Hi there, I don't play valorant - but I did play CS:GO until valve fucked that game.
By this I mean; circa right around the rank redistribution of 2017, where I fell from high LEM/low supreme to LE, whereafter I only play casually and usually get placed at dmg after I win a placement because i'm inactive.
I didn't stop playing shooters though! I played some apex legends, rainbow six, Ghost recon, Arma, COD games ... and even some valorant, where I got placed at gold 1 in act3 (which I think is okay with only 14 hours under my belt, not knowing what any agents do)
BUT! I've just begun playing apex legends again, and when i tried to convert my sensitivity i figured i should check if that 4 y/o sensitivity still was the best (1.159 @ 800dpi). When i began playing valorant i quickly ran through the 360 degrees method while taking into account Tenz's guide on how to find a good sens, which is to start at "extremes" and narrow it down by feel, and discovered that it was around the 0.37 that my CS:GO sensitivity converts to (0,364) . BUT I didn't want to narrow it down by feel again or to convert my exact sensitivity - i wanted to see what made me play the best!
So i started testing; I downloaded aimlabs and i ran through a playlist of four training tasks to measure the performance of each sensitivity. I did this by running through the playlist at each sensitivity, 0.37, 0.44 and 0.56. After doing this once, i realised that my score might actually just be getting better because i was warming up, and not because i was using a higher sensitivity. So then i ran the test again, but this time playing two rounds of spidershot at one sensitivity, then two round of that on the next, and lastly the third. Then the next task in the same order. Then i added the results together and took the average of both the rounds and all the rounds, to see what sens technically worked best.
And as you can see, Shroud and Tenz might actually be on to something. I do have to mention though, that taking more tests to make a more accurate average would be better, but I don't have the time for that xD. In some tests, there were outlier scores where I got an insane score right after bombing the same test with the same sensitivity. All these results are fine in my opinion, and I managed to make it to supreme with my old sensitivity, so it's just about finding what is comfortable for you. Got to emerald IV on Aimlabs with two hours of gameplay, so I guess I've still got some skill. Maybe.
So if u want to find your perfect sensitivity, so go with what feels right. And it should probably be an eDPI around 250-500 for aim heavy games (eDPI is in-game-sensitivity times DPI)
