Keep in mind, for BAD aim (not inconsistent), aim training through 1. Ranked, 2. Custom games like Tryhard FFA, Aim Arena, and VAXTA, as well as checking your sens through helpful videos like this (czcams.com/video/GppILMVaNVE/video.html) is crucial!
All you gotta do is wait till season 9 where the bullets will all be the size of Doomfist's thighs (gawwddamn), and then you can't possibly miss. Thank me later.
Can I thank you now?
every morning i wanna hope the leaks are fake but ik they wouldve denied it already if it was 😭😭😭
@@PoisedHD why?
@PoisedHD since the beginning of 5v5 I've asked for larger health pools. The ttk in ow1 felt great to me. In OW2 it's been a lot faster.
@@blackpope8834 But you're not everyone. Most people aren't asking for larger health pools or larger bullet sizes... Most people want less damage spiking and less intense healing. The leaked patch notes are being negatively received by many because they do not target the issues that most people in the community have with the game.
The saying "you miss all the shots you dont take" is such a real thing in fps games. If you dont push yourself and at least TRY to go for that mercy GAing or try to hit that genji after his dash, youll never get better. The more shots you try to fit in EVEN IF THEY MISS will help build your muscle memory. Just throw out some flicks and see what you can do.
i been doing this lately and its helped tremendously. i was awful at doom, could not his shots and was not confident at hitting my punches. now im starting to consistently hit mid GA mercys, jumping baps, etc. Not super consistent since its better to just wait for them to slow down, but needing to make those plays makes me more comfortable doing the safer plays
@demifolk8940 I'm a doom main so everything you're saying is my exact experience 😂 for real tho sometimes you gotta do a 180 or 90 degree flick on doom to get just a little bit of extra damage with your gun.
In my experience leaving team and enemy voice/text chat has helped immensly. I can't get tilted by other people flaming the team, I can't get flamed, I can't flame anyone. I can actually focus on the game and my own performance. That has made me way more consistent because it blocks out so much mentally draining stuff. People might not think it's a good idea to almost shut out any communication with the team, but I think it's worth it. This is something I started doing very recently, and it's been great with helping my consistency, and also just my enjoyment of the game. It's way more fun when you don't have people being constantly negative which is very prominent in gold/plat where I'm at
you really only need pings and voice lines for communication, especially at low to mid ranks. its especially important to just focus on yourself. unfortunately, you have to get a good mental in order to climb since you will eventually need to communicate. maybe not in voice chat but at least having team chat open
I think it's far better to just no get tilted. You will also miss pings in text chat when you turn it off. You took the easy route, should instead build some mental fortiude. The rare instance someone is actually talking in my plat/diamond games, they aren't abrasive most of the time. If they aren't cordial, use mute + block. That's why these features exist. I don't see why keeping out the good players too would help your enjoyment of the game.
@@mycelia_ow Blocking everything doesn't just prevent tilt, but also allows me to be more focused. To me it feels like it becomes a single player game where everyone might as well just be controlled by the CPU. There's 0 pressure on me and I feel that makes me way more consistent. I don't feel judged by bad plays because who's gonna call me out on it? I can take responsibility myself without people putting salt in the wound. That makes it easier to move on from mistakes without letting them get to me i.e. I stay foused. Not only has it proven to be a benefit to myself but also my team. They have a teammate that can more consistently have up time. I die less because I don't force plays. I'm more patient because I don't feel the same need to perform. So far, I've not seen or felt a single downside to this
You've put into words a lot of what I've been thinking and doing. I play ranked when im in good physical and mental condition. I often meditate prior to playing and if I get tilted, I'll take a break, meditate and try and process my errors and try and be better next time. I've noticed the best players still mess up on their tech (leading to deaths/losses,) so it helps me to be more forgiving of myself. Thanka for all your content, one of the nicer content contributers out there.
this is the path
Great video! I always appreciate how comprehensive you make everything, Spilo.
I have started to notice some of the things you've talked about in my own experience. When I wake up with all day to play, I very become very fixated on performing well and start overthinking / focusing on my inconsistencies a lot compared when to waking up on a work day with an hour in the morning with the mentality of "i'm just gonna play a few round. before I leave". I feel like I play so much better because I don't focus on all my inconsistencies.
I usually run into the issue where I start off really well. I win a few games in a row, I play better than everyone in the lobby, and eventually someone does or says something that throws me off, and I begin to spiral, tilt more and more, and then all of a sudden I'm 4-10 after rage queuing and I can no longer think about the actual game, just about how much I hate myself, my teammates, and the enemy.
I just started to play without vc and disabled chat, so less stress without toxic whiners
I am the toxic whiner. Even without chat on I incessantly bog myself down with my own negativity until I feel like I wanna break something.@@odra873
That's why you only play a few games of ranked a day if you want to climb. Rule of thumb is If you lose 2 games in a row you stop. no exception. Play unranked if you still wanna play but this way you are guaranteed to climb
Idk man i feel like if you don't like really sink your teeth into comp you'll never truly get better. Like you just gotta keep rage queing until it works.@@pancakelover5285
Bad diet can lead to brainfog which has a massive impact
8:35 applying all of the advice in this video to irl issues and mental health actually feels really helpful to me, and i find a lot of spilo's videos that cover the more psychological side of overwatch can be applied in the bigger picture, not just ingame. idk if i got my point across at all but i tried. these vids have been helping me a lot in that regard, so thanks coach spilo ^_^
Watched this, and realized the correlation between days where I don't give a shit and having good aim. I had wondered why my best aim days were while playing drunk? (not even joking) Been playing two hours since then and I definitely have noticed a huge difference. I went from being too scared to lock widow in quick play, to now doing so and winning as well.
As some context, I'm a gm3 peak quick play warrior and I mostly play flex dps (genji, junkrat, mei etc.) Therefore my qp games are usually gm as well adding to the insane amount of pressure I put on myself to begin with. I definitely have a massive thing with missing easy shots, and immediately starting to massively overthink every shot, which eventually lead to tilt.
For once I actually feel like I walked away from a coaching video feeling like I learnt something so significant, that I feel like I can also apply to other aspects of my life. Thanks coach.
This video really hit all the point I've been struggling with and then some. W vid
The problem many people have is that they don't play to see the victory screen, they just want to avoid the defeat screen at all costs. Which makes wins less rewarding and losses more devastating
Thank you spilo
Don’t know if he brought this up but if you’re on pc, make sure mouse acceleration is off. I didn’t know about this when I first got a pc and it made my aim inconsistent. I somehow played for years without knowing about it😭
thanks dad
I'm doing many of these and it's really working. It's funny when you stop caring, suddenly you do a lot better. I've climbed up more than a full rank just by caring a bit less.
An unexpected consistency maker for me is warming up by playing a couple games of Rocket League first. I have no RL mechanics at all and I'm at a very low rank in it, but it's a fast game and I like to play it with patience, so it gets my fast play and thoughtful play into a nice balanced state before entering OW.
the key to missing less shots is to take fewer shots. And the key to taking fewer shots is to play less of this game. And the key to playing less of this game is to uninstall.
I was waiting for a video just like this. We have 3 DPS players on our team, and depending on the day I am both the best and worst mechanically. I'm inconsistent AF
Dude I came here to learn how to aim better and this is genuinely great life advice that applys to more then OW xD Love your content!
Oddly, a handful of times I have felt most comfortable mechanically (looking back at it) was when I was sort of on low sleep. Not that this is a good thing, but I think my brain operating on a lower power level helped, in these specific scenarios, quiet all the other "distractions" you mention that shift my focus away from just playing the game. I remember thinking exactly the next day like huh, maybe playing a tiny bit "brain dead" in a sense is more comfortable. Hope to develop this more when I am more awake and healthier. I'm sure stuff like good exercise and meditation would be great outlets for quieting the mind.
When tired you can become much more relaxed and zen. You can achieve this without sacrificing your sleep through meditation. Try it!
I think you could add physical exercise to the list as well. Even just a quick brisk walk for 5-10 minutes can do a lot, and promotes learning as well.
Michael Jordan once had a saying that went something along the lines of, "I didn't get good at shooting because I made a large number of shots in practice, I did so because I MISSED an even larger number of shots and lost before."
Even pros, whether in a video game or in a physical sport, will not be able to pull off certain mechanical tasks - not because they're bad or inept, but because the task itself can be inherently difficult. And when you wish to compete and improve, you are going to have to take increasingly more difficult shots to push those limits - and you will miss.
Lucas Botkins of T. Rex Arms - An extremely skilled firearms shooter - has also mentioned that if he's landing all his shots within the Center "A" Zone and none land in the Outer "C" Zone of his targets, he's only taking shots at a slow pace or short distance that make the shots too easy, and thus he isn't training correctly because he's not pushing any limits, which is what you need to do to improve.
In short, you NEED to miss. To not miss a single shot at all would be to only take the easy ones, which gives no value.
As a lucio player I have insanely good aim and movement and people always tell me, a lot of the time I’m told I should start streaming, but whenever my daily routine is disrupted or I force myself to play when I’m tired or not fully focused or “ready” to, I play very inconsistently and start playing really passive even though I have a hyper aggressive play style, it makes me feel like I’m doing poor performance wise even though I’m not actually doing that bad, I just know I can do WAY WAY WAY better, I end up tilting easier and playing worse as the day goes on, I can’t stress this enough that having a healthy life outside of gaming can be a huge benefit to when you do play games
"health - not a priority"
-Spilo 2024
Hey, I was thinking while watching this video, and it would be interesting to see you have a chat with healthygamergg. I don't think I've seen him talk to an esports coach yet. I imagine your interactions could bring a lot of value to the audience. :))
I think what causes my inconsistency is the time my crosshair is lined up on the target and the fire rate of my weapon get misaligned. If I miss multiple shots in a row, I take a moment to remind myself to only press m1 when I'm ready to shoot.
Are there any resources for movement on tank? The large hitbox leads me to either mirror, or use tight AD strafes.
thanks, this is super helpful. yesterday, played dps and could not get comfortable playing my mains. i was missing so much, kept tilting. didn’t even tilt queue tbh, only played 3 games but i played so bad in all of them. im high plat, maybe like plat 1 or 2? play on console, but people hit their shit on console way more than pc players think.
but yea that shit made me so upset at how bad i was playing, then it hit me that i was playing fucking DOOM non-stop this past week and barely had warmup on my hitscan dps. I play ashe a lot and i realized i have barely touched her. gonna get used to her again and get my comp games in before the comp reset. her and genji are my comfort picks but playing genji is fucking miserable in plat
edit: also wanna add more point, i think “panic shooting” is another point. sometimes people choke when an enemy is low and they start panic shooting instead of slowing down and carefully lining up their shot.
Video on when to off angle and when to not
Been playing since release of OW1 and until like half a year ago I used to have a warmup routine for practice range. I actually got really upset when they made the firing range and changed the bots timings. Anyway... I did this every single time before Id play a game. Widow (flicks, air shots, crits), Cass (flicks, crits), Ashe (flicks, crits, dynamite shooting, aiming during coach gun animation), Ana (scoped/unscoped, sleeps), Mercy (before rework GA tech), Tracer (one clipping, ult blink stick), Genji (dash melee, resets, aim), Hanzo (flicks) and Ball (wall jumps). I got pretty good aim and it looks even funnier because my sens is at 61 with 1k dpi. So some friends compare this to an aimbot and regularly enemies when they see the kill cam ask if everythings fine or accuse me of hacking because it just looks so snappy. But yeah that daily routine made my aim pretty good and I play pretty much all heroes. I just dont recommend players to start with a routine like that. Focusing on fewer heroes might be a good idea
Based fucking guide. Common Spilo W
Take a shot every time he says consistency
My personal problem is that I go into a flow state for about 30 seconds then I notice. When I notice I overthink and then it leads to messing up. Is there any way to improve this
Spilo isn't an Overwatch coach. He's a life coach who happens to cover Overwatch. 🤣
Just play OW 16 hours every day consistently and you’ll improve 👍🏻
He's the best ms paintin user
I didn't know u could draw in text boxes and th is that menu
Instructions unclear, I still miss her…
so what im understanding is, that as human beings we can never be consistent...
you know what this means...
The moment I understood the weakness of my flesh....
Nah, I'll stay in denial and rage over getting diffed as McCree and Wm. Just got a K65 MINI after my Alloy FPS Pro gave up on me punching it all the time. That's my process.
Sleepmaxxing is a real thing
how to get better at overwatch: stop living like a mountain dew gremlin
My guide is to get the devs to increase my aim artificially 😂
Basically the bell curve meme
caveman: haha just play game
soyface: SLEEP STRESS DIET HEALTH PLAYTIME HERO WARMUP TILT FOCUS OVERTHINKING CONFIDENCE FOCUSING ON THE INCONSISTENCY MOVEMENT
enlightened: haha just play game
Lol but if I go to 8 hours of sleep instead of 6 I'll lose half my playtime for the day.
Spilo teaching people how to not miss shots is like a blind man teaching you how to shoot a basketball. It's certainly possible that the blind man knows how to shoot the basketball, but he ain't hitting a 3-pointer if you know what I mean.

Meh blizzard got my back bro,, they gave official hacks for everyone with season 9 patch😂
0:50 if flats proved anything, it doesn't stop you from getting to gm 😂
