Sensitivity Discussion

As a former Immo 2 player and now aspiring pro I'll give my honest opinion on which sensitivity is better.

Low Sens

Low sensitivity is proven to be more consistent and gives you complete control of your mouse movements.
Ideal for arm users with slight micro adjustments made with the wrist.
Good for low elo players to learn crosshair placement as it forces you to have good positioning because you cannot turn or flick as fast.

High Sens

Many wrist aimers use this sensitivity as they feel comfortable using their wrist for both aiming and micro adjustments.
High risk of inconsistency due to over flicking
Highlight plays and flicks is one of the reasons a high sensitivity is ideal especially if you're good with tracking the opponent without moving your crosshair too much.

Overall, low sensitivity in tactical shooters are just better but personally it took me a while to go from just wrist aiming at 0.90 to now playing both wrist and slight arm at 0.14 1600 dpi.

TLDR: Consistency and competitive gameplay, low sensitivity and content creation + casual gameplay, high sens.

You can be comfortable but still be inconsistent at times. Low sensitivity just makes the possibility lower.

Aspas ain't the best player in the world. Also keep in mind this excludes pro players and is mostly aiming at the general player base sitting around below Diamond

He ain't no final boss. Less is the best player on the team and before Less, Derke and Leo are above.

It's the most unbiased ranking so far.

Leo is the MVP Best undisputed. Derke owned Aspas in Brazil. Less was MVP for Loud in Lock IN not Aspas.

Just cuz he uses a semi-high sens doesn't mean it's better.
There're so many more players with low sens

thats not a high sens though. even most high sens players aren't actually playing with high sens, its only high sens for val/csgo and similar games, not higher than 0.5 800, only a couple like forsaken and something are higher.

yeah sounds about right. im basically using the smallest microadjustments when im aiming. it can get inconsistent. but i used to have my sens at 2200 dpi and 2.25 sens so im slowly trying to lower it to get used to lower sensitivities.

1600 .175 is actually definitively the best sens of all time. Source: Tenz

the main upside for me of using high sens is being able to insta 180, very useful for if ur being pushed from multiple sides, holding behind then turning around to peek a new angle and situations like that

Improve your movement. You can counterstrafe and turn faster instead of turning your mouse all the way

am i stupid or are you waffling?
in what world does counterstrafing make my mouse move faster

repositioning while moving your character makes you harder to hit than standing in one spot and turning to look in a new direction without moving. thats what he means by counterstrafing and turning faster.

where did i say that im just standing still this whole time tho? i dont take my hand off the keyboard to 180

Because when you counterstrafe your hand automatically readjusts which allows you to make a faster movement on your right or left.

I use high sens (1600 dpi 0.22) = 352 edpi same as PRX jinggg because I only have a small desk. Low sens is hard if you don't have a large space / mousepad to move your arm & hand in so not everyone can play on low sens. I'm currently diamond 3 and hoping to reach ascendant if I just play more often T_T

This is considered high sens if you base it on the recommended eDPI range in valorant. Low sens 150 to 300 eDPI while high sensitivity players typically play on 300 to 450 eDPI
