Aim & practice

Aim and practice guides

Want your aim to hold up when the fight gets messy? Start by finding a sensitivity you can keep, build a short warmup before ranked, then work on tracking or flicking, whichever your hero needs more. I play Zarya at Master on 1200 DPI, so a lot of this comes straight from my own routine.

Keep one sensitivity

Pick a sensitivity and stick with it for a few weeks. Changing it every bad game resets your muscle memory. Mine is 3.5 at 1200 DPI in Overwatch.

Ten to fifteen minutes before ranked is plenty. You want your hand loose and your eyes awake, not tired before the first match.

Beam and hitscan tracking heroes want smooth tracking practice. One-shot heroes want flicks. Spend most of your time on the one you use.

If your aim falls apart in close fights, check your hand. A tight grip and raised shoulders make your crosshair jitter.

Find a sensitivity with one swipe on the pad you play on. Measure it with the sensitivity converter. There is no best sensitivity to copy.

Warm up before ranked in the game you queue. One motion, then queue. A longer block, a different game, or a new sensitivity is not the warmup.

Guides

A short warmup that matches the game you queue: the Overwatch range first, then one drill.

Guides

Tracking keeps the crosshair on a target that keeps moving while you fire. Clicking moves to a target, stops, and fires once.

Guides

A flick is one fast move from where the crosshair is to a target off it, a stop, then the click. The stop is the skill.

Stop tensing while aiming by naming the pinch, the raised shoulder, or the held breath, then loosening that one spot on a swipe you already know.
