Crouching

Is crouching considered a bad habit? When I first started playing I used to crouch at every shot, since then I’ve unbinded my crouch key. I notice that everyone in low Elo just crouch sprays you down.

In Valorant it is not very precise and the movement of the crab is slower than in CSGO, so you become an easy target to be shot down.

crouch after first 5 bullet spray

not just low elo, high elo too

crouching is a horrible habit, but usually its not too bad, by the time I hit imm it became more noticeable. I need to dm more where I unbinded crouch and didnt spray, the main issue isnt crouch but spraying. Spraying both standing up and crouching is very bad. Though generally speaking crouch spraying is very situational, you dont want to crouch spray at someone with cover as they will likely jiggle headshot you because they have already preaimed you and you cant move as easily.

idk why people look crouch shooting like its a forbidden thing

instead of crouching to control the spray, try counter strafing

this is why we all suck

i dont like crouching

I have a "little problem" with crouching. I don't directly crouch when spraying but I always do after the first 5 bullets or so. I find this very inconvenient when trying to spray transfer or maybe just normal spraying. I can't find anything to help with this. I tried to remove the crouch bind for around 4 days of playing but it just makes me worse. I also tried to make myself use counter strafing more often but I kept getting back to those habits. If anyone could help me with this it would be very great. Thank you!

most players are better off completely unbinding it and just playing like that

the only valuable usage of crouching (besides necessary movement) is crouch peeking and even that isn't some insanely handy tool

this game is about making yourself hard to hit above all other things
