[00:02] your most underrated aiming tool. Most players spend hours grinding their aim and never think about the one thing that is directly affecting the accuracy of every single bullet they shoot. If you are holding W and firing at the same [00:15] situations, you are spraying bullets with zero accuracy. [music] So, stop gambling that you get a kill. That habit alone is quietly losing you more duels than any crosshair placement mistake ever has. Every shot you fire in [00:29] Valorant needs to happen from a stop position or at the very least from the end of a completed strafe. The mechanics work like this. When you are moving, your bullet spread is wide. When you fully stop, your spread tightens to its [00:41] base value. Counter-strafing, which means tapping the opposite direction key to cancel your momentum instantly, is what lets you go from moving to accurate in the shortest possible time. If you are not counter-strafing in every single [00:53] fight, you are slower and less accurate than the players who are and you will your crosshair placement is better than theirs.
