I'm in low elo myself and there are two things that make it hell: 1. Toxic/AFK/Throwers. Some after you lose the first pistol. 2. It's almost always one player that dominates. Either smurfing or not, all games are mostly like this.
Smurfing is not that big of a issue I was hardstuck silver for the entire season 7 but the amount of Times I played against smurfs is so small that i dont even care about it
If you deserve Diamond then you won't have issues getting out of silver/gold. If you deserve Immortal than you won't have issues getting out of plat/diamond. It simple.
I think he's probably much better if he'd play duelist since he got the reaction time and flicks. He can use that to run around and clear sites. I think he's not fit for the sentinel role since he'll probably be holding angles more than dueling enemies in open space. Improve his game sense and movement and he'll reach immo in ond act for sure
tbf, playing sage if you have insane aim could be insanely beneficial, and i think that was what he was thinking, as insane aim = more kills, more kills = more sage res, more sage res = more chances of winning
The issue with valorant is, for low elo this doesnt apply, but later on in mid-higher elo, it doesnt matter how good you are individually anymore. Its a team game, and the better team wins. And in a lot of lobbies that are plat and lower, theres no teamwork at ALL. Everyone is trying to make their own plays because A) they dont care and are throwing/trolling, B) they are cocky and then overheat which happens way too much, C) "its just a game" which apparently justifies them talking shit then going afk, and D) boosted mfs who should be in iron-bronze. You kind of have to stack at least 3 to climb consistently.
I'd say while his aim is pretty good, Gridshot exactly doesn't help with Valorant except for flicking into general directions. Even if you set the headshot point aside, the recoil, especially on Vandal puts you at a disadvantage since Gridshot only involves quick target switch but in valo you also need to adjust the recoil whole spraying
Exactly. Also, unless there are targets that are smaller in aimlabs it doesn't help flicking towards the head. This is really only flicking onto the head+main body quickly. I honestly don't use anything besides val to train aim. I find there's no better way to train aim (and game sense) than training it on val itself. :)
I got better through putting myself in only competitive trial and error using my main (omen). First, I improved aim using tip guides on RUclips and honed my experience and then I used frenzy only to force my game sense to come out and improve.
Gridshot or any aimlabs routine etc will never transfer 1:1 to Val. Aimlabs/Gridshot is purely used to learn and master your sensitivity. Which he has absolutely achieved.
As someone who climbed silver 3 to plat 1 in one act, I had to play smokes since i trusted myself more in lower elos to actually use them more effectively. It's so frustrating to enter site dry without smokes, so i took it in my own hands. I also think smokes will help impact lower elo teammates more since they last longer than a flash, the number of times that teammates dont peek off a flash.
@@ray7225 Brim right now is my choice of pick for most maps since having three smokes down in an instant is very useful, with Viper on certain maps like pearl, breeze and icebox for me. Other than those, it's really up to your play style, omen and astra are really good for lurkers since they can smoke from anywhere on the map.
As a top 100 aimer I can say this guy doesn't understand one thing about aiming. Gridshot doesn't translate to any tacfps... Speed doesn't matter if you don't have precision. It always bothers me when someone thinks they have aim but in reality their scores are 1/2 of ours. I'm talking about precision tasks, not speed.
Using the wrong activities will definitely hold you back. The activities in Aim Lab that you often see, the ones that get advertised don't help much, especially gridshot which people only play for scores. Finding custom routines or ones provided by the Voltaic community will go a long way to your overall improvement. As for getting better in game. Make a habitual routine of picking apart your gameplay, what you did right and wrong, watch pro plays and pick apart their gameplay, think about what they were doing and why. That's how you get better as a player, through consistency and analysis of your own gameplay and others.
Being someone who was in bronze-gold for 2 acts back and forth which is a big gap I've noticed that aim only takes you so far because of the rng I've been drilling people and get one taped by someone who just jumped off a ledge and started shooting as he turned. But I really started progressing the ranks when I learned just how different a game can be when util is saved/used properly, util can destroy people's focus and aim if used correctly, or even a lineup for example can be used to avoid the risk of losing a gunfight that may impact the round or even the game. And having that mixed with a team of good util combos can easily progress the ranks with meh level aim.
Something that feels crazy, is if you hit a higher elo like dia/plat and then derank/not play for a bit, the elo that you're in isn't actually the rank you're playing at anymore. So for some people stuck in gold, they're actually playing against people that are much better than this.
@@snztr3178 what tasks did you do? I have 200 hours, ive noticed some immediate improvements before and my aim has def got better But I have also have periods where the tasks I was doing weren't helpint and I didn't seem to be doing better.
@@derrickshowproductions3010i dont think it really helps your aim get better..it can make it more consistent because youre using it to warmup. your aim probably improved by just playing the game.
as a master IV in aimlab (started ruby IV) and diamond 3 in valorant, I can relate to this guy Even when i was master with a crispy aim in val, I was stuck at Plat. Then I got carried to diamond with a smurf and made a huge difference in my game sense and my confidence. as soon as you see you can duel with high elo andys and top frag on higher elos, its a path with no return for your confidence (wich is a fundamental trait)

I think he should play more deathmatches. It looks like his raw aim is good but not quite applying to his valorant play. I know that this helped me with aim training
His aim is good but again, the biggest problem is game sense/decision making. He went all the way up to gold because he has a good aim but that's not enough to attain higher ranks. What he should do is review his own vods and analyze pro players vods.
For 2 - 3 games in a row, it was either my teammates game's just lagging like hell or my ping randomly going from as smooth as can be to just me fuckin teleporting across the map
Was watching this video and thought about sending it to my wife, looked to my right and realized she was 2 minutes ahead watching the same damn video xD Gotta love eggwick
Aimlab gridshot doesn’t help with “aim” maybe reflex try the headshot training its little dots that train ur flicks, crosshair placement, and micro adjustments at the same time
I feel like in games like valorant consistency is everything. I’m someone who gets bored of playing the same game and constantly switches games. I will play for a week and during that week the first days I’ll be bad then I’ll get better and better and then i stop playing for a month, come back and repeat that process. I placed gold 1 during placements act 1 and I’m still gold 1 now.
the less you play, the more focused you'll get. just do like couple of competitive a week to keep you remember the mechanic and tactics instead of pedalling the competitive everyday.
so your saying your game sense didnt improve at all… aim can get you pretty far in val id say mid plat but if you have the game sense youll reach high diamond probaby immo 1. instead of auto piloting the game actually use your brain and think about it. its not so much as aim and shoot its not cod! i think thats what low elo players think playing like its cod and does not use util and when they do it usually fccks their team not the enemy
@@Jekker1435 Yeah that is usually what makes me fall away from Val and play other games. I will always try to have fun over playing to win. For this I will always queue unrated when I’m playing solo.
Same for me i get bored very easily, but For me when i come back from a break my mind feels clear and i can perform at my top. If i keep playing the game i get worse. This applied for league of legends as well i took breaks in spans of weeks and when i came back i was just on another level. I was pushing to diamond, but stopped at plat 2 (this push to diamond didnt last long it was like a week long but i was basically mvping every) after that one week i finally got too bored of league and ive stopped playing for a year straight :/ the thing is just in league ive played every champion and like every build possible and its not fun anymore because theres nothing interesting to do. In valorant ive had a phase for each agent too, but eventually got bored of all their playstyles. Thats when it really affects me, because i like the learning curve but when i’m over it, the game becomes to bland to play at a high level. Now in val im plat on 3 accounts and i got plat easily when i was in my neon phase. Neons playstyle really suited me but after a while i got bored of it as well :( now i dont play her. I was one hell of a crackhead during the phase i think i had like 28 headshot percent and i was just top of the leaderboard every-game. Honestly i probably could have pushed for diamond in one swoop during that period but i thought it was a fluke so i went to go get plat on other accounts just to verify i had the skill of a plat player. I can say i have the potential skill to play at higher levels im just held back by the inability to repeatedly do the same things.
4:30 very true, i have played a lot of valo(mostly unrated) to the point that i have the confidence to say I'm as good as a gold 2/3(but my rank is silver 2 *skull emoji*) but when i play in ranked, shit just go downhill. Probs cuz of me(or my random team) doin bad/nervous
First shot inaccuracy is a big problem in this game so i try to stop crouching and counter strafe instead. It seems to me that when he crouches is when he takes the most damage or dies
3:00 speaking of AFK in my matches, I keep track, and I have an AFK in about 17% of my matches if you include both teams, I'm like mid silver BTW 6:30 the fruit came before the color, which is why we call red heads red, when their hair is orange
I'm glad videos like this get made, especially for the bronze, silver, gold, and even platinum players., because these are the ranks where people have a few misconceptions. People in these ranks think that they aren't doing their job right if they aren't fragging out, and they think that they are doing their job right when they are fragging out, when in reality, the ones doing their job right oftentimes aren't on the top of the leaderboard. Subsequently, these are also the same players that think aim is everything... and those players are the ones who put too much value in aim-trainers. It's these players that don't understand the multiple paths to success in this game. To them - everything must be ego-peaked, everything must be swung, every engagement must be had, and if they lose, they think their aim is bad, or they blame their team-mates. All the aim-trainers realistically do is train your movement with your mouse, across your screen.
Man spent hundreds of hours on gridshot instead of DMing on val where you can get better lmao. Also, that's not 1% aimlabs players, he should have shown his ranks that would tell you top X%, anyone can spam gridshot with a higher sens and get a decent score :shrug:
In my experience in diamond-low immo there's an AFK about 2 out of every 10 games, and a thrower/ragequitter in another 1 out of 10 games, so there's a 30% chance you'll be playing 4v5. but on the flipside you might also get to play 5v4.
@@VultraV Maths isn't just additon lol. He's saying the chances of getting a thrower is 1 out of 10 games and the chances of an afk is 2 out of 10 games so there might be a case when the thrower and an afk are in the same game so you're playing a 3v5 and you get the other afk in a different game then that would be a 4v5. So that would ruin only 2 out of your 10 games that makes it 20 percent. There are other cases when it's 30 percent and 10 percent.
@@Matrix-lr2pb the overall chances of having at least one bad teammate are 30% in that case. It doesn't mean that every time there's not a thrower next time the chances would be higher. The chances are the same every time.
What matters in this game is reading the opponents and making a play based on that. Aim is like 20% of the gameplay. You will have a decent aim if you are gold. The rest is tactics. Ofc there are some exceptions. For example a Jett who can OP requires full aim can completly change the momentum of the game. Trust me if you spot her just avoid her and you will have a higher chance of winning. And play in Duo with close friends. That way you can have fun even if you lose. Playing with friends is always fun no matter if you win or lose (majority of the time you will win)
I was diamond rank, now ascendant. What I see with Plat and gold players is rather than aim, their mindset is the problem. They dont see their negativeness bring them down and makes them to miss even the easiest shots. Also teamplay is a huge issue in lower elos.
Aimlabs unfortunately doesnt give you any game sense or crosshair placement, I feel like most of the tasks don‘t do much for you in Valorant. The only thing I sometimes play is sixshot (basically Gridshot but the circles are way smaller - the enemies heads in Valorant aren‘t as big as the Gridshot circles anyways) and Headshot reflex
Actually playing Aim Lab helps you make mechanical adjustments to correct your crosshair placement. I would also argue that with any thought put into crosshair placement Aim Lab alone will help you understand it (especially if you play x-axis smoothness scenarios)
@@VultraV Doesn't really teach you angles for maps though, and even if AimLab has scenarios for that, the movement of the figures is not the same. And on top of that, no aim trainer improves your gamesense. I'm Diamond 2 in AimLab btw
@@troysmithfr the movement of the targets and player are irrelevant. A good aimer will be able to adjust for this. And also stop flexing your Diamond. I don't flex my Astra scores either.
Obviously it doesn't give you game sense or crosshair placement... it was never intended to. It's for training flicking, speed, precision, microadjustments. All the little nitty gritty mechanical parts to aim. Crosshair placement and game sense come from experience in the actual game. No one is arguing that aimlabs trains game sense lmfao
@@snes09 All Im saying is being a god in aimlabs wont get you to immortal/radiant in Valorant, obviously. And to get better in Valorant you have to train more than your aim
Orange the fruit came first. The word came into English either from Old French 'pomme d'orenge', or from the Spanish 'naranja' (with the subsequent transfer of the 'n' over to the indefinite article, as per 'apron' and 'adder', originally 'napron' and 'nadder').
I was at a point where aimlabs was helping me become more consistent with my aim. I used to do 9 hours a week on aimlabs for 4 weeks during ep3 val, and i peaked G3 98RR. After not using aimlabs and taking a break from comp (2-3 acts) I played better and it was an icebreaker for me to play other agents besides phoenix. But after all that i went back to aim labs recently and it completely demolishes my aim and crosshair placement, the next day i played i decided to not use aim labs and i popped off while queuing with the same people, next day i used aimlabs and sucked
@@Sjshshdbdbddb I'm pretty consistent, i play daily and i only ever notice my gameplay to be worse when i do aimlabs (which i dont play aimlabs at all, only as a warmup)
Thanks for helping me out eggwick. As a silver I have bad teamates and rely on their cooperation too much as a Yoru main. Definitely mailing Jett and Chamber now.
3:58 this is exactly how I feel, I’m in silver and no one can trade off me or like peek off me. I always have to push into site as a controller because no one else does, even my duellists don’t push in. I’m not saying this is the only reason why I’m silver but it’s definitely a big problem.
Here is my advise hope you see this :) -improve your movement for example I saw at 8:40 he was pressing the w button the faster he switches to the s button the faster he can get those one taps. Also learn peeking there are many other videos you can search up on that. -familiarize yourself with economy of valorant: if you win pistol round u gott buy 2nd round after 2nd round you should have won with the good equipment. 3rd round dont buy a vandal because they will also have vandals, try wining with the guns u have already, if you lose you can buy a vandal 4th round and then so on. -Aimlabs but you should also practice somethings in ranged because you can't practice recoil control in aimlabs, so what I recomend is practicing movement, recoil and if u want flicks in ranged too. (as a daily routine u can do ranged and do like 2-3 deathmatches with sheriff only) -Aslo I'm a sage main, so what I recommend is familiarize with the utilities of your agent. Like grim walls are insane if you have good aim, once you get used to them if you intend to continue playing sage, you will be a demon ;) -recording yourself to improve your game sence is always good. ask questions like "what should I have done instead" or "what more could I have done" its a lot not all of them are necessary but I put them in the order I would learn them. Best of luck reaching radiant 🤗
the thing about gridshot is, it doesn't convert to any fps scenario, if you want to aimtraing correctly 1 task you can do is sixshot, that one will help already with your aim, gridshot is a task that is just... there
the brim smoke at 6:53 wasnt that bad, because he knows where the spike is (when allies ping the spike) but the enemies cant see thruogh the smoke so brim had more info than the other yk ?
i did aim lab every day for like 2 weeks and then for last 2 weeks been just doing deathmatch/unrated and i think thats been my biggest improvement. But i only play valorant so im not trying to just have raw aim, but rather valo aim
judge round 2 is the move, aside from maybe breeze and icebox, where you can be too out in the open. There are some great rat spots in smokes or corners that fool lower elos.
Eggwick: did the colour come first or did the orange come first Me: See the colour of molten metals which is essentially what is under the earths crust is ora- Chat: The fruit
Im currently plat in val and also top 5% on woohoojins playlist overall actually being 0.8% and top 1% in many of the practices there. Aim labs doesn't matter that much
the problem that i have encountered in silver/gold/plat lobbies is that i trust my teammates too much, for example. If I die then you would normally expect your teammate to either trade or res you, however, when I die none of that actually happens and I just get tilted lol
Honestly he's not bad but definitely has more work to get to immortal or higher. Heres my analysis of each component: Aim: I think his aim is not bad but he did miss a fair number of shots like for example the reyna entry on A. He needs to practice micro which is what makes you good at the game. Gridshot does not force you to be accurate to the head. It only trains your mouse to be in the vicinity of the target. He flicks in the vicinity but takes a while to micro adjust but managed to get kills. You can see this on his fight in B site round 7. He flicks right but not onto the head which comes from practicing with too big of targets in gridshot. Same idea in round 14 in mis, needs micro adjustment practice. He needs to be able to flick onto the head to be on target so he needs much smaller target practice than gridshot. Positioning: Same round 7 as an example in terms of positioning. He exposes himself to those looking from kitchen. Standing behind that angle near the wall closer to snowman or further up under nest would have been safe from other angles like the one he got shot from. In rounds 11 and 12, he did not clear angles correctly. He didnt clear left on kitchen before peaking, and he didnt clear right on B main before peaking and died both times. Gamesense/decisions: One example is peaking chamber when he knew he had the op out is not a good decision. Another example is trigger discipline. His peak on round 10 was an easy 2 kill since they didnt know he was there. Quick 2 head taps should have been the play rather than fight and take damage. He also could change the angle he stands like being closer to base when the 3rd guy came out since thier cross hair would be there when they peak initially. He has a good start but theres a lot left needed to be worked on.
Gridshot is literally useless, u can aim fast asf to BIG circles, i aim train and i am gm on voltaic kovaaks, most important is how you aim to little circles, smooth corrections, and with good technique you add speed.
Tbh what you said about Jett/Chamber isn’t just good advice for improving while winning: it’s also just good advice for improving faster. Free exit from a duel = even if you’re losing literally every single fight, you’re taking twice as many fights per “life” as the other agents, which is basically just double practice
its exactly what you said at around 4:10 . you wanna enter a site as a duelist and the other guys just sit there instead of trading, or your controller smokes the entrance to the site that you want to use and now you have to push the smoke. low elo players have to understand one thing: the most important things in this game are decisiveness and team work. if one of your guys is gonna peek, you are better off peeking with him to at least trade the kill, rather than letting him die for free and then relying on him to give you the info, which he probably wont to. better to make a play together, even if its a bad one. also the whole orange vs mid thing is another important thing. try to say as few words as possible. you can say: mid under the tube, or you can say orange, which is 1 word and gives the exact same info. and also, if you arent sure about your info, dont say it. whenever i play in lower elos with friends it tilts me a lot when they give an info as if they are 100% certain of it and then they arent and i end up being baited edit: oh and the other classic pisslow move is to win pistol and then never buy. its just the dumbest thing ever, but it happens every game
If we are talking ranked, I am hovering between iron and bronze for the last couple acts and I don’t have too much play time with work and stuff. In two days I played about 3 ranked matches and the first was on pearl with an AFK Cypher. The second was on Ascent with an afk Reyna. I play the game for fun but it’s difficult to do that when we will typically have anywhere from 1-2 players afk by the end. I constantly find myself going against gold and plat players in iron/bronze lobbies with at least 1 person AFK. It doesn’t help that the enemies are always toxic too
9:50 yea counter-strafing will get messed up if you rely on movement in aimlabs, i would just stick to tasks that dont focus on movement and you get the most benefit out of aim trainers
Being a heavy equipment operator I gotta be paying very close attention and so that helps me a little but also sometimes I play without sound to work on my eyes but won't play any games unless I have headphones but I've been working on my weaknesses ie the vandal, marshal, and the sheriff and also my wall leaking and wall tracing needs fixing
Don't know why people get impressed by gridshot, heads are never that big in any game...flicking to the body means almost nothing at higher levels in any FPS u will just get headshot by someone with better aim.
i had a aim labs score of 125000 something, the sensi was high but i wasnt able to deliver the same thing in valorant, so i spectated optic yay and saw the stability in his aim, so i started playing on low sensi and i just pop off, 25+ kills in diamond immo lobby valorant is fun now
Imagine if he misses shots and whiffs but then the enemy say “aimlabs is free”
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Something that feels crazy, is if you hit a higher elo like dia/plat and then derank/not play for a bit, the elo that you're in isn't actually the rank you're playing at anymore.
So for some people stuck in gold, they're actually playing against people that are much better than this.
I've use aimlabs a lot but didn't see any change. I found that the practice tool in valorant is more helpful and more than you need.
facts and i also uninstalled it since it has always GBs of updates and range in val helped me better
99% sure you were probably using it wrong
If you just play gridshot you won’t get better
@@XM06 i uninstalled it because of the updates and i barely used it i know how to use it tho
@@snztr3178 what tasks did you do?
I have 200 hours, ive noticed some immediate improvements before and my aim has def got better
But I have also have periods where the tasks I was doing weren't helpint and I didn't seem to be doing better.
@@derrickshowproductions3010i dont think it really helps your aim get better..it can make it more consistent because youre using it to warmup. your aim probably improved by just playing the game.
What helped me with aim is get a more harder aimlab playlist and this make me still evolving
as a master IV in aimlab (started ruby IV) and diamond 3 in valorant, I can relate to this guy
Even when i was master with a crispy aim in val, I was stuck at Plat. Then I got carried to diamond with a smurf and made a huge difference in my game sense and my confidence.
as soon as you see you can duel with high elo andys and top frag on higher elos, its a path with no return for your confidence (wich is a fundamental trait)
aye, wanna pay it forward and help me get out of plat 3? lmfao

@@ksweew7476 not only that i can't stress enough that osu is 2d aim contrary to the 3d aim of kovaaks/aimlabs, and there may be some correlation, but being good at gridshot won't make you do 240bpm crossmap jumps
I think he should play more deathmatches. It looks like his raw aim is good but not quite applying to his valorant play. I know that this helped me with aim training
His aim is good but again, the biggest problem is game sense/decision making. He went all the way up to gold because he has a good aim but that's not enough to attain higher ranks.
What he should do is review his own vods and analyze pro players vods.
For 2 - 3 games in a row, it was either my teammates game's just lagging like hell or my ping randomly going from as smooth as can be to just me fuckin teleporting across the map

10:53 "I don't know how your eyes follow the balls so fast." top ten eggwick quotes
Aimlab gridshot doesn’t help with “aim” maybe reflex try the headshot training its little dots that train ur flicks, crosshair placement, and micro adjustments at the same time
This dude is every Neon main's worst nightmare
I feel like in games like valorant consistency is everything. I’m someone who gets bored of playing the same game and constantly switches games. I will play for a week and during that week the first days I’ll be bad then I’ll get better and better and then i stop playing for a month, come back and repeat that process. I placed gold 1 during placements act 1 and I’m still gold 1 now.
the less you play, the more focused you'll get. just do like couple of competitive a week to keep you remember the mechanic and tactics instead of pedalling the competitive everyday.
so your saying your game sense didnt improve at all… aim can get you pretty far in val id say mid plat but if you have the game sense youll reach high diamond probaby immo 1. instead of auto piloting the game actually use your brain and think about it. its not so much as aim and shoot its not cod! i think thats what low elo players think playing like its cod and does not use util and when they do it usually fccks their team not the enemy
@@Jekker1435 Yeah that is usually what makes me fall away from Val and play other games. I will always try to have fun over playing to win. For this I will always queue unrated when I’m playing solo.
@@bytedrop actually true
Same for me i get bored very easily, but For me when i come back from a break my mind feels clear and i can perform at my top. If i keep playing the game i get worse. This applied for league of legends as well i took breaks in spans of weeks and when i came back i was just on another level. I was pushing to diamond, but stopped at plat 2 (this push to diamond didnt last long it was like a week long but i was basically mvping every) after that one week i finally got too bored of league and ive stopped playing for a year straight :/ the thing is just in league ive played every champion and like every build possible and its not fun anymore because theres nothing interesting to do. In valorant ive had a phase for each agent too, but eventually got bored of all their playstyles. Thats when it really affects me, because i like the learning curve but when i’m over it, the game becomes to bland to play at a high level. Now in val im plat on 3 accounts and i got plat easily when i was in my neon phase. Neons playstyle really suited me but after a while i got bored of it as well :( now i dont play her. I was one hell of a crackhead during the phase i think i had like 28 headshot percent and i was just top of the leaderboard every-game. Honestly i probably could have pushed for diamond in one swoop during that period but i thought it was a fluke so i went to go get plat on other accounts just to verify i had the skill of a plat player. I can say i have the potential skill to play at higher levels im just held back by the inability to repeatedly do the same things.
I play like this guy but without the aim
As an immortal who has dropped to gold, I can say that this guy is decent, but his game sense is a bit off
quality resume
Yea Eggwick has milked your gameplay alot
The almighty KILLUA! 🙌🙂
Yo its killua...
How does that happen brother
4:30 very true, i have played a lot of valo(mostly unrated) to the point that i have the confidence to say I'm as good as a gold 2/3(but my rank is silver 2 *skull emoji*) but when i play in ranked, shit just go downhill. Probs cuz of me(or my random team) doin bad/nervous
i played 5-6 sliver 3 games today and 2 of them had an afk that was remade second round, and a third had a dude that crashed 5 times
First shot inaccuracy is a big problem in this game so i try to stop crouching and counter strafe instead. It seems to me that when he crouches is when he takes the most damage or dies
i spent on kovaaks, really worth my money, lot of exercises and i got to silver2 from hardstuck bronze
3:00 speaking of AFK in my matches, I keep track, and I have an AFK in about 17% of my matches if you include both teams, I'm like mid silver BTW
6:30 the fruit came before the color, which is why we call red heads red, when their hair is orange
hes not a 1% aimlabs player hes a 1% gridshot player lmao
Bingo. Gridshot is not going to help him get headshots
I'm glad videos like this get made, especially for the bronze, silver, gold, and even platinum players., because these are the ranks where people have a few misconceptions. People in these ranks think that they aren't doing their job right if they aren't fragging out, and they think that they are doing their job right when they are fragging out, when in reality, the ones doing their job right oftentimes aren't on the top of the leaderboard.
Subsequently, these are also the same players that think aim is everything... and those players are the ones who put too much value in aim-trainers. It's these players that don't understand the multiple paths to success in this game. To them - everything must be ego-peaked, everything must be swung, every engagement must be had, and if they lose, they think their aim is bad, or they blame their team-mates.
All the aim-trainers realistically do is train your movement with your mouse, across your screen.
I am immortal 3 and i have 1-2 afks every 10 game’s

Man spent hundreds of hours on gridshot instead of DMing on val where you can get better lmao. Also, that's not 1% aimlabs players, he should have shown his ranks that would tell you top X%, anyone can spam gridshot with a higher sens and get a decent score :shrug:
07:20 man seeing a floating mid sized red ball : hmm ive seen this before..
In my experience in diamond-low immo there's an AFK about 2 out of every 10 games, and a thrower/ragequitter in another 1 out of 10 games, so there's a 30% chance you'll be playing 4v5. but on the flipside you might also get to play 5v4.
You can have a thrower and an afk in the same game tho so it's not necessarily a 30 percent chance.
@@Matrix-lr2pb it is 30% that's how math works.
@@VultraV Maths isn't just additon lol. He's saying the chances of getting a thrower is 1 out of 10 games and the chances of an afk is 2 out of 10 games so there might be a case when the thrower and an afk are in the same game so you're playing a 3v5 and you get the other afk in a different game then that would be a 4v5. So that would ruin only 2 out of your 10 games that makes it 20 percent. There are other cases when it's 30 percent and 10 percent.
@@Matrix-lr2pb the overall chances of having at least one bad teammate are 30% in that case. It doesn't mean that every time there's not a thrower next time the chances would be higher. The chances are the same every time.
@@VultraV I think he talked about the chances of playing a 4v5 (basically a bad game)
i started val pretty recently and in 3 of my placement games there were at least 1 afk and at least 2 throwers in all 3 games
Gridshot isnt gonna help, you need to play with targets that vary in size, so it can simulate headshots
You need way more in aim training to really help then just that too. Look at Voltaic stuff thats a great example of whats needed
Bro his bands shots and sprays look like phantom
What matters in this game is reading the opponents and making a play based on that. Aim is like 20% of the gameplay. You will have a decent aim if you are gold. The rest is tactics. Ofc there are some exceptions. For example a Jett who can OP requires full aim can completly change the momentum of the game. Trust me if you spot her just avoid her and you will have a higher chance of winning. And play in Duo with close friends. That way you can have fun even if you lose. Playing with friends is always fun no matter if you win or lose (majority of the time you will win)
I was diamond rank, now ascendant. What I see with Plat and gold players is rather than aim, their mindset is the problem. They dont see their negativeness bring them down and makes them to miss even the easiest shots. Also teamplay is a huge issue in lower elos.
Aimlabs unfortunately doesnt give you any game sense or crosshair placement, I feel like most of the tasks don‘t do much for you in Valorant. The only thing I sometimes play is sixshot (basically Gridshot but the circles are way smaller - the enemies heads in Valorant aren‘t as big as the Gridshot circles anyways) and Headshot reflex
Actually playing Aim Lab helps you make mechanical adjustments to correct your crosshair placement. I would also argue that with any thought put into crosshair placement Aim Lab alone will help you understand it (especially if you play x-axis smoothness scenarios)
@@VultraV Doesn't really teach you angles for maps though, and even if AimLab has scenarios for that, the movement of the figures is not the same. And on top of that, no aim trainer improves your gamesense. I'm Diamond 2 in AimLab btw
@@troysmithfr the movement of the targets and player are irrelevant. A good aimer will be able to adjust for this. And also stop flexing your Diamond. I don't flex my Astra scores either.
Obviously it doesn't give you game sense or crosshair placement... it was never intended to. It's for training flicking, speed, precision, microadjustments. All the little nitty gritty mechanical parts to aim. Crosshair placement and game sense come from experience in the actual game. No one is arguing that aimlabs trains game sense lmfao
@@snes09 All Im saying is being a god in aimlabs wont get you to immortal/radiant in Valorant, obviously. And to get better in Valorant you have to train more than your aim
Orange the fruit came first. The word came into English either from Old French 'pomme d'orenge', or from the Spanish 'naranja' (with the subsequent transfer of the 'n' over to the indefinite article, as per 'apron' and 'adder', originally 'napron' and 'nadder').
for about 1 month i was Top 0.01% in aimlabs for flicking and was and still am a hardstuck diamond player
to the point of diamond its aim but later on its just teamwork
The enemy Reyna is actually my (distant) friend, he is a instalock Reyna and nearly always bottom drags while blaming the team.
I was at a point where aimlabs was helping me become more consistent with my aim. I used to do 9 hours a week on aimlabs for 4 weeks during ep3 val, and i peaked G3 98RR. After not using aimlabs and taking a break from comp (2-3 acts) I played better and it was an icebreaker for me to play other agents besides phoenix. But after all that i went back to aim labs recently and it completely demolishes my aim and crosshair placement, the next day i played i decided to not use aim labs and i popped off while queuing with the same people, next day i used aimlabs and sucked
You don’t suck cause of aimlab. Your just inconsistent
I doubt aim labs is the reason. You may have placebo fucked yourself.
@@Sjshshdbdbddb I'm pretty consistent, i play daily and i only ever notice my gameplay to be worse when i do aimlabs (which i dont play aimlabs at all, only as a warmup)
@@F1shKYT then it’s probs a mental thing. But actually playing aimlabs shouldn’t make you worse unless your playing it excessively.

Rip, bro I’m only emerald on aimlabs and ascendant 2, try using the range and dm more maybe idk
@@Jms02 kovaak is alot better than aimlabs
3:58 this is exactly how I feel, I’m in silver and no one can trade off me or like peek off me. I always have to push into site as a controller because no one else does, even my duellists don’t push in. I’m not saying this is the only reason why I’m silver but it’s definitely a big problem.
Here is my advise hope you see this :)
-improve your movement for example I saw at 8:40 he was pressing the w button the faster he switches to the s button the faster he can get those one taps. Also learn peeking there are many other videos you can search up on that.
-familiarize yourself with economy of valorant: if you win pistol round u gott buy 2nd round after 2nd round you should have won with the good equipment. 3rd round dont buy a vandal because they will also have vandals, try wining with the guns u have already, if you lose you can buy a vandal 4th round and then so on.
-Aimlabs but you should also practice somethings in ranged because you can't practice recoil control in aimlabs, so what I recomend is practicing movement, recoil and if u want flicks in ranged too. (as a daily routine u can do ranged and do like 2-3 deathmatches with sheriff only)
-Aslo I'm a sage main, so what I recommend is familiarize with the utilities of your agent. Like grim walls are insane if you have good aim, once you get used to them if you intend to continue playing sage, you will be a demon ;)
-recording yourself to improve your game sence is always good. ask questions like "what should I have done instead" or "what more could I have done"
its a lot not all of them are necessary but I put them in the order I would learn them. Best of luck reaching radiant 🤗
"Flow" walls
the thing about gridshot is, it doesn't convert to any fps scenario, if you want to aimtraing correctly 1 task you can do is sixshot, that one will help already with your aim, gridshot is a task that is just... there
whats with the 20 pages essay comments??
the brim smoke at 6:53 wasnt that bad, because he knows where the spike is (when allies ping the spike) but the enemies cant see thruogh the smoke so brim had more info than the other yk ?
i did aim lab every day for like 2 weeks and then for last 2 weeks been just doing deathmatch/unrated and i think thats been my biggest improvement. But i only play valorant so im not trying to just have raw aim, but rather valo aim
bro got my highscore in 20 seconds
He plays nothing but gridshot (literally useless) his aim is medicore at best.
For the color or the fruit orange question, oranges used to have a different name in like 1500 or something, so the color came first

Im currently plat in val and also top 5% on woohoojins playlist overall actually being 0.8% and top 1% in many of the practices there. Aim labs doesn't matter that much
the problem that i have encountered in silver/gold/plat lobbies is that i trust my teammates too much, for example. If I die then you would normally expect your teammate to either trade or res you, however, when I die none of that actually happens and I just get tilted lol
Honestly he's not bad but definitely has more work to get to immortal or higher. Heres my analysis of each component:
Aim: I think his aim is not bad but he did miss a fair number of shots like for example the reyna entry on A. He needs to practice micro which is what makes you good at the game. Gridshot does not force you to be accurate to the head. It only trains your mouse to be in the vicinity of the target. He flicks in the vicinity but takes a while to micro adjust but managed to get kills. You can see this on his fight in B site round 7. He flicks right but not onto the head which comes from practicing with too big of targets in gridshot. Same idea in round 14 in mis, needs micro adjustment practice. He needs to be able to flick onto the head to be on target so he needs much smaller target practice than gridshot.
Positioning: Same round 7 as an example in terms of positioning. He exposes himself to those looking from kitchen. Standing behind that angle near the wall closer to snowman or further up under nest would have been safe from other angles like the one he got shot from. In rounds 11 and 12, he did not clear angles correctly. He didnt clear left on kitchen before peaking, and he didnt clear right on B main before peaking and died both times.
Gamesense/decisions: One example is peaking chamber when he knew he had the op out is not a good decision. Another example is trigger discipline. His peak on round 10 was an easy 2 kill since they didnt know he was there. Quick 2 head taps should have been the play rather than fight and take damage. He also could change the angle he stands like being closer to base when the 3rd guy came out since thier cross hair would be there when they peak initially.
He has a good start but theres a lot left needed to be worked on.
Gridshot is literally useless, u can aim fast asf to BIG circles, i aim train and i am gm on voltaic kovaaks, most important is how you aim to little circles, smooth corrections, and with good technique you add speed.
6:13 i say b connecter cuz i used to play cs and thats what is called in cs because it connect b to mid
Tbh what you said about Jett/Chamber isn’t just good advice for improving while winning: it’s also just good advice for improving faster. Free exit from a duel = even if you’re losing literally every single fight, you’re taking twice as many fights per “life” as the other agents, which is basically just double practice
Improving on aim/dueling, that is. If you’re struggling with util, lineups, etc., don’t practice on Jett and chamber😅
Since everyone was talking about what they used to warm up. I used Minecraft and just Spawn a bunch of skeletons.
out of 10 ranked games low elo usually has atleast 2 afks, 3 smurfs, and a troller on average
he's good! i think maybe trying to move a little bit inbetween shots would help him loads in those 1v1s
Tbh, gridshot is the task I enjoy the most but is also the task I feel helps the least
its exactly what you said at around 4:10 . you wanna enter a site as a duelist and the other guys just sit there instead of trading, or your controller smokes the entrance to the site that you want to use and now you have to push the smoke. low elo players have to understand one thing: the most important things in this game are decisiveness and team work. if one of your guys is gonna peek, you are better off peeking with him to at least trade the kill, rather than letting him die for free and then relying on him to give you the info, which he probably wont to. better to make a play together, even if its a bad one. also the whole orange vs mid thing is another important thing. try to say as few words as possible. you can say: mid under the tube, or you can say orange, which is 1 word and gives the exact same info. and also, if you arent sure about your info, dont say it. whenever i play in lower elos with friends it tilts me a lot when they give an info as if they are 100% certain of it and then they arent and i end up being baited
edit: oh and the other classic pisslow move is to win pistol and then never buy. its just the dumbest thing ever, but it happens every game
today i realized the blue animal in the right bottom corner talks when the eggwick talk
If we are talking ranked, I am hovering between iron and bronze for the last couple acts and I don’t have too much play time with work and stuff. In two days I played about 3 ranked matches and the first was on pearl with an AFK Cypher. The second was on Ascent with an afk Reyna. I play the game for fun but it’s difficult to do that when we will typically have anywhere from 1-2 players afk by the end. I constantly find myself going against gold and plat players in iron/bronze lobbies with at least 1 person AFK. It doesn’t help that the enemies are always toxic too
After watching the first 2 mins of the video, I'm now watching Egg on 2x everytime
The buy in 2nd pistol is good then u can full buy next round if u win its actually a prx (buy i think)
I have 2 crosshairs one is little square, one is plus. When plus doesn’t work square does and the same goes for opposite.
Actually 3 I made one to look like the world government symbol from one piece. (The plus with the big circles on the sides)
Gridshot is not a good task for aiming/improving aim. It's a great warmup, but you wanna stick to 6shot and such
9:50 yea counter-strafing will get messed up if you rely on movement in aimlabs, i would just stick to tasks that dont focus on movement and you get the most benefit out of aim trainers
Being a heavy equipment operator I gotta be paying very close attention and so that helps me a little but also sometimes I play without sound to work on my eyes but won't play any games unless I have headphones but I've been working on my weaknesses ie the vandal, marshal, and the sheriff and also my wall leaking and wall tracing needs fixing
7:30 "brim cant aim anyway" sad brim noise (why are we still here just to suffer)
Don't know why people get impressed by gridshot, heads are never that big in any game...flicking to the body means almost nothing at higher levels in any FPS u will just get headshot by someone with better aim.
i had a aim labs score of 125000 something, the sensi was high but i wasnt able to deliver the same thing in valorant, so i spectated optic yay and saw the stability in his aim, so i started playing on low sensi and i just pop off, 25+ kills in diamond immo lobby valorant is fun now
