Aim train players are sore losers

I think it's pointless and a waste of time. It only helps a bit with mouse control, which you can achieve just by playing the game.

if theres a raze flying overhead, how do you effectively practice hitting them

Why waste time on that

Just play like 30 seconds in death match and then join the comp match

Experience > aimlabs KEKWW

everyone has their own method towards improving their aim, it helps address specific weaknesses with aim you can't train in game, there are pros who have kovaaks/aimlabs routines and there are pros who have 0 hours in aim training just preference in the end

Aim training players can be insufferable at times, and you can certainly improve your aim by just playing the game, but aim trainers are a genuinely faster method to improve your mechanics, which for someone like me who started playing FPS games at the old age of 18, has helped immensely

Aim trainers:

help the bottom 1% learn basics and the top 1% find edges over their opponents
help hit shit like flying razes, dashing jetts, people jumpspotting or jiggling, snap to util and go back to your original crosshair placement
improve your confidence as a player
can help target specific wekanesses
build awareness and focus for the game
when combined with deathmatch guarantee mechanical imporvement at a pretty steady rate

I don't get the hate or people jsut saying: "have expereince", like? not everyone started in fps and not everyon has been gaming for multiple hours a day their whole life. let people live and let them improve

i have fun playing kovaaks - voltaic benchmarks w music is one of the few things i still find fun on pc

also they help a lot more for certain games that are much more aim dominant i.e apex, i basically only play random fps games now like titanfall 2, old cods, battlefield, apex, ow and random roblox shooters lol - where aim is more important, i wouldnt say they improve u massively but they are fun imo

yeah i wish i didnt put hundreds of hours into aimlabs and kovaaks, the first 20-30 were perfect everything after that was useless and amde me worse

IDK as a former (now washed) radiant, honestly I never found them to be useful. I understand that some people have found success in using them, but whenever I tried to it would always just throw me off, mainly just cuz its hard to simulate in game val movement outside of the game. Like I can create and practice much more realistic val scenarios while making myself more accustomed to the niches of each weapon and movement patterns, while in aimlabs, its just like stationary clicking that feels hard to apply in game. That's just my two cents tho

It helps people with minimal experience in FPS gain basic mouse control, beyond that it's just a matter of playing whatever game. I've seen peak Ascendants aim better than me but don't know when to take fights or how to swing correctly in specific situations. (Hardstuck IMT3)

Says the bronze player

I can understand using kovaak's/etc as aim training and I don't think it's a complete waste of time but those that make it their sole personality are insufferable. I'm talking about those that consider themselves part of the "aim community" and treat their kovaak's leaderboard position like social status

Specifically whenever I think of kovaak's aim training I think of the "i'll see you in dallas" kid
