Most efficient way to learn mechanics.

[Wijsneus]

Goodevening everyone,

I am platinum and I already learned how to rotate properly and stuff but my mechanics are lacking. How can I improve them as fast as possible? By playing games or by doing custom training? I am lacking the most in dribbles and flicks and double-touches. Any help?

Only playing can probably only get you so far.

Most efficient way to learn\improve mechanics is focused training. I've been playing for about 1.5k hours, stuck on same ranks more or less (around gold), not learning much. I started setting aside 50% of my gametime to training and got a huge improvement (used to be gold before, now I'm diamond2-3, and might even get Champ soon).

The way I did it (others might have different experience) is this:

Kevpert is a fecking legend I tell ya :D. Go over this list, not in order, but in order of most simple mechanics first, then move onto more advanced ones.
It would be very painful at first, you wont be able to do even the simplest drills he lists, but with enough repetition you would soon discover you've developed some new muscle memory :)

Dribble/carry/throw training is pretty good:

Input Lag:
Disable v-sync, get a 144hz monitor, dont cap your fps and WIN:

Thanks a lot man. I have 800 hours and still at platinum. While a friend of mine got 400 hours and is diamond. I used to almost only play matches cause it's a lot of fun but now i am good at positioning and rotations but my mechanics are holding me off from diamond. The training you gave me will help me i guess.
