Not able to hold angles.

[CringeKid]

Okay so i have good aim and crosshair placement and pretty decent game sense. But what i find most difficult is holding an angle waiting for someone to peek. Now i know that you shouldn't hold an angle too close to the wall as it's too hard to react to it. So i usually keep it a bit away from the wall. Now its pretty easy if the enemy jump right into my crosshair and i can easily headshot them. The problem is if they widepeek, I'm not able to kill them and they just run across my crosshair. Any help? Is it my reaction time that is the problem?

lower your mouse sensitivity, pick a total DPI from between 400-1600 eDPI max, for example if you prefer 1600, then set your mouse to 400DPI and in game sensitivity to "4"

Practice aim tracking a moving target and make sure you can track a players head smoothly without overshooting/undershooting the target.

While holding the angle make sure your cursor is waiting at head height and be ready for the peak.

First of all, crosshair placement must depend on situation. You should know which positions is better to hold with keeping it wide or close from the wall. Imagine you are holding slope on mirage very close. If you hear flashes they would probably just rush out so you should keep your crosshair wide enough to kill the running guy. If you don't hear any step you should keep your crosshair close because they don't want to make noise and they will peek step by step. And of course don't forget about small movements when you hold a close angle ( I mean shift + A+D) so you won't lose focus. If you hold an angle from long distance you can peek, hide behind the box, wait 3 seconds and peek again so you will get a peekers advantage. I hope this helps.

And don't change the sensitivity like the guy above said, it won't help you and make it even worse. You should play with the sensititvity you are comfortable with.

The guy who peeks someone has always an advantage.
It is due to ping and brain reaction.It is far normal.

It is the gameplay : if you wait at a corner and your opponent knows it, he will peek you and you have high probabilities to be dead.( unless you have AWP)

_Some pros to keep awake their brain and to do not be static walks a bit right and left.

_You may also peek few times gain info.

_To gain avantage when they peek you , you have to be elsewhere they think you are.
It will break their crosshair placement and you will gain time to retaliate.

_It seems you understand a bit the perspective in CSGO

Okie let's say I'm holding the wall in long where awpers normally peek from long doors. So i usually keep it a bit from the wall cuz you know, no one's gonna peek so tight. But then someone always runs across the entire length ofy mouse pad to pit xD. Now if i hold it wide, what if the guy peeks close to the wall? Again I'll have to flick instantly. I really don't know how to deal with it. Either i react too slow or these GN's are too stupid to peek close to the wall. Why can't you peek properly ffs?!?!

My sens is fine. I play 1.2 on 800dpi and i can hit my shots. But holding angles, that i suck at xD

Things that would improve it - probably.

Good sleep, good nutrition,exercise - your reaction times would improve
Also a 144 or 240 hz monitor.

I literally have the same problem. Apart from the monitor I don't do those other things xD
Also, its a bit easier with Scout/AWP (but I love sniping in general)

i always keep moving, say im holding white box on cache, i will always be moving with my awp, keeps my brain in motion, also lets me peak them as well instead, so i have the peakers advantage

I have a 60hz monitor. Could that be it?
Cuz i know it's not my aim cuz i can headshot pretty well. My spray is not great but i make up for it with good bursts and taps. It's only angle holding and it's really annoying cuz i keep dying a lot to it

hi,

my advice to you is to try yprac maps:

e.g.

& even map specific:

Please let me know when it helped you =)


Greetings

I have the map but don't really play it. Mostly aimbotz and dm but I'll give it a go. But what do you think is a good reaction time? I think the last time i checked it was 240ms or so.

Is the answer

No refresh rate will not improve your reaction time, something you need to improve with practice.

practice you reaction time on a practice map, also practice strafe very short distances back and fourth and learn to fire your weapon when you switch directions in your strafe, you can tell when you can accurately fire when your cross-hair closes in at the moment you switch directions. When doing this you will still be accurate and the enemy will have a hard time headshotting you.

Another problem you might have is that you are not bursting long enough to finish the job before he does. You want to make sure that during your burst the first bullet hits the enemies head and while continuing to burst you want to drag your mouse downward. practice your spray control with a couple guns and get good with them.
