaaAAaAA while running and shooting.
that bug when youre looking at the ground and cant aim up happened me 3 times in ranked
When you're bronze it really feels absurdly hard to hit someone whos AD ADing against you, i started out Iron 3 and man i remember getting so mad when people did it against LOL, good times man
Maybe you could make a movement guide? I am currently d1 after my second act and my ascendant friends say I struggle with movement but have good aim, I can counter strafe but I usually crouch spam while doing it and I think I am not strafing properly as my bullets often go in different directions and I just get confused, nice video though
TLDR: Woohoojin smurfs on bronze and gold players for 8 minutes
But seriously this is an interesting takeaway, I'll defo try to implement this into my games (aka moving more)
The things that I am confused about though -
Doesn't moving more also make it harder for you to hit the shot. I'm bronze 3, and when I try to move more, I struggle to hit shots
How can I apply this/does this apply to close or mid range duels?
that’s where counter strafing comes into play, you can search it up and see more information on how to do it.
“You see? You’re swinging wrong”
“How am I swinging?”
“Like a gold! It’s wrong”
“How do I improve?”
“Stop swinging like a gold”
they didnt pay for this session so he wont give anything free of super use he gave the understanding what they are doing is wrong and its not aim so they can focus on how to learn peaks rather than hit 30/30 bots
In deatchmatch a lot of times i dodge the bullets so well we become friends for the rest of the game
I'm hard stuck iron (for 8 months) as of now but now watching the vids to improve and I'm already seeing improvement in 3 days even tho It feels like I'm not changing a lot
Muahahah relatable I once came across a neon in a dm, dodged all his bullets and then we didn't kill each other for the whole game.
9 months since I made the comment but still peak rank bronze 2
The improvement feeling was a lie
Idk what I can do to improve and rank up
This was the vid that brought me the banana man
Better, now again. Bros a full on sensei
Bro yo yo yo i have a lil question, i can counterstrafe but when i get hit i move slower and just dies from slow movement. At that point i think i only care about moving away instead of trying to kill the enemy while slowed but i want your thoughts
so would u say its better to use ads for long distance if ur defending but when ur swinging u dont wanna ads correct?
this is so true man I'm a big brain tenz like aim man but i had a bad aim day once and i still got 25 spraying with vandal and clutching rounds.
I've got to mid plat almost purely by grinding mechanics and learning good angles/maps. And honestly when I played with some lower rated friends against other lower rated people (low gold and below) the most noticable thing was their movement. It was jarring at first because I was used to players with decent movement but once I realized how predictable their movement was winning gunfights was completely braindead. It didn't even matter if I had better aim because they simply couldn't hit me consistently.
I swear I’ve been so disciplined moving left to right now w key and no crouch and still get fucked on the swings. I’m getting there though. Your videos have got me some nice clean kills
@@lolrus definitely not mastered it. I’m a keep going to still work on it.
It's really strange to think that footwork matters not only in a gunfight but in a video game on top of that.
I've heard a few coaches online talk about this more or less.
I'm immediately gonna train both my movement AND my tracking.
With that being said, sometimes thinking too much can get u killed also. In some cases, the swing and shoot game catches them does catch off guard.
For some reason when i try to aim and my crosshair is on enemys head i just flick away from their head and miss all my shots
Soul Reading at its finest.
3:37 not sure how it works in valo, but in cs not peeking close to the object you're behind was one of the essential things to know about peeking. If you're too close to the wall or anything else, your head will be already half-way out when you only start to see the first pixel of your opponents head
I think it’s the same concept. Or more so your shoulder peeks out so they see you first
It’s indeed the same. Im pretty sure he’s only doing that for the sake of mixing up his swings/ getting info
This is so great but we need to know more about how to start training to fix this. Is it all just the gunfight hygiene video? I have started following that practice (along with the gold in 1 month routine).
There’s no simple training routine here - every gunfight in this game is unique!
This is to highlight that lower rated players don’t approach these gunfights with creativity. After I explained some options to the Golds notice how they started successfully getting into fair fights with me!
bro even when im counter strafing im still getting instantly one tapped lol
I feel like focusing on my movement compensates for my aim
One simple solution is to become the aim demon
Youll get angle diffed anyways if you suck at peeking trust me
@@Nbunasuis24 cap lmao I just became an aim demon went from plat to immo
Also keep in mind, bronze players may not have proper display or graphics settings. I agree movement is key, but if you have the wrong settings, you will have a much harder time getting that feeling of crispy aim.
Woohoojin on 0.5 speed is goated😂🎉
I feel so called out but i needed this badly lmao
My movement is so bad guess I need to practice my movement and different swings...Thanks for the insight
I am getting one tapped as soon as i start moving when in a fight not right after the peek. Mostly from enemies full spraying or just run and gunning...
advice from a iron player
i think woohojin u should use a dot crosshair
Really good video, now I just need the supplement video on how to move better in my low elo.
so, how are you supposed to improve your movement? How are you supposed to peek then?
I understand that my peeking is trash but there's no explanation as to why or how to peek.
