Staying calm is probably the hardest part; lose your nerve and no amount of aim training will undo bad decisions
Yeah, I find physical, mental condition is by far the biggest factor for me.
If I am tired, hungry, frustrated, angry, sleepy, I suck at games.
hundred percent.
warzone made me realize how jittery i really am especially under pressure. after improving that issue, I got better at fps AND irl sports.
Tilt factor 100% exists, fatigue and actual health as well
Makes me think of playing Destiny 2. I know the movement is different but it is so frustrating being smooth at CoD and other fps games.
Multiple times my aim has saved me from terrible decisions
man every video i watch from this channel just reminds me of why he's so good. Like not only the production quality but also the way he can talk about things and not only give information concisely but also entertainingly, really loved the filming at 7:00 :D
not to mention he's both jacked and cracked at fps
i saw that angle and i was like "why is that angle so hard"!!!
Mr Robot style shot
S+ Tier quality content no doubt
Exactly !!! This channel is actually really really good
Bro got so many monitors, peripherals and a good pc but hasnt activated windows yet😭
You should have waited for 365 hours
Heh i see what u did there 😏
Why?
Why not another 4 hours? Make it 369 😂
He could still change the title.
Man could not take more than 352 hours
Show us your workout routine
Exactly, what I thought. 😂
Pushups situps and plenty of juice
And your cycle haha (kidding kidding… unless?)
Im just gonna assume he warms up with 225 on the bench or does heavy weighted dips
@@KillerInstinctCS2 Not everyone is on juice. It's just insulting to assume that.
Banger video! I love how you place emphasis on prediction/movement/calm. Couldn't have worded it better myself.
it’s the banana
banana
does better pc help?
Wow I thought of banana and I got banana
I dont agree with a lot of what he said, i think aim training is CRUCIAL and if you don't do it you cannot perform well in any shooters ...its just not going to happen and the aim trainer is teaching you basically how you can control the mouse wich is a huuuge fing deal, you can even play with different sensitivities and you still can aim since your control of the mouse becomes so good! I play fortnite, after the aim training i don't only aim better, i can build better i can move better , i can do everything better, my awareness is better it improves every aspect of the game and well lets talk about how confident you are when you know you can hit your shots, youre not going to shake youre going to be calm because you know you can beat anyone, if you have a bit of talent and some game sense after 1 year of 1 hour/day you can beat anyone ...you might not be the best player but you can kill anybody in any fing game it doesn't matter how god the pro is! you might win 1 out of 10 but you still do it! So you cannot play shooters without an aim trainer and do well, you can beat your friends but not a good gamer! GGS!
Thanks to you and your work I have rediscovered my passion for FPS games, train my aim, look for improvements in tactics, etc.. I also realized that my peripherals are not the best for the games I play and I replaced them.
Coming off of solely playing cs, my tracking was absolute dog shit when I started playing apex. Kovaak's helped immensely with smoothing out my aim and reactivity.
Just some tip on the tracking side... Start with Centering/Smoothing. They're on the easy side, and set up the fundamentals for tracking. Before you can react to fast strafes, make sure you can track smoothly first or else you'll just have shakey tracking that can't react to direction change. After you're comfortable with Centering, go crazy on tracking scenarios. Ground Plaza, VSS, Long strafes, fast strafes, dodge strafes, xyz/sphere tracking, etc.
I didn’t realize there was terminology for it lol
Tracking is probably the biggest differentiator for raw aim. The first to fire usually wins, but when they don't, tracking makes the difference.
For game specific, if you look at every metric in CSGO, positioning is by far the starkest difference between high and moderate ELO.
Tracking is mostly important in hero and arena shooters, you need spray control in CS and you can't really spray at all in Valorant. For those games, crosshair placement is more important.
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the variety of your content. Love your main "core" stuff, but also the kind of "one offs" like this video.
I stopped playing multiplayer FPSes years ago and subbed for SFF PC stuff but all of Optimum's videos are just so engaging
I like this channel just surprise me, he keep trying something new, not only to review systems hardware right now, but also sharing some "gameplay experience" using this same editing style. I'd like to see the future in this channel, especially the name is not 'optimum tech', is just "full optimum"
One of my favorite and humble channels, thanks mate, thumbs up 👍
I recommend looking into the voltaic benchmarks. Mastering mouse control goes way deeper then just all of the most popular scenarios. Advanced raw aim skill translates into any game. Better aim wins fights
but as he said, if u hit top 5% its enough for your game
Just play.
@@mvlaris Your game? For what rank in that game? Predator, radiant, I donot think so)
@@happy-gq2kw omg u dont need top tier aim to get pred or radiant, gamesense is way more important in high rank than mechanics and for that top 5% is more than enough homie
@@happy-gq2kw LMAO you dont need good aim to hit radiant, hell theres even pro players with completely mediocre aim
I think the most useful scenarios for aim trainers are one getting into FPS games on PC so that you can dial in settings and whatnot to find what's comfortable to you, but also to warm up in games that may not have a good warm-up lobby such as OW while you queue or CS with workshop maps.
Great video, it's a novel feeling to see you talking about something I worked on for years. For anyone like me who has visual floaters/snow or has trouble perceiving the 3D space with solid colored walls, there's a visual theme in-game (settings>visuals>theme) called "Struth Dark" that may help out.
Love seeing two of my favorite channels on the same video/thread. You're the fps youtube instructional goat bro
@@calvinstevickbrown8171 Thank you! Much appreciated :)
great takes and really enjoy your clips 💕
Kovaaks has alot of movement scenarios aswell, they usually have "Dodge" in their name, u get score for hitting the target but also for movement. Some only give u score for mirroring, some only for anti mirroring, and some just general distance traveled to keep you moving constantly.
I'd suggest trying out Voltaic Benchmarks and Fundamentals. Improved my aim significally.
Haven’t commented much but I love how cleanly edited and how informational your videos are!
I agree with everything in this video. I can say that my aim is miles better when i am using aim trainer consistently. I also love to test DPI/Mousepads/Mouseskates/mouse/desk and chairhight and for that thats absolutely amazing. Great content as always so kinda unnecesary to writ it.
This is a pretty excellent video. Well thought out, interesting, and informative with some practical take-aways. Top notch!
Thank you for making this video and not baiting people into "aim training gave me aimbot." I have 437 hours in Kovaaks myself and I've only been on PC Mouse and Keyboard for not even 2 years. I worked my way into Voltaic Diamond and I'm working on getting Voltaic Jade at the moment. Aim training has helped me improve faster I believe. Like you said, playing scenarios that frustrate you rather than compliment you is the way to go. Optimum, do you know what your voltaic rank is?
Very qualitative video.Thanks so much as myself included never really thought of "How prediction affects aim"
I feel that one of the biggest issue with aim training is that people don't train the correct task(s). I don't care how high your score is on gridshot, it's not going to make you better at Valorant. If you're trying to hit insane flicks you're probably playing the game wrong to begin with.
I wouldn't be caught dead playing that shit but I feel the same thing definitely applies to Hunt: Showdown. But I'm still aim training for it because I suck so bad.
This is one of the best subscribtions I have ever clicked, you keep on making awesome videos.
Great Video! I personally didn't really game much in my infancy and I my bros always were way better than me. I definitely feel like they accelerated my improvement. Nowadays I even hit tricky shots sometimes.
Great video! could not be said any better
Great video as always
You nailed this. Great video
1:40 I just love this shot. The monitor perfectly blocks the reflection of the camera lens.
Love the videos keep up the good work!
"Nice aimbot optimum, how much you pay for?" is probably the best compliment someone can get in an fps.
for people wondering, its at 7:45
Thanks for the Input, cool Video! You have earned yourself another sub!
What the hell! Someone’s been hitting the gym! Looking good bro keep it up!
no bullshit, just quality content from the first second of the video, nice !.
you actually keeping esports alive
thank You
Love the video man! I wanna ask you if you're gonna do an in-depth review on the new HSK pro 4k mouse from g wolves? Would love what results you get with all tests including dpi deviation
i put about 100 hours in kovaaks, started seeing diminishing returnes after about 50 hours, but it helped me a lot. I still play from time to time and find it fun kind of in a hypnotizing sort of way constantly clicking targets.
For beginners it definitely helps specially to have some notion of the mouse movement, I started playing Apex like a year ago and before that I had no experience in fps shooting games...
Your channel convinced me to go from 10cm/360 to 30cm/360 and aim trainers definitely helped me to make that switch feel comfortable within an hour or 2
you also need to consider the tasks you are doing. In gridshot high sens is like cheating. The point of aim trainers is to hone your control of your mouse not the getting the highest score
I'm really surprised you were even able to live with 10cm/360. How did you (and even now still) live with having to deal with unexpected flanks, like ~180° turn + mouse adjustments?
@@keppycs Skittlecakes the apex pro uses 10cm/360
Tbh sens should be game dependent, you don’t need ultra high sens for, say, Valorant vs OW
@@jeremy1933 I'd have to fully disagree with you on that. I'd argue your Xcm/360 should be the same in every game, solely for consistency sake. Though if you're not all that serious about your aiming capabilities, simply use whatever. In the end it's all personal preference
This video was interesting! I’d like to watch more videos like this.
I have only just started aiming training this week and am almost too 600 in flicking speed this vid has helped and got me into aim training
just love how high-end are these videos
I've found that it helps to break bad aiming habits too, i put a flick shot trainer on in overwatch and use a metronome starting really slow like 50bpm then 60bpm only moving up once i've been able to hit 100% of the targets within a certain timeframe.
Thanks for the vid mr optimum
i was wonder about " can aim trainer help you in actual gameplay", thank you for posting such an amazing videos
Speaking in Fighting Game terms as that’s where I’m proficient in. Aim Trainers are like the training modes or more commonly called labs. Figuring out & optimizing combos to be ready for any possible scenario.
Lab monsters are like the brains way of playing it but what happens when you’re playing someone who has insane dexterity to just parry everything efficiently as their body is in the zone. Or someone who’s been conditioning/gaslighting you to do what they want you to do. Or they’re just an Unga Bunga Gorilla.
In the heat of battle, you need all of them.
Staying calm. There was times where I was on pace to decimate my PR in game and kovaaks and I'd lose full and just choke. Any tips to control breathing and prevent fatigue?
The best part about aim training as you can see, you get ripped as this guy😎
Optimum never misses
A tip that I heard that helped me if you have been playing for awhile and your mouse control still isn’t where you want it to be go into a aim trainer do 2 to 4x your sense 30 45 min and then go back to your actual sense and I seen some pretty big improvement off doing that.
At first I didn't believe that aim trainers were a necessity, I climbed to immortal 3 in Valorant without doing much training at all, however after stumbling on to the aiming community, its changed my perspective fully. Here I am now, over 200 hours in aim labs in the 99.9th percentile and let me tell you what Optimum said really does apply. If you are already a high rank and are getting decent scores in the your runs (95% percentile or higher) I strongly suggest you focus more on things you can improve in game, weather that be game sense, movement or anything else which you think could be improved. Aim trainers act as great tool to refine your aim. I recommend creating a playlist or maybe even finding one online that suits the game you are playing and also the skills you want to improve (static/flicking/tracking) and spending no more than 30 minutes practicing before you que into your ranked matches. If you are consistent with this I will guarantee that you will see improvement. As said in the video, don't be afraid to experiment with different options (sensitivities, FOV , monitor position, desk height or even different mice to see what suits you. consistency is key to improving and ranking up.
What scenarios do you train for Valorant
Being called an aimbot the highest of compliments
Stuff like this proves how out of touch I am of today's gaming culture even after having 37+ years of experience in it!
Damn are you 50 or something??
Can't wait to see the new Asus x Aimlab mouse test :D
Great video!
Honestly you really make the best videos
Aim trainers helped me when I moved from console to pc. The best tip I can give is aim train, but your priority has to be playing your main game.
trainers provide the basics and the foundation, u build ur movement and map awareness based on these foundations
like always quality content
u r my favorite youtube channel ❤❤❤
Seeing as you're the only person on the internet I've seen that truly swears by the Zaunkoenig M2K I would love to see your review of the G-Wolves HSK pro 4k. It's wireless 4khz and its only 5grams heavier than the M2K at 29grams.
From where i stand, aim trainers just helps your foundation of mouse control. Once you start getting good like you said, in the top 10%, you dhould try harder senarios. Like of you get qltop 10% overall in the basic online playlist then go up to intermediate and train there untill top 10% again the onto the next one
Another great vid!
Confidence is key. It'll make you a lol calmer in very intense situations.
Aim training definitely works. You want to get good enough with your aim so you don't have to think about it imo
very good and informative video, only thing i disagree with is using widow hs lobbies for warmup in ow2. regular ffa or tryhard ffa lobbies are much better suited for warmup and improvement, even as widowmaker, since the hs only mode is imo too reductive compared to actual in game fights
But as widowmaker you're literally only ever chasing headshots. And since the headshots are the hardest thing to hit it would make sense to train it the hardest. I mean shit if you can consistently hit widow headshots everything else just seems easy in comparison
One of the best channels on CZcams.
Vertical also soo good training in it. Specially on falling targets or valking targets
Ali, please tell me what corsair lpx ram did you use in your 4090 build? Love your style!
My largest reccomendation w/ aim training is changing up your routine any time you feel like your aim is plateauing
Dude's cracked. Bought Kovaaks after seeing this video, was expecting myself to be maybe somewhere near 40-50% :D Boy was I wrong, 20-35 is my top range depending on tasks, I can't imagine getting 85% :D
Kovaaks, in 2 weeks increase my flicking in warzone with sniper sooo hight that i start to have about 10 kills from 2-3. Basically gave me like 80% in aim. Simply you overshoot person just because you aim him better, also helps to train headshots and control area you want to shoot like upper body.
Its really recommended
May be best video on this subject
This is why I think games like division were awesome. You could practice in pve with your exact build before pvp.
I recently repaired my 2013 DeathAdder, it would be interesting to see 10-20 y.o. mice tested against today's mice.
i see fun in beating my own record in kovaak scenarios
Steam says I have roughly 2000hrs in aim trainers (I religiously warmed up with them every day for 7+ years). Back when I was really sweaty with FPS games my opponents frequently accused me of aimbot, it happened soo often I got more annoyed than flattered. When your aim sucks aim trainers are incredible.
Ayeee the Hayate Otsu, a man of culture i see 😤
Same with everything in life, the first weeks of progression for anything will be much more steep. Hence why its better for lower rank people with bad aim to use an aim trainer to get their mechanical aim up to standard. Once your aim is good enough theres going to be little to no value, so now you focus on improving by training in game aim and other things like game sense.
Doesnt hurt to hop on an aim trainer for 10-30 mins before a game to warm up tho. Lots of pro players do this and it helps to stimulate your brain so your not half asleep while playing.
you should try Voltaic Benchmarks, pretty nice aim community
i mean, i played many different fps games with different aspects of importance and back in the day i did it on an underpowered laptop with less than 60fps.... even the ones with reflexes as the main trait for the game, sometime better map knowledge and predictions and making surprises is much more effective than you might think.... because it makes you get into your own pace... don't follow the opponent's pace that could be erratic, make the opponent follow your own pace so all you need to do is chill and just do your thing as if it was clockwork...
but tbh when it comes to actually training, i think the best training method is just limit your fps to 30 in a game you want to be good at.... and just keep playing it till you get 30~40% headshot accuracy in far range shots.... this is like the most spartan move and the quickest way to get actually good in a game.... because when i finally got a 60fps monitor and a setup that could do 60 fps stable, i was killing those people where i was at in terms of ranking from my old setup.... and when i got my 144hz setup... it was just a cake walk....
I have no idea why I am watching this video, but I'm staying on because of how well it is presented.
Can you review the mojo 68 keyboard? Loving the content btw
I played A LOT of valorant and aimtrainers really did help me a lot even in a very deep rank and high hours. I don't think it's placebo or confirmation bias, since I hated aim trainers and didn't expect an improvement.
Babe wake up…new Optimum tech vid just dropped
its really cool aim training then seeing recommended videos about DPI deviation.
edit: how you can be more accurate, to how inaccurate is your mouse?
so this is what I'm up against when I just want to chill and play games
Yuup, i ultimately only play single player masterpieces because of it.... sometimes i hop back into apex and battlefield just to being destroyed with depression level increasing again😅
In short it's a shame that the general multiplayer side of gaming it's turning in only sweats players screaming at you if you suck throu voice chat, everything you try in there will make you feel trash at times
I used to use aim trainers when starting off in pc fps. Once I developed a very comfortable style of aiming I moved my warmup aiming to CS. I play 1-3 matches of casual and then hop on my desired game. Some friends suggested OSU but I personally don't like OSU but that is just me. I would say my aim is as an average to slightly above player
I would like to see you trying vr and giving us your thoughts about it
It’s definitely an efficient warmup I will say.
bro started his CS:GO pro arc
If you want to get into aimtraining, and making sure you are not developing bad habits or playing scenarios completely wrong, i recommend riddbtw and westproter channels
For me, I have to warmup using aim trainers. I've tried warming up using bots in game, and TDM, ect. but I never get to the level of consistency and aim that I do when I use an aim trainer to warm up. I think this is because I started out with horrible aim before I played aim trainers, so I don't have that natural skill (aka talent) where I can just warmup in game.
Your so good at aiming!
unexpected gaming chad
your overwatch aim looks insane
Hey OT, I was just wondering if you can give tips on content creation and making YT your main life source.
Nah the opening scene of this video is crazy. Goes hard
Great video as always 🫡
