Mixing in bursting and tapping especially with the vandal also helps a lot. Crosshair placement is also super important in regards to the whole crouching thing since insta crouch throws it off
@@sondo301_ i also had this issue where i couldnt really focus on my crosshair or crosshair placement at all so i went with a black crosshair and also turned off bullet tracers. Really helps.
@@vinogaunkoks word, that also works too. But I like my bullet tracers on just so I know where my bullets are going but I do know some people play with it off.
This blew my mind man! I always got scouted by my teammates, like, FOR GOD SHAKE, SIT DOWN, AND SHOOT. I tried to explain but nah... I'm still doing okay but I always get the blame. This video does make me feel better though. Thank you so much.
I want to add something here. Train your side tracking aim, don't train too much on flicking. Personally I just load up aimlab and practice/warmup on side to side tracking. It greatly helps your mental ability to counter strafe burst shoot
I started focusing a lot on movement a few weeks ago and have already improved a lot because of this concept. i used to struggle in dm and now i usually am top 3 or 4. it's given me way more confidence in comp. definitely implore anyone who wants to get better to focus on this if they haven't yet
I’ve seen countless videos with the same advice and I still go back to old habits and I have to catch myself and remind myself to stop crouching and spraying off the bat. I will keep practicing my movement and burst shots
Yea bc the tip to “unbind crouch” is absolute bullshit and is basically doing worse that helping you because all your doing is halting your crouching addiction instead of actually getting rid of it, the only genuine way to get rid of it is to keep it binded and condition yourself to strafe with crouch on and only crouch when needed, think if it like if you want to stop eating too much chips, you wouldn’t leave them off your table, you would have them around you, but condition yourself to not eat them despite being able to do so, if you just put them away, one day when your studying with someone and they offer a bag of chips, you can’t resist because now the bag is there, whereas if you left them on the table, you would resist because you have already conquered the fact that you have conditioned yourself to not give in to temptation with the product in front of you.
really good video, very detailed explaining, backing it up with examples of your gameplay etc just one thing to mention, all these things are actually known for many years if not decades by the cs community, i am kinda surprised people actually didnt know about this but nice for spreading this
I needed to deactivate my crouch binding for the first matches, that helped me. Thanks for the video, helped a lot. Simple tip, but powerful when you stick to it. And of course in some situations you need to crouch for whatever reasons but the main message is clear. ;)
Thanks for this! I'm actually gonna do this because crouching is like second nature to me already lmao glad to know that removing the crouch bind for a while will help 😂
No it won’t, you shouldn’t unbind crouch, other than other uses for crouch, simply unbinding crouch, isn’t helping your crouching addiction, it’s only halting it until yo7 decide to rebound it and you will rebuild the habit, the key is too keep crouch on and focus on conditioning yourself to it crouch with the crouch button, if you can’t do that, then you will never get rid of that crouching addiction.@@MightyFartBomber1
Bro you talk so easy to understand you, I'm from Argentina and sometimes is hard to keep going whit some videos when talk so fast, thank you and great video mate! You earned a new sub
This thumbnail is actually insane to think about... Players will overflick and strafe into the headshot (as they should) but it's just crazy how many people don't know this is the actual style of Valorant aiming. It's something that LOOKS wrong, but it very much isn't.
Sometimes when i play ranked i'd tell to myself that i will never crouch but i still do it that's why i always lose a 1v1 but then after watching this i realised it, Thanks.
this helped me out a lot. I always catch myself crouch spraying and that's why I lose my control. But when I saw this video, I learned a lot, and helped me out in the journey of my rank up. Thank you for this tutorial. Happy New Year and Stay Safe, Sondo.
Your voice, your channel and your informations are great. I'm using dot crosshair but when i started use dot crosshair, my sprays became so bad. Now i learned the reason from you. thank you so much.
Strafing made me way better. I can still remember 2 months ago where I stood still in range, always sprayed/crouched. Back then I was Silver I. Now I started strafing way more. Ofc I spray sometimes but mostly when I am near to an enemie or if I am being shot at, as it isn't to usefull if I am trying to strafe while I am slowed down and there is an enemie in front of me. Now I am Gold III and already got more kills than a lot of diamonds, some immortals or even a radiant and I got most of the kills from strafing and not spraying.
The only time I've noticed crouching being good is if the enemy holds those angles so well, crouch peeking throws them off so bad. Also crouch peeking in short range works so well
That’s true for some lobbies but once you get higher in rank people are just gonna flick down. Bc all they have to do is aim and shoot. If you are crouching that’s so much movement before you are able to shoot. So it’s tough.
@@sondo301_ I mean like. Compare flicking down to just tapping your head as you come out. It requires more work for you but so does for them. Peekers advantage plays a big factor too
@@sondo301_ The amount of time it takes for the person to process the crouch peek then flick down should be enough time for the peeker to react first and kill them if they are in an expected position
when u are using pistol vs gun (and if u have good aim) it`s kinda advantage. Specially in DM. Pistol has muuuch more move speed. So if you are not crouching and strafing correctly whilst aiming good, you move a looot faster and most of player are freaking out in deathmatch when they see someone with pistol. It`s psychological shit. they get more nervous ( how can pistol kill me mindset) and starting to spray.
you are right because in a deathmatch i played without crouching and i got 23 kills in 5 mins (in 5 mins because i was inactive till the last 5 mins of the match) and i was easier to counter strafe and kill enimies after using your tips ! thanks bro !!!!!!!
edited: subscribed already! you also don't have to panic "spray" everytime* you're gonna swing every angle, confidence is a must! i will support this channel!!
Did all of it except the 7 bullets spray it works so good atfter some practice in some swift plays. I only lost duells before, cause I mess up after my crosshair is on the enemy. Need to train more to keep it in real matches but cool stuff
i just started val and was searching up guides to improve aim. im just insta crouching cos im ass at controlling the spray, also cos my crosshair placement sucks so its usually at the body, which makes it worse, gonna try this tmr, hope it helps. would rlly appreciate if u could do a guide for total beginners (referring to those actually new to fps games unlike those that played csgo b4 or smth). thanks regardless!!
i just found myself dying instantly when i crouch just because people sometimes just dont aim at head hight. They have there crosshair somewhere random on body height and the second i crouch i just get headshotted.
I remember when I was new and I didn't wanna crouch. Then I learned to crouch and became better at the game. There r just certain times that u need to crouch. That's my biggest weakness
what i dont understand is how when i strafe and shoot my bullets go to the sky. But when i see people doing the same exact thing their bullets magnetize to my fucking forehead
you earned my follow and my respect brother. ill start practicing like you said. also hope i get to play with you someday and thank you in real time ♥♥
I am new to valorant but I heard many people mention skins make aim better is it just because of effects skins give or else they increase any actual stats of guns?
Some skins just fit the style people like. Either the Animation, Sound or the looks. They do not change anything about the stats. They are cosmetic only.
im kinda new to valorant and i never crouched in the first place but the enemy players always did so it made me think i had to crouch while shooting since everyone was doing it
Best tip is to unbind crouch. Even if you try and not crouch, you will do it due to muscle memory. Much better to unbind it and when you die because it didn't crouch, you learn it the hard way xD
It helps ALOT especially for people who crouch without even thinking, plus its just temporary. Long enough to break your habit of crouching until you get to a point where you can see the very specific times you should crouch like that kill of skye
Stop giving people such shit advice it pisses me off that low elo players listen to the common “unbind crouch” to get rid of the crouching habit because your not getting rid of it, your literally just temporarily getting rid of it, I guarantee you the time you rebound crouch you will crouch spray every single gun fight that it isn’t even funny. In order to truly lose the crouch addiction, you need to keep crouch and condition yourself to strafe with the crouch on and trust your strafing, and to only crouch spray when necessary.
I want to thank CSGO, csgo players and csgo influencers for teaching me this kind of thing 4 years ago. What the guy says is true but you will understand over time that squatting can be beneficial at certain times in a duel or to break an opposing line. if i can give you some advice. pros and good players move in a way that makes them VERY hard to hit when uninformed. If your opponent seems to take a long time to hit you or miss his first shot, even if you are engaged in a duel, before shooting, move a little right or left and kill him. He will not be able to spray you and will have a very hard time recalibrating himself on you.
As a content creator on Valorant coaching as well I would like to point out some stuff from your video. Everything from the first 2/3 of the video was amazing. The examples are well illustrating the points you are making. But the last deathmatch part in my opinion is not necessary as your video is suppose to be more hardcore and No BS as your title discribed. If you are trying to extend the length of the video I would suggest you to bring our more theory to help people understand the mechanics behind it. As we all know that classic against rifles are non-practical in real games and people in DM who cannot out shoot a classic means they are really bad. No matter if you are strafing or not. Overall, it would considered as more of a luck and you are shooting against bad players. This is not something you would advocate because people might misunderstood it. Where your actual point is that with counter strafing without crouching you migh even outshoot a rifle player. Just my personal opinion. My contents are not on UA-cam. I would love to discuss with you if you disagree with me. Because I want to be better on my content and video structure too. All the best

I hate that crouching is just a reflex at this point, so much so I just removed the crouch keycap entirely to prevent it
crouching is more reassuring and feels more satisfying to hit so ima stick to crouching
Okay you will get one tapped the more you rank up.

Anything under plat don’t crouch bc they have terrible crosshair placement. As long as you don’t stand still you will win 80% of your gunfights.
Thank you for this tip
I remember when I was new and I didn't wanna crouch. Then I learned to crouch and became better at the game. There r just certain times that u need to crouch. That's my biggest weakness
