TLDR: Any warmup routine is better than none. Gridshot indirectly improved my aim by making mouse movement more comfortable.

After a long break, I got back into Valorant and decided that I would start warming up with Aim Lab before I played any games. The tasks I mostly played consisted of Gridshot, spidershot, and decisionshot. However, I ended up playing mostly gridshot towards the end. (30 min warmup before I started playing games) I noticed that going for accuracy in gridshot correlated with speed which improved my score. My tip is for people to prioritize accuracy in gridshot instead of trying to be TenZ right off the bat.

Aim lab Starting rank: Emerald 4 (Gridshot: 66k) Valorant Starting rank: Plat 3

Aim lab ending rank: Diamond 4 (Gridshot: 94k) Valorant ending rank: Diamond 3(demoted from diamond 3 5 times. ranked is a struggle)

My takeaway from this: Gridshot allowed me to be a lot more comfortable with both vertical and horizontal flicks and I feel more confident in my aim as a result. I saw more improvement with having a consistent warmup routine than before where I would just hop in the range whenever I was feeling off. If you don't have a warmup routine already, I'd recommend giving aim lab a try. I'd also like to note that crosshair placement is equally important to aim. You will win more aim duels with proper crosshair placement vs trying to flick your opponents.
