deathmatch is 100x more valuable as training than shooting bots

at least2 games of DM to start the day and add at least 1 match DM before each game if you have time

and ffs use your mic

deathmatch sucks as a gamemode to try and win, its invaluable for practice

no, its not that good, the fights you take are unrealistic and it doesnt help too much unless ur like a really new player
i recommend it as a warmup but nothing more than that

shooting bots helps you get used to your sens and thats about it

DM you take fights against real people using movement, use proper crosshair placement, train your aim, train your movement and also lets you learn how to isolate fights

invaluable

actually, dm teaches u almost nothing as a large part of the fights are unrealistic, its a good way to warmup to get used to how the movement of the game feels but you absolutely should not spam it unless ur a high radiant

deathmatch is pretty bad, everybody holds angles and slowwalks, just a waste of time imo but i do it to just warm up and get used to hand movements and etc

thats the right way to think of it, I recommend doing the RAMP warmup before playing
good playlist that takes 15 mins and isnt only a warmup but also improves ur aim

i dont kinda like aim training apps, i think practice range provides it, maybe for tracking but i just do accurate tracing in practice mode for tracking training

i thought so too, I only did practice range until immortal, but trust me, tracking isnt the only benefit

if you use deathmatch, dont think like

kill = good, death = bad

think about each fight, if you get 1 tapped or someone is crouching somewhere, shrug it off and take the next fight

if you noticed you did something good in a fight like good movement, good crosshair placement, nice flick, focus on how you did it and try replicate it

good for u bro, I wouldnt recommend spamming dm to people because its literally terrible, gives u braindamage from how people play in dms and also prepares u for the wrong fights

spamming DMs is detrimental if you play mindlessly, what im saying is dont play mindlessly and its very good for training

you're just not using DM properly, it's the best way to apply your aim training and expand on it with movement and overall game sense

buying sheriff on reyna for pistols is wrong and probably what all pros will tell you too, you have a heal when it's hard to kill people in pistol rounds due to less damage.

u need to incorporate more dms into ur warmup routine, yes people just hold angles but ull js get used to it and stop thinking ab dying so much, its just for warmup
dont use hard bots for operator thats literally useless
training flicks is also useless esp at this level just forcus on getting ur crosshair to ur opponent first then shoot

ur raw aim is definitely not that bad but could use work
idk what ur astra is doing this game
u mentioned it but definitely comm more no comm reyna for the whole match is interesting
-crosshair placement
why are you buying a sheriff pistol round on reyna? and even worse going mid with your sheriff? if your going to buy a sheriff at least play like b long to try and get a pick and utilize the sheriffs value
same with the op too i dont get why u buy an op just to watch an 20m angle when b long is literally available and one phoenix flash and ur basically fucked, as evident
use ur dismisses more wisely
ur aim is sluggish at times and ur not like clearing angles properly and checking them
u walk out doors and turn ur back out knife out against mid top to go to art thats like a 4 second window for their lurker to take one peek and ur dead
theres def more things to point out this is js my basic skimthrough

If you are not going to communicate what even is the point of warming up?
It will always prevent you from being better.

idrc about comming or whatever you know it gives you a disadvantage and that’s your prerogative

your flashes are horrible though i was annoyed from the start and they never got any better, esp if you don’t have a dive duelist you need to be the tip of the spear flashing into sites and sending it

also your mechanics are fine, better than plat fs, but not so much better that you should expect to be crushing lobbies on aim lol. it’s like standard diamond low sens player

i don't play duelist if this helps i use my flashes to really setup my teammates(habit of playing ini),

i get it but if you don’t take space nobody on your team will. the round where you burned both flashes in a-main then said we cant hit the site was biggest offender — of course you cant hit if you waste them crossing the starting line

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP-dcR9SAIU

watch this, every time he flashes he’s literally leaping forward through smokes into fights no matter what to open the site
