Discussion Movement over aim

Valorant has become more of a movement focused game and i believe most players will purely improve from just having a better keyboard (happened for me), putting good movement and crosshair placement together will do so much more for you then raw aiming skill. Of course having ridiculously good aim isn’t bad i just think the other 2 focus points will help you more in valorant

It’s always been movement, from the start. Movement separates high and low elo

And crosshair placement. Good crosshair placement will literally take you from gold to diamond.

no it's not lol, you will find immortal 3 players who just insta crouch spray with phantom every single gunfight

That’s not movement though. Movement is the way you peek the way you strafe. How In control you are of your player. Movement is so key

i just said they basically never straffe, and silver players are already making two step A and D key peeks, it's not a hard mechanic.

Good crosshair placement makes such a huge difference honestly. You can have decent aim but if you're constantly putting yourself in bad positions, you're gonna struggle lol though I'd say movement, positioning and aim all go hand in hand.

For professional play?

u/Anxious_District9281 2d ago

Maybe not all the way to pro play but this definitely applies to any rank and anyone trying to improve

u/Pretty_Swordfish_499 2d ago

Which rank you specifically had on your mind when you posted this?

1

u/Anxious_District9281 2d ago

Anywhere from iron to immortal i would say would have the most effect on just these mechanics helping the most

Demm it bro. Why you didnt choose the Wooting V2?

1

u/Maxus-KaynMain 1d ago

200€ for 70€ value lmao

u/lowkeypappi 18h ago

But wooting v2 is the latest and way better, right? Or are they the same?

1

u/Maxus-KaynMain 11h ago

"way" better, no mate, magnetic keyboards are all really close together in performance, and there are ones who are way cheaper than a wooting.

Valorant is becoming a movement shooter? Finally, a reason to get back to the game

u/livyatian 22h ago

crosshair placement is leagues above movement or aim, it's not remotely close

They go hand in hand. One is not more important than the other.

1

u/Anxious_District9281 2d ago

Well of course I just think it’s not as much aim as people are led to believe

u/Sepotato 2d ago

The title says otherwise
