Firstly, I don't claim to be a god CS player. At my peak, I was rank A on ESEA. That being said, all I'm outlining here are a few misconceptions I often see new players have and a few fundamental rules of thumb for situations that you are o...

Does Valorant use raw input by default?
Just asking because my mouse DPI is 800 but with Windows mouse settings it goes down to 400, but when I use raw input since it skips Windows then it goes back to 800, and I just need to know so I can compare my sensitivity to CS:GO.

For people who wanted to try AIMLABS to improve their aim, I tested AIMLABS for 2 weeks
TLDR; It definitely works, but spheretrack is a bad task(for me at least). From plat 1 in act 1 and act 2 and struggling against plats 3s and now I can consistently out-aim diamond 3s in duels. Will continue to do tasks as It works for me....

I ranked up(SoloQ) from Bronze 2 to Plat 1 in Act 3. Just some points that might help other people.
I know Plat 1 is not that high, but coming from bronze, its quite an achievement.
1. Don't auto-lock any agent and try to learn atleast 3-4 agents. I only played Omen and Jett earlier but I started playing Cypher, Sova, Killjoy.
2. I chan...

PSA: If you use aimlabs to warm up, make sure you are using the right game profile.
I have something like 100 hours on Valorant using the wrong sens because Aim Labs and Valorant have different sensitivity factors. Don't make the same mistake as me. Make sure its right.

I have seen a lot of people talk about aim and sensitivity on this reddit so i thought i might give you a small guide that helped me find the perfect dpi and made me hit flicks more consistently. Immortal 2 ( not to flex with my rank just to show you that im pretty sure this will also work for you!)
