One thing I see come up a lot in this subreddit is people struggling with aim and feeling inconsistent. I've seen lots of feedback to those posts asking about the players sensitivity or giving advice on what sensitivity to use. One of the things I’ve noticed is that these players never actually tailor their sensitivity for themselves. Instead they either copy a pro/streamer, stick with something random, or keep changing it because it doesn't feel good.

I’m a Masters/GM level DPS player and I've been coaching for a long while now. Since I see this come up almost weekly in one place or another I put together a small tool and walkthrough explaining how to find YOUR perfect PC sensitivity because I find it’s easier to follow a video explanation than text. If you're interested you can find it here.

Even if you don't watch or take to this approach If you're struggling with your sensitivity I highly suggest exploring methods to find a sensitivity that works for YOU. Not a pro player or the average reddit commenter, YOU.

Thanks for reading and I hope this is helpful for at least one of you out there :)

I don't know if it's my fault lol when I reached Diamond 5 with a lot of effort, I thought I was getting good at the game, but no, If I managed to reach Gold 1, the problem wasn't just my team, it was definitely me.

I reached Diamond 5 playing Mizuki and Wuyang, but I realized I wasn't really good with them lol, they were just strong... But then I started dropping in rank with those same characters. So I switched thinking "I must be being diff" but I kept falling until I reached Gold 1.

I only play with Ilari, Juno, Wuyang, and Mizuki, I've tried everything lol, I tried playing with only 2 characters to improve as much as possible but it didn't work... I've practiced my aim a lot, but I NEVER get 60% aim, it's always -50%. I have terrible aim, lol, definitely

With Wuyang? I can't even get 40% aiming accuracy (and only 20% direct hit accuracy).

But I have good healing and damage, usually it's always 5k damage and 10k healing, but I know that's not enough, so I play characters like Mizuki, because they can offer more than just healing, So I get 10k healing and 10k damage... But guess what, it's not enough for me to win lol So I play with other champions that I think make sense with the team composition. I perform well with healing and damage, but I still lose, even when switching characters.

And I play this game a lot, I play every day, and every day I lose, I've lost so much that I think I dropped 7 ranks. Is my team sometimes bad? Yes, but I must be the main problem no?? lol It's impossible that I lost so much because of my team ????

Please leave some tips, like better supports to play, positioning, or sensitivity... Anything, I just want to stop being bad at this game and stop dropping an entire rank. (lol Sorry if this sounded like a "rant," I'm just genuinely annoyed and a little frustrated about this)

Storyline basically goes that my friend arrogantly declared that he will get to Diamond in one month because he is good at games and Overwatch cant be that hard (Ascendant in Val, Master Guardian in csgo, etc etc.) I laughed too.

Now a Month and a half later He is currently hovering between Bronze 1 and Silver 5. but problem is I feel like ive been actively suppressing him since im usually somewhere between High Gold and Plat. If my mains are buffed that season I can sneak into Diamond.

Because of this every game we’ve done together has been a wide match, but I didnt care much for that since I assumed I would be penalised for bringing a little lout into the leagues. Problem is though every win we get I gain anywhere between +20 to +108 % for my rank while he most of the time only sees increases of like 12, 8, 18. if god is good maybe a 20% increase. And after Reading through how the system works I generally understand it, but the problem is im not sure what to do with this information.

Like an example would be how I went from Plat 5 to Plat 2 in the same session he went from Silver 4 to 3. Both playing Supports

Should I make him play solo? To what rank? At what point would he start gaining from wins as much as I do? Should I wait til he gets to gold/platinum or would like High silver be enough?

Also ig the most important question is was it my fault that he got put into Bronze 1 to begin with? Given how the lower rank group members seem to be penalised and since the wide matchmaking was applied even when we were both doing placements id assume so, but im just not sure.

I was a Diamond 5 player that recently dropped into Gold 2.

I just started a new job and ultimately haven’t had the time I once had to play Overwatch, and when I do it’s usually solo queue (i’ll get into that.) but since getting that job for some reason i’ve found myself nervous to actually queue competitive with a sort of “what if i’m the reason we lose?” Or “what if I drop even further?” Mindset I can’t get rid of.

Because of that I actually end up becoming part of the reason we lose, consistently hearing about “our bad dps” alongside getting toxic remarks (as folk do, unfortunately) then clicking tab to see.. yeah, i’m actually not doing as much as I thought and then it starts to further knock that confidence mid-game, i’ve also completely switched from 5-stacking to solo queue.. since I now play during the day while the rest of my folk play late at night, so that’s a big change for me.

Truth be told, I didn’t think a drop in rank like that was even possible in such a short time, but it does go to show that your mentality really does hold a big factor, question is HOW do I get over this? Is it just something i’ll have to deal with for now and then climb back up? or is there ways of handling it?

Thanks for reading, haha!
